If we going to have smart TVs, can we at least have keyboards and mice for them? Do I have to type everything in through a slow janky arrow button interface for the rest of my life like an idiot?

It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting

What are yours?
My two truths and a lie. Let’s get to know each other better.

1. I was once barged off a pavement in Cannes by Oliver Reed.
2. I grow pineapples in my greenhouse.
3. I’ve cycled from John O’Groats to Lands End.
