I should finish Rainbow?
As far as I can remember, classic TV programme 'Rainbow' lacked a discernible narrative arc. Then again, it's been well over 20 years since I last watched it. I don't find it particularly taxing either, so maybe the fact that you think that a well-educated adult would have trouble with it rather says more about you than me.

Your hilariously intentioned strikethrough appears to have fallen on somewhat stony ground.

Never mind, better luck next time!

You need to be mentally unhinged to be any good at rallying though.
really, really mentally unhinged. A lot of motorsport experts reckon rally drivers would be much faster than any current and most past formula 1 drivers in any vehicle you choose, provided the race was short enough, because after a couple of laps they'd get bored and crash.
