This morning I was in the times, i stuffed the link up, but here it is good and proper.
I thought that was pretty cool, but from there the day went mental.
I woke up to an email from ABC Sydney radio asking for a chat.
While I was setting up my phone interview with the ABC, I got a call from some other media mob asking me to do an interview in front of a hotel.
I said yes, but only if it wouldn’t interfere with my ABC interview, and I asked if I could do it by phone.
They said I couldn’t. Probably because it was a TV interview on CNN. I know.
So they sent me a car (a Mercedes), and I went out to England’s hotel to do a live cross with them, and while I waited I chatted to the ABC until they brought Jim Maxwell on as well and I could not get a fucken word in.
Then I was on air at CNN with Nick Compton of Middlesex, who seems like a good bloke, and did my bit with them. They mentioned the balls, and on the screen had me down as an Australian Journalist, my family still hasn’t stopped laughing at that.
After that I was waiting for my Mercedes, but since it took the best part of an hour, I was sitting around talking shit with Aussies when the BBC came up and asked us for a chat based on our accents.
I said no probs, as long as you mention my site.
So I did my BBC interview, swore twice, and then let one of the original balls crew, Big Daddy, have his moment in the sun.
The BBC used the footage for their BBC London news program, although there was no mention of my website.
Bastards.
So it was a big day, will put up the CNN and BBC footage soon.
But now I am tired.
It is tiring being this famous.
Enjoy yr moment in the sun. It can get cloudy in london.

I like how they stood you next to your exact opposite – a smartly dressed male modelesque blond with a south African tinge, from a blue blood cricketing heritage.
