Why are Tuesdays so dull? Years ago I started a Tuesday Survey, the Worlds First Ever, though as it transpired some other ruffian nicked the idea and even got interviewed on television. Life is so unfair. But as it happens his tuesday survey has been forgotten and in any case never answered the question on the lips of the nation - How can tuesdays be made more interesting?

Now I happen to be at a disadvantage. Swindon simply isn't an interesting place. I know the local council and media guru's will probably be demanding my public execution for writing that, but face it guys, Swindon is a mess and you've almost completely wasted the cultural heritage. It's a a mish-mash of initiatives that never get anywhere, which is probably how many motorists are feeling this morning as they queue at junctions during the rush hour.

Clearly then a community inspired Tuesday isn't going to work. I think Swindon must have tried that before once or twice. It's the sort of thing they think of. Unfortunately if you don't live in a local ghetto or decorate the neighbourhood on behalf of your teenage crew, I really don't see much evidence of community at all.

There is however one small light bulb in this dreary grey conurbation. There's a new club for role players, and they even stage a Dungeon & Dragons night. Ye gods that takes me back to my youth. Now if only they'd had the foresight to stage that on a tuesday...

Okay... Who forgot to reward me with an Oscar? Haven't I proven my acting ability in job interviews?
