Looks like they actually lured him out of the porno shop.
top notch creative. as good as they get.
Nice photo. Was it taken before or after you went in looking for a new copy of Jurranal Park?
Took you long enough, bro. Welcome to Sydney! Give me a shout when you’re free and we can catch up. And don’t pretend you’re not reading your own article.
Good luck Matt. The Palace Sydney has all the ingredients in place to become a real powerhouse in the very near future.
Avoid the little bit of politics left over from the old regime and kick some ass.
Oh, and don’t get into a conversation with Jacques unless you have some time on your hands. Chatty, that Burger fellow.
All the best mate.
Ho ho 2.49. Aren’t you clever.
No such film – It’s actually Jurassic Pork.
Don’t you mean Schindler’s Fist??
Incorrect spelling but there is a ‘film’ called Juranal Park
It’s Schindler’s Wrist actually.
Saatchi crew must be back together again….
First Ant, Robbie, John, Hywel and now Matt… who’s next?
Is it just me or does The Palace come across as a bit pompous every time they announce a new hire.
‘The Palace Sydney has all the ingredients in place to become a real powerhouse in the very near future.’
Is this a bad episode of Back to the Future?
