    Could be a Brittas promotion?
    Dude, you're a shoe-in.

Time for a strategic left turn methinks.

    Interview yesterday, likely start in New Year, but another bastard commute

    Today was meant to be my first on-the-bench-day-without-kids, which it is, but I've caught their illnesses. This is not working out as planned.

    I thought there was just petition from the people in the US to stop him going which had more signatures than the one from the UK trying to send him?
