note to self - singing the "i don't gotta pee at corley - i'm gone pee at the watford gap" song doesn't work whilst travelling northbound... is going to lead to an unfortunate bout of geography-related disappointment...
although on the plus side, evidence would seem to suggest that those 'final destination' moments relating to the appearance of a truck carrying planks (with nails in them), pipes and other heavy gonna kill you (albeit in a slightly amusing way) stuff, are much more likely to happen to people in final destination movies...
still always pass the trucks slightly 'wide' on a windy day though...
i reckon that salt mountain (the one by the m6) would make for an excellent, if highly-contrived final destination death scene... by applying a liberal dose of manga, there's probably some way to utilise those little diamond things on the inside lane of the m6 (as you hurtle past the turn-off for the a38)...
but then if you're gonna go manga, i guess you don't really need to go final destination... you could sack off the teens, and the dodgy accidents and just replace them with mech-suits, bad dubbing and huge explosions...
right-on.
the big wind-turbine/propeller thing by the side of the m1 (daventry-ish, around DIRFT) is also mounted on the wonk... for real, when you watch it the rotation does look seriously laboured... this breaking its moorings and going prospecting on the motorway for cars is much more final destination i think...
so here we turn to the soothing influence of radio 4... the afternoon play, its something about an independent school and having tuned in half-way through, there is a definite air of the random to the proceedings... but at least it stopped everything exploding... (at least until the archers comes on!!!)
you can't beat it for delivering random factlets through-out the day either... and nothing beats woman's hour for soothing a traffic jam...
but around corley... we turn it off and let the manga hang-out...
cos its corley after all...
and there has to be rules...
although, if there was no corley, then there would be no "i don't gotta pee at corley" song, and i don't know if the western musical tradition would ever recover from such a loss...
or something...
