On Saturday I got a call from a landlord as one of my former staff had listed me as a referee. This is not uncommon. What was unusual was that I was able to tell the landlord that if she grabbed that day’s paper she would see half a page profile of him, as Young Wellingtonian of the Year.

She seemed duly impressed that this meant he was unlikely to trash the flat and do a runner, so he got the flat.

Possibly it is lucky she didn’t actually check the story, where said person was advocating (only slightly tongue in cheek) that Ariel Sharon should win the Nobel Peace Prize 🙂
