STEVE AND PAULA

They was on about that Sir Steve Redgrave in the paper again the other day. I mean I don't know what all the fuss is about. I mean he only rows a boat. And they give him a knighthood! A bleedin' knighthood just for being able to row a boat! I mean I could row a boat when I was ten, there's nothing to it. I wouldn't mind but all he has to do is row it in a straight line on water smoother than a millpond, it isn't as if he as to shoot the bleedin' rapids of Death Canyon in it or anything, or row up Mount Everest backwards in it, he just has to row it. And he doesn't even row it on his own! He has another bloke in with him. Sometimes three other blokes. I mean how do we know he's pulling his weight eh, how do we know what it ain't the other bloke what's doing all the work? I mean he couild be swinging the lead for all we know. All right, he's a diabetic, but there's thousands of diabetics in this country and we don't go on about them all the time, we don't go giving them knighthoods do we, and you can bet your life they're doing something a bleedin' sight more useful with their lives than rowing a boat for a living. I mean it's like that Paula Radcliffe. That long distance runner. She's another. I mean all she can do is run. I could run when I was two. I could run even before I could row and that's saying something. And they go and give her the OBE or the MBE or something. Just for running! And it won't be long before they make her a Dame and it's Lady Paula if Brian Broadside knows anything. I mean it's not as if she does something after she's run, like latch onto a football and belt it into the back of the net like Thierry Henry or hurl a cricket ball down and smash the wickets like Darren Gough, no, she just runs. It wouldn't be so bad if she carried an egg and spoon like we used to do at the school sports, used a bit of skill like, but no. She just runs. Round and round. And round again. And again. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if she had a pair of tits what you watch jiggling up and down while she was running round but she hasn't, I've seen bigger tits on a snake, and yet the TV camera is on her all the time, out on her own, going round and round, titless, while there's plenty of other runners about fifty yards behind her without OBEs but with tits to spare you could be watching. And they give her an OBE! They ought to give me a bleedin' OBE for watching her.
