Live Long And Prosper

In Eastenders Steve John Shepherd was accusing David Essex his Dad of murdering his mother 'with your neglect and your wandering eye'. How do you murder someone with a wandering eye? Maybe she tripped over it on the stairs. Maybe it had wandered that far.

I met Paul and Richard in The Swan. Our drink-exacerbated conversation brought all sorts of strange facts to light, for example that Kirk Douglas could climb up his own chin and that the next President of the USA will be Batman. Perhaps we should write a documentary instead of the situation comedy we are meant to be working on.

They still don't have jobs. They have things in the pipeline. I still have a job, for the moment. There, Transplant Week is upon us again, demanding that leaflets and banner stands and other things have to be in place at various destinations RIGHT NOW. It really doesn't help the situation that the theme of Transplant Week this year is 'What are you waiting for?'

Luckily it is quite easy on the system to get proof of delivery, although even this may be confusing. A delivery 'signed for by Vulcan using Saturn' had us wondering briefly if one consignment of leaflets had been shot off into space. Not at all, but there was some question over what this Vulcan had done with them. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was logical.

PS: So it turned out to be, in a sense: he'd put them in the bin.
