Well in this time of financial crisis and economic turmoil, I thought I would use these words to distract you (after all, on breakfast today, we did mention that a distraction could sometimes get the job done better!). Anyway, I thought a good way to take our minds of the current curtailment of capitalism was to...worry about something else!
For example I am worrying about Sherlock Holmes. Not the actual creation of Conan-Doyle (former resident of Hindhead), but rather the incarnation which will be presented in Guy Ritchie's up and coming film of the great detective. The fact is that the most famous resident of Baker Street is to be portrayed by Robert Downey jr. Whilst said gent may well be a fine actor, I can't help feeling that the result maybe akin to asking someone like Nicholas Lyndhurst to play Kojak. You know they are good at what they do - but maybe not quite in that part! I will be happy to be proved wrong of course, however the revelation that Jude Law is to play the trusty Doctor Watson caused me to stop thinking about the subject altogether, as the worry was becoming a little difficult to cope with!
And then I worry about Johnny Rotten. Once upon a time he used to sing (well in a sort of growlly, shouty way) of chaos in the land and a higher being saving royalty. Nowadays, he's talking about butter. And for a while he talks about butter in strange tartan bed garments (yes, I know its a throw back to the tartan zip trousers of punk days, but he looks too comfortable now!). He's so pretty, oh so pretty...
And finally - at least for the moment - there's a certain yeast extract spread. If you either love it or hate it...are you actually already slashing your potential profit by fifty per cent. And, if you are, how can you be sure the result will be split down the middle anyway?
You see, forget your credit crunches and your sub-prime loans...there's far more important stuff to worry about.
Have a good week.
