Not sure if this photo is good enough to go on, but it shows the historic first occasion of Paul from Yakult playing pool at the agency. Given that he commented on our site about 4 months ago that we never invited him to play (see Yakult in the clients section of our main site here), it probably should have happened before now, but we’ve obviously just been too busy. I beat him in a close game, a game I’m sure he would have won if he’d been playing with account management, but it was good tempered and he’s keen for a re-match.
