It's probably the result of being fed lots of Marmite when I was a nipper (the brainfood of the gods), going bald in my 20s (so enabling my brain to stop diverting energy into hair growth), and the beneficial influence of 90s indie and shoegazing music. Plus my trusty pile of Glass's Guide annual Car Check Books, which are packed with trivial detail.
