Goodnight sweetheart

Dear George,

A very good afternoon to you.  It's 12*C outside and partly cloudy.  My train was on time but as i walked from Waterloo east to Waterloo i couldn't help notice the departure board and see that all but 2 trains were 'delayed' and the 2 that weren't delayed were 'canceled'.  I breathed a sigh of relief.  I'm so glad i don't work normal hours, i don't know how commuters do it.

I wouldn't say i was a morning person but i really don't mind getting up early.  I enjoy creeping silently around the house trying not to wake anyone, making tea and toast and sitting in my Pj's.  But i have to say 'mah' favourite thing about getting up early for work is watching old episodes of 'friends' 'Frasier' and 'everybody loves Raymond'.  This morning, to my pleasant surprise there was an episode of 'Goodnight sweetheart'



I love the idea of time travel but i can't help think that it is wasted on Gary Sparrow.  He can travel back in time to the second world war via some kind of time portal he found down a back alley in the East End of London.  He uses this gift to become the worlds first time-travel adulterer.  This is where my issue lies, i think if i were in his shoes I'd do so much more than travel back in time and start having an illicit relationship with a bar-maid.  To make matters worse the pub this young lady works in is only around the corner from Gary's time portal...where's the ambition? He's traveled back in time to have an affair with the first woman he meets, in the first place he walked into...madness!!!!

News i know you'll find interesting George, Dominic West (or as we know him McNulty off of 'the Wire') is doing a play round the corner from where i work and yesterday he was behind me in cafe buying a sandwich while i was in there buying tea.  i resisted the urge to shout out "McNulty you rule" or "Did you really get a boner when you filming that bit when you're having sex with those two Russian prostitutes?".... i said nothing but i think he knew i was thinking it.

Went to pub after work and literally bumped into Reece Shearsmith (him off of 'the league of gentlemen').  I said sorry and he wave my apology away exclaiming it was his fault.  A wee bit later he somehow managed to bump into me again, i tutted and said "oh, you again".  I plucked up the courage to then ask if i might shake his hand and make a fool of myself by lavishing praise upon him, he was more than happy to ablige.  I can confirm he is a very nice man.

Well that's it for now mate.  I hope you are well.  I'll be sure to give you a news update a little later.

Take care buddy.
Yours,
Little Dave
