Every Little Hoax

So no one died – there weren’t even any explosions, in fact, no bombs were actually found. It was just some arsehole being an arsehole.
Terrorism is really irritating – not just because of the inconveniences when using airports or feeling a bit nervous every time you’re at a major landmark, but because when you’re a newspaper columnist and have to write to stuff to deadlines, its really irritating when you’ve written a cracking column, only to have to scrap it because someone got a little bit too irritated that they couldn’t return goods without a receipt or whatever.
For this week’s column, I was planning to re-work this blog entry. I was quite pleased with it – it’s almost like I’m a satirist or something. Unfortunately, this latest Tesco thing has rendered this tremendously out of date. Accusing the NHS of supporting terrorism is like so last week – especially as it looks like the doctors who were arrested didn’t necessarily do it.
So now I need to come up with something new and original for tomorrow. Bugger. Too libellous? Too unsuitable for the printed page? Too geeky? Having to write 500 words a week is hard.
Post any ideas for something I could write about in the comments – it’ll be like brainstorming and working as a team, only I’ll take all of the credit for the end product and forget about you little people when I’m a big-shot columnist.
