You're more of a baritone James, but give it a shot, everyone needs a baritone.

Sorry James, but I, more or less, already got that job, tomorrow I´ll be in Maida Vale for a showcase to the BBC peeps.

So you are thinking about going back to old Blimey? I can see that, I was in Sweden for four days and man, I actually wanted to stay...
Maybe I should apply for some jobs in London, I know the marketing director of Yahoo Europe... He should get me some kind of job...damn

I knew it! I can't beat a velvety-tonsiled crooners like you, Erik, I never will. I shall admit defeat now and wish you the best in you new role as Tenor (with a capital "T", which would look good on business cards, wouldn't it?).

Yeah, I am 'considering' (at least) heading back to the Mothership, or old "Blighty". By the way, that's "Blighty", not "Blimey", which is used to express exclamation and goes well coupled with "Cor..." when you in a cafe/hospital/holiday camp and talking to Kennth Williams or Frankie Howard and then Babs Winsor suddenly bends over to display, what was considered in those days, her lovely "buns".
