“It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go, but I am yet to receive your lovely presents, they are coming soon I know…”
OK, apologies to Johnny Mattis, Bing Crosby and the gorgeous Michael Buble for revamping the words, folks, but where the hell are my Christmas treats you miserable lot?
According to my sources on Campaign, they are being showered every day with bubbly, chocolates, hampers, and iPads. All I’ve had so far is a poxy calendar. Even my esteemed editor hasn’t given me anything…
Anyway, he’s told me that I’ve got to get out there in the ‘social space’ because apparently I am the only part of this website that drives traffic. So, I have been forced to set up a Twitter account @BustyIdol
The good news for you lot is that you will be able to get a great look at my huge tweets every day; the bad news is that I will have to do loads more work. The most important thing, though, is that I get plenty of followers, so please spread the word. I can’t have my editor @DM_editor having more followers than me. Not only would that be very embarrassing, it might lead to me getting fired – and you wouldn’t want that would you?
Anyway, in my hangover stupor last week I forgot to mention that I bumped into the lovely Xavier Rees at the DMA Awards. You may remember years ago he resigned from Archibald Ingall Stretton to join Claydon Heeley, just weeks after being made a board member. Maybe he knew something we didn’t. You may also remember that my Uncle Ivan had a bit of a pop at him a few months back when he wrote about ‘The agencies which might’ve been’.
For some reason he wrote: “What if Chris Ward, Simon Andrews, Marc Nohr, Paul Kitcatt, David Evans, Xavier Rees and Philip Slade got together? Admittedly that is a little far-fetched, but we would have had an agency called WANKERS. And, quite by coincidence, many of them are too!”
Bloody Ivan. As you can imagine, old ‘Xav’ wasn’t too chuffed to be called a ‘wanker’ and it took all my feminine wiles, as well as a Busty Bonus, to ensure he didn’t unleash the lawyers on us. That’s another one Ivan owes me.
Still, I must dash, the postman is knocking; he might just have a little Christmas treat for me…
