Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

What you need for a fun weekend :

1. Quit your job the week before, and then go ahead with unplanned holiday and spend all the money in your overdraft you are supposed to be reserving for paying your rent in January.

2. Spend a week ringing round people you know trying to find out who can get you an interview with anyone. In desperation, dig up old hope that we could get interview with Adam and Joe. Send off one last ditch email and then get a reply from Adam almost immediately afterwards saying "yeah, is Friday okay?" when Friday almost definitely isn't.

3. Spend the rest of that day in nervous anxiety waiting to see if Susan's boss will give her Friday afternoon off work. He does, eventually. At 7pm.

4. Watch your mobile phone ring, refusing to answer it because the number comes up as "anonymous". Listen to the message, and realise it was someone quite bloody famous ringing from their BBC office. Ring Susan, trying to explain what has just happened while everyone in your open plan office looks at you like you're a complete freak of nature, and you turn a really weird rash shade of red and pale.

5. Ring same person back at their BBC office while trying to sound calm and nonchalant. Pull off calm and nonchalant right up to the point where you hand up the phone, and then feel the need to scream like some mad Beatles fan from the early 1960s.

6. Decide that trying to get on a national radio show would be fun. Ask a DJ if you can go on his national radio show. Said DJ says “yes, that’s fine.” Realise what you’ve just done.

7. Spend the night before you leave over-packing, panicking and trying to dye your hair.

8. Ahahahahahaaaaaaa.
