He definitely has my sympathy. Talking from experience, it takes resilience to bounce back. Very gratifying if it does turn out for the best but pretty disorientating and anxiety-filled time until it does. Always feel a bit of a moaning minny when saying this, seems to me that UK (work-)culture regards redundancy rather lightly. Maybe it is a residue of growing up on the Continent where only alcolholism, fraud or near bankrupcy of the firm are valid reasons for redundancy. Congratulations on the book-deal btw.

Not so sexy being a middle-aged jobless male journo in the newspaper business right now. At the time I was amazed at the way the LaPA story took off and from your account his was largely the brain behind it, so....into promotion Colin must go! Unless he wants to write a few books before senile dementia finally sets in. Poor Colin. Not so sexy being a middle-aged jobless male journo in the newspaper business right now.

Today's events, including the story by Colin Randall, gives all of your "watchers" the sense that you have indeed landed on your feet. It is amazing to me the depth of your following, and how your story seems to have touched so many of us out there in the ethernet. I look forward to reading the new book which I am sure you are busy working on. Please keep telling us about your life and loves?, it is truly fascinating.

I have a sinking feeling (is that what we say? I'm losing my English). I can just imagine someone in my funky company telling me, you're not allowed to read blogs, even though everyone else does, it's just because you're the ONLY American here so... Happy for your book deals though ! Who will play you in the movie? I vote for Scarlett J. Or Reese W.
