I was the cause of great hilarity at work yesterday, even though I wasn't even in the building. I had to talk to a colleague about a story for ie next week, but he was busy so I left a message with another co-worker. As soon as I got off the line, I realised I'd given an old home phone number not my current one. So I sent the person I wanted to talk to an email saying something like, "Apparently the phone number here is 1234 5678." When he rang me back he said everybody in the office was amused that I didn't know my own phone number. Why should I know it? I never have to ring me.

Over at my other blog, there's some links to audio and video of the new 973FM breakfast show. It's interesting to hear Bob Gallagher, who has come over from sister station 4KQ, say he's "going to look forward to playing some music that's been released this side of the new millennium".

There was great excitement in my household yesterday when the new Ikea catalogue arrived. I'm not terribly into the products themselves but I do like the unique brand names on offer at the Swedish store. I'm really looking forward to asking for the latest self-assmebly goods from SKÄNKA, KONCIS,SVIT, MÅSNAN, PERSISK, EFFEKTIV, FNISS,NÖJE, DUKTIG, MINIFÅNGST, TJUSIG, BJÖRNA, TYLÖSAND, ÅNES, LIATORP and MONGSTAD (which sounds like somewhere you might find Kyle Sandilands).
