Open book

At the London book fair and within 20 mintues had a sneaking feeling it wasn't for me... Deal makers and breakers abound, half of whom are Indian suppliers promising the same job in half the time at half the price - I know from experience that's only half true.

Still, it's nice being out of the office...as they say.

Masters Playoff

Just an amendment to the previous post...a known golfer, Angel Cabrara won a three way masters playoff, in great style - though for some reason lineker and co presenter are presenting the woes of the other guy, rather than congratulating Angel. Typical. Anyway, well done the Argentian!

Who dares wins

Watching The Master's golf final round...tiger and mickelson were the stars of the show for the first 9 holes but then progressively ran out of steam. The guy leading from the start of the day will probably win, though nobody knows his name, but the masters is often like that. Good stuff anyway.

Just read David Mitchells guardian column rant via his tweet about some politician jumping on a tabloid bandwagon to get Jonathan Ross and Russell brand to pay a BBC fine. An intelligent peice that rather cleverly points out four issues with this idea and rants beautifully about the usual political BS that they spout to claim a few easy points in the so-called balanced media. Does anyone beleive them apart from the awful people who frequent the daily mail? Probably not.

And speaking of rants...my own rant on the Gibson Dark Fire guitar was published in May's edition of Guitarist magazine. It's firm, but fair I think - I posted it on a previous blog just in case the fine editors of Guitarist didn't see fit to publish my viterol. Thankfully it fit right into their Readers Rant section! Enjoy. The rant I mean, not the guitar...the guitar is plain awful.

Good night and good luck.
