Yonks ago, Rene Lavanchy came in and did work experience for us at Private Eye. Unlike most of the wide-eyed, workshy, "well it was this or a TEFL course" English graduates who darken our doorstep only to disappear into the ether never to be heard of again, he's hacking away valiantly, currently mostly for Tribune. He does the odd bit and piece for us too. And very good they are too.
He also had the best-coloured hair.
And he too has one of these blog things, as well he should, because he's a happy-slapping, blue-toothing, knife-criming, facebooking youth of today. He asked me to show it to you, and here it is.
You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go.

About Me
- Adam Macqueen
- I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Oh, dear. Tribune's not long for this world, is it? Unless the rumours are just a sort of moral suasion aimed at the funding Unions.
"You should really go and see your Auntie Mabel while you can, etc".
(Good blog, anyway, cheers).
That's certainly the rumour. Hence me being uncommonly nice to their journalists in the meantime... Although I can't believe someone won't step in to rescue them, the wider Labour movement being in such rude health, eh?
