World of Chig   

23.5.02

It's a mad, mad, media world



E-mail this morning from ex-boyfriend Simon, who now lives in the US:

"Picture the scene. After a soul-destroying day making more money for American people who already have too much, I settle in for an evening on the couch with a cup of tea and a bag of chips (crisps to you Limeys). I briefly dismiss the unpatriotic urge to do something cultural and inevitably turn on the TV to watch Liquid News recorded from BBC America earlier in the day. There in the middle of segment on Jessica Garlick in Tallinn, who do I spot in the front row of a press conference? Thank God I have TiVo (actually the technologically superior, but doomed in a Betamax way, ReplayTV) so I could pause and confirm that it really was you! Wow!"
