The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

i know matt is your mate and its a nice agency with a really different positioning (which makes a fucking nice change) but i know the real reason you wrote about it is because you want lee to pipe up we should have done this when you wanted to make cynic political.

well bad luck campbell because lee isnt talking to you after your uber-twat episode so youll just have to watch your mate get the acclaim instead of you 🙂

Stop being a smug little shit Andy – and you’re wrong, I’m back in the ‘good books’ as long as I keep my mouth shut for the next 7 years 🙂

and its nice to see youve decided were worth talking to again

i like this. i’m interested to see where these peeps go. the clincher? their forest, which you can check out from google earth – better than an ogilvy book any day.

I\’m afraid I don\’t understand how this works.

I like it. Thought about something like this. My imaginary agency was called “Dictatorship of Freedom” and then “People’s Republic of Everything”. Never passed the name thing. But I like it and I wish Matt good luck.

What’s more interesting is the bitching between Andy and you. The best read in a long time. But I hope it’s nothing serious.

Cool – a new agency with some positioning. Sure they’ll get some good business but the kicker will be which clients they decide not to work with.

As for planning sustainability – i’ve no idea what this means in practice. Does anyone have a meaningful view on what sustainability means? Anyone? Had we gone back 1000 years, would we have promoted a sustainable lifestyle? Would we have ever industrialised?

Helping the wider community is undoubtedly a good idea and highly profitable. However RoE to me currently says “special interest groups and greenwash this way” – hope I’m wrong and the can make a real difference.

I know what you’re saying John [“hello” by the way!] and I even said to Matt that ‘sustainability’ sounds all environmentally hippyish – but he assures me his company is about helping his clients succeed in business by finding ways that also helps humanity develop/grow … be it environment, education, playgrounds, whatever.

If it was anyone else I’d have my doubts – but he is a good, smart guy and whatever way you look at it, planting a forest is more of a statement than most ad companies could claim to have done.

Well, the fresh air in our harbour is much better but London air has something very special. And it’s much better than everyone says. But maybe I don’t miss London so much (fuck it, I do) but the people I know there. Maybe it’s the people what makes London so bloody toptastisch.

Getting a German to say “Toptastisch” is better than getting the OED to consider including BORINGE in the next edition.

And Niko – you are fast becoming my hero.

Don’t worry – I’ve written posts that should be Niko/Dodds and Andy friendly tomorrow.

Oh who am I kidding, I wrote them weeks back, ha!

matt – i dig your stuff and if you need help – happy to be there. except i’m in melbourne, in case that matters. either way – top stuff!

campbells post about happy fucking animals must of hypnotized me because i can see my last comment was truly fucking shit. apologies lauren, i wont let such bollocky lame comments happen again

shit. see what you made me do? sorry rob. sorry matt.
andy, you’re dropped.

and should be ashamed of yourself.
