RE: Corus Video
Hi David,
There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is, Sherice has agreed to give me a sub so I can afford the Burma trip without having to borrow any more money off Lozza. Fucking Top Trumps!
The slightly less good news is, Neil came in this morning and he wasn't really keen on the reversioning of the video. Me and Cathy tried to rehash it with a kind of French art house vibe - "Le parkour nu, par Corus" - but the bit where Pete throws up all over his own cock just jarred a little bit with the feel we were going for. I think Neil's actual words were "I'm not paying you cunty bunch of cockwads sixty grand for this crock of jizz". He also said - and this is a fair point - that it has nothing to do with steel, which is literally all they make. Oh and apparently the company changed its name to 'Tata Steel' about a year and a half ago, so the original footage we shot of the African kid spraying 'Corus' over that Banksy mural would have been useless anyway.
Basically, the situation is, I'm literally going on holiday on Friday, so we need to get an ideas hard-on for Quemley to swallow pretty quick, or they're going to get ThinkFist Digital to do the film instead.
