Hands up anyone who knows how to peel a potato

If there's one thing I have learned over the last couple of years, it is 'never volunteer for anything'.

When I was a kid and we had a couple of pianos in the house, my uncle used to say that - if ever I should find myself in the army and the Sergeant-Major asked anyone to raise their hand if they could play the piano, I was not to admit to it. He said the thing would go like this:

"Hands up anyone who can play piano."

Gullible private raises hand.

"Right. Follow me. You're peeling potatoes for the next two weeks."

Two years ago, a Board member asked me if I could think of anything that the pub could do for the Bath Fringe and associated activities. I said he had left it too late to do anything worthwhile, so we should speak after Christmas.

About three months after Christmas he asked me again, and I came up with the idea of a video-mapping event (don't ask, just find out for yourselves if you're that interested). Good idea he said, could I organise it?  Yes, I said. That was when my persona was taken over by Linda Snell.

If I had known exactly how much work was going to be left entirely up to me in order to make a 6 minute video a reality, then I would have kept my bloody mouth shut.

I only hope it will be worth it.
