bye bye blackbird

Posted by Catherine Jones on January 31, 2008 1:02 PM | 

So farewell then (I feel tones of EJ Thribb coming on) Jason Harborow.
Liverpool has finally waved a - very expensive - bye bye to the erstwhile culture company chief exec this week.
To be honest, I and many others assumed he'd already gone off to whatever new "business opportunities" were beckoning, taking the freebie train sets that littered his office with him.
Last year he said to me - and you'll have to imagine the Chorley accent for this one - "eeh, Catherine, I'm like a phoenix rising from the flames".
Obviously I had to laugh.
But it seems maybe Jase HAS managed to take on the characteristics of the mythical creature which was said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible.
The question is, is there anyone crowing now?
