Whatever!
Did anyone see the show "Whatever" on Channel 4 tonight?
Now I'm not usually a prude, though I do harbour a deep-seated resentment of most of today's 'yoof', but if this show reflects the future of television and indeed the state of today's 'yoof' then I thank Christ I'm getting on in years and only have a few more decades to endure.
As I was watching it, I couldn't help but get flashbacks of similar self-proclaimed baddies in the Bad Lad's Army TV show as they cry at the first sign of authority, or quiver when being asked to jump from a height of more than two metres, or collapse after running half a mile.
Maybe I'm just getting grumpier as I get older (37) but I've lost count of the times this week that I've been watching TV while seriously asking myself what the hell am I paying for? I am sick to death of being force-fed the most arid and banal individuals soak their egos into the stench-filled bath of celebrity while producers who really should know better help indulge their deluded minds into believing that they are actually entertaining people.
Now, where are my Wurther's Originals....
