Yes, I am a buffoon ….


This picture proves it.

My partner took it of me wearing one of her more, stylish, on-trend hats in the office just now.

It made a pleasant break from preparing for an interview in half an hour on what I think about market research.

(As usual ignorance will not stop opening my big mouth).

The journalist says he wants a photograph later, so if they manage to make me look more intelligent than this (not hard) I’ll show you what it comes out like.
