I don't want to worry you but I read earlier this week that there's this satellite floating around the earth and it's a bit broken, to the point where it may fall to earth very soon.
Despite the immense technology at their fingertips the USA's National Security Council say it could hit the Earth in late February or early March, they don't know where and they're not sure whether it contains dangerous chemicals that could potentially stop us breathing which, when you think about it, is quite a bad thing.
They say to put us at our ease if it does crash into us it'll probably fall into the sea as two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and if it misses the wet stuff then the chances are if it does hit land it'll be somewhere remote where some bloke is minding his own business trying to look after a couple of goats.
You get the feeling they haven't got a clue and they can't even be bothered to make up some stuff to try and convince us they do.
Oh and by the way it weighs ten tons and is the size of a small bus. What a relief, can you imagine if it was the size of a big bus.
Then we'd really be in trouble.
So if you wake up one morning next month and where your garden shed should be there seems to be something that looks like the number 25 to Cwmbran service then you've been really unlucky.
Although I hear the market for space junk is quite buoyant these days.
