Bring Your Slaughter To Work
Last week, via e-mail, I got an offer I couldn't refuse. A reporter called Laura Scarrot told me about a new feature she was launching in the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s in-house newspaper Ariel. It's called Whatever Gets You Through The Week and members of staff are asked to list five things that, well, get them through the week.
As regular blog readers will be aware, I always think long and hard before agreeing to any form of self-publicity so it took me a good three or four minutes before I replied to Laura's e-mail with my list.
I had mentioned the view from my house in Inverness, my current addiction to mangoes and my habit of watching box-set DVDs on return train journeys from Glasgow. I went on to describe how such intensive viewing can result in irrational behaviour and that I had recently watched every episode of The Sopranos and was now behaving like a mob boss in editorial meetings.
Those funsters at Ariel couldn't resist mocking up a photograph with Yours Truly as the head of the New Jersey "family".
If I had a bigger version I would frame it, hang it on my office wall and dare producers not to deliver on their programme promises.
That's not personal, it's just business.
