Ego-bruising and cruising

After the psycho-metric wind-up and the kick-in-the-balls no 2nd interview prospect last week my confidence was knocked. The feeling didn't last long as out of the blue another interview invite came up. E-commerce Manager was the job title working for a travel agent specialising in Cruising...the big boat kind aimed at loaded old codgers. Quite weird really as we're moving away from the home of the cruise ships (as well as chavs and Transit vans).

The interview went well spending over 2 hours there. The MD reminded me of my dad and bizarrely never uses the internet or email! Trying to convince him he needs to have a strategy of branding could be a challenge. The other staff were friendly and seemed happy there with no dress code and 9 to 5 hours. I'll know the result by Friday.

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
