We have lift-off
We did it - Al Jazeera English is on air.
We went live at 12z yesterday, which was 3pm our time. As you can imagine, things were quite stressful before in the run up, but it all went really well. I did myself proud - and by that I mean I didn't fall over or drop my clicker.
We went out for a few drinks afterwards, but drinking here is quite difficult. I don't mean the actual consumption of alcohol is a problem, more that the hangovers are particularly hairy. I'm going to have to find a new pass-time.
