Usually this just involves me writing 30 seconds worth…
Trying to get a firm delivery date for my new monitor from City Link. They can’t find the number on the phone even thought their website can

I may have to have words with the man pounding away at the concrete outside my window with a VERY LOUD drill. Bang, Bang, Bangety Bang!!!!
Here is the colonies song if you REALLY are bored for 56 seconds. http://beebmo.co.uk/dl/colonies_song.mp3
I don’t think we’ll end up using the musical trailer.
Writing music for a clash of the colonies trailer sung between Aussie and Canadian BBC Jersey employees.
My wife wants me to make her a card for her birthday. Do I go analogue with pens and card or all out digital and create an interactive DVD?
Is it REALLY Monday morning all over again?

So the question is…. what’s next?
I’ve just realised the value of facebook. It stops people sending me crap by e-mail - it all gets dumped there instead making it ignorable.
Apparently I’ve written and submitted 78 140 char tweets in the 18 months or so I’ve been here - 78 out of 1093 http://bit.ly/12SX4V #tcloud

I want to read a comment out on my show but it isn’t live. Anyone got anything interesting to say about new music?
Crap - just finished recording and am going to be a minute short of my 45 minutes - I guess I could fit in another trailer.
Later in the show Sugar Blue talks more about the harmonica and how its play as well as playing something live for us.
Recording my show again. Just played The Author and The Valentines and am now playing an interview with Bluesman Sugar Blue
I love my job - just listening to a recording of a live performance (in this very studio) of Sugar Blues - the harmonica is a glorious i …
Should I stand up and record my show or is it ok to sit down? The desks are built around being seated but can handle standing operation.

iPlayer pick: Third Reich and Roll →
It was something of a tough call for me when thinking up an iPlayer pick for today - mainly because I couldn’t decide between Stephen Fry and David Mitchell.

I’ve resisted posting every snippet of information that has come out of the Red Dwarf team at Dave - but this one was too good to not talk about.
You already know that the…
Instead of getting guitar hero for my kids I’m going to get them both a guitar and teach them to play. They can learn a few songs for real.
