I've had a mental block the last few days - stuff's been happening but I can't think of anything worth writing about. Possibly an amateur approach to blogging: people write a lot of junk about nothing and generate successful blogs, books and films out of it (most of Hollywood's 'romantic comedy' output, for starters...)
Actually, it's been a bit of a surreal few days really. Northern Rock goes all 'It's a Wonderful Life' on us, and people are queueing in the streets to get their money back. It does make you wonder, the way everyone's gone into 'ooh Mavis, quick, get our money out of the bank before we lose it', whether secretly the majority of the population really ARE that stupid, or whether they're just going along with it for a laugh. Although that also covers the media which, on Thursday night, led in ominous tones 'Our top story tonight...' before countering it with 'but don't panic', as if that would undo the panic they'd just instilled in the populace.
On top of that, Formula 1's gone all Machiavellian on us, with Alonso allegedly threatening to spill the beans if McLaren didn't make him driver numero uno, and then coming out with it all anyway. Am I alone in thinking Hamilton came out of it surprisingly squeakily clean, btw?
And personally... well, I've not slept properly in about 5 months, so I seem to spend a lot of time wandering around in something of a daze. And my short-term memory's shot as a result. So it all seems a little hazy round the edge, and those weird people you meet out and about really stand out even more.
