Apologies for lack of bloggage recently, usual excuse.
However, for those in the Plymouth area (I know this somewhat limits the relevance), you might like to know I got a call from Radio Devon at lunchtime asking if I'd be willing to go on the Gordon Sparks breakfast show, talking about what it's like being A Pilgrim Abroad (Becky's suggested re-title for this blog which I still haven't got around to sorting out). I said 'that's a bit bleddy early' but I suppose fame has its costs. Must be a slow news day over there.
So anyway, it's not (as far as I know) available for 'listen again' on the internet because Sparksy's show is the Plymouth opt-out rather than the main Radio Devon stream, which is the one carried online. Therefore it's a case of blink and you'll miss it, and indeed I was on around 7.30am for a few minutes (I write this just after being on), discussing things ranging from Argyle's hopeless season (the highlight being the Barnsley match where it was abandoned with Argyle 4-1 down, and had to be replayed from the start) to the Indianapolis Colts and Kokomo's gas tower (I guess Sparksy had been reading up on the place). Didn't manage to get a word in for Allie's books (sorry sis), but in case you missed it, she's up for the Melissa Nathan Award for Comedy Romance for her first book.
In other news, the new Doctor Who is excellent (except for the Daleks episode), 4Store is to start handling reasoning to some extent, Pompey still haven't been wound up, we're no closer to finding a name for the baby girl due in August, the local health food store in Kokomo have started stocking Traderspoint milk (meaning you can now buy unhomogenized milk in Kokomo), I've damaged my achilles tendon so no Indy half-marathon for me this weekend (boo) and it's time to make more bacon and sausages, as I've finished off the last lot and barbecue season approaches.
Bacon on a barbecue? Yes. Best way to cook it. High up, nice and slow. Fan-blooming-tastic.

I've just looked... and the Breakfast Show is on BBC iPlayer!
Or maybe it isn't as the Presenter is right but the time is wrong!
There was me getting all excited...
Yeah, it seems they have him do the 5am-6am slot countywide, then Matt Woodley takes over for Good Morning Devon, while Sparksy continues on the Plymouth transmitters only. And the website just does their main link. Ah well... I doubt I'll be saying anything much worthwhile!
See if you can make the presenter say 'comfy chairs'
Sorry Rob, I failed in that task... in my defence, it was 2.30 in the morning and I was pretty tired.
So, what you're saying is that I am responsible for you being on the radio ... cool :-)
(And all the election stuff you've been writing is pretty interesting too.)
By the way, when a club says they're not about to go into administration, doesn't that mean they're about to go into administration?
