The fact that we got so close is something I am immensely proud of - it is pretty ruddy good from where we started from.

It's definitely behind me now. I know I'm strong mentally, so I got past it pretty fast. It happened on the court a couple of months ago. I know I'd been feeling pain in it for a while now, but I just played through it.

Yeah, classic rock is our station of choice. It's part of the vibe here. It fits pretty good with our target market of 25- to 55-year-olds.

These figures reflect the rather mixed picture of recent months. Employment is up by nearly 200,000 on the year and I am pleased to see the claimant count falling for the first time in a year. However, the rise in ILO unemployment shows the need to continue to be vigilant.

Recent figures have been erratic and this quarter's are disappointing. However, taking the year as a whole the number of people in work is up by over 200,000.

I'm pretty proud of them, ... They worked hard.
