R.Rev. H.R.H. Cheesespike and 'Electrycal Contraptions.'

Here's a snippet from the Right Rev's memoirs in the 'Wiltshire Days.' Seems to be struggling with the joys of Television and in particular his favourite soap opera viewing.

…aye the wonders of the modern Appliances of Science
doth mesmerize my ancient heart and it is BEFORE GOD
that I doth kneel and give thanks and praise for His Mercy
and the gifts of the ‘Electrytc’ and such devices to transmute
the labours of man.

Aye this wonderment indeed that I have oft pondered
and in partic. the terrifying yet sublime joyes of the
‘Electrytc Televisional Contraption’ which is a box of marvels
and of speculative awe. It is true Strange Phenomenon
that doth manifest itself within a plastyc box and it is as
One admits before the eremitical Wrath of God a Verye
Useful Appliance for the control of grandchildren whose
wealth fare I commend to You Our Father Above and
His Son, the Good Shepherd of all our offspring
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND SAVIOUR
Amen.

Althougheth as of a cruel winters eve as I Struggle with the
contortions of a Verytable Sermon for Evensong it can be
annoying to have youngsters bouncing and whooping as if
whirling dervishes or at worste, possessed by the black
enamours of the Darke Prince himself so help us
Almighty God as One attempts to scribe whilst a programme
on the ‘Electrytc Televisional Contraption’ doth show ‘X-Factor’
and yet when after a toilsome day battling with the demons
of the mind in the local post office And Elsewhere, to then
try to sit down and release the shackles of tiredness whlst
watching a programme on the ‘Electrytc Televisional
Contraption’ about simple and at times violent folke
ensconced in the bear pit of the East End streets of our fair
Capital of The Empire tempers can snap and said children
are brayed and naresay cuffed out of the room so that silence
and contemplation on the plight of those less fortunate in
their urban morass may be enjoyed….

It's interesting to note that there are many notes scribbled on torn out pages from the bible stuffed into the last volume of his memoires relating to the perceived attributes of various tV models, their direct impact upon Christian worship, their ability to distort truth and human function by the 'verytable diabolical practyse of Adervizerment' and their ultimate value to The Godhead.

there were also some irate letters from pensioners over a specific 18 month period complaining about Cheesespike's anti-televisual activities and two bills from Radio Rentals for damage to said sets [all japanese brands] in their High Street shop.
