If you’re here becasue you’ve received an invite for breakfast and are checking if I really exist – then here’s a graph just for you. It follows a meal I had in a supposedly marvellous restaurant in central London …

I read through a proposal yesterday and was totally blown away. It looked, smelled and, I’m sure, would have tasted lovely. Everything was on brand and I could see it was oozing success. This morning I re-read the proposal and you know what? There’s almost no substance. In those 15 pages, nothing had been committed to and nothing actually said – never has so little looked so damned nice! Of course, this says very little about my own rigour – was I really like a six year old in front of a fruit machine yesterday? I don’t know.

If you’re at work there’s one sat near you now. Someone who loves to spoil the ending of a film you’ve yet to see. Here’s a tip. That person, the one who’s likely to spoil an ending is either: overpromoted and not bright enough to be doing the job they’re in, feeling like they’ve been passed over for promotion. Eiither way, they have something to prove – and they use the information they’ve gained by watching a movie as a power play. Never trust them – with information, sweets or your email passwords. If they can spoil the end of a film, they will think of nothing at wrecking your career. You’ve been warned.

I am so truly incredulous that the body set up to stop MP’s stealing money via expenses is going to cost six times more than the money the MPs were stealing in the first place, that I can’t even put pen to paper.

I’ve had to transfer my mind elsewhere – into the world of music – to stop me thinking of it. £6.5 million per year, every single year, to stop MP’s wetting their beaks. See I can’t do it …
