I have been asked to stay on at The Bank, and my six-month adventure contract may well turn into a permanent one. I am filled with awe and terror at the prospect, as the temptation to continue selling out, even after I have paid off my loans (which is why I took the job in the first place), will probably be greater the more responsibility I have at The Bank ( I may have to travel to Scotland next week to negotiate an international oil deal, which is terrifying and cool). So I have set myself two targets: I want to make enough money to buy a submarine (I have a contact who will let me have one for £16,000, and as I don't drive the expense can be justified as a travel necessity); and I want to buy this Megaphone Helmet, currently for sale on eBay for £200. I don't have 200 spare £ at the moment, so that is target no. 2: I want to be able to buy stupid things with no conscience.
Having called the Megaphone Helmet stupid, apparently it comes with shoulder-mounted battery-packs.

Congrats lowndsey on the contract extension, and good luck in Schotland. You really want the megaphone to be powered ecologicaly by some bodily movement, such as a linear dynamo to be placed inside the nostril and powered by repeated flaring. The noise energy created by a jumbo jet during take-off is sufficient only to warm a pot of tea, so energy concerns shouldn't be paramount.
