And the moral of thus sorry tale is................ NEVER proof read your own work, co-erce someone else to do it.(Speaks from long experience!!)

Three times now I have prepared copy - once for print and twice for broadcast - which has relied upon information supplied by and relating to a third party. In each case, I have submitted my copy (which was proofed by myself, my partner, my nearest friend, two strangers and a dog) to the party in question, only to have them change everything as it relates to them and GET IT WRONG!

And in every case I have been the one forced to make a public apology.

The real moral of the story is never have anything to do with the public. Or theatre. Or public relations. Or the outside world in any way, shape or form. Just find a deep hole, climb inside and never emerge. Nothing else is safe.

All the best

Hi Noel

This is your time of the year, Noel. Come out of your deep hole. Forget about the (Christmas) past and look to the (Christmas) present. Enjoy your "pudding". We still love you. Merry Christmas.

Cheers.

Never mind Johnny

...treat yourself to a choccy biscuit (or a shot of something amber coloured, liquid) and console yourself. I suspect we've nearly all done something similar in the past. You only do it once....
