Could you not persuade someone else to do it for you?

Sorry, no. I tried once way back when you first mentioned it but he wasn't on. That shitkicker music is something you're sentenced to when you drive through part of the country. Some is good, but not constantly. I tune the car radio to CJTR community radio 91.3 if they're playiing music and if they're talking they get the hook and I push button 2 for 94.5 The Jack rock/oldies station. Check CJTR out online. Is he still the 'Voice of the Riders'?
The building that used to be CKRM radio station in the old days has been renovated and is now the surgical centre where I had my shoulder fixed end of May.

Well, I certainly can't blame you, it's a shit awful station, but after a year or so at Global TV, he's back there and is now the weekend news anchor and a news reporter the rest of the time.

Apparently the ratings for the shit awful channel's news has gone way up since he started.

Except to say that Greenhill shouldn't do it under any circumstances.

Given the circumstances, I would strongly advise writing a letter before you do anything you may regret. My very best of luck

Always easier to beg forgiveness than seek permission. Imagine the life of "what if" and the endless pangs of regret if you don't. Almost Proustian in its pathos. Do it.

But then again, you may hurt yourself or others. Consider the consequences very carefully.

When all's said and done, there's no easy decision. I mean, you may as well just ask a bunch of random strangers on the Internet for their opinion... oh.

There is method in my madness (er, somewhat).

Do you have 15 minutes that you can spare today?

Are you soliciting donations for Greenpeace or recruiting for Scientology? "Can you spare a few minutes to answer some questions" is an opening gambit that worries me deeply
