Tonight's London bombs piss-up
If anyone else from the media and stuff - or anyone who contributed to the fund, wants to contribute in person, or who had a near-miss on the day - is interested in attending this thank-you booze-up for paramedic volunteers, drop me an email at nosemonkey [at symbol thing] gmail [full-stop] com. Write-up tomorrow, plus details of any television / newspaper coverage as and when I know - my brief bit of fame of a live TV interview tonight is beginning to look less certain, however (can't decide whether it's a relief or a disappointment...)
Update: Well, looks like Auntie's going ahead after all. As such, expect to see a particularly nervous-looking Nosemonkey being interviewed live on BBC London News tonight at some point after 6:30.
Bricking it...
Update 2: I'm now closing the appeal - thanks again to all who donated. If anyone's still feeling charitable, Instapundit has a long list of blogger reccomendations for hurricane relief charities after the unpleasantness in New Orleans.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent a few grueling hours last week recording a piece on wireless (in)security for public radio here.
I felt like I was 15 again, awkwardly trying to ask Alison (the English girl who had just moved to suburban Chicago from London) out for a date...voice cracking, vocabulary down to about 10 monosyllabic grunts...
At least I didn't have a camera pointed at me...but I didn't have a pint to calm my nerves, either.
Anyone know if you can get BBC London News off the Internet? Am annoyingly too far outside the region...
Noticed that you were:
Nosemonkey
website master
After all the fuss they made a few weeks ago about blogging and bloggers they could have given you a better name.
Perhaps "Internet Superhighway Enthusiast" would have had a better ring to it. "Website master" is terribly quaint.
Can't wait to hear the details...
