This evening is the formal launch of our company to the media and we've got a shed load of journalists coming to a swanky London hotel for the event. Being a true entrepreneur, our CEO has decided he wants me to do the keynote presentation to the gathered crowd eek

To add to the pressure, our CEO is a well connected bloke, so we've got Simon Cowell, a few of the dragons from Dragons Den, Joan Collins and a handful of other celebs coming to the event yikes

I think I may need a couple of glasses of something strong to get me in the mood xmas

Chin Up.

What's the worst that can happen?

You have a too much alcohol so stutter and stumble everywhere, crack a few crappy jokes at the expense of the celebs and incur the wrath of you CEO.

Pah!

And you call that pressure wink

Simon Cowell is only going due to him being the brother of an investor. He won't pay attention.

Turn it into car enthusiasts talk. Cowell likes his motas, the DD team seem keen! (Don't know about Joan Collins;thought she was dead!) Do a Top Gear Live thing with your Nobel on a stage doing some burnouts wink. Guaranteed to break the ice at parties!

You know it makes sense!

I'm disappointed you know who they are.

If you had referred to them as the "Irish boys, you know, the Nazi experiments", everyone would have known who you meant anyway.

Isn't Simon Cowells brother a PH'er?
