Just goes to show that talking absolute bollocks pays off, as they called me this afternoon, said I blew them away, they'd actually like to create a special role for me and offered it to me! I was amazed, really thought I'd fucked it. Gonna get a kebab in the rain to celebrate!

If you have HBO Max, they have an absolute ton of classic stand up on there. Currently watching my favourite show ever, Chris Rock Bigger and Blacker. "That ain't Pocahontas, that's Jennifer Lopez!" When I was about 15 I taped it off Channel 4, and had it on a VHS with Jerry Seinfeld I'm Telling You For The Last Time (off BBC2) and absolutely rinsed it for years. I think that tape shaped my comedy tastes more than anything.

On a similar note, are there many more minor annoyances than hand dryers in a public bog that don't work?

For my final meal, I think I'd just ask for 400 packs of Brets crisps.

Can I shock you? I quite like edits.

This is the most Alan Partridge thread name we've ever had.

Spurs fans would separate Daniel Levy and ENIC, and hate both despite Daniel Levy working for ENIC. I mean it's marginally been different since he left, but no one will ever convince me that Levy was sitting there making the decisions while the Lewis family didn't know what was going on, its their money! Before that we hated Alan Sugar, and before that we hated Irving Scholar. It's a positive club.

I did actually get an interview for this role, one that I absolutely loved the sound of, and had it today, and I came out of it feeling really disappointed. I felt I came across really well in what I said about me personally and my experience, but I massively waffled during my actual answers and feel gutted. There were 3x of them and they were typing as I spoke, which is normal, but I got the feeling towards the end that they were actually messaging each other and that deflated me. They also kept looking out the window at colleagues walking past and gesturing to them or smiling etc and that really distracted me. And it pissed it down while I walked from the station there and turned up looking like a drowned rat, which I did acknowledge and play to my advantage. Oh well.

They probably won't as they have 400 million players but Chelsea should really regret letting him slip away, looks a superb talent. We have one in Luca Williams-Barnett that if we fuck up (we will) I'm taking Chirpy hostage and dangling him off the skywalk.

I love Indian food but I've never got on with paneer and it makes me a bit sad. Also if you visit Southall, you can also easily visit the greatest place in the world, Hounslow

The only podcast I watch is the It's Always Sunny one, as I get so much more out of it that way, but then 90% of the joy I get from it is the facial expressions of Glenn Howerton. Having said that, it's only the first few that were audio only, and I think they always had it in their mind for it to be a video podcast so that helps, as there isn't a massive catalogue behind it. My favourite thing in the world is the World Football Phone In and I can't think of anything worse than watching it. Not every podcast needs to be a video, but then not every podcast should exist to be honest

This is the crux, and there is no way they will sign off on a month's work at that level/salary, so if they want you to do it, then they'll have to offer a secondment (which they won't) or a promotion. Or find someone at that level to actually do the work (I'm sure you're more than capable by the way) It's quite mental that organisations expect you to do this type of thing all the time. In a crude analogy, which may not work, its like asking someone who's line prep in a kitchen to be a sous chef for a month. It's pathetic. Solidarity with you brother.
