Mel gets behind the camera as I pop up to the Admin office to sign Debbie's birthday card, ready for her birthday tomorrow.

Yes it is 3 o'clock. Now just sit down and stop embarassing yourself.

I decide to amuse myself by hiding under the counter then jumping out to surprise prospective customers.

Hanging out in HD2 with Gary and Stephen. Dave is probably late for work again.

A change of location today as we move upstairs to see our new Admin Assistant, Mel, and our Contracts Manager, Gwen.

I look full of the joys on a new Monday. Dom skilfully frames the poster advertising the gig at The Old Market by British Sea Power which I'm going to tonight.

I'm in Newhaven visiting my friend Chris. Not only is he responsible for helping design this website, he is also a budding film maker. Today we're discussing casting for a short film he's written. Chris intends to direct and has enlisted my help to produce the film.

Well it's no wonder we were five minutes late with the photo after that night. The walking wounded drag themselves into work to shake off their hangovers. Lucy and I lean on each other for support to get us through the working day. Good effort Lucy!

And here is Lucy's aforementioned proper massive afro wig! Now has Dom been influenced by Elvis's pose on the wall behind, or is he just psyching himself up for a spot of hedge-diving later on?

The afro wig Lucy's just bought is this big, really! Meanwhile back home preparations are going well for my Big Brother eviction night party. There is food, there is alcohol, and there is a broom handle for us to spin around in the garden when we've all had too much to drink!

Come on Lucy, what we need is a huge big afro wig for my party on Friday night, can you help? This also marks the debut appearance of our new Box Office uniform - the red polo shirts / short sleeved shirts. You'll be seeing a lot more of them from now on.

Bennett's been back in the basement and look what he's found - Top Trumps! Big Brother is going for the double eviction this week, did you think it was going to be Jon and Federico? I didn't.

"Hello I'm Karen, and I am your Duty Manager today. Yes, I am proudly holding a banana in my right hand, what of it?" I love Cotton's puzzled expression in the background.

It must be a hot afternoon if I'm sitting in the garden wearing shorts. Let's take a minute to enjoy these surroundings... by this time next week that birdbath will be in pieces and those bushes will be flattened by a drunken farm boy running around with a blanket over his head.

The French market hits New Road this weekend so the road is closed to traffic and full of stalls selling fresh bread, meats and cheeses. It makes our lunchtime sandwich run that much easier and Dom doesn't stop eating all day.

It's amazing what junk you can find down in the basement of Gary's shop these days. Here's my old mate Stephen who's just returned from India and is now lending a hand to help catalogue all the videos. I can see 5 copies of The Silence Of The Lambs for starters.

Yes I'll just stand here whilst Dom does all the work.

Wednesday 11/06/03 by Lucy Tharme

Have you noticed how my desk seems to have its own micro gravity field which pulls all sweets, cakes and biscuits to it? I swear these Hob Nobs are not mine. Not that I'm complaining, don't get me wrong.

No, it's too late I've spotted the whiteboard now and that means only one thing - Big Brother is on our TV screens again. With the break between football seasons we need to find something else to satisfy our gambling needs, and sadly Big Brother is it. Even sadder, I am the ringleader.

Monday 09/06/03 by Bev Parke

We're all looking a bit shifty today. Cotton's trying to psych out the camera, Bennett seems to have transformed into Ross Noble, whilst I'm just fixated on something amusing at the front counter. And that pesky shirt has surfaced again!

More trashy movies as I'm watching Jason X on DVD. The most scary thing about it was that it ever got made in the first place. Next thing you know they'll be putting Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kruger in the same movie... and I'll still end up watching the damn thing!

Saturday afternoon shenanigans with Lucy and Debbie. It's been a tough old week hasn't it?

Can I get back to reading my book now please?

I quite like this shot of me having a leisurely afternoon shave.

Ahhh, the bad old days before I was given my very own personal log-in, Outlook and internet access. Here I am hijacking Bev's PC so that I can check my personal emails.

Now I've come to bother Bennett for a while.

June is traditionally a quieter month for us in the Box Office. Bands tend to tour in Spring and late Autumn when they've new material to promote, so Summer ends up populated by the big music festivals instead. Here I am letting Polly do all the hard work.

I'm watching the Monaco Grand Prix this afternoon. Juan-Pablo Montoya races home the winner.
