Soap Opera Monkeys

Tuesday 23 Feb 2010 7:37 PM

I don`t normally post details about the weird dreams I have online because I don`t want to draw comparisons between myself and the chap at http://www.ulillillia.us who is clearly barking mad (actually that`s a bit unfair as he clearly has some sort of learning disability but even so his site really is pretty extreme!) but the dream I had last night was so great I just have to mention it here, for posterity if nothing else.

The dull parts involved a helicopter chase around Caversham (Ewan McGregor was flying the helicopter as I can`t) stopping briefly to refuel in the car park of The Griffin pub (not sure why they had a petrol pump with aviation fuel there - maybe it was something to do with the Maguire family from Shameless who were hanging around there for some unknown reason).

Anyway, the bit that had me laughing, almost hysterically, when I woke up this morning was a plotline in popular TV soap opera Neighbours involving everyone discovering that respected doctor Karl Kennedy was in fact a super intelligent hairless Orangutan rather than a human being. His Wife Susan and daughter Libby were distraught knowing that they had, respectively, slept with and been fathered by a monkey!

I don’t think I need to say any more, really. That is all.
