Mike, it's best that we both keep low key on this one and let Houghy feel the full brunt of the fury which is to come next week.
Don't forget we'll be in close vicinity to the Hough household on the 9th Nov and the last thing we want is Mrs Hough in a huff with us.......

I just hope you have written the best CV for her and that she has landed the job.
