"A choice like that ain't no choice at all."



Deep within the catacombs of a Northern shopping centre there exists a long corridor lined with ducts and huge piping. Walking down it reminds one of a scene from A Nightmare On Elm Street and it is easy to imagine looking over your shoulder to be greeted by the sight of stripy maniac Freddy Kreuger bounding in pursuit with his razors scraping and sparking off the walls and spittle dripping from his burnt lips.

Anyway, at the end after a right turn is a lonely and somewhat ripe service lift and upon entering you are presented with a surprising choice. Neo had his little Blue or Red pills, Alice was asked to "Eat Me" or "Drink Me" and yesterday I too was asked to make my selection. Which button did I pick dear reader? Well let me simply state with a wry smile and a wink that a Gentleman never tells.
