I knew nothing of iDosing until I came home from work one day last week to find my wife seemingly asleep on the sofa. She had her headphones on, but this is nothing unusual as she sometimes drops off while enjoying the soundtrack from Starlight Express, for example.
As I leaned down to wake her, I realised her forehead was glistening with sweat and she was muttering something under her breath: "Ant is eating Dec! Ant is eating Dec!".
Assuming she was just having some horrific nightmare, I ripped the headphones from her head in a panic and, for reasons of convenience I suppose, ffitted them over my own head. I was instantly transported to an insane world of swirling colours where molecules are visible, twitching and vibrating with electro-magnetic energy. And yes, there was Ant from TV's Ant and Dec, and he was indeed ingesting Dec from TV's Ant and Dec.
My wife and I have both recovered now, and we won't be opening attachments on emails from Neil.
