One moment, I was on my way to interview Ram Abdullah on an investigation into bribery regarding the new waterworks . . . the next minute, I'm picking myself up, still with my cell phone and Blackberry in pocket, and I'm . . . . . . WHERE?

I've been a reporter for 15 years - bylined around the world as Cassie O'Dell - and I've seen some strange things, been under fire, the lot - but THIS? THIS is scary. Perhaps I'm dreaming from that party last night at the Mulcti place? I know I was a tad over the limit, but how can you dream something you've never seen? It's a CGI nightmare, that's what it is . . .
