Bleep bloop bleep bloop*

*In the near future, we will all be robots.

Last week I saw a small child pawing helplessly at the glass on a traffic light console.

Time is precious, like a kitten or some gold.

We must none of us waste our time, because there is so little of it about.

(Not the film, the actual E.T.

For reference, E.T.

is about 3 feet tall).

Im quittingGame Of Thrones, we say.

Life, like E.T., is too short!

Publicly announcing that you no longer watch a TV show is as trendy as pogs.

The announcement though, is the easy bit.

In that time you’re able to:travel from the Earth to the moon, just about.

In that time you’re free to:CompleteFallout 3.

In that time you’ve got the option to:Watch a single series ofMasterChef.

A single series ofMasterChefhonestly lasts over twenty hours.

Will save you:About two hundred and fifty hours.

Excellent news if youre a member of the General Dental Council.

It looks quite good.

Will save you:About ninety-three hours, if you stopped watching it before Penny and Leonard first met.

(Not worth it.)

Will save you:one series ofBritains Got Talenttakes up around eighteen hours of your free time.

I mean,youcouldnt do that, obviously.

But in the near future, when youre a robot, fill your boots.
