Our mission statement...
I think we need to hit the ground running, keep our eye on the ball, and make sure that we are singing off the same hymn sheet. At the end of the day it is not a level playing field and the goal posts may move; if they do, someone else may have to pick the ball up and run with it. We therefore must have a golf bag of options hot-to-trot from the word 'go'. It is your train set but we cannot afford to leave it on the back burner; we've got a lot of irons in the fire, right now. We will need to unstick a few potential poo traps but it all depends on the flash-to-bang time and fudge factor allowed. Things may end up slipping to the left and, if they do, we will need to run a tight ship. I don't want to re-invent the wheel but we must get right down in the weeds on this one. If push comes to shove, we may have to up stumps and then we'll be in a whole new ball game. I suggest we test the water with a few warmers in the bank. If AFHQ can produce the goods then we are cooking with gas. If not, then we are in a world of hurt. I don't want to die in a ditch over it but we could easily end up in a flat spin if people start getting twitchy. To that end, I want to get round the bazaars and make sure the movers and shakers are on side from day one. If you can hit me with your shopping list I can take it to the head honchos and start the ball rolling. If it goes pear-shaped, it is no good throwing our toys out of the pram or our teddy in the corner. Instead we may have to fine-tune it in order to do a re-gain. We'll be hung out to dry if it becomes a showstopper. There is light at the end of the tunnel and I think we have backed a winner here. If it all gets blown out of the water. however, I will be throwing a track. So get your feet in to my in-tray and give me chapter and verse as to how you see things panning out. As long as our ducks are in a row, I think the ball will stay in play and we can come up smelling of roses. Before you bomb burst and throw smoke, it is imperative, that we play with a straight bat this time around. We need to nail our colours very firmly to the mast and look at the big picture. We've got to march to the beat of the drum. We are on a sticky wicket. I've been on permanent send for long enough and I've had my two cents worth. I don't want to rock the boat or teach anyone to suck eggs. We must keep this very firmly in our sight picture or it could fall between the cracks. I don't want to be seen to be re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic but if the cap fits, wear it. At the end of the day, it's like a big game of Space Invaders; the aliens are getting closer and if we don't zap them it'll be game over for the lot of us. There are a number of wolves close to the sledge, and alligators close to the canoe, which need to be shot. As you are aware, it's a bit like punching a cloud round here. The heads of shed often play fast and loose, so it's stand by to repel boarders, I'm afraid. Right! Unless anyone wants to flag-up any bullet points I'll be in my office. My door is always open and I'm as flexible as a palm tree in a hurricane. The ball is in your court; don't let the wheel come off. If it unravels, your arse is grass and I'm a lawn-mower.

» Best and worst TV ads
Dunno what it is with the gingers...
...but the redhead in the white dress in the magnet kitchen ad, and her spiritual predecessor, AOL's Connie have each been enough to send me into a masturbatory frenzy with every viewing...
Worrying is that there's 10 years between those ads, and I wasn't even inexperienced with 'the pleasures of the palm' when Connie was adding fuel to my fire... Perhaps I need to have a little lie down now...?!?

It’s going to come back to haunt me…
Lying in the arms of a newly acquired (via the sadly defunct “casual relationships” section of gumtree) lady friend, our nocturnal athletics had been soundtracked by the popular beat combo of the day, the nu-folk outfit Mumford & Sons. Pleasant enough background music, but generally I prefer things a little rockier. Also, the whole nu-folk thing is a bit twee, and quite popular at the moment (cf. Florence and the Machine, Laura Marling etc); so worthy of distrust in my continuing campaign against being trendy.
However, I managed to suppress this, and hoped the relationship would turn from “casual” to serious (proper boyfriend/ girlfriend stuff) – in hindsight, I really fell for this girl.
Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t work out; and I have a sneaking suspicion that those acoustic guitar and banjo wielding bastards are going to make it big, reopening that wound to rub salt into it, every time a song of theirs is played on the radio…
Apologies for the lack of funnies – she dumped me, and I’m still slightly bitter!
