At the end of 2009 I received a call regarding a new job. A budding company from the midlands required my van driving expertise to help run the delivery side of their new enterprise. The business revolved around the creation of coloured tyres, it was a crazy scheme, but they convinced me it was the best thing since garlic bread with their charm, charisma and ability to use PowerPoint. They wanted me to solely carry out all deliveries around the UK for the first 12 months using a transit van that had been purchased second hand, although it looked more like 15th, it didn't even have a CD player, but at least my cassette copy of "the pleasure principle" was back in business. This was undoubtedly an ambitious task, but I do have 20 years of van driving experience under my belt so I was willing to take it on. The plans were made, my driving hat was dusted down, the cassette was primed and I awaited my instructions but over easter everything went quiet, and nothing has been said of this company ever since. I've received another offer to deliver these weird umbrella things, but they sounded rubbish and I didn't want to sully my name by association.
In other news, I made a visit to Hayes & Yeading over the weekend to watch my beloved Harriers play and had a wonderful day watching an impressive 4-0 victory.
A couple more things before I sign off, firstly, my mate psycho Steve has lost his dog, if anyone sees a brown Pomeranian in the local area drop me a comment or something.
Finally, I would just like to wish Barry "La grand pâtisserie" Hopkins the best of luck with his latest attempt to shed some pounds, he's joined the local fitness first and claims that this January will be the year.
