Thank ya, and it was my pleasure! I was actually back in Solihull by 1.30 - amazing really.

I got there at 7.30, too. What does he look like? I'll see if I can recall seeing him!

He's about 6'4", shaved head, probably was wearing all black with a record bag possibly reading a book.

Mmmmmmm, I have a vague recollection of someone fitting that description - mid 20's?

He's actually in his mid 30's but could pass for someone in their mid to late 20's. Was there a lot of people there?

To be perfectly honest, no, it wasn't as crowded and chaotic as I thought it was going to be; I guess the appointment staggering worked pretty well today. I was looking around the waiting room wondering who among us was a VJer. I was fleetingly thinking of going around asking anyone with a 5000 number if they were from VJ, but then I thought better of it!!

I was the big lump in the red hoodie, btw, in case anyone that was there is remotely interested!

Gotcha! Hadn't heard of the show... guess it's one of the few old Britcoms they don't yet show on PBS!! My SO will be impressed that I know about this now, you know me being a worldly type and all...

Congratulations!!! It's so strange to have this year long buildup, only to talk to the interviewer who seems more interested in catching up on the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Oh, by the way, DamianP -- I keep seeing you write "'er indoors" --- which I presume is rhyming slang... what does it mean? I'm half afraid to ask!!!!!

Haha!! No sara, it's not rhyming slang, but it does have cockney roots! In the 80's, we had a TV program here called, "Minder" starring George Cole and Dennis Waterman, as Arthur Daley and Terry McCann respectively. One of the long running themes of the show was the constant references to Arthur's wife, whom you never actually saw during the program's entire 15 year run. He always refered to her as "'er indoors" (her indoors, but he always dropped the 'H').

Hope that clears things up for you!!
