Yes, Bon Jovi. With my wife and dad. And this same week I’m seeing Arcade Fire. This is just how I roll.

Now then, No More Women is rolling along nicely on the blog from a couple of days ago. There was a dispute over whether Jamie Oliver infringed the ‘no more abbreviations’ rule. The official line is that even though Jamie is no shorter than James, it is a diminutive, so it does count as a shortening. If you challenged that in a game with me and Key, you would win (after lot of arguing, as is traditional). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, No More Women is a We Need Answers-spinoff-game which is being played via the comments on a blog from a couple of days ago. I opened discussions today about putting a version of it on the DVD, as I suggested yesterday. I’ll keep you posted.

Speaking of the DVD, if you follow either my Twitter or Facebook you may have seen that this evening I launched a competition even more elaborate than the ones I usually get myself into. Essentially I’m looking to give two tickets to the person who’ll travel the furthest to Bristol. I will publish the full details of this lame-brained initiative tomorrow. I was very surprised by how many people responded to this. People definitely love free stuff. Or me. But I think it’s mostly the free stuff. Maybe we’ll make the DVD free and give away like they do with the Metro. (Note to agents: I realise we will not be doing this.)

As I said, tune in tomorrow when I will explain this competition properly. It’s unlikely to apply to any regular reader of this, because you’re either coming or not by now (if you see what I mean). But we shall see.
