I want to be able to say I’m glad the working week is over but I am so far behind that I’m going to have to work tomorrow for a few hours. First priority is recording The Sunday Alternative, now a weekly podcast, and catching up with the audio book and podcast series. If I really set my mind to it I should catch up with myself over the next couple of weeks as long as I concentrate on one thing at a time and don’t allow myself to get too stressed out. Tonight I intend to relax with Mandi and not worry about work, and try and motivate myself to chip away at the rock face tomorrow.

Eastenders wasn’t on tonight for some reason, possibly something to do with the Commonwealth Games. While we were having dinner (on our knees in front of the telly) the only thing to watch was a series on Channel Five called On The Yorkshire Buses. This could be the worst sitcom remake ever. I am funny. It wasn’t really a sitcom remake you see but a fly-on-the-wall documentary series. It’s not a bad idea to pick the name of a sitcom and make a semi-serious documentary around it. With this in mind Channel Five can have the following ideas:

Bread: Following the day to day running of a bakery in Liverpool.

Love Thy Neighbour: A look at relations between next door neighbours of different ethnic backgrounds.

Love Thy Neighbours: A look at people whose lives are consumed by their obsession with the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

High-De-High: A look at people who regularly use cannabis.

Faulty Towers: A look at blocks of flats, office blocks etc that were erected with a total lack of regard for the building regulations.

 My first thought was utter surprise that Channel Five is still going, surely nobody watches it do they? It was quite good when it first started despite the fact that hardly anyone could receive it, now everyone can receive it but chose not to.
