Vine has fond memories of Mark Ingrouille from his stint in Hong

Kong with D'Arcy, particularly that seminal moment at a cocktail party

when someone made the observation that all he needed was a lightbulb in

his mouth and he'd be the spitting image of Uncle Fester from the TV

series The Addams Family.



Then of course, there was the wonderful entry he sent into the Miss

MEDIA competition three years ago, with a photo of a poutingly gorgeous

candidate ... and him, hovering in the background with a definite air of

menace.



Mark is now back in Thailand, this time with McCann-Erickson, and Vine

received an unsigned contribution with the above photo.



The caption included with the photo reads as follows:



"McCann Thailand recently won five new pitches, so decided to

party!!



Unfortunately, some ugly farang also got into the act."
