Having so far viewed the recession as yet another fleeting obsession of an hysterical media (bird flu, anyone?), no-one is more surprised than me when a letter lands in my postbox, from my employer, inviting me to an interview for my own job. Read the rest of this article »
I am woken from a restless night on H’s sofa not by birdsong or morning sunshine, but by the unmistakeable sound of a brass band playing the Monty Python theme tune. Da-dum da-diddle-de-dum da-dum, da-dum da-dum da-dum… Read the rest of this article »
Being told your job is under threat of redundancy, I have discovered, is a bit like contracting a violent, infectious disease. There are shivers, night sweats, insomnia, not to mention the fact you s*** yourself. But what really compounds the misery is the reaction of those around you.
People you’ve worked with for years, may have shared a joke and a cab home from the Christmas party with, suddenly drop silent at your approach. Eyes burn into screens, fingers dance across keyboards, cups of tea sit stewing on the side as their owners rush back to their desks, suddenly remembering some urgent email they must write, right now, this instant, and bugger the tannins.

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
