It's time! In fact it's past time. Get it out where it can't hurt you any more, kids. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. Unless your confidant is a bit of a loudmouth. Then it's probably doubled.

Have your say on the feedback loop


He indicated left, and pulled his small blue sedan sharply off the road left, through a rusted metal gate hanging loosely open at a useless angle. The driveway was of blue-metal lined by tall grass and through it to his right he glimpsed a rough dog emptying itself in a worried squat. The windows were down, and he winced as he drove through a thick, sweet waft of recent death - probably an off-course wallaby launched abruptly over there from the main road earlier in the week. He watched the dog in his rear view as it moved through the rigid grass toward what might turn out to be the morning meal.
His phone rang. Without even glancing into his lap he knew it was her. No special ring-tone, just somehow the way it rang, by some strange means his phone transduced the urgent stress with which she would have punched his name. "And FUCK YOU" he said aloud as he slowed down to negotiate the well worn cattle grid. "No-" bdddoom "...interest...Ah!" he twisted the volume knob to revel in the song just on: 'Highway to Hell'.
The blue metal gave way to hard-packed red dirt, and the grass was slashed and greener from here. Suspicious cows glared witless queries at the car and the plume of dust now following, then returned unsatisfied with the lack of answers to the lush green leaves between their hooves. Bon declared that he was "going down..." and Angus' red SG screamed over the last few rings of Marie's unanswered ring-tone. It struck him then, with a pleasing tint, that as a Belgian, she might know that the album reached number 14 in her country, one of the highest in European charts at the time, if not the highest. And now he's using it to drown out the lorn cry of her disregarded phone call. Delightful!
