“Some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.” That’s right folks, this is the sort of insightful stuff you’ve been missing this week if you haven’t been following SFW’s Chris Whitson on Twitter.
Of course, the Scots have been out in force all week, celebrating the double whammy of Burns’ Night and the prospect of Scottish independence.
But the latter has hit my poor old Uncle Ivan hard. It seems that his agency partner Harry ‘Clanman’ Hands has decided to move back north of the border, scuppering the imminent launch of their DM and data agency, Idol Hands.
This got me wondering whether Whitson and fellow ‘sweaty’ Mike Cavers would go back to Jockland if Alex Salmon wins the day. Well, anyone who’s ever bumped into them at an awards do – or even more scary, on the Oriana – will say, “we can but dreams girls”. Mind you, maybe Ivan could link up with them instead, Idol Whitson and Cavers certainly has a ring about it.
One person who is unlikely to be moving anywhere soon is TDA’s Neil Fox, who was spotted on BBC One’s Britain’s Empty Homes, showing off his gorgeous “part Georgian, part early Victorian farmhouse”. Apparently, he and his missus, Liz, have spent three years renovating the formerly disused property overlooking Chew Valley Lake in Somerset. According to the show, it’s in “one of the most breathtaking parts of the country”.
I actually missed it, but my sources say his face doesn’t really suit being broadcast on a 52-inch screen and in HD. I bet he looked lovely, and plan on telling him so, just as soon as I can get through to him to book a couple of weeks down there in the summer hols. How about it Foxy? Would a Busty Bonus seal it?
Finally, bad news for all those people who lavished gifts on Matt Williams at Campaign magazine, hoping to get some coverage – including the agency which allegedly got tickets for him and his girlfriend to see Girls Aloud (or someone like that) at the O2. He’s only gone and left hasn’t he?
Mind you, Matt will certainly have his work cut out as head of content for Engine Group, keeping all those egos massaged. And, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when he tries to tell the agency’s chiefs they are illiterate…
