Is it a bird? Is it a....?

Given the events (or lack of events) at Longleat on Saturday, a strange thing happened at work yesterday.

Being (unusually) the first in the team to arrive at work I was working at my desk when each of my colleagues arrived. Pleasantries were exchanged with the first 2 or 3 colleagues, until one came in and said "Do you know why there is a plane in Reception?".

I had not seen anything, (although I do have a recent history of not seeing planes) and neither had most of my colleagues. Despite previous references to "drug dealing", my colleague appeared in full control of her faculties and remained adamant that she had seen a plane.



Out of a team of 10 only 3 had seen the plane, which (on a later secret visit to Reception) I later confirmed to be a glider with a 40 foot wingspan, and therefore something that was no too easy to miss!!!

I would like to point out that our Reception is quite large, and that it was not something that I had to "step over" as I came into the building, so it had clearly "disappeared" as most of us came into work.

Also, had my interview with the reporter from the Daily Telegraph yesterday, who managed to condense 15 minutes of me droning on, into 180 words of similarly meaningless drivel, which will be appear in print sometime soon.

Having appeared in the New York Times last October, and the Daily Telegraph soon, I will soon be able to add 'newspaper correspondent' to my CV!


STOP PRESS!
Not only have planes been disappearing recently but this evening half of the trains disappeared, considerably delaying journey home.

Oh my God!! ........I've just noticed that my hair and teeth are starting to disappear as well...what kind of conspiracy is this?
