Hello and welcome

Today is a briefing day organised by the G20 Voice peeps.

Am networking like a wild thing. Oh look, there's Michelle O. 'Scuse me.

Damn dreadful cross thread error. I see I should be sensible on this one. PW, I shall try, quickly, to develop a sensible response that involves some suggestions for how the communique could be strengthened.

Habb, no one's making any threatening moves towards me at the moment. I should be on the radio tomorrow though, with a bit of luck.

Which reminds me - does 100x know that Five Live want to talk to me?

I won't get my free-walking-tour-of-Westminster-and-dinner-at-a-bar-in-Shoreditch if I throw myself in front of purple jumper man and start hogging the lens.

More blogging navel-gazing now I'm afraid. Go on, Twitter in some questions.

I HATE INSPIRATIONAL THREE-MINUTE FILMS USING SLIGHTLY MELANCHOLIC YET EUPHORIC PIANO MUSIC and I've seen far too many of them today

The American brings in the big guns...

iSOLOvechocolate · 01/04/2009 15:38

She'd probably hide behind her tablecloth though so we couldn't see her reading the answers!

We have every faith in your ability to ask and answer all questions necessary PW!
