I was reminded by Barry not to forget the photo; so in keeping with the 1981 theme on 5 Live this morning I thought you'd all enjoy a circa 1984 version of me. Thank God there were no camera phones in those days and only a few closely guarded records of my exploits remain.
1981 was of course the last big Royal Wedding and if there's any fluffed lines this time they'll never hear the end of it with YouTube et al. We all know the horror that can be The Wedding Video! Scott has yet to watch his and is banned from Friday viewing unless it gets an airing first. Sounds like Scott will be doing the housework on Friday...
Talking of housework: we are all tasked with an office spring clean in the next few weeks with Shred-it coming in on the 17th May to take care of all our confidential clutter. I see Barry has got the jump on us over the holiday weekend so he can dictate the clear-desk policy with a clear conscience (for once). He even claims to have given the hen house a deep clean on Saturday.
As always Barry has big plans even for this reduced working week:
Tomorrow he's meeting Alva Brangam QC to pick his brains on mediation in NI. He's also meeting Melanie Donnelly from Full Circle too. On Thursday he's back in the office with internal meetings and on Friday he's off to Dublin to meet Gerry Rooney of Baker Tilly and John Hogan of Lemans Solicitors. Obviously he'll be watching the big event on his i-phone? For the long weekend he's off to Moscow (as you do) to stay with some friends. Now they do May day in style!
The rest of us who are here this week will be trying to catch up on paperwork with the brief hiatus in conference work. Quick, better go, I think I hear the paper police coming!
Enjoy the holiday - however long you get.
James
