The Treeman & Shizz...




Got home after a LONG day at HQ and a meeting which was as long as a giraffe's neck, but not quite as hairy.

My first action was to put on Kerrang! - as I needed rock therapy to put me in the mood to attack a mountain of dishes, which had somehow grown massively over the past few days. I'm sure the neighbor is creeping in with extra ones, just to add extra pain to the misery!

Dishes done - the next task was to put on the TV - perhaps for something light & cheerful, like Buzzcocks, or Torchwood. Sadly - my fingers found Channel 254, Discovery Home & Health, a channel I've previously banned myself from watching. Instantly - I was hooked on the story of the Indonesian Tree Man, a sad guy who's body has been infested with fungus & warts, giving him, suprisingly, the appearance of a tree.

His hands look like bark, with foot-long branch things coming out, and tangled 'roots' everywhere. Pretty sick - but addictive TV, and fascinating science! They were just about to use a saw to remove some of the 'branches' when those fatal words sounded out: "Next week on Extraordinary People!"

Curses!! I'll have to wait till Thursday now!

No real news - but did bang into John Barrowman on Sunday afternoon, almost literally. I was out shopping in Windsor Road, Penarth, (the seaside suburb of Cardiff) - when I noticed two guys - one in jeans & a brown leather jacket. The accent gave it away - it was John.

He was out with his partner, trying not to get recognised. He seemed largely to get away with it. I did resist the temptation to speak...(or am I not totally telling the truth on this minor point!!)

Gotta go....time for The Real E.R!!!

Have a cool week!
