Week of Champions

The last 7 days mighty morphed together Power Ranger style into the fearsome Ultramegaweekathon!!! 
It featured the combined forces of Scottish Opera’s new production of Orpheus and The Underworld, the Vault Art Glasgow exhibition at The Briggait, a guided tour of Quarriers Village, a night at The Stand Comedy Club, Super 8 at the cinema, a 45 mile cycle, attending a talk titled “Art, Money and Value”, watching simulated sex featuring a man dressed in a gimp fly costume, discovering the perambulatory delights of Milngavie reservoir, dining on “authentic south indian cuisine” and having my portrait drawn by The Drawing Devil for the handsome price of £6.66.
The only blot on the weeks topographic copybook was the game of Russian Poolette I was forced into playing for two days, following the “authentic south indian cuisine”. (To quote a friend of mine “ authentic refers to eating the same as people earning 2p a day”) but at least it turned an ordinary journey on the tube into a high stakes, trouser based, thrill ride!
And no matter how debauched the forthcoming Year of Hero’s, and Decade of the Gods, becomes I can be secure in the knowledge that I will remain the image of male perfection whilst my devil painted portrait takes on all my sins. For as you can see, it hath already started working.
