Well as you read this I will be in a day-long meeting with one of Proper Job’s most important clients. The product, about which I really can’t divulge all that much, is a really interesting one. It’s one of those things which may well in some form be essential in about five years time but at the moment is really rather embryonic and still basically on the drawing board. It makes for a very interesting day’s work however, albeit a very argumentative one.
So whilst I am choking on shit sandwiches and bursting with excessive coffee intake, please sit back, relax, gently stroke your mouse and fire in your five frivolous Friday fuckwitticisms. It’s not about being first, funniest or anything like that, just chip in.
Tonight there will be monumental levels of drunkenness for myself and my darling girl Mrs. Toad. We are going to the Bowery to see Rob St.John and Broken Records singe everyone’s eyebrows with all sorts of raucous nonsense. Well, maybe not Rob. But he’ll still be good, I can promise you that – I’ve never sen Rob play live and not been impressed. Broken Records will be different. In a room that small they might just make your ears bleed. I, for a change, will not be reviewing or filming or anything like that. Mrs. Toad and I will be down the front enjoying ourselves and nothing more. We will be drunk, we will be grinning like fools and staggering about like muppets and in general we will be warming up for a splendid weekend. There are still tickets available, should you want to join in, just swing by the City Cafe some time tomorrow.
Now, in case you were intending to be so foolish as to attempt anything productive on a Friday, stop right now. Before you go any further do you love me. Will you love me forever; do you need me? Will you… oops, sorry, that was a Meat Loaf lyric. I’ll stop. Right now. Delurking is required, and the filling in of five of the most frivolous answers you’ve ever produced in your life. Have a good weekend, Toadlings.
1. Best blag you’ve ever pulled off.
2. Most fortuitous ticket.
3. Biggest waste of an expensive ticket purchase.
4. Most unexpected brilliant day.
5. Forced participation which actually turned out okay.

Hello. Sorry for the lack of preparation here, but Homegame rather fucked with my ability to get anything done in an orderly and organised fashion this week.
