Car trouble

So, no really exciting new news, except the fact that I'm still waiting for my new car (it is due to arrive today), and my credit cards and cheque book have been delivered to me, so I can start paying off/back the money I owe to all and sundry.

Went pub quizzing at Fibber Mcgees a couple of weeks ago, and my team, Horizontal Bob (long story where that name came from) is officially the reigning champions - out of approx 11 teams nogal! Sarah, Martin, Lisa, Rob (Bob) and myself rocked the party, and looked suitably dumbfounded at the results, mainly as we were wondering if there were indeed drunker/stupider people there than us ;-)

Saw Goldfish (CT duo) on Thursday - not as good as I've seen them before, but awesome enough that I got to say I told you so at least 10 times to my sceptical (mainly UK) mates ;-) Met them on Friday and had drinks with them, and managed to do a fair few Xmas pressies (bought 5 of their albums!), so that was cool...

Am trying to get my lazy ass out of Dubai this weekend, am uber-keen on seeing the beaches in Fugeirah, and getting in some suntanning and scuba diviing - watch this space. Fun Loving Criminals/Arrested Development Sat night so will definitely have to be back for that!

Work is still hectic, but have finally been given permission to hire people, and an assistant, so am way happier than last week! Have also been told that studio integration (i.e all 4 BBDO studios) should be going ahead next year as initially planned, so will be in charge of 30 people by Feb, instead of the 15 I'm in charge of now - talk about swift promotion opportunites here, they weren't kidding!

As for the shits in Sunninghill that buggered up my parents' shop, and caused my mom to fracture her wrist, I say TWITS! (And that's because I don't want my parents reading the other word that comes to mind).
