Design agency Love and former director Alistair Sim are to meet today at an Employment Tribunal

It is understood that Sim is still fighting for a financial settlement after he left the Manchester-based design business late last year.

 

 Sim split with the agency that he launched and built after being found guilty of assault last year, however it is believed that to date a settlement between the two parties has not been reached.

It is understood that evidence will be heard from four witnesses today - Alistair Sim, Dave Palmer, Phil Skegg and Richard Hall, who recently left Love.

 

The Drum is at the Tribunal today in Manchester and will report further details later.

Are Chris and Richard's fake police mugshots a deliberate reference to Sim's arrest?

Manchester's answer to Days of our lives, it just keeps on resurfacing. What's next? David Ogilvy faked his own passing and has returned from deepest China to reclaim his empire?

It's like Mills Vs. McCartney all over again. Not sure which is which though.

Paul McCartney was the bloke. Heather Mills only had one leg.

You sound very sure of yourself.

"Was"? "Had"? Barring any unfortunate accidents or major medical procedures, I believe maleness and single-leggedness are still valid ways to distinguish between the two parties.

I am indeed very sure. McCartney=bloke. Mills=monoped. 100%!

Hasn't she still got half the other leg? Partial monoped then?

Good point! Or is it a stump?

Well, "ped" refers to foot, not leg. So unless she's got an artificial leg with a real foot, monopedal would seem to be the appropriate adjective.

I think they just mean they don't know which one is the devious, avaricious sl*g, and which one is the selfish old man.
