I did try to signpost a change of something or other with a more descriptive style than usual and there was the deliberate Coupland reference with the brand names but it obviously didn't help. It reminds me a bit of when I was taking a self-portrait for my passport photo. I had the camera on a tripod with a remote in my hand. I did pictures with me smiling, looking serious, aggressive, a bit quizzical, more friendly and so on. When I went to look at them they were all virtually identical. Anyway, it's not meant to be a hoax, sorry if it seems like it is. Maybe I should have made it a bit clearer that this blog entry came about more through speculation than actual experience.

Although whether I'd find it quite so nice whilst unexpectedly tripping is a moot point. Although, come to think of it...(drifts off into nostalgic reverie) It does look lioke a nice tunnel.
