Well I've been speaking to a producer and his assistant in Germany for the last month, they found me on the internet from my blog about the Oceanos. They were doing a story about the sinking for television and were going over to the UK to interview Moss and Michael, and they wanted to fly me over to London as well so I could be interviewed along with them. However it was just impossible to try and take time off work and I also had Irene and Candice coming over that exact same week, so I decided that I wouldn't give it a miss.
Then the producer phoned me and said that if I could not get time off work then they would fly to Ireland to Dublin and interview me here, wow okay, and they would fly over on a Friday and we could do all the shooting on the Saturday which meant I did not have to take time off work.
Torsten the producer said they would be at my house at 10 on Saturday morning, well they arrived early I had just got out the shower, so panic panic - anyway I was dressed, and OMG winter had arrived suddenly so it was freezing. They wanted to go down to the harbor and do some shooting first and then come back to the house. So I took my car and we drove into town and down along the Liffey, we arrived at one of the passenger terminals but there were all these official looking people who gave us the hairy eyeball.
So off we went to the other side of the bridge and through the Eastlink Toll, and stumbled upon a small rowing & yacht club. The people there were so nice to us and let us film there, it was great fun but freezing! Luckily though the sun was shining. After interviewing me for what seemed eternity, they interviewed Irene - 4 hours later we were still there, neither Irene or I had, had any breakfast so we were starving.
Eventually we headed back to our house after making one stop on the bridge by customs house so they could get some photos, and then home. I headed straight for the kitchen to prepare food for the masses and then it was interviewing again, while they ate they went through all my memorabilia from the Oceanos and took photos and stuff.
They eventually finished at about quarter to five and by that time Irene and Candice had to rush off to catch their plan, but what a day .... I was exhausted last night and fell asleep just after 9. At least this time I am getting paid for my troubles.
I forgot to add that the guys from Germany were so nice and made us feel at ease all the time, really really nice.
