Friday Round-up

Apparently some entertainer by the name of Michael Jackson died last night? Does anyone know about it? Seriously though the office, and apparently the internet and all forms of known media seem to have gone nuts about it. I have to confess that I was never really a fan and for me his greatest moment was getting Eddie Van Halen to play the guitar solo on “Beat It”, which shows which way the musical wind blows in my music collection. At least that means I won’t be having to get a refund on his farewell tour tickets but for fans who want to mark his passing, and the simply curious, there are plans for a mass moonwalk at Liverpool Street station tonight at 6pm, details at http://is.gd/1e7st

Regular readers may remember the Leadenhall Market Diamond Hunt and they’ve released a photo of the lucky winner, Rob Nicol, together with Speckled Tim who was the Hunt’s mascot and guide. They’ve got a host of other events on over the summer so head on over to their website for more info.

I’m hoping to be off to the Master Gunner pub up on Moorgate in a bit, assuming the rain holds off, but as I’ve managed to leave my mobile at home today (sob) there won’t be any tweeting going on.
