However, the snooker must have run late, as my little comedy half hour wasn't so. So, I decided to channel hop.
I turned to ITV to see this Pop Idol thing, which I haven't seen before, so I thought I'd watch it for a bit. In case you haven't seen it, there is this real fat bloke on there.
They had a short interview with people saying "why do you want to be a pop idol" etc, and the fat bloke (don't know his name) said something like "I want to be a pop idol becuase I think there are loads of large people like me who have a talent, but are never able to show it off."
And I just thought "Spot on!", all credit to the bloke as far as I'm concerned. It must have taken a lot of bottle to go up there to the audition when you know that pretty much everyone else will fit into the industry stereotype of "Blokes have to be tall, with a six pack, and women have to be blonde haired, with a nice bum and pretty eyes" etc etc.
I didn't get to watch the end last night, so if anyone knows if fat bloke is still in it, let me know, as I want him to win. If he does win, I'll go out and buy the record even if I don't like it, out of proncipal!
So I want fat bloke updates in here please as I won't be able to watch it all the time. I hope he wins, all credit to the bloke.
Still, you are from Hull, so maybe I'm expecting a little too much....
