I’m beginning to think that Tammy was pulling my leg when she said Geoff Hurst was coming to do a book signing. I suppose it’s possible. I mean, would she have gone far enough as to look up when his book was coming out in paperback?

Work has been weird this week. We’ve had way too few people working. The only reason I didn’t have to go down to News today was that Barbara didn’t come in so we were short of people upstairs… And I’m scared of the new lift. I don’t know why. The old lift was evil. It got stuck a lot. And once it plummeted with one of the staff inside it. (Although apparently he’d overloaded it.) So we had it replaced (I say we…). It’s shiny. And I’m irrationally scared when I’m inside it…

One funny thing happened though. A lady came in to buy a Spanish course for her son. She wanted something on CD so that he could play it in his car, so I recommended the Michel Thomas 2 hour introductory course. She looked at the box really strangely, and asked how it was supposed to go in the CD player. Surely it was too big? So I opened the box and showed her the CD’s. She’d seriously thought you put the box into an audio playing device of some kind… The episode’s almost as strange as the lady who came in and asked where the books on the Dettox diet were. (I showed her the Detox diet books, incidentally. And I didn’t laugh in her face. Heh.)

Oh dear. David Beckham’s broken a bone in his foot. What a calamity! (I can't decide whether I'm being sarcastic or not. You decide. :-)
