How’s your inbox this morning?
Mine is filled with people trying to get their songs on 2oceansvibe Radio (wrong person – try these deets), an offer for penis enlargement (wrong crowd), and sales on things I can’t afford anyway.
I don’t want to pry with regards what’s happening on your side, but apparently this email is now doing the rounds.

It was probably poured for her by someone she refers to as ‘the houseboy’.
A few more, because you’re insatiable:
Fascinating.
Anyway, you’ll find all the details on how you can add your voice to the mix here.
Jenny, that’s your second glass now, people are starting to talk.
