 The Editor's Diary
updated 4th October 2008
Our Editor, Chris Hurley continues her occasional diary about her working days (and nights) covering stories for the web site. In this edition, she tries to win a trip to Korea but ends up with a low carbon footprint alternative, and thinks that she is in an episode of The Apprentice at the launch of the Samsung Omnia mobile phone. And what was she doing walking down Bond Street in London mid way through a hairdressing appointment covered in foil? She gets charmed by Charley Boorman in his equivalent of the Tardis and on the home front the renovation circus has finally packed up its tent and normality returns.
