Well, this morning i was listening to my voicemail with coffee in hand, and got a very unusual message congratulating me on being listed in The Observer Future 500 list in the “media” category. What suprised me most was that nobody had mentioned my nomination, and from looking at the site it seesm you are meant to send in your CV for consideration. Somehow i ended up in the top 10, without even trying. Not bad for a day’s work, even if you haven’t done any work for it!

The Future 500 is a list of upcoming stars and future leaders in different industries all over the world. It will be in newsagents on Nov 25th if you want to pick up a copy.
