You’ll have to forgive me this week; I’ve come over all emotional (lucky “all emotional”, some might say) at the news that the Sweaties love us, after all. Thing is, I love nothing more than entertaining a Scotsman in a kilt and now that we’re all one big happy family again, I plan to head north of the border to show a few lucky fellas the lurve.
Of course, I could stay down south and give professional jocks Mike Cavers and Chris Whitson a good seeing-to but I’m not that desperate…
Now it’s all over, however, it will certainly create a big hole in the marketing press, as the likes of The Drum (OK we’ll let them off as they are based up there), Marketing Week, Marketing and Campaign have all tried to shoe-horn coverage of the referendum into their publications.
One wag even suggested that Scottish brands may suffer. Are you having a laugh? Do Irnbru and deep-fried Mars bars really count?
My favourite though has been from my old flame Jeremy Lee over at Campaign, who has been getting all misty eyed at the prospect of a break-up. And I quote: “The advertising industry as a whole has been enriched by Scottish talent and creativity over the years.” Like who luv?
Bless him; our Jezza was obviously a little worried that he wouldn’t get invited up to the ITV slaughter – er, I mean shooting day – to crack off a few hundred grouse if the “yes” camp got in.
Talking off “cracking off”, I see that the world’s first Apple Watch “hook up app” has already been developed, even though the device is not even on the market yet.
Dubbed “Close Encounters”, apparently all you have to do is load up the app and click the watch face and it will steer you in the direction of someone else who is desperate for a shag.
“No chat, no bullshit,” its creators announced. “Just share your location and follow the line until you reach your match. 3nder will be able to determine people around you in metres, so it will work indoors as well.” It seems these guys know what they are doing, too, having previously designed an app to allow smartphone users to arrange threesomes.
Sounds like the perfect Christmas present to me…
