The Fat Man in Yorkshire and Davo

Doing my usual daily troll around newspaper websites and politics blogs today, I came across an article about grossly fat, ex-deputy PM John Prescott and my eye was caught by a comment about cricket.

 [THERE WAS MEANT TO BE A PICTURE OF PRESCOTT HERE BUT MY BLOG FROZE IN PROTEST EVERY TIME I TRIED TO UPLOAD IT. GO FIGURE]

I saw that in some interview he supposedly said "I am a keen follower of cricket ..." I picked myself up off the floor, got my breath back and quickly killed the web browser. Being as something like the above line is the only qualification John Howard needed to get nominated to the ICC vice-presidency, I became quite frightened.

Now at home I have located and properly read the article (It took some time because I had to retrace my steps - there's no telling what might come up if you just google John Prescott. Yipes. I don't recomment you try it.) and it turns out it was actually our smarmy new, right-wing, public school educated, pretty boy PM that said the above.

Which is no better, I'm still frightened.



And in shit company, is it too late to make this a blog about curling?

Hey, I watched Australia Women against Scotland Women in Curling on tv once. Don't knock it.

I was complimenting curling! Maybe it should be about tennis instead, though. At least I'd have a vague clue what's going on then.

It's hardly a surprise that Cameron follows cricket though is it? Where I work, it's only seems to be people who went to private schools who follow it with any real interest. And not even all of them. It's almost a qualification for being a fan.

It would be amusing if twojags followed it.

It's not a surprise at all, I was more worried about Prescott to be honest.

Who is Twojags?

I see. He is allowed two jags - he is so fat he can't fit into one.
