Frantic half hour...

Tomos rings from Hong Kong, "I'm going to be on Radio Australia in about 30 minutes!"
Radio Australia?? Radio Australia?? How does one find Radio Australia... have you ever listened to Radio Australia in Australia??
Do a Google and find the website.
Click on 'Tuning In' and Australia.
Get radio and search for 9960, radio doesn't go past 1600.
Click on Listen on the Web, nothing happens.
Ring my right hand computer friend Oren.
He emails me a programme.
Together we download it.
Someone is trying to ring, thinking it might be Tomo I hang up from Oren, it's our friend Corrie so tell her I'll call back, ring Oren back.
We get it up and running and are listening to a couple of young people chatting on the Morning Show.
Quickly ring Rosie and Rip... they're engaged.
Nerys and the boys are on their way over.
Ring Briony at work and she puts phone on speaker phone while we hold our phone up to the computer.
David rings Gwilym on my mobile... always a long job because we don't use it a lot.
So we're sitting in front of the computer each holding up a phone to Radio Australia.
Nerys comes down the driveway.
The young presenters start talking about Tom Griffiths from England... but a true blue Aussie who was one of the many Phantom's in 'Phantom of the Opera' in London, they say his one man show last night was great and play him singing one of the songs from the Phantom.
Shiver, shiver, shiver... shivers down our spine... he sounds just fantastic!
The young presenters are all 'Wow! we should send this to Cameron Mackintosh' and so on then they play a little bit of a Canadian doing the same song but it's just terrible and they say more nice things about our beautiful Tomo!!
We're jumping up and down here in the office... it was such an exciting 30 minutes!
Tomo is on his way home to London right now.
