DIARY: Shake, rattle and roll for Brett's arrival

<p>These days, it's impossible to miss Patrick Brett's arrival. The </p><p>Saatchi & Saatchi chief operating officer's approach is now heralded by </p><p>something akin to a shake of a mariachi. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Apparently Brett recently underwent surgery to remove 38 (yes, 38!) </p><p>gallstones that he now keeps in a jar, which he happily waves around. At </p><p>other times he keeps the jar on his desk, but is also known to lay the </p><p>stones out on a sheet of paper just to get them out for a bit of fresh </p><p>air."I like to carry the jar around with me and jiggle it at people," he </p><p>said. There's proof that this is more than just a creation of a fertile </p><p>imagination. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Media's own Ken McKenzie recently had the pleasure of personally </p><p>inspecting Brett's gall-stones while having dinner one night in Bangkok. </p><p>Brett blamed the gallstones on too much work and stress. "This is what </p><p>happens when you work too hard for Saatchi's," quipped Brett, who is </p><p>responsible for a huge swatch of Saatchi's real estate, covering </p><p>Southeast Asia and India. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Talking about over-work, the top guys at Reader's Digest have been </p><p>juggling two jobs at the same time.Associate publisher Peter Jeffery and </p><p>his team-mate Anne-Louise McWilliam have been spotted modelling for the </p><p>title. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Is it true that Jeffery was paid in kind - with the weighing scales? </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
