Alex Goldup has broken the world record for voice projection, a spokesperson for the Guinness Book of Records confirmed today. During one recent phone call, the Communications Assistant’s dulcet tones were heard as far away as Inis Oirr (pronounced In-‘Is-Ear) an island off the West Coast of Ireland, home of fictional hero, Father Ted. Wildlife and marine enthusiasts have linked Alex’s vocal resonation to a spate of whale activity off the coast, recently dubbed the ‘Goldup Phenomenon’.
Alex darling, I’ll miss ear wigging on your happy chappy chatter across the office and your oh-so-polite charm offensive launched at all the dirty journos. I will continue to wonder if you are ever in a bad mood. And what it would take to make you throw a real strop.
Maybe instant coffee.
I should have tested that.
Lots and lots of luck with the new job. Don’t be a stranger.
