Chris is pondering if to travel forward to a point in time, when Monkey McMonkeynuts Ole Bananas, will publish he's thesis on Shakespearian prose, ( that's Monkey McMonkeynuts)
But because he (Chris Rea) has already meddled with the timeline , he is fairly happy to let evolution follow it's course and let the Monkey get there under its own wiles, if it's too far into the future then he will warp time yet again and intervene.
Could be an entertaining read of you can understand monkey 🐒

At 1:37pm GMT on 8th November 2024, an accidental reversal of auberge polarity will overload the heisenberg compensators in Chris Rea's time machine, resulting in a freak warping of the multiverse that will superimpose every single one of infinite parallel universes into a single overlapping 'nexus'.
For the tinest quantum of time, an infinite number of gravelly-voiced singers will materialise near the Transporter Bridge, resulting in a singularity that will potentially consume all of existence, but it'll probably all work out fine in the end.

The world's press won't event notice, the US election will still be dominating all news.

Chris Rea is president of the Dixon of Dock Green Appreciation Society.

Before he settled on his bluesy guitar style, Chris Rea sent a demo to John Peel which was more in the style of George Formby - to the tune of Camptown Races: "Who's that chump with a tit on his head? Dixon ... Dixon, who's that chump with a tit on his head? Dixon of Dock Green".

The recording was of poor quality so not all of those words are necessarily accurate.

Chris Rea passed selection to join the police in 1948, butnwas ultimately refused entry when he declined to shave off his beard. In those days the presence of a bewrd indicated the wearer as a criminal, and a goatee beard a criminal mastermind.

Chris Rea claims to hold the land speed record in an Austin Allegro* although this is unauthenticated. All alleged witnesses agree it was a tan colour. The car, not Chris.

*It is not clear whether Chris reckons that he broke the sound barrier in an Allegro or whether he is just the fastest driver of British Leyland's finest.

When he was younger Chris Rea sent off for a pair of x-ray glasses that used to be advertised in boys comics, all because of one of his teachers, to say he was disappointed when he found out that they didn't work is a bit of an understatement.

Think of the fun a young boy could have with a pair of x-ray specs?

Due to the electricity shortage of the three day week in the 1970s, BL paid Chris Rea to use the TURDIS to power the factory where the Allegro was made.

Unfortunately, the Auberge Field weaken all the welds used in the construction of the model, seriously compromising quality. It also affected many workers psychologically, causing them to down tools for the most ridiculous ofmreasons and ultimately leading to the demise of the British car industry.

Chris Rea took the Turdis back to Brighton, 1984, where a sudden huge auberge field explosion destroyed the Grand Hotel, the Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher had a lucky escape, as she had nipped to the loo just before the explosion at 02:54 am, but had just left the bathroom which was badly damaged, leaving her with a blackened face and buttocks, a scorched nightie and melted hair, her beloved husband Dennis managed to sleep through the whole thing, but was confused by going to bed in his room, but waking up in reception, cuddled up to Norman Tebbit, Chris Rea was, rightly, very nearly blamed for this as for a laugh he’d chalked on the wall Chris Rea Woz Ere, but luckily the flame from the Turdis burnt some of the letters of so it read i R a Woz Ere, so the IRA got the blame, and Chris got away with it by the skin of his teeth.

In 1981 Chris Rea got one of those puzzles that is a pair of twisted nails in a Christmas cracker. He still has it, but has never figured out how to do it, despite spending time on it most days. "It reminds me of the inevitability of failure and the futility of existence" he quips.
