Red Planet Notification

Have you seen the news? Slight delay, but we're contacting the finalists over the next few days. It'll all be done by Friday, I reckon, so keep an eye on your inbox.

Lame But Proud, 5 Things:

1.
One of my all time favourite songs is ‘Annie’s Song’ by John Denver.

2.
When I was 9, I came third in an ‘Erin Soup’ writing competition. The subject was ‘knitting’. I got an ‘Erin Soup’ t-shirt.

3.
I wrote to Trevor Eve when I was 12 (when he still had his Shoestring 'tache), and asked for a signed photograph, to which he kindly obliged. I had a meeting with his production company recently: ah, the circle of life… Didn’t meet him though.

4.
Fresh 'off the boat' (I flew, really) from Ireland in 1994, I got a temp job at Channel 4 and for my first day, I wore a suit, for which I’m still teased about, like, 13 years later…

5.
I did a Secretarial Course when I was 17 and learned to type, which is still one of the most useful things I’ve ever done.
