The fire drill

So according to gay best friend, who works in an office next door to the Guardian, their fire alarms went off this morning, resulting in (and I quote) “200-odd fit young intellectuals milling about outside – all of them totally hot. Best coffee break I’ve had in ages”.

So a) can I have a job please, and b) was it the brilliance of this blog that set the Guardian on fire?

There must be 2 guardian offices then. the majority of the people I’ve met there are right munters. Lovely people, obviously, but munters all the same.

Glastonbury reprise

Nearly six hours on the phone, at least four sulks and several desperate pleas later – I have two tickets for Glastonbury 2007. I’d like to thank the Guardian’s sturdy web connection for muscling me through to the See Tickets site for a last-minute coach’n'festival bundle. I am £300 lighter.

No journo blagging here – just good old fashioned determination. See you in the Green Fields near the candle-powered boats. No sign of them just yet…

Viral video

I was one of the judges at Channel 4′s Germ viral video awards today. This one stood out, mostly because it’s someone doing something entertaining. Ad agencies take note: slapping a TV ad on the web does not mean you are “doing a viral”. Viral is a verb, not a noun.

Glastonbury

Yes, I have just spent two hours fifty minutes pressing redial on my phone and refresh on my browser to get Glastonbury tickets.

No, I didn’t get through.

And yes, I’m really pissed off.

On one hand, it’s good news for everyone that is going because it pretty much guarantees the weather will be superb. Six of the eight Glastonburys I’ve been to have been mud festivals.

On the other hand, I’m not giving up yet. Anyone with any bright ideas on how I can get in will gets to hear my festival performance idea with the working title “The Un-Brazilianed Brazilians”.
