just back from my mri scan and feeling a bit weird about it - why does a 21st century machine sound louder than a steam train??? i was divested of all my metal before-hand - apparently coins fly round the room like shrapnel - also had to leave my brass buddha behind in case it flew up my nose - there were tests to be done - first on seeing a word on the screen (via an angled mirror in front of my eyes) i had to loudly say the word and then assess whether what i heard back was my own voice, my own voice distorted or someone elses voice - click on the 4 key pad - seemed a little easy as the other voices were out of time but what do i know - then there were faces to be discerned as male or female - went on for ages - then the bastards subjected me to "dot back"
dot back 0 = press the keypad button top right down left when the dots appear
dot back 1 = press for the previous appearance of the dot
and hell--- dot back 2 = press for where the dot was 2 times ago
seriously not easy
it's pretty weird inside the machine - keep head motionless - all the noise and when finished they just threw me out - i needed a debrief really but they just paid my fee and i was off into the wilds of denmark hill
little things....

Mobile phones to work in tunnels this guts me a bit - i had the notion of transmitting radio inside tunnels - firstly the blackwall tunnel that i used twice a day - i was going to set up transmitters so that drivers could tune to, say, radio london to get traffic info if things snarled up - i would then charge radio london for the privalege based on the fact that people would stay tuned to their station once out the other end - oh well

NEWS POKE i'm so excited! - was at denmark hill today hopefully to sign up for a course of cbt - but cbt in a good way? better than that - it looks like i'll get onto the team but it may be 3 months before it starts - so anyway i was answering questions and all was cool - not "let's go back to your childhood childhood childhood" very laid back and designed not to upset - and the trickcyclist was very kind then !!!! OMG "there is a study running for clients that involves an MRI scan before and after a course of treatment" my robot ears sprang up - how's this... i get 10 pounds per hour £15 ono - and a picture of my brain - FAR OUT! - very excited and not atall concerned that the scan will show up a small plastic toy lodged in the grey matter - beat that!
