I Can See Clearly Now

The Seventeenth of August Two Thousand and Eleven. Wednesday.

It's HD switch-on day here in Scarborough. Digital retune stuff and all that. Oh, they're telling us it's all for the best but they always say that when they're planning some mind control transmitter thing, don't they? They were all there outside the pound shop in their pink polo shirts and their pink van informing the public. Yes, it's all very suspicious. Robots driving vans, all very freaky.



(Sorry, I don't know if this is a symptom of some mind-control test transmission, but this thought just popped into my head and it's important that I share it with you now. That film, Invictus. Haven't seen it but I know it's about Nelson Mandela and the Rugby World Cup. Or something. But it suddenly occurred to me that it sounds like it's about cough syrup. Doesn't it? Back to your regular programme...)

So, I've stocked up on tinfoil hats and gone and retuned anyway. Oh, I'm big on the HD me and have bought that Humax HD recorder that I was talking about here. It seems very nice, though I'm noticing a few quirks compared with my trusty old Hummy. This new one looks like this.

Anyway, Julia Bradbury's Railway Walks looks really good. But there's part of me thinking should I have spent money that I don't really have on just four HD channels? Mind you, I'll be able to watch Man City in the Champions League on ITV1 HD so that'll be good.

And another thing. Has anybody else got this? On Channel 66 there seem to be transmissions from another dimension. There are all these crazy looking fellows with really huge foreheads staring at each other. Occasionally various animals float past - they seem to have legs but don't use them, instead their bodies are suspended beneath some sort of gas sac thing like a dirigible. It's odd but exceptionally dull - a sort of mutant version of the Big Brother House at three in the morning. I've recorded hours of the stuff but the couple of people I've played it back to have gone insane so I'm thinking of deleting it. Transdimensional stuff seems to take up more room on the hard drive too.

I think I'll have to ask the pink polo shirt people about it.

More soonliest.
