I feel very badly let down by each and every one of you.
No, worse than let down.
Wounded.
I seem to spend my life defending your hides.
You repay me with the saddest parade of ideas passing off as advertising that it has been my misfortune to see.
At 3.30 tomorrow we will review Coca-Cola once again.
This is the saloon named Last Chance.
I kid you not.

I’m right out of staples and paper clips but I still have pads (lined and plain) and green Bics – Nige

re… FINAL WARNING
Gentlemen, I held back from singling you out in my note to the department to spare your embarrassment.
However, I would like you to know that your Coke idea was the worst of a lamentable bunch.
If you believe you can convince me that taking the brand name and highlighting the letters ‘OK’ is l’idée grande, one that will win us a multi-million pound account, then you must think I have been in this business five minutes.
It was worse than pathetic.
For too long I have harboured the fond hope that your banal profanities and shabby appearance masked the quick wits of true creative practitioners.
Sadly not.
Maybe you are simply demob happy at the prospect of winging your way to Mauritius next week to shoot LOVE. I would be more than happy to lift that heavy burden from your shoulders and cover the job myself if it would mean your rapt attention on Coke.
And when you have a moment, Vince, you might care to jot down on a scrap of paper exactly how you think that wearing a T-shirt that bears the legend, ‘TITS OUT FOR THE ART DIRECTOR’ could possibly be seen as suitable wear on a highly paid professional. I would love to know.

re… phew!
Pinki and Liam have given me some Mako scripts and posters that have put a grin on my face for the first time in weeks. Come and inspect them immediately and tell me that the pressure to salvage this account hasn’t totally screwed my judgement.

re… still here
Glad you’re still in employment, doll. Just one word of warning on the Bart/Brad/Liam thing: just remember what happened when you shagged that bloke in the Hacienda cos you thought he looked like Goldie … Debs

re… genius!
Harriet has just shown James and me your idea for Mako and I think it’s absolutely, totally brill! Well done! I don’t know how you creative chaps come up with it. Me, I haven’t got a creative bone in my bod – totally hopeless! See you later, clever clogs – Katie P

re… urgent
Lorraine, could I see David as soon as he’s out of his meeting on a very urgent matter? It regards Mako and an excellent idea that he must look at.

re… going, going …
Nigel, I don’t wish to be rude as I value your commitment to the company tremendously. However, IT tells me your e-mails are clogging the already over-burdened server. I’ve also had a number of complaints from people tired of wasting time on trivial memos. As I said, your hard work is appreciated. Please keep it up. Just go easy on the all-staffers.

re… arsehole
Complimenting our work? It must be fucking brilliant. Horne shat on us big time. Had a go at everything, including Vin’s T-shirt. Even threatened to take us off LOVE – twat. I’ve been on the phone to the headhunter. Vin called his mum. Apparently, she once went to his school and kicked the living shit out of his maths teacher when he got a bad mark. Said teacher needed reconstructive surgery on his ear. Letitia the fluffy headhunter had fuck-all in the way of jobs, so I reckon we’ll call in Mrs Douglas and her big baseball bat. We’re off to BZ – no point hanging round where we’re not wanted. See you there.
