Coincidence in Life ... not in fiction

Chutzpah & Chutzpah: Saatchi & Saatchi: The Insiders' Stories by [Goode, Simon, Myers, Richard, Darke, Nick]
At Palma airport for half term... left my beer with a lovely couple while I smoked

On my return we got talking ... after my usual bullshit I admitted that I was a Mad Man. She worked at Saatchi in their pomp

"Do you know Claire Myerscough?"

She was my first boss at Zenith where I met the wonderful Erol Mekhmet Mustafa Emirali.  Erol has a fantastic filthy story about Bill Muirhead... I have another unprintable one, but this lady topped them all

There was a problem with expenses at Saatchi.  They were drinking the profits... A meeting was convened "Muirhead ... you're the worst... what do you suggest we do about it...?"

"Let's go for lunch... open a nice bottle of wine... & discuss it"
