Diary: Water-cooler monitor

WHAT TOPICS HAVE THE INDUSTRY BEEN DISCUSSING THIS WEEK?
THE TALK TIME SPENT
Fred and Farid. Now you see them, now you don't. 21 mins 19 secs
Will those two boys ever settle down?

Karren Brady. Birmingham City fans are downcast 1 hr 29 mins
after The Sunday Times scoop that their much-loved
managing director is in talks with GCap about joining
Capital Radio. She's got the profile for the job, but
has she got the business nous to stage a turnaround?

Advertising Agency of the Year. Yep, it's that time 47 mins 28 secs
already and shops across London are wondering if they
are in the running. Early signs suggest there will be
nothing short about the shortlist.

Stephen Woodford. When is WCRS going to release 52 mins 8 secs
him so he can join DDB and get on with the BIG job
that needs doing over there?
