Hi Jem, I went past a antique shop that was closing down, looked like it had a wooden fair ground horse in the window, said every thing must go, it was 661 Fulham rd London, I will be passing it next Wednesday, if you want me to get the number.

I got a call a few weeks back from one of the Art Directors at my old ad agency asking if I could make him a desk that was a 'bit different'.

The Art Directors at Leo Burnett are looked upon as gods and are therefore allowed to have any desk they like. That being the case they all try and out do each other with 'different'.

Having had the benefit of working there and seen the competition, I'm hoping that this could be the one to beat.

The main part of the desk has had my rust treatment and the top is polished steel.

You seem like too much of a nice guy to have worked for an AD Agency

my idea of hell working in the world of advertising

i see they are responsible for recent McDonalds ads in the uk linking them to the Olympics,also Kellogs,Daz,Homebase and others.

I think this is the Worst of the advertisments from your old Agency about the Drug Driving.

http://www.leoburnett.co.uk/our-work/de ... transport/ yea right no way are they going to spot if your pupil is diolated when they drive past you...i do not buy that!

Sorry about that Jem....but the desk looks great

or as tony the Tiger would say from Kellogs TM It's GR-R-RATE

I see you've been doing your homework Tony

Leo Burnett have got 87 offices worldwide. Leo Burnett (London) is the second biggest outside the head office based in Chicago.

A couple of interesting facts: McDonalds and Kellogg's have used Leo Burnett for all of their TV advertsing since their inception.

Here's a couple that I had the priviledge of working on. The Shelter ad won about every advertising award worldwide.

All very nice but the crazy long hours, the immense pressure to 'deliver' time and time again, the 'suits' screaming ''where is it'' and a 4 hour train journey every day made me realize that life is just too short for me to be involved in the advertising game any more.

I'm no spring chicken now and I've been there and done it. Time for the young turks to take over and let them get on with it.

Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.

Keep them mowing blades sharp...

I know what I like and I like what I know but your wardrobe is a bit rubbish especially with those skinny jeans!

They presented around a hundred different items to the C4 Execs last week and the Streamliner got through

Filming is on the 21st December.

From now on you'll only be able to contact me through my Agent

How did it go on the 21st Jem? Or have you been sworn to secrecy

Had a great day filming the programme thanks Stew but alas I had to sign an NDA so unfortunately I can't say anything

What I can say however is that it will be screened in April
