Were You Expecting Someone Else?

One of life's little ironies was cruelly averted today by me being asked to take part in the NCVO seminar earlier.

One of the little burdens that I have to carry around with me on a daily basis is that people approach me to do events/media/write articles when they haven't been lucky enough to get their hands on Alex Hilton (of Recess Monkey fame, but don't tell anyone!).

Normally I wouldn't mention this fact (after all it is nice to be considered at all), but had Alex agreed to do the seminar today he may well have had someone physically getting their hands on him - as I was joined by Nadine Dorries MP.

Now it is fair to say that Nadine is not Alex's biggest fan after he posted this article concerning her daughter - indeed here is Nadine's rebuttal (pointing out she is taking legal action against the Monkey). That may well have been the point to lay off, but that provoked Alex into posting this.

It's all got a bit Eamon and Frankee, hasn't it?

If Alex had have turned up it would certainly have been interesting. Who knows, maybe even as interesting as the seminar concerning "lobbying the brown inner circle".

Which, incidentally, Alex was also considered for. ;-)
