I intend to find out. In fact I’m cultivating a healthy interest in foreign affairs, the environment, the mating cycle of the Mongolian dung beatle and anything else which keeps the paper masthead side up.

And why is this? No particular reason, I’m sure there’s lots of fascinating events taking place in the world of football at the moment, I’ve simply taken a life decision to improve my knowledge of other, more cerebral affairs. In a similar vein my carefully considered boot through the front of my telly has reawakened my love for radio, but only serious, weighty, non sports related programming.

I feel a more well rounded, altogether better kind of person already. Women will swoon at the range of my conversation, men nod sagely as I casually display my grasp of world affairs. An appointment to the diplomatic service or perhaps the foreign desk of a major broadsheet newspaper can be merely a matter of time.

In short, I’m enjoying a simply splendid week.
