Not doing any gig/album/band reviews by any chance?
My early press cuttings will be displayed here soon. I think I have one of the first Daily Mirror cuttings mentioning Jet & JJ locked up for the night in London... plus loads more.
Brilliant stuff. Weirdly, I've sort of got a new job as well, as I'm caring for my Dad now as my Mum's been in hospital 9 weeks, next stop for her is a temporary bed in a home and we wait to see how she improves.
And I'm supposed to be off to MEN Arena toneet for Roger Waters' gig.
After 27 years working for a major national newspaper company.. then redundancy.. then caring for my father - who has seen the Stranglers many times but now suffers from Dementia and is in a Care home..
I applied for a job with the Manchester Evening News (M.E.N. Media).
Invited to an interview, I thought... 'In for a Penny, in for a Pound' and gave it my Best. 10% nervous 90% convident!
I won! Got the Job! Little Apprentice Me!
Just had to share this as I thought I'd never work again.
Still..... 6 months propabation but I can,t wait to getting back into it!

Thanks for all your kind words of support. I really do appreciate it.
My job title is 'City Centre Team Leader'.... 3 of us managing the Distributors & Retailers who sell / hand out the Manchester Evening News in the City Centre. Targets to be met etc.
I am really looking forward to this. Just hope it all works out!
Whenever you mention MEN I always think of the Buzzcocks "Why she's the girl from the chainstore" vid
