At the pub quiz last week a television film (or should that be video) crew turned up to film my team as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/peoplesquiz\/about\/mick_mccarthy.shtml\">Mick McCarthy<\/a> had got through to the final of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/peoplesquiz\/\">&#8220;The National Lottery People&#8217;s Quiz&#8221;<\/a>. I also had to do a peice to camera looking enthusiastic and wishing Mick good luck. I&#8217;ll probably finish up on the digital cutting room floor as I won&#8217;t be in the audience for the final (being filmed 6th June and broadcast 24th June) and if the previous evening&#8217;s shoot is anything to go by they&#8217;ll use very little of it. The previous evening&#8217;s footage had a mere 3 seconds shown.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday I met up with Grim and Holly in Reading, had a nice meal and then watched Spiderman 3. Not as good as the first two but O.K. The rest of the weekend was made up of shooping for clothes and a new pocket camera (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.co.uk\/digital\/cameras\/f31\/\">Fuji F31fd<\/a>) on Saturday and getting my GPS talking to my iBook (requiring soldering and a visit to Maplin&#8217;s) yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, have I been having a fun fortnight?
