Friday already? That came around quickly. Far too quickly for me to think of anything particularly interesting to write I’m afraid. I made a lazy attempt to seem relevant in the subject line and that was as far as I got. I don’t even have any weekend plans that I can tell you about. How dull. So we’d better just crack on and get on with the news…
Enjoy your weekend
Sadly this year I was ineligible to run for Mayor of London because a) I didn’t go to Eton and b) I’m not the son of a London bus driver so my application was rejected. I also don’t own a dead cat and I think you need one of those too, from what I’ve been reading in the papers (I haven’t been paying a huge deal of attention). Hopefully rules will have changed by 2020 so I thought that now was a good opportunity to set out my manifesto.
Have a super weekend (sunshine, finally!!).
I come bearing gifts. There is loads of good stuff in this week’s newsletter – funding, job opportunities, competitions to win. I guess after however many months of producing the usual drivel one of them finally had to hit the mark. Monkeys and typewriters etc etc…
A point of administration – my wife is expecting a baby in three weeks so if there is a sudden interruption to the weekly missives that’s why. It’s not because I’ve finally been found out and asked to leave SSE. At least I hope not.
Enjoy the news, and have a super bank holiday weekend.

This week I have been without a television. We’re having building work done and it’s kicked up so much dust that it’s got into a circuit board or something similarly technical and now the TV doesn’t work. It’s awful. My evenings are empty. Things are so bad that my wife and I even found ourselves discussing whether to have a gate in the back garden or not. Bleak. I now have a four letter word to describe those people who say “Oh, we got rid of the TV and our lives have improved so much”: liar.
Anyway, if I did have a TV, here’s what I’d be watching tonight…
If you are reading this on Friday, chances are that you are not at Skoll World Forum. That’s alright, I’m not either. I wasn’t invited. But that’s ok, because I’ve decided to start my very own social enterprise conference, and you are invited. It’s going to be big – and I’ll save money by excluding the cheap poster prints the Skoll World Forum loves to blanket its conferences in. You can read a sneak preview below.
