When Paul looks back on his career achievements he will always be able to do so in the knowledge that in his TV development work at least he made one pensioner's retirement a very happy one. Sixty nine year old Pamela Mullens was having a quiet night in watching TV when she realised that two of her phone's numbers were included in those generated by ITV's Magic Numbers show. She phoned and was lucky enough to be picked for the final challenge. Answering five questions correctly gave her the opportunity to win £350,000 but she also had the chance to win absolutely nothing. In a tense couple of minutes she picked five of the seven boxes that had money in them and none of the dreaded boxes containing an X and in doing so managed to win an enormous £290,000. We enjoyed the show again and are looking forward to a week on Saturday when we are going to be in the audience.
Here's Operations Director Dave Wilson fresh back from his holidays. On Saturday Dave celebrated his 46th birthday so congratulations from me and everyone else here at Instanta. Dave took his kids on an adventure packed break but his son Jack was a little too adventurous on a mountain bike and ended up spending a couple of days in hospital. Happy to say that after an operation to remove debris from a damaged knee Jack was up and about and he is now fully recovered. But I am sure it's a holiday that he and his dad won't forget quickly.
And here's our factory leader Tony Mercer in his new Citroen car. It's been ten years since we last changed Tony's car so it was about time that he had a new one. Mind you he does so little mileage that ten years of Tony's driving is about three of everyone else's. We gave him a budget and Tony chose the car and negotiated a deal with the local Citroen dealer. Seeing what a good deal he got I might have to ask him to start having a word with some of our suppliers.Hope you enjoy it Tony. In another ten years we'll have a look at a new one for you.
The football season hasn't even started yet but already footballers are all over the news for their typically rubbish behaviour. If it isn't Rooney weeing in the street or ex (and possibly shortly to be re-signed)Liverpool star Peter Crouch who, according to the News Of The World allegedly asked a prostitute to perform a sex act in a taxi and asked the taxi driver to negotiate the fee for him as he couldn't speak Spanish, it's the prima donnas who have been called up to the England squad for this week's friendly and have told Capello that they just can't be bothered. What a game eh! Oozing with class.
Last week I posted a video of a policeman dancing in the street. Here's a guy who thought it might be a good idea to do the same. Perhaps it's not that great an idea.
