There is 100 days to go before the ‘greatest show on Earth’ happens. The hype and the fury of publicity especially security measures go into massive overdrive. I cannot wait! You know you are being hustled, like those audience members who go onto the stage to be a patsy for a magician, but you cannot resist the temptation of the seeing how it is done even though you wont see how it is done.
The usual phrase for something like this is ‘smoke and mirrors’ which produces an illusion and while you’re being confused you get robbed and then sent on your way home bamboozled but satisfied that you’ve had fun and participated in ‘glittery, shiny things’.
It is at these types of events that you realise your status in society. Those at the top will be in the best seats in the house and get to see the show live and direct. The lower your rank the further away you are till you get to the point where you see it on a TV in a shop window. Obviously yours truly will try his up most best to gain entry into the posh bits but the odds are looking more and more slim of this happening.
