This is getting surreal. After the bottom inspection discussion things have gone downhill.
We're in a taxi having a perfectly reasonable discussion about resurrection and I make the perfectly reasonable assertion that I wouldn't mind coming back as Calum Best.
Peter then says(and I quote): 'can you be resurrected in reverse?'
How other-wordly is that?
How can you begin to formulate a response when you are confronted with incomprehensible lunacy?
Please, tell me. CAN you be resurrected in reverse?

Pete and John won 2 and 1 today. We are one ahead with 2 to play.
No further comment on bottom inspection at this stage.

Take a reality check Mr Machray.

Okay it was late-on when you posted this blog, but it just does not make a whole lot of sense.

The guiding principle of the successful blogger must be: If you have nothing to say... say nowt!

If you could be resurrected in reverse you'd be drawn out your grave by pallbearers, or dragged in your coffin from the crematorium hatch, then resuscitated at the hospital, then you'd wake up and find everyone talking backwards (as time is in reverse) but you'd soon be fluent in BackTalk. Then you'd go home to your family and grow younger with them, gradually regaining hair, good eyesight, but losing fatty deposits and wrinkles. You'd have a first childhood to look forward to, ending with breastfeeding and a backward slide into the womb.

Martin Amis's novel 'Time's Arrow' is based on this very scenario (resurrection in reverse). A life lived in reverse. With the added twist that the life is that of a Nazi was crimminal.

Echo Editor

I'm Alastair Machray, editor of the Liverpool Echo. I believe, I truly believe, it's Britain's best paper in Britain's best city. And I'm so proud to be here.

After 26 years is the business I'm happier than ever. Every morning I jump out of bed looking forward to work (well, mostly). Home? It's a war zone.
