I met famous Amy!

Yesterday was my last day at Mustardhouse and on Monday I start a new job with Campbell Shaw. At lunchtime we went down the pub and had a beer. I was given a large box of Cadbury’s “Heros” along with a bottle of Champagne. I think they were trying to tell me that I should celebrate leaving rather than they were celebrating that I had left!

I have a couple of issues with the “Big Conversation”:

1. It’s a complete waste of time. Tony Blair doesn’t listen to his backbenchers or his party conference… there’s no way he’ll listen to the rest of us.

2. It’s been stated that the results will be used for Labour’s manifesto for the next election. In that case, does this mean that Labour is paying for this “Big Conversation” or is the tax payer?

In the tech field this time!

Lindows is a competitor to Microsoft Windows and the CEO writes an infrequent blog. Today’s entry shows the pressure that MS is putting on Lindows resellers. The most interesting thing is that the boss is prepared to fly from the US to the meeting in The Netherlands to be with the reseller. That’s good support!

Off to Blackpool to meet up with some Britlore friends. Jon’s staying with Jen and Tim and so is estatic at the idea of seeing Leah and Jack again!

Whilst channel hopping last night, Georgina came across the documentary about Michael Jackson that was put out after the Bashir one to show what a scroat Bashir was. I really don’t have an opinion on whether Jackson is guilty of the new charges against him at the moment as we haven’t heard any of the evidence. Presumably we’ll hear much much more when it comes to trial.

The documentary was reasonably pro-Jackson, even though they spent a lot of time assuring us that he had no editorial control. The main thing I got from it was that he thinks and behaves very naively and really should employ someone prepared to tell him “that’s not a good idea” (and listen when he is told that!). Another thing that came out is how mad his fans are. Jackson goes out and is immediately mobbed – it must be very trying.
