1. One person fails to look in their mirror and dies. Result 6 hours of chaos on the M48 and M4. We should just clock it up to experience. It's taken me 3 hours to get to work, normally it takes 15 minutes and now my feet smell under my desk. It is a nice day though and I had an hour to take in the views from the new Severn Bridge and have a chat with Annie who hated diving.
2. It does make me wonder what will happen to my little town when they shut the old Severn Bridge. It will happen in time. I give it 15 years. They wont build a new one that's for sure. What happens to a bridge no-one wants anyway?
3. Sven and Nancy are to have a trial separation. Durrr. So what that is essentially saying is that we are going to see if we like our lives better without each other. Of course you will you muppets. Sven's apparently got his pick of ageing supermodels and he's unlikely to think mmm...dis is dreadful, I sink I'll go back to 4-4-2. She should just say, "Sven, look you cock roaming sonafabitch, it's over. Expect the tiny size of your manhood to be printed in the News of the World this Sunday."
4. Fantastic, those BNP cnuts from that documentary have been arrested. I'd like to think they'll be reaching for the soap but I suspect in prison they'll be lauded as heroes. Tell me I'm wrong.
5. I strongly urge you to visit the Disasters Emergency Commitee website and donate to the Sudan emergency.
Amnesty and Human Rights Watch say that they now have direct evidence that the Sudanese government is complicit in supplying arms and funds to the people carrying out these atrocities. From the site: "Refugees are sleeping in the open, they are running out of food and drinking water is scarce. While floodwaters from recent rains are washing human and animal waste into water sources raising fears of outbreaks of disease such as cholera and diarrhoea. For people, particularly children, already suffering from malnutrition and dehydration these diseases can kill. "
And from the Independent If we invaded Sudan nobody would mind and we could do some serious good. Why do we keep worrying about theoretical power plays?
6. A truly magnificent instrument. I own several.
7. I've begun to read Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. Reasonably impressed so far but as someone pointed out to me, there is not alot of dialogue. This is fine by me. There's not alot in my work even though people say it's what I'm best at. People generally talk shite most of the time anyway, I know I do.
8. Steve Bell is a fantastic cartoonist. Nobody draws bush and blair better.
9. Pop quiz. What is the easiest event to become an Olympic competitor in? I've always wondered that. Seriously if I started training next week so that I had a chance to go to the next Olympics, what event should I choose to maximise my chances of going?
10. Last night I wrote the second part to a short story called Full Circle. The annoying thing was that it became so sodding predictable as I was writing it. I hate that and I think that's why people write in twists at the end of shorts because for the most part all of our stories have been told. I will revisit the style for there lies the answer.
Now, where did I put Nancy's phone number...
