I'm assigning something Very Horrible I'd forgotten about. Piranha Fish! When I was a kid I used to get books from the library about foreign countries (always been a firm armchair traveller ) and one had lots of lurid tales about people eaten by Piranhas. I've always been afraid of them ever since - when I was 10 we went to Liverpool Museum and I was transfixed by the tank of Piranhas, then the guard saw me tapping the glass and told me they'd all get out and bite me! I've just seen a TV show where a man was fishing for them in Guyana and they were huge! He had to hit the thing on the head to stun it. I've just had a childhood fear reawakened

Finally I'm assigning the traffic on my street because the Premiership starts here in 2 hours and its already busy. Can't they catch the bus for once?! Or even walk, as its only five minutes from the station! Argh! But I'll bet Sean Bean will be in the pub down the road later!
