If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!A very Christmasy day. Cleared the admin bits first thing, then retreated to the lounge with Christmas cookies, coffee and presents to wrap. Switched on the digital radio and flicked between Life and Core for the next three hours. […]

Thursday. Always an exciting day, but this week doubly so. It was kind of my first day of holiday but also my last day of work this year, and it was one of the most fun shows since the first ever edition of The Lab.
It started early, as every Thursday does, with the breakfast show […]

Christmas arrived on my desk today with a very heavy thud. A big Marks and Spencer hamper from Hi-Grade, After Shock from Adobe and a very large David Bailey photo book from Lexmark. That’s obviously what happens when you say it’s a quiet year for PR presents. I had to split the hamper up and […]

A very exciting email left me with a bit of a dilemma this morning. There was a site offering

You can tell it’s Christmas week. Well, as far as work is concerned, anyway. The presents have started to arrive. A crate of beer from Videologic, champagne or hampers for most of the team from Mesh, and from Kyocera a picture of me, printed out using a fairly stripey printer. I think it could do […]

I did scrambled egg sandwiches for brunch, finished off the paper chains I was making yesterday evening and then headed into town with Paul. It was mid-afternoon by then, so quite […]

Today was going to be my last day at work this year. It’s not happened, though. I’m so close, but reckon I have at least three more days to go, so should be finished by Wednesday. That’s bearable. Went out and did some last bits of Christmas shopping at lunchtime, so at least I can […]

Last night was Epson’s Christmas party at Jongleurs in Bow (or jAnglers as our taxi driver called). I’d never been before so didn’t realise I actually went past it every day on the train. I was a but unsure what to expect. Everyone likes comedy, but I’ve never been all that keen on The Standup […]

So there I was, killing time before my meeting by browsing the books in WHSmith when my phone beeps. I assumed it was someone from work, so I got it out and read the message only to find it was my first ever piece of SMS spam. In this instance from Yo Sushi: ‘YO! nik […]
