A sporting chance

Forget Nadal v Federer. Monkey hears of another tennis epic approaching. Music and entertainment PR agency The Outside Organisation's managing director, Penny McDonald, is to take on Tony Blair. Penny outbid fellow diners at an auction at the Labour Party sports dinner to win the top prize of the night, a match with Tony. MC Lord Levy warned her she was up against a formidable opponent. But Monkey thinks the former PM might have a game on his hands - Penny's around six foot tall. And all Outside's staff are well practised at top spin.
