Why are these dark, forbidding clouds forming ? You'll see ... Many many years ago there was a long-staying Laughing Gull at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. And by an amazing coincidence, my cousin , who lives in Newcastle, had managed to run himself over ... something that takes a bit of ingenuity. So my mum coincidentally rang me up to ask if I would take her to visit him in hospital in ..... yes .... Newcastle. For some reason I said yes with considerable enthusiasm and off we went. So ... I got to the hospital, pushed my mum out of the car gangster-style and hoofed round to the car park with every prospect of seeing the bird. I wandered round various adjoining fields, meeting up with various other disappointed birders who hadn't seen it either. So after a couple of hours I picked up my mum and we drove all the way back. Grrrrr. So what had gone wrong ? Well, it was a silly thing really .... it could happen to anybody...the hospital that my cousin was in was ...er ... the wrong hospital. My only consolation was, those other birders had gone to the wrong hospital too. Over the time it stayed, many people did. That cheered me up considerably. Having found that out, I was too irked to drive all that way again ... until my mum asked me to cart her there again.... so I did. And yes readers ... I did see the bird. But, unbelievably, I went again with somebody else a few days later, getting a free ride, and we went to the wrong blasted hospital again !! Luckily I realised what had happened .... and we finished up in the right place. It was all like some stupid joke being played on us. But why ? And why did lots of other people do the same thing ? Maybe it happened to you ..... Now this song is an absolute blast .... Jupiter Jones und Jana Pallaske mit Nordpol/Südpol .... it's a real blow-you-away, send-you-to-the-wrong-hospital sort of song...hence the title. Here's the "answer" to a puzzle I will set you way way in the future ! It might not be the "best" solution, but it can't be far off. Here we go then ...
