When I was a student we had a comedy night at the university. This was held in March 1995 and was at a time when I was performing stand-up comedy as a younger, fatter and less original-writing sort of a man. A lot has happened since then. Oh yes. Anyway, one of the things we did was we played the song Misty and had a bunch of props gags to make it amusing. When the singer sang "I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud I can't understand", someone handed him a big hardboard cloud, on the back of which was a question mark. It seemed funny at the time.

The cloud lived on and stayed in my room for a few years to be replaced with a better cloud when it was time to make my study in Newcastle. Last week's trip caused me to notice this cloud and bring it back to Reading with me.

Is it allowed? No. It's a cloud.
