Good news, Shay is still Shay, but now he’s official Shay. He’d like to thank everyone at WK Lon and WK ‘Dam for making him and his ex-art director Micky feel so welcome over the last 16 months while permalancing.

Sadly she’s gone to work in a kebab shop in Dubai, so if you’re passing through do say hi.

He’d also like to thank us for giving him the means to buy the Villa in Carcassonne and the Maserati Quattroporte XII. With a special mention to Ben Walker who unselfishly turned down many a pay rise to help him achieve this.

Shay has also been official at other places after studying advertising at Newcastle. Namely 4 years at Lowe Howard Spink, followed by 4 years at the original ‘Weekend’ and Kennedy, Leagas Delaney.

Interestingly Kim and Tony were also schooled under the strict Headmaster Delaney. (Traditional agency TD) But turned out okay, like Shay, sort of, after intense therapy.

He then tarted his way around agencies before eventually ending up here for a week and a bit. Sitting next to Neil (who needed to keep a watchful eye).

Shay is an official team member of the Great Britain pub Olympic team.

Silver in the 2004 Coits, Dominoes and killer medley.

His top tip: ‘Good curry, Brick Lane, 14^th or 15^th one on the left, orange fascia, I think, near the mini cab place’.

He looks forward to being even more of service.
