Sigh ...

I went freelance so that I could avoid working until all hours ... At least I am paid for every minute I am there and cabcharges are thrown at me with cheer.

In further proof that the news has become as easy to predict as most American mainstream film plots, I offer the following.

Brammers on Saturday: That was a terrible accident! I'm relieved Massa looks as though he will be all right. I give it less than 48 hours before people are calling for Michael Schumacher to take the vacant drive.

Mr Brammers: *Starts stopwatch*

36 hours later ...

Mr Brammers: You win.

Just watched the sports news on a commercial channel here.

Sportscaster: In astonishing news, voices are calling for Michael Schumacher to return to Ferrari after Massa's shocking accident.

Mr Brammers: That's not news. Stumpy on the sofa broke that three days ago.

Brammers: *Raises moderately stumpy arms in victory*

I have been thinking about it in my five and a half free minutes this week, and I have decided that the sheer thrill of seeing whether or not he can actually do it is worth the entire possibility of disaster ;-)
