    I was flying home from Copenhagen after a university study trip with all my fellow students and tutors. I tried to sleep on the flight as I was knackered but the stewardesses kept waking me up for various things. In the airport I was singled out by security and marched off into an interview room for a grilling on my nationality and purposes of my trip etc. I thought I was in for a full cavity search but they decided I was harmless and let me go. My tutors were still very unimpressed and convinced I was on some kind of wanted list. :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Thanks @BenCotto, @Dovefromabove and @Hostafan1.  I'd begun to wonder if I had been singled  out as a ripe contender for "The Chosen One" but obviously not ;)

    I don't see why not. Why? Never heard of him.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    He was / is in Take That and he simply can not sing. 
    Go to any karaoke in any pub and you'll hear a better voice. To be fair, you can say that of all the Spice Girls too.

    I bet you could. Don't people but elephant or big cat  turd sans glitter even.

    Hmm ... if you think that life rewards talent and hard work then you're heading for disillusionment my dear @Hostafan1 ... it rarely has and rarely will 🤣
