Bear with me. I need to unload this weirdness. I have thought back and this dream was not induced by anything imbibed the previous evening.

So there I am in the school dining hall, ready to eat. Myself, Stan, Matt Colgate and various people I now work with are filing past the hotplate which for some reason is now about 100 yards long. I can’t decide what to have and end up at the other end with an empty plate. For some reason we all exit the hotplate queue at a point roughly where Marlborough House sat. Surprisingly, this is now where my back garden is….and I woke up.

Actually, this is unusual in as much as this was a morning dream. I got up at about 8am, made a cuppa and went back to bed. This is when I had it.

So how has your Bank Holiday weekend been? I have spent 3 long days painting my mum’s bedroom whilst not removing a single item of furniture (don’t ask). It was fun, but I managed to listen to Radio 2 from 8am this morning until about 20 minutes ago because the radio was in an inaccessible corner of the room and I couldn’t re-tune it. Honest. I got 33 points on Ken Bruce’s Popmaster quiz, but only my cat witnessed the thrilling and memorable performance.

The Olympics was fun. For some reason, I was more into it this year than in the past. Maybe its another sympton of growing old. At work, the break areas all have TVs now and I spent far too much time catching a quick glimpse of the Grecian Goings On. Greece looked great and reminded me of my ideallic youth in Cyprus, wherefrom the bronzed Veaseys recently returned. You have to wonder though, with those crystal clear seas, blue skies and shimmering sun whether Manchester ever has a chance in hell of ever hosting the games. Having said that, Beijjing in 2008 hardly promises similar scenes.

I am sick to death of media coverage of grinning school kids and their 15 ‘A’ grade O level passes. No particular reason I suppose, other than a certain camerardery I share with those slightly less successful souls. I am seriously considering going back to college to get 10 or so of my own. I quite fancy some of those A levels too. What say you Sean? I don’t wanna go alone.
