 5 minutes of fame Sorry if this is seen as blatant self-promotion, but I'm chuffed to bits! I was offered the opportunity to write a 400 word article for a suppliment in one of the large construction industry trade magazine (sounds grand already doesn't it  ) - Construction News - watch out for it on Who's Line is it Anyway.I digress, I've just been sent over the draft for me to proof read it and then it's going in the magazine! It's my first published work. *does little dance*

| No he works for a company called Flamco, they do all sorts of heating & ventilating stuff, sealed systems & expansion vessels etc. & for the last few years he's been doing the pipe hanging clips. His company is based in Holland & Germany & he works for the U.K. branch. I'll get him to bring his copy of C.N. home from work so I can have a read!

| Congrats HW - would love to see a copy of it (OH is a Civ Eng, but moved away from structural when he decided he didn't like sprayed concrete tunnels halfway through his PhD - so he's now doing traffic!! Doesn't send anyone to sleep but guarantees an argument over every dinner party table.....) |

| My 5 mins is still paying! About 15 years ago I had a couple of children's hymns published (yes, I'll happily pass you the sick bucket!) Every couple of years I get a royalties cheque for between £40 and £55 depending on sales. They've obviously been in different collections over the years. I used to say I wasn't giving up the day job, but hey, I have! Buys a few seeds though eh?
