It’s been quite a good couple of days. Wednesday afternoon was interesting. The studio was really nice and they did 6 songs. One of the older hits and then some new stuff. So yeah it was interesting.

Yesterday was the quarterly all hands here. It was again, interesting. Normally these things are really shit, we all have to sit for 4 or 5 hours of presentations and then we get some food and drink. They are generally dreaded and I’ve been known to invent conference calls to get out of them.

This one was very different. It was held in London Weekend Television studios by the river and instead of just people talking and talking, we had hired John Sergeant to present and it was done like a talk show for the afternoon. He’s a funny funny man and it was very entertaining. Easily the best I’d been. We were recording it all aswell so there was a full camera setup, sound and even a director.

A good evening followed with lots of free drinks and yes I have a small headache this morning. In the space of two days I was in a music and a tv studio, neither of which I’d been in before. It does seem to be a week of coincidence.

Friends from Dublin arriving later tonight, off to the Tate in the morning and then whatever they want to do before hopefully joining the V DU wherever the fuck it ends up being.

I’m listening to the Beeb live stream from Russia at the moment. It sounds like the army saw a chance and took it, despite all the insistences that they would not and various bombs have gone off.

What a wonderful fucking world we live in.
