They are all patting each other on the back when something goes well but as soon as a target is missed or a minor mistake is made they're all pointing the finger, passing the buck, and making the shit stick on the person that was not responsible for the f*ck-up in the first place. Yep, I recognise that. 30+ years in an organisation where it was once admirable to admit your mistakes and take action to correct them. Now a blame culture exists with the cliques eager to pin blame on anyone, so long as it's not them or their pals. Nearly 6 more years to go if I last out, but it seems like a lifetime at the moment. I'm already working on the retirement speech and the list of names in the little red book is getting longer day by day. Wolfie Smith, anyone?

In my "other job", I get spam emails from AI companies offering the same service I do for real. Cheeky or what ? but over the past week I've received @gmail.com emails from Judi Dench, Tom Hardy, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Stephen Tompkinson and Emma Thompson all promising second-to-none SEO results in identical messages. To be fair, Sam - Stephen did wonders wonders for my SEO/Google rankings and promised to sort out any drunks hanging around outside the house too. It has been a while since I've received any celebrity SEO developers but today thanks to his @hotmail.com email address I received a promise of web page development and SEO fixes from none other than Rowan Atkinson. If he's undertaking it in his Mr Bean guise I'll give it a miss but if he's in his Johnny English guise then he may have some serious government backing and could be worth a punt. There was also one from Colin Firth earlier today but I ruled that out because he wouldn't have the time between his royal duties and his speech therapy sessions. Sam.

I've seen Colin's web design portfolio and his html skills are admirable, particularly on the work he did for a specialised dating site for rich lawyers who have a shy persona and always lose out in love to upper class bad boy rivals from leafy Hampstead. And Rowan obviously knows the first rule of business is to have an impressive Hotmail contact address. I reckon the emails are genuine.

I'm getting a sinking feeling now, even Kate Winslet has emailed me today suggesting she can update my website to "reach a larger audience". I'm feeling all at sea. Sam.

Sad thing is some poor sods fall for these rats.

And so it goes on, today's web designers are veterans of two separate Italian Jobs: Michael Caine and Jason Statham. https://www.instagram.com/p/C2PuksqKyS6 Sam.

You could always find the name of a top SEO supremo, "borrow" their email address and offer them a once in a lifetime deal on acting tuition. I get daily spam from people offering to point out the mistakes they have just seen on my website. It's been offline for 6 months.

He's a Cad - needs telling he's a rotter and slapping with a pair of white gloves.

Am awaiting your 'blood Greta Garbo' post with relish, she's bound to be amongst them somewhere! (See Pete and Dud for details )
