If you ring into either MRM or Hive offices any time before 3pm please forgive any general wooliness or confusion. The reason? We’re still recovering from what has to be the best MRM and Hive varsity celebration ever yesterday. Hosted at The Ailsa Tavern, just down the road from Twickenham – there were 35 of us sneaking pegs of each other, checking which hand we were drinking with and having a good old chinwag over an awful lot of drinks.

I checked the bar bill this morning and was quite surprised to see that we’d drunk our way through 104 chilli sambucas alone last night-  that now explains why we’re feeling a little sore in the head and hoarse I guess…

Thanks to our various guests from British Gas, IPC Media, Wax Communications, Hive, Crayon London, Heinz, Net Initiative (who flew down for the game, such is their commitment), Colgate, Kimberly Clark, Bausch & Lomb, BSH Appliances, the Institute of Promotional Marketing and all the other clients that took the time to spend the day and evening with us.

From the various emails we’ve already received today, we understand you all to have got home safely – in various states.

On behalf of everyone at MRM we’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you soon.
