Modern humans have a long history of desecrating temples of natural beauty with tawdry circuses in the name of ‘entertainment’, nearly all of which are clumsy attempts at profiteering. I think we are finally seeing that the real ‘entertainment’ is and has been there all along; nature in its grandeur.
I'll admit to being a Romantic though, I love to see God's natural world maintained and directed by human hands to serve us physically and spiritually. I'm a sucker for a Victorian era park.
Hilarious post, especially at the beginning. Mr. Blobby and tales of Crinkley Bottom made it all the way to New Zealand, though the only memories I have of Mr. Blobby are awful ones -- of fear, if I recall correctly.
Naturally, I agree: Noel Edmonds *was* a wanker. To be fair, though, he probably had a serious drug habit to attend to; most people who work in kids TV are on drugs, and I hear coke is particularly popular. And, if my Bristol friends and family are to be trusted on the matter, then it is the Brits in kids TV who are most commonly cokeheads.
You were. In a way, one could say colonialism as per the British Empire was a kind of "going viral", but it's best we don't head down that path, eh? (:

Thank you! I'm amazed our struggles got all the way around the world like that. We were viral before it was cool 😎
