mini-moan: let's see what happens

I feel obligated to write a moan because I have made a promise, but my mind is blank. Earlier I had a fantastic idea for a new post, the ideas were coagulating inside my mind and I could taste it, smell it, hear it. But now I have completely forgotten what that moan was going to be. That brings me to a new moan, how can you just 'forget' something? One moment something is clear in your mind and the next you haven't got a clue, often you mutter the words "I've got something to tell you" and then you are stood there as if somebody has just removed your brain and replaced it with Colcannon (although they forgot to mix in the cabbage).

Now I know how the guy in our company meeting the other day must have felt, he's lucky nobody could see him or it would have been even more embarrassing. And how can somebody not know Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? It's a classic book that has been butchered in two separate film adaptations.
