I may as well only write about blonde moments...

I flopped into the living room, having had enough of debates about whether tapestries are fixtures, and put my head on Mike's lap.

Mike was watching a bizarre fat camp programme. Perhaps now I should point out that Mike used to be - ahem - well rounded, and having dieted to his sexy self (and acquired a not at all shallow girlfriend who loves him for who he is), has developed a fascination for such programmes.

I think, anyway. It can't be that he just likes reality TV. No way.

"Reality shit," I said, stretching, as a mother was told her child was in danger of diabetes. "It's so mean."

"Er, no more so than the X Factor," Mike said, hitting a sore point. Not that I watch that shit.

"Making fat kids go on treadmills so that people can watch their reactions is mean." I paused. "That one there isn't actually that fat."

"Which one?"

"That black one."

"That black one," Mike said, "Is Ian Wright."

Oh I watched that programme!

I'm not a fan of reality tv but watching all that jiggling is kinda hypnotic...

(btw - my Dad said at the time "I though Ian Wright was that white American bloke?")

Fatties camping it up - it's like watching puppies romping on ice. Better, even.

If you found them all parked end-to-end next to the trolleys at Tescos, I shouldn't be at all surprised...

Was this the programme where Ian Wright made the boy cry and had to go explain to the family what he'd done to the child?!
