It is only a matter of days before I am visiting Napoleon Fantastic. We will be spending a whole week in his studio, laying down tunes for my new all electric balls-out album. There be a pitched battle with the urge to drink booze and it shall make Napoleon feel rather ill - post-drunk. It will be a week of hard work but fun times. I am looking forward to it.
I was rather shocked and dismayed to arrive at work this morning to be immediately asked if I could not take a holiday. I was told, rather patronisingly, that there would be no cover in my absence and this would have a major client impact. There was no mention of monetary remuneration or days in lieu. I was expected to just give up my time off. This was all expressed in a rather threatening manner, implying that I would be worse off if I said no.
I said no. How can a global company get away with this? I know it is just bad management; these people really do not know what they can say or do, and they keep getting away with it. Well, the buck stops here pal. I am officially launching the “Find Nelson a New Job” campaign. So if there is anyone out there who has a London vacancy in an editorial/media-type occupation please get in touch. I’m very hard working, intelligent and really rather handsome. Oh, and I look good in a dress.
CV available upon request.

Gits. Hope you find something soon, or become a rich and famous singer.
I really like what I’ve heard so far.
Thanks so much Jo - wait until you hear the new stuff. I can just see us performing it on the Jools Holland show or some such TV/music programme.
