I hope that it does make The Friday Project huge amounts of money, because everyone who works there is lovely* and they deserve good stuff happening to them.

Proof, perhaps, that a Creative Commons release will only sell more books?

*With the exception of Pond, who is wicked.**

**Wicked as in Evil, not in the 'street word for good' way.

Busy, busy, busy.

Midweek was fun, the presenter was lovely, Sargy Mann is a real gent, Rupert Everett is lovely and Sissel has some really interesting ideas. Everyone was really nice to me who, lets face it, is a jumped up taxi driver who basically lucked out.

After Midweek I got home and was immediately phoned to do an interview on BBC World service on the basis of the Midweek interview. So back into a car which was driven by a driver who didn't seem to know the route.

The World Service interview will be on Outlook on Friday (at varying times in varying time zones - link to follow). Tomorrow I'm having my photo taken again for Weekly News.

I managed to get home around half past six and was busy for reasons that I shall divulge next Friday...

Back to work tomorrow, blogging will be up after 7pm I'm afraid unless I get a chance to scribble something during work.

Tomorrow I shall be a guest on the Radio 4 show 'Midweek', this is broadcast at 9am and repeated at 9:30pm. Also appearing will be the actor Rupert Everett, Sissel Tolaas an artist who works with smell, and the blind painter Sargy Mann.

My PR and organisational genius Rachael is really happy about me being invited to the show.

Oh, and it looks like she was right, women's magazines only want books which are written by pretty young female authors - and I have none of those qualities. Oh well, their loss.

Right now I am waiting for my hair to dry so I can get it cut, then I shall be answering all the emails that are sitting in my inbox (being one of the few bloggy people who hasn't read 'Getting Things Done' I am a terrible person for answering my emails). Then later today I shall post an ambulance story.

I'm sure there is something I've forgotten...

For those that are interested, some feedback on how Da Book is doing.

Perhaps vindication of the whole Creative Commons thing?

Here is the clip of me on Sky News.

The reason behind me looking so laid back is that this particular body posture helps me to relax.  All my stress is in my neck and shoulders, so if I sit forward like most people on the telly then I would tend to freeze up.

Not bad for someone with less than four minutes TV experience.

Due to the timespan of getting me on there, it was kind of obvious that no-one had really read the book, which explains the vague questions that were asked of me.

I’m impressed by the presenter, he not only presents but makes production decisions when the video is running and checks his emails.

(He gets the same spam as myself).

And yes…I was wearing makeup.

With the exception of Midweek on Radio Four on the 20th of September, I think that’s the end of the publicity machine.  It’s been a bloody good laugh.

From tomorrow I’m on a training course, sitting in a classroom for a couple of hours is Hell for myself.

But other things are making me happy.

I've been speaking to a young lady today, looks like I'l be on Sky News in the UK this Saturday at around 11am. Live...

I'm thinking of adding a line to my CV, "Will do TV, Radio, Print, Podcasts, or anything else for a bit of attention".

...I'm in The Guardian today, apparently a big piece that I haven't seen yet as I'm still lounging around in bed...
