Another day, another Euro

Chris and Paul. And that's so not Fanta.

Vicky Trehaeven from FNB. As it turns out, she's totally a cat person.

Lucky Lion.

The great thinker. And some sculpturey thing.

Crossing the streets of Cannes is a contact sport. Pedestrian crossings just give the French drivers somewhere to aim.

The beautiful St Paul de Vence, so much better than Montecasino.

Some French singer guy at St Paul. Not so beautiful.

The guys from Network after having taken the
Grand Prix for Outdoor on Tuesday night. 2 in a row for SA, damn fine.

Atop the iron horse in St Paul.

Lion in St Paul.

In the gutter outside the Gutter Bar.

Goldfish playing at last night's Shots party. Delish.

style in St Paul de Vence with distinguished company.

Advertising is damn hard work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Okay?

Lion, meet Charles, big bossman of CAB Films in Cape Town.

Behold the 3 wise men: Tony Granger, Marcello Serpa, Erik Vervroegen.

Would've thrown knickers at the stage but think they would've thrown them back.

Crap photo, great partay.

Ha ha! Lion finds a gold friend after Matt and Adam

rocked the radio category with an Axe spot.

Lucky Lion.

Lion finds another friend, Charlie. We like Charlie even though he likes soccer.

The Rue something or other, which we have to walk up to catch le bus.

Nicolas hard at work yesterday on the Young Creatives brief. They worked in this big enclosed glass area. We made rude gestures at them but they ignored us.

Cannes, sweet Cannes

Are we almost there, Leon?

Nice Ville station after a rather hairy experience with immigration at Charles De Gaulle.

Eduardo and Nicolas from JWT Venezuela.

They won Young Creatives in their country and are here to compete with other teams from around the world. In fact, right at this moment they're working on the brief to present at 6 this evening. Good luck, new friends.

Little Lion, big lion.

It's a sign.

Says who?

World famous South African director, Miles Goodall, looking for a TV Lion.

Adam and Matthew have their way with Lion to pass the time while waiting to hear if any of their 15 Cannes finalists will convert to metal. Guess this will have to do for now, guys.

What a way to kick off the week - our CDs, Ashley Bacon and Rob McLennan, last night with the Gold Lion (not quite Lion but it'll do) Vidette and Lauren scored for FCB Johannesburg for Raid 'Eviction' Direct.

Right. All set, then.
