Amazing things can happen, when you least expect them.

People really seemed to like the 'death' post. This pleased me a great deal. Really it did. Then it turned out that some people liked the 'death' post so much that they nominated it onto the shortlist for Post Of The Week. Great! And now the post is officially the Post Of The Week #71.

Er...

I am surprised, chuffed, greatly honoured and also a little puzzled, because when I re-read the post now I see how clumsy the whole thing is, compared to Harlan Ellison's original.

Anyway... Sincerely, what else can I say but, thank you all very much.

Bastards! Now I have writers block!

OK, not really, but it is too late to be getting into anything of detail, and anyway, the finger of torment is throbbing. Tomorrow...

1. Jodie's victory in the final of "I'd Do Anything".
2. "Doctor Who".
3. The Pigeon Detectives at the Carling Academy.
4. The ocean of alcohol ingested by my Brother and myself while watching the Pigeon Detectives at the Carling Academy.
5. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".

You can see amazing things if you are in the right place at the right time.

Early this morning I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus. (As opposed to waiting for a camel, Jerry? Oh, do shut up Jerry!) From that particular bus stop you can all the way to the top of the hill. I am no good at judging distances, but it is a long way. So, I stood there. Bored. Gazing up the hill. Nobody around. No traffic. Then, suddenly, I spied a lone figure, in the middle of the road, heading in my direction. The figure was moving at some impossible speed. After 20/30 seconds I realised that it was a guy on roller skates. He was dressed like a Victorian gentleman and was wearing a top hat.

He got closer. He was moving fast. He was all over the road. He jumped around and skated forwards and backwards. When he finally drew level with me, he spun, lifted his hat, saluted me, swerved around the corner and was gone.

Jennifer thinks that I dozed off for a moment and imagined the whole thing. Or maybe a blood vessel burst in my brain and the backfiring synapses created a hallucination? But... No. It really happened.

Amazing.

... And with that I bid thee 'fair thee well'. We are off to London for a couple of days. Back on Sunday. If I happen to come across an Internet cafe, I may well post. Or I may not.

Have a great Easter and I hope that all of your eggs are nice ones.
