Partly it&#8217;s because I can&#8217;t do anything else. Partly it&#8217;s because I want to do something creative, but I don&#8217;t seem to have any creative skills whatsoever.

I don&#8217;t know why. It&#8217;s like Videodrome, it  has a physiological effect on the viewer, only in the case of ITV2, it doesn&#8217;t create &#8220;The New Flesh&#8221;, it just converts grey matter into a, presumably tasteless, cheese. Hmm, maybe I&#8217;m being too harsh. Maybe it tastes like some really good brie&#8230; I just suspect it tastes like overprocessed American cheese. BTW &#8211; did you know that Americans buy cheddar that is red&#8230;and tasteless ? And they think that&#8217;s proper cheddar.
