News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 16/08/2015
» I admit to watching too much news and sport on television, but do not make a habit of viewing many “drama” series, especially anything to do with zombies. I catch occasional episodes of A Game of Thrones, but haven’t the foggiest idea what's going on. However, the pet dragons are quite cute.

» As a part of my glamorous, coveted job, I am in contact with about 100 PR representatives per day. OK, maybe five, but still. While most of them are pleasant and send me food on a regular basis, I've had my share of traumatising experiences that I can't seem shake out of my pretty head. I'm not just talking about PR people exclusively — the young(er) generation of office workers can also drive office aunties like me up the wall.
