ShortHouse Records HQ

Well, here we all are, loins girded. Assembled before me is a crack team of posters and packers, poised like Serengeti cheetahs waiting for the first stray Wildebeest to stick his head out from behind the water cooler.

All hands are on the ShortHouse deck. There's Maureen from accounts, Beryl the tea lady, Norman the doorman, Gina the cleaner and Edwin from personal grooming, all puckered up and ready for those first orders to come in.

Five days to go and counting.

Stop the press . . . Just watching telly. "Wouldn't it be good" is on Extras (Excellent UK comedy series) . . . with Robert De Niro . . . ROBERT DE NIRO! . . . GOAL!!!

Marvelous!

I'm off to sit on a cliff.
