  • Back from hols and 1,024 emails in the inbox. Bet you can’t beat that. It’s always the same after a period away and it takes me a good couple of hours to shift through what is, if I’m perfectly honest, 95% dross. You may think it’s great being so popular but you’d be wrong. And they’re not all spam offering me four gross of Cialis for $129.99, or a chance-of-a-lifetime opportunity to help some West African whose father has sadly passed away and who needs help getting his secret stash out of the country. No - they’re mostly no-hope press releases from desperate PRs.

  Assuming he want away for 2 weeks that suggests he was sent around 900 useless press releases - or 450 a week or around 90 a day - assuming a five day working week. Or assuming an 8 hour day that's just over 11 press releases per hour - or one press release every 5 mins (if we was only away for a week, it looks even more dire).
