For those of you who know me or have read the books, you might be interested - amused even - to hear that Lee Sharpe is involved in advertising an anti-hair loss product. I was thinking of writing in and cashing in on the idea - A photo of the man himself 'WITH the treatment' followed by a picture of me ... with a slightly different caption including the phrase 'having eaten lots of pies and not taken the treatment.'

Narnia is a magical place but unfortunately you won't be able to hear my radio interview with Tim from Narnia as the 'logging computer crashed' and normally the show is backed up by other means but that was apparently, 'two bits of bad luck as once' so I can only presume this didnt happen either.
The other possible explaination is that like Narnia, I've made the entire thing up in my head and the interview never happened. Time for me to check the back of the wardrobe me thinks ...

I spent this afternoon with Tim from Narnia. If you don't believe me, here's his website. http://www.timfromnarnia.co.uk/. He does a show on Edinburgh student radio and I had the pleasure of being interviewed by him ... about my books and publishing. When we weren't talking about that we had a crack at the fact of the day, listened to Aslan the Australian Lion and Tim's very own version of 'The One and Only' entitled 'Tiny Pony'. Bonkers!

In the words of Frazer from Dad's Army, 'We're doomed.' We're enveloped by climate change at the moment. The ice caps will melt, the seas are going to rise, species will become extinct and it won't be long before you'll be able to fry a pound of sausages on the bonnet of your car ... in December!

Have no fear. The global population is aware of this monumental problem and possibly the last generation to do anything will no doubt get it right.

Time for the National Television Awards and the catogory of 'Most Popular Factual programme.' Far be it for David Attenborough’s Planet Earth to win when everyone knows we just want the facts on the latest top of the range sports cars with least possible MPG possible.

I'm doing my own bit for the enviroment today. I've built up a collection of pre-paid return envelopes - you know, the ones you get in junk mail - put in one of my own with compliments slips with the message 'Thanks for sending me your stuff, visit author Lee Crompton at www.leecrompton.com to find out more about his stuff,' and then sent them there envelopes back to wence they then came from!

I call it recycling! I especially like using my rubber stamp, so that all the postmen know the web address too.
