Thank you for your thoughts, Pertti. Like the Energiser Bunny, you just go on and on. You have some astonishing ideas, but I believe the secret of a successful pitch is to not have too much of a good thing. Until tomorrow.

re:	meeting

Would everybody who is in to work on Coke (excluding Nigel Godley) assemble in the boardroom. James Weissmuller has arrived. He would like to meet you and make a brief announcement.

Think of the speech he just made. When that much shit comes out of your mouth, you’ve got to replace it with something.

We’ve got some ideas. Can’t tell whether they’re brilliant or crap. You’d better come and see them . . .

Pinki and Liam have just shown me some posters, which we all agree are well below par. If you can free yourself from Jim for a few moments you should take a look.
