Mark... Excellent comment. In the old days of "Advertising Agencies" You had a general idea of who did what to produce the "Advertising." Now, we have no idea. Lots of nebulous titles... Bugger all to show for it. Except the humongous pay/bonus packages for senior management. Cheers/George

If you're going to lie... Make it "Bigly."

You're not going to believe this... When Der Trumpf treated us to the vivid account of the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi “crying and screaming” in the final minutes before his death. There was just one problem: No one else... Continue reading
