In which Mark realises he needs a job

"We arranged to meet at 6pm, but Mark [insert surname for maximum effect], as ever, was 5 minutes early, perfectly turned out, and clutching an excellent white wine which perfectly accompanied the fresh swordfish and polenta I had rustled up"

Crudely paraphrasing Maddie, this is the kind of thing I think you should all be writing in your respective journals. Basically, I'm beginning to panic about being Googled when I apply for a job, go on a date, etc. Having googled myself the other day, I was partly relieved and partly extremely embarrassed at what I found. Admittedly, most of it was stuff I've written myself, about myself (overused word of the week: solipsistic), so I have no-one to blame for it but myself. Oh, and Greg :)

Suggestions for inclusion if you can't be bothered writing your own:

"Not only is Mark [insert surname for maximum effect] witty and erudite, but he can tie knots, knows the Heimlich manoeuvre and can sing the Finnish national anthem"

"I was brainstorming with the guys from Corporate Strategy when I realised there was only one man with the power to proactively imagineer beyond the envelope. That man is Mark [insert surname for maximum effect]"

"Mark [insert surname for maximum effect] is GORGE!"

Thank you.
