I watch about 3 hours of TV a week, but tonight’s “Michael Carroll: King of Chavs” on Channel 4 was genuinely great TV and a very good hour spent.
Keith Allen was doing a fine job of ripping the piss - like a sort of yobby Louis Theroux crossed with Chris Morris (but without being quite such a c*nt as Morris).

I thought it was fresh and original. I mean, Lost is back wasting space in the schedules, Invasion is sucking the life out of me - so this came as a nice change.

While we’re on the subject of Chavs, I was away at the time this was reported, but I’ve only just discovered the bundle of joy that is über-slag Leanne Black.

14-year-old Leanne Black, up in court in Newbury, Berkshire, over her second drink-driving offence (the first occurred when she was 12), arrived at court and threw eggs at the media and then went completely doolally when told she would be serving four months in a secure training unit, followed by four months under supervision in the community. Leaping out of the dock she punched Lesley Gilmore, the prosecutor, in the back, threw a jug of water over the magistrates and their clerk, kicked furniture as she ran around probation officers, swept effects off desks and onto the ground, and screamed abuse at the top of her voice until she was dragged off.

This was right after her solicitor had told the court that she “had her problems under control”. Nice.

And one last pointless fat waste-of-space chav story: The average runner in the London Marathon raised £1,000. There were more applications to run than there were runners. Steve Redgrave raised £1.2 MILLION. How much do you think Jade Goody raised?
Have a guess….£355!
