When Patrick Kidd of the Times’s Line and Length blog gives you a shout out you know you’ve arrived. April 15th 2009, a day to remember. I became a small, particle of dust small, footnote in cricket history. The history claim over eggs things a bit but who cares?
Also I hope nobody thinks I’m a tv producer (if you’ve read Patrick’s post; I bigged ma’self up a bit when we met) because that’s a credit and title you won’t find on IMDB. I did slave away for a few years developing documentaries- history and current affairs. It was for a time the best job in the world. I was paid to write up or come up with programme ideas that would never get made. Yes I was a modern day Sisyphus but unlike Sisyphus I enjoyed my gig- at times; e.g when I wasn’t being sacked twice in the same day by a ranting, screaming, ballistic boss who’s now at the top of TV’s greasy pole. He gave me the job back on the same day as well. Creatives hey!! ”You’re sacked, no you’re not. You’re sacked, get out, get out, no you’re not sacked.” Of course you get this on the ‘Apprentice’ now.
