Klaxons gave me:

Shout Out Out Out - Not Saying Just Saying

Hot Chip - The Warning

CSS - Cansei de Ser Sexy

You can see where I’m heading, gimme some more…

What is in my ‘To Do’ playlist (besides your mum):

Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future

Echo & The Bunnymen - Crocodiles

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Mark Ronson - Version

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

silverchair - Young Modern

Timbaland - Presents Shock Value.

Gradually these albums are getting cut off my list, so please inform me of rad new shit that I should be ramming down the ears of my work colleagues. Klaxons is doing nicely, but a change would be nice…

Unnamed expats on my Parisian adventure:

1. Calling a cab and waiting for ages for it not to arrive, only to get a call the next night from the cab company explaining that her cab will be 15mins late; it turns out she drunkenly called the cab and asked to be picked up the next night.

2. Dumping someone through a facebook status change - fantastic.

3. Asking what language the French national anthem is in.

There are more - this will be updated as my spies jog my memory… 

Best thing to happen today: started boozing at 1pm with the rest of the account team. Some of the guys had been going since last night without sleeping and were a little worse for wear - but their commitment to come to work anyway simply must be applauded. Perhaps that has something to do with some lost keys…

After our 5th round, one of the account guys remembers that there’s a crucial conference call going with the head of our primary client (you should know who this is…). He decides that the best thing he can do is call into the conference call and add his two cents.

Simply one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Slurring his words (and completely unexpected/unappreciated by the rest of the call) he starts cracking jokes at the expense of our account director. The client starts laughing (as we all are, of course) but rumour has it he won’t be coming in Monday. That said, I have to say it might have been worth it. The balls… simply amazing.
