The madness of King George



It's really strange if you spend some time a bit mad, or under the influence of very strange medicines, you understand that you may be a bit mad but feel there is a very strong difference between being totally insane and being fairly straightforward.

When the madness passes you realise that the space between sense and madness is really a very very thing line indeed, in the last few years we've all been exposed to the likes of Barry Egan and Brendan O'Connor on one hand, George Lee and David McWilliams on the other and Simon Cowell and Kerry Katona on a weird one and they have all been lauded as icons of sanity in a mad mad world.

It's a thin line alright, the thing about all mad people including King George is that they will never feel mad, Brendan O'Connor feels he's a rock of sense, maybe them weird medicines had something going for them after all.
