I’m pretty tired at the moment.
A combination of having a five-month-old son and staying up too late watching (frequently strange) films means that, on the bus to and from work, I’II often enter that weird dozing dream state, where time slows to a crawl and you’re neither fully awake nor fully asleep. The noises around you still permeate your brain but they become ‘dreamified’ and incorporated into a surreal experience.
So the drone of traffic becomes a hypnotic soundtrack to the alien-like jabberings of other passengers. Mobile phone ringtones and the subsequent ‘Hello?’ become radio transmissions through space, and the rhythmic vibrations of the bus itself become the thrust of a rocket’s hyperdrive.
Then the bus brakes suddenly and you jerk awake, slowly becoming aware of the drool on your chin.
Take all that and throw in crisp withdrawal and it’s only a matter of time before I’m subjected to a nightmarish, potato-based experience.
Edit: Oh bloody hell. I've just turned on The Apprentice and it's about making and selling crisps. Currywurst crisps. Lord Sugar, you utter *beep*.
