GET IN!!!

Who is the person that works out that it will cost the economy one billion pounds in missed work hours because of today's England game? Did they sit down with a calculator wearing a nightgown in the dim light of a candle and really come up with that figure? Is it the same person who calculates that it costs 200 grand to bring up a child? That person deeply worries me.

I'm reading "Riddley Walker" by Russell Hoban. - just incredible. Never heard of the writer or the book until it was recommended to me a few days ago. It's very hard to stumble on something fantastic anymore without it being recommended by someone first... It's a shame that we rarely trust our instincts and pick things up for the hell of it. I suppose because so often the result is disappointing. Maybe that's why I never sold too many records.

I'm working on a pitch for a show I'm working on - and have just written this...  - putting budget together for a 23 min pilot, breaking down into 5 x 4 min chapters and celebrity artist interview for new Virgin cross-media multi-platform event, with possible follow-on tv pick-up... - Which makes me sound like a complete tosser. How did that happen? Play Cole, Gerard to the side serving Rooney, James in the sticks. 3 nil half time.

GET IN!!!
