I’m sure I put a tenner in the card

The Diary was happy to attend Metro’s third birthday party recently and was more than happy to receive pictures of the event.

Metro, which is up to £7m in debt, managed to scrape together enough money to enlist Boy George as headline DJ. The Diary was disappointed that his record selection didn’t reflect the financial situation. Money Money Money, by Abba perhaps.

Nevertheless, we are happy to publish this picture of Boy George with Metro managing director Mike Anderson. Mike, by the way, is the one on the left, although readers can be forgiven for doing a double take.

Mike is singing Culture Club’s hit, “Do you really want to hurt me?” To which Boy George is replying: “No, but Associated’s board members might.”
