Les Watt is now slim and everyone else has got fat. How odd.

If this was a showreel from a single agency, it would be one hell of an agency.

Looks like The Drum are only allowing positive comments on this story - anything negative or critical seems to get removed within minutes. Is this a new policy or is it just one rule for Simon Mallinson and another for Rob Morrice...?

Actually what happened is someone anonymous posted saying they reckoned that it was the client's money that paid for the aforementioned visit to the colombe d'or.

I replied rather vehemently comparing the anonymous poster to the part of our anatomy upon which we sit.

this was deleted as was original poster's comment.

There Richard - all done without a sweary word in sight.

By the way, good on you simon.

He is a God. But an interventionist God. I love Simon to death and it is fair to say I've had more fights with him than anyone else in advertising. Keep up the good work big man

Luv

big man.

Wow...it's like a old style gentlemans club; overweight, white, middle aged blokes... Well done old boy - what a diverse industry we work in.

p.s. I would love to go to The Colombe D' Or; how does one go about getting invited by Simon?

Yes Will, I'm afraid you do know me; sorry. But, on the plus side, if it's any consolation, I really don't like you.
