Little drummer boy...

Great to have Paul back working on the show again last night. As usual we had an afternoon of backstage bickering which culminated in a 5pm 'Dougie Mclean' discussion which got rather heated.

It's a bit of a sad week as he is leaving the BBC on Friday to go off and play drums in Dananananaykroyd. That's them above. I'll miss him. Although he hasn't worked on the show for a couple of months, we are good mates and he's still very much part of the Get It On family.

He can still be an annoying toe-rag though. He's just sent me an e-mail headed 'Call yourself an athlete Burnett?' which refers to this story which claims drummers have the same fitness levels as professional footballers. Quite which football player he thinks he resembles I don't know. However, I am guessing that training to be a pro footballer requires a bit more effort more than taking the stairs to the canteen to get your cheese toastie.

Just in case Paul is still not convinced:

A proper athlete....                                 

A drummer....
