I'm not complaining, btw. We likely could have got away without paying. We didn't because... i) it was very funny to pay 125 quid a boom when we got to use a huge chunk of Marlowe for free. ii) pay creatives. It was mainly i) but we do like that we did our part to keep the Vengabus running.

If only they had more supporters of your caliber. Sure, the Venga Bus may still be rolling but I suspect Venga Airways folded a long time ago.

A bit to the side of this, but were you part of the Vengabean Urban Dead family from the V Hive (offshoot of the WEF)?

Because of your work we now have the precise value of a boom. It's like that physical kilogram weight they keep in Paris, by which we measure all kilos.

I love this story. Pay artists, pay musicians, pay writers et al. Not ridiculous people who are only able to recycle ideas and make them worse somehow.

Whilst on this occasion you could, it's often the case that you can't put a price on doing something just "because it would be funny". I wholeheartedly approve. 😀
