I was sitting on the bus to work listening to Radio 3 on my walkman when the 8.30 am news headlines came. There is nothing strange about this; it happens every day (although, being Radio 3 sometimes a little early, sometimes a little late).

What was strange was that it was yesterday's news.

I would sware that they were the same headlines as yesterday:
  • report published in Strasburg say EU governments probably knew about CIA "rendition" flights
  • Gordon Brown supports Tony Blair's changes to the education policy
  • Seventeen women with breast cancer were misdiagnosed

and so on.

It could be some kind of deja vu; or maybe it is just that by 8.30 I have heard the news so often that it just seems like yesterday's news (although that didn't happen yesterday).

Or maybe I am trapped in some kind of Groundhog Day reliving of my past.

So let's see what happens yesterday, then...

*g*

I was going to mention that maybe the newsreader just had the wrong sheet handed to him/her but that is too prosaic an explanation...

Alternatively, he may be living in a Philip K. Dick novel...

I am sure you are right; it was just that no one noticed! I was listening out for an apology or something... Perhaps they think that no one actually listens to the news on Radio 3!
