It's been a while since Joe Renby has written any letters. He wants to try and break into the world of marketing, and has decided to try his luck with the biggest organisation in the UK: Her Majesty's Government.
In a similar vein to yesterday's post, I'm having trouble understanding why DMX is so insistent upon rapping about Iago, the villainous parrot sidekick in Disney's Aladdin, in his track 'Party Up':
A few days ago, I was listening to Living Colour’s ‘Cult of Personality’. You might remember it from playing GTA San Andreas. Now I can’t stop thinking that they’re singing about coats. Listen and see what I mean: Maybe I just really need to buy a coat. It is getting colder. Liam

I decided to email the Mayor of London with a genius idea for how to reduce congestion at the Underground ticket barriers during the Olympics.
“You might want to learn how to touch-type”, my new employers told me, “you’ll probably be taking notes at meetings.” Dutifully, I’ve started learning how to use all my fingers when typing, but now I worry that I’m groping my computer.
