Media Bitch's Diary April 21

This week Media Bitch takes on the swoonsome Jeremy Male, still doesn't get her wedding invite and gets golf fever with City AM.

Jeremy Male: tall, blond and gorgeous

Tall, Blonde and Gorgeous Male

Bitch always likes a handsome man, but she wasn't so sure about the outdoor boys (more the online graduates), until, that is, she heard about a certain Jeremy Male, CEO for Northern Europe and Australia at JCDecaux. The erudite Male apparently cuts quite a dash around the Sale Place offices, but according to his colleagues they already know this, or why would they have put a picture of a 2007 outdoor campaign for McDonald's fries exclaiming "tall, blonde and gorgeous" directly behind his desk on the office wall?

Teeing off

Seems like those boys at City AM have been putting from the rough as off late. Bitch received a series of photos from the golf course, when the boys took out their agency friends for a quick round (not in the bars of Borough this time).

The do took place at Kingswood Golf & Country Club in Surrey and included such luminaries as Steve Booth from Arena Media, Chris Amor of OMD and John Maloney of Maxus. Lest Bitch forget, there were actually people who could play the game like City AM's columnist Sam Torrance handing out the bats (is that what they call them?) and the eventual trophy, won by Booth himself.

Close protection

Bitch is really looking forward to the Royal Wedding (no invite yet Wills and Kate, surely an oversight?) and was a little concerned to read on the front page of Marketing that brands are set to gain little from their Royal Wedding ties. However, some brands seem to be cashing in just fine, with the release of the very unofficial Royal Wedding condoms.

Now Bitch is a liberal kind of girl, but she must warn those of you wanting to take them for a ride yourself, that she hopes they're not going to use this strapline in any advertising they plan to carry out – "Like a Royal Wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion" Ewwwweeeuughh!

Clearly first rate

In her rush to put her marathon special together, Bitch forgot about two of the special boys at Clear Channel who got all hot and sweaty and gave all they had.

Spent at the finishing line (Bitch knows all about that) were Paul Coldham, account manager of Create + Collaboration at Clear Channel UK who finished in six hours and eight minutes and Edward Knight, account manager at Clear Channel UK who recorded a blistering time of three hours and 50 minutes.

Edward ran for Openwork Foundation who focus on supporting disadvantaged children and young people in the UK and overseas who face social, physical or mental challenges and raised over £1,000.

Paul ran for Connections at St Martins, the homeless charity, and raised more than £800.
