This is a bit like that Edward Norton film, 25th Hour. Except I havent seen it yet, so it might not be. Anyhoo, I’ve been out of work for 2 months, and have just got a new job. Having spent most of the past 8 weeks jobseeking and cursing at daytime telly, I have one week of liberty left. I’d like to make...
