  • Question: does viral marketing sell

    Question: does viral marketing sell more product?

    Whilst you’re thinking about that, you may want to try and figure out how this numbers trick works.

  • Three out of five ordered

    Three out of five ordered items have now arrived for PFE. Dabs, Comet and BT all win credit for prompt delivery, with two printers, some cables and a cordless phone/answering machine between them. Empire Direct should be delivering a fax machine on Friday. Which just leaves Dell. Frankly, all the rest is fairly much useless without Dell’s piece of the jigsaw -and they’ve now put back delivery from 2 June to 5 June. GRRR.

  • Didn’t get home until after

    Didn’t get home until after midnight last night, but it was a good presentation with a receptive (and large) audience. I was so tired on the drive home – I really should have pulled over to take a break, but the thought of getting into bed was quite a motivator for getting home and keeping alert.
    Today: two BBC News articles worth a read for different reasons:

  • Busy busy. Thunderstorm outside. Doesn’t

    Busy busy. Thunderstorm outside. Doesn’t bode well for the weekend (it’s my plant fair at Pashley Manor on Sunday).
    Tonight I have to drive to Harpenden to give a presentation. Oh joy. Should be back home around 12.30. At least I’ll be able to listen to John Peel on the way home.

  • Birthday beers with Greg, Paul

    Birthday beers with Greg, Paul F, Kearn, Arron, Cat, Dave and Claire. Thanks guys – it feels good to spend your birthday with good friends.

    alright then my darlings, some dates for your diaries

    I shall be previewing my Edinburgh Show –

    Lizzie Roper Through My Keyhole

    throughout July and just a tad in June. What I would love you to do though, is to make a note in your diaries of two special dates right now:

    14th July Etcetera Theatre, 8pm
    Oxford Arms Pub, (corner of Camden High St and James Town Rd)
    and
    21st July Etcetera Theatre, 8pm

    Choose which evening you’d like to come and then write it in your diary!!!
    If before then you get a friend ringing you up and asking you out on one of those nights you can then say, "that’s very kind of you, but I have to go and see my friend Lizzie in a show, she’s very talented and roode, perhaps you’d like to join me." and then your friend can come too and see how interesting and important you are!

    I’d like to get a massive crowd of really friendly faces together for my last two previews so I can skip off to Edinburgh with the sound of your laughter in my ears and your handprints on my bottom.

    Through My Keyhole is a filthy excuse for myself to get up on stage, wiggle my arse, talk dirty, be the centre of attention and generally misbehave, its quite fun to watch too! There’ll be a little bit of stand up, a little bit of character work and a lot of cheeky monkey ness, with perhaps a few beautiful moments to make you go AHHHH and love yourself just that little bit harder!

    I’ve already tried out some character bits and its all going jolly well at the moment, so fingers crossed, god willing, baby Jesus on side an all that, everything will turn out lovely…
    lets face it, this is my Bushtucker Trial… probably the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life….
    Please please please come and support me.

    If you have friends who I’ve met but don’t have their emails please forward this on to them and come down together en masse. thanks for all your support.

  • Happy birthday to me. 32

    Happy birthday to me.
    32 years ago today, in the Zachary Merton Maternity Hospital in Rustington, West Sussex, late in the afternoon, a boy was born.
    Meanwhile, in St Tropez and at roughly the same time, Mick Jagger married Bianca Perez Morena de Macias.

    These two events were not related.
