Ring ring, ring ring.
Me: (Forgetting to check the number display) Hello
Client: Hi, it's me. How have you been?
Me: Well I...
Client: Really? Wow that's great. Fantastic. Anyway, I've gone into property so I thought, you know, that you could do a garden for a little house I'm buying
Me: Into property...?
Client: All these repossessions. Isn't it great? So what I was thinking was, I'd like something ironic
Me: Ironic...
Client: Yeah, I want to tap into the zeitgeist. Irony is so right, at this moment in time
Me: So a rightgeist then
Client: What?
Me: Nothing
Client: I want you to do something involving we
Me: We?
Client: Yes.
Me: Us?
Client: Well, you mainly
Me: So who's we
Client: I don't know. Anyone's
Me: I think I can hear my...er...cat...
Client: We is really important
Me: (Humour her, humour her) Are we?
Client: No, no, no! We, we, we, we...God, it's not that hard. It's all over the papers at the moment. Did you read that thing in the Mail on Sunday?
Me: No, I don't rea...
Client: Well, you know, it's very current. Very now. You must have heard about we.
Me: We? Oh Wii! Do you mean Wii? You want to include Wii in the design?
Client: Well, yesss. Duh!
Me: Erm...
Client: Lots of it, and nettles and things. You know, sort of post-apocalyptic
Me: I'm not quite sure how...
Client: But the main thing is, are you listening?...it has to be ironic. Obviously ironic, not accidentally ironic, because that's what will sell it
Me: Sell...
Client: It. Yes.
Me: You want to sell the Wii?
Client: Who's going to buy we? It's of no use to anyone is it?
Me: Well, possibly, but I think people quite like them
Client: What's to like? You're not really on top of what's happening out there are you? You really should read the Mail on Sunday you know. Anyway, nettles, weeds, mobile phones, floppy grass, we, that sort of thing, but very stylish and minimalist.
Me: You don't mean we or Wii do you, you mean WEEE
Client: No I don't mean whee! I don't want a playground for God's sake! Look it up. Oh and batteries too, I want lots of batteries but not own brand ones, not Morrisons or Asda or anything, you know chavvish like that. Batteries with pretty colours. Duracell are nice, all that black and gold. Tasteful. I'm really excited about this. When can we start?
