Terry Prone: It’d be easier to get Beyoncé to call over to mine than get an electrician to come around

I need the Renaissance man/woman of joining things up and making sure everything works simultaneously

My computer and printer aren't talking to each other and, frankly, I'd have a better chance of getting queen Bey to drop in to perform a solo spot in my kitchen than I would of getting an electrician to call and sort everything out. Picture: Chris Pizzello/AP

Catherine Butler, once PA to Charles Haughey, once told me she always kept a small wheeled suitcase packed and ready with everything she should need were The Boss to be suddenly called overseas with her in an accompanying role. I am reminded of this as I re-pack freshly laundered clothes in the overnight bag which came in handy when I was hospitalised last week.
