The Randal Report
The Randal Report where old friends Simon & Mel, beg to differ on just about everything, more often than not, over coffee and croissants and sometimes with guests for company. Rarely agreeable but always respectful. With nothing off limits, we aim to prod, provoke and entertain with our own inimitable, individual and sometimes disagreeable perspective on todays’ world.

NOW ITS PROBABLY OF LITTLE SURPRISE IN RESPECT OF THE SUBJECT FOR OUR FIRST FORAY, AS THERE’S NOTHING GETS THE HECKLES UP LIKE A BIT OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE. IT’S BEEN RELENTLESSLY COVERED IN THE NEWS OF LATE AND THAT OF COURSE IS PARTYGATE, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE RELEGATED WALLPAPERGATE, ANOTHER YET UNRESOLVED MATTER OF POSSIBLE IMPROPRIETY, ALL OF COURSE PERTAINING TO OUR PRIME MINISTER MR BORIS JOHNSON. YES, THOSE PARTIES OR NON-PARTIES, THE WORK EVENTS WITH BOOZE AND BAIN MARIES, SUITCASES FULL OF WINE AND MUSIC PLAYING WITH SPINNING OF DECKS WHILST SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SPINNING US YARNS.
A Little About Us
We met back in 2004 as employees of a Real Estate company in London’s East end, although working together briefly we struck up a lasting friendship. We’ve maintained contact ever since and particularly over the last few years, the meet ups over coffee and croissants became evermore regular and lengthy, as neither of us struggle for conversation.
Separated by twenty years, our individual perspective is often vastly different, but where we have diverging opinions, we’re able to disagree, but maintain the intrinsic respect we’ve always had for each other. We’ve wanted to work together again for some considerable time and ‘The Randal Report’ is the culmination; bringing together the spiritual, intellectual and entrepreneurial abilities that define Mel’s character, my creative experience and ability for endless chatter, as I once described myself as being like a vintage wine, easy on the nose, palatable, but if consumed in excess, liable to give you a thumping headache!
