IF you want to see a classic example of overloading have a look at the global warming bandwagon.
Early blossom, early swifts, early Easter and early to bed have all attracted their doomsayers this month.
Now pray silence for Traffic Lights Man! Marvel as our hero in red, amber and green spandex saves the planet and simultaneously promotes his idea for a sci-fi television series. What?
Well what is right. I have, over the years, received press releases that rival The Prisoner for incomprehensible story lines but Traffic Lights Man, aka R B Newberry, does not just take the biscuit, it takes a whole year of Hobnob production.
Essentially what he is saying is that if none of us had to stop at a traffic light the world would be a safer place, the sky would feel better and all manner of endangered species would adopt the snappy slogan ‘R W Newberry for world president - Archive Island for prime time TV!’
His staggeringly bemusing idea is that if you give people a few miles warning of when traffic lights are ahead and they have fitted to their cars a computer that has the length of each lights phase, the speed limit and how far away the lights are you will arrive on green every time just by pushing a button and adopting the advised speed.
Confused? Me too.
Sadly Mr Nutberry has not got what you might call a working model of his Lightathon or Autophaser or whatever it is called. what he has got is an idea for a television series based on the island if Archive, the only free place on an earth governed by a military dictatorship which is trying to right environmental wrongs.
Tomorrow is Saturday, which is good because I now need a long lie down. And so will you if you log on to http://www.archivillia.com/energy/forthefuture.php
