I've just realised, sending the first batch of CDs off today, that there are two songs with 'Devil' in the title and loads of Spanish-sounding names amongst the artistes. No underlying message, really. None. I swear. It's just good music.

I'm insanely busy at work, I hear about the magnitude of my insisted pay rise today, I feel as though I'd be doing better today if I'd been out in the pub 'til 11pm last night, I have lots of interlocked grey bits of fuzzy felt lining the inside of my skull, my backpack is off to the wilds of India while I stay in Hatfield, and for some reason I keep getting wrong numbers on my mobile from people asking for Alan.
Just what the hell is going on here?
I too am having a muh.
And a colleague in another office has walked off with my speakers so I can't even put 6music on. Bar stewards.
Ah, yeah, that's my fault. I discovered your mobile number and told the world it was mine. No ... wait ... I just made that up.
11% har har har.
Ah-harrr.
Harr harrr harrrrrrrrrrr.
Can we get a blog from Alan please?
I hope that 11%'s your pay rise...
...deeply envious though it makes me, it's just nice to feel happy for someone else. For my part, I'm waiting for the AUT to stop playing kindergarten "but they want to negotiate locally" economics - what, you mean that the same salary might not be appropriate in London as in Dumfries? My god, someone needs to tell busine...ah, hang on.
B*******. Still worse, if there's no agreement by the end of March, it's rumoured we don't get the back pay from last September.
Er, rant over. Well done, anyway, which was the point, and here's hoping. Otherwise HE will lose me and anyone I can take with me (so just me, then).
Hmm, Adrian, I find http://alanskerret.uk.eu.org to quite a good blog by someone called Alan.
Sarcky bugger.
Yes it's my pay rise, but as ever maths comes into play, and big as 11% sounds, it is 11% of notverymuch, but hey, it's an improvement...
Eleven percent! Toowit toowoo! Good on ya.
