I was watching Nick Park's Creature Comforts on my SKY+ box last night. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, a brief history: Wallace and Gromit creator Park created a series of adverts for British Gas, which took the form of an audio interview with members of the public, played over his trademark claymation models of various creatures. Creature Comforts takes the same form; interviews with general folk, played over the top of models which are designed to be caricature of certain aspects of the voice overs (one family, who mention flying to somewhere warm for the winter, are depicted as a family of birds, for example).

Whilst never laugh out loud funny, Creature Comforts is a commendably lovely piece of work. To turn the seemingly mundane ramblings of the British public into genuinely likable on-screen characters is a demonstration of the talent of the folks at Aardman Animations.

However, all this takes me away from the point I was trying to make; a terrifying insight into the way my mind works. One of the characters is a jordie mouse who appears to be living inside a dolls house. In the background, as the mouse marvels at finding himself in such lovely surroundings, is a computer on a stand. A small monitor is clearly visible over one shoulder. Despite my best efforts to not let my mind wander to such subjects, I couldn't help but think "that's bollocks, the resolution on that monitor would be so low that you wouldn't be able to usefully do anything".

I know, there's no hope…
