Sounds like an interesting life. Are you based in London. Your page doesn't mention where you are.

I used to play the triangle in the Salvation Army Band. Which instrument do you play? smiley - bigeyes

Jimi X

Hello from a redundant American newspaper man! After nearly a decade in the newspaper business (finally editor of two small weeklies in Pennsylvania) my "family-owned paper was sold to a chain. Having seen the other papers they put out, I quickly fled as being made redunand sucks with a baby on the way (my wife, not me)! Long sotry short, I got a public relations job with the local school consortium and now put in fewer hours, with fewer stress-filled moments, for the same pay and better benefits! All things happen for a reason, and by the looks of things, your redundancy seems to have occurred so a bunch of H2G2 heads can get free drinks!
Good luck!!

We just might be able so sample that. Turn it into a real 'H2G2 Official Soundbite Yes You Heard It Right This Is Our Tune' kind of thing, we might even be famous..or get arrested smiley - bigeyes

If I seem missing for the next couple of days do not despair ! Just going to Lowlands...Any of you know what that is ?

Didn't think so, it's about the second largest rockfestival in Europe and definitely the best(theather, bars, cinema's, 80 bands, etcetera).

Tell you about it when I get back,

ByeNow,

TM.
