F E AT U R E Tanks, but no tanks! JACK REGAN, A CREATIVE AT TITAN. THE ADVERTISING AGENCY IN BIRMINGHAM, TAKES A MORE ADRENALINE-FUELLED APPROACH TO LIFE. THIS MONTH’S HE’S DOING BATTLE... WITH A TANK Good God Almighty, but this is all a bit too far above and beyond the call of duty, for a chap of my vintage, is it not?! No, no, no this is just not cricket at all. I'm driving a fifteen ton tank, for crying out loud! Yes, A TANK! Gone a bit mutton jeff, here, sorry! SORRY, VICAR, IT'S THIS INFERNAL BLOODY RACKET! Flat out, pedal to the metal, bouncing about like a pinball inside this growling, hulking behemoth, the sweat cascading out of me and some war-torn, 'Nam fixated commander type nutter shouting and bawling directions at me down my headphones while two lily-livered pansies behind me are whimpering into their comfort blankets about the quality of my driving, fcs! The fumes in here are potent enough to KO Zammo McGuire offa Grange Hill and, to top it all off, there's some sniggering posh boy careening, spiral-eyed right behind us in another tank, trying to bazooka us all to oblivion or beyond! This is a blitzkrieg to the senses like few experiences one could ever dare imagine. And it's just so aggressively deafening and effin' and jeffin' LOUD in here too. And everything's too smotheringly, overbearingly close around you. It's... actually it's a bit like being trapped inside a drunken American, is what it is. Sweet, I suppose, if that American's called Kardashian but not if it's called Sherman! No siree! But I'm trying to chill. I am! I'm trying to focus here. Just bare with me here for a tick ‘til I, y'know, ‘til I sort myself out a tad. It's all a bit frantic this armoured vehicle lark, isn't it? All a bit frenetic and discombobulating when you're used to driving a clapped out Prius, like me. Sure, yes, it had all sounded like good clean fun when the column was suggested too. All very sedate and Dad's Army and all that. The tanks are from the Seventies, so I reckoned there'd be more chance of the steering wheel falling off than of one of these things ever working up a decent head of steam again. Now I have a heavily bruised coccyx to prove just how wrong I was about that. And, yes, that's every bit as painful as it sounds, thank you very much. Matter 56
