Busty eyes Whitson’s large package

So, I bet you’re all wondering what’s going on with that lovely Chris Whitson – the man who’s so proud to wear his kilt in the “traditional manner” and who’s never afraid to prove it either – after the news that he’s decided to jack it in for a “new challenge”.
To be honest, when someone says that it usually means they’ve been fired but not our Whitto. I mean, it seemed like only yesterday when he was spouting off to anyone who he could get to listen about how VCCP me were going to rule the world and how the new More Th>n campaign they’d produced was a peach, yeh really. (Well, I suppose at least this one didn’t get Turkey of the Week.)
At first, I thought maybe he was leaving to spend more time with his Willy. And by that I mean his son, not that thing he flashes at all and sundry after a few pints. Lucky Mrs Whitson, that’s all I can say…
Now the dust has settled though, he appears a little unconvinced of the wisdom of his resignation. According to his Facebook profile, even he’s admitted that, on reflection, it was an “odd decision”.
We’ll miss him that’s for sure and industry awards will certainly never be the same without his indefatigable charm, wit, and er, tartan skirt antics.
On a personal level, I’m actually pretty chuffed for him that he’s made some cash at last, especially after the CMW fiasco. As he is wont to repeat whenever he’s bladdered, some tosser leaked it to Campaign that he was thinking of leaving CMW, sparking an alleged hissy-fit from Jonathan Clark who stripped him of tens of thousands of pounds’ worth of shares. Poor sod.
And, dear readers, as you can see from my exclusive picture here, it seems he’s not too coy about showing off his packet. Not that I’m an expert on matters of cash – I mean I usually let my fella deal with paying for things – but I’d hazard a guess that he’s holding up a good ten grand or so.
Mind you, let’s hope that’s not his entire payout because, once he’s settled his bar tab at the Greencoat Boy in Victoria from last Friday, and paid back his expenses to Ben Stephens, he’ll be lucky to have enough for his train fare home…
