I wondered who’d get there first - thanks, Stuart.
Never been much of a vodka fan, not since one particular episode in Edinburgh several years ago. I guess I’ll have to learn to like it again …
[…] Simon Wakeman has tagged me for the ‘Three Inspirational Communicators’ meme. Which, if nothing else, does at least prove that someone reads this blog. In fact, Simon, wasn’t it you who tagged me for ‘Five Things’ at the end of last year? […]
