Off the beaten track

I have just found something that I have to write about. It isn’t anything to do with BCLC I don’t think and if you go to this site you will realise that I have scuppered my own chances of a ‘bit of excitement’ as my wife is an avid reader of this blog. But I will risk that and your patience by saying something about this. It was in the paper today, well the Metro, so some of you will have come across it at the same time as me.

I know people for whom this would be absolutely ideal. It would make them smile again, it would improve their home life, heck it might even get things back on track with their partners. But if it didn’t they would at least be living something more than the half-life they are living today.

I know that some people will not be able to use something like this responsibly and some people may get hurt but we don’t ban cars because of the odd crash and we don’t ban drink because people get drunk.

I think it’s fascinating and empowering, but not for me.
