Britain's Got Talent? Britain's Got Nutters



Watching "Britain's Got Talent" on Sky Plus last night I couldn't help thinking that the outfit of the old bloke dancing an Irish jig looked familiar. Neil Horan was his name so I Googled him and sure enough there he was disrupting the 2004 Olympic marathon. Horan has attempted to sabotage a number of sporting events and is a defrocked Roman Catholic priest who once wandered onto the track during a grand prix. That ITV gave this lunatic the oxygen of publicity is incredible on its own. That the judges put his dire act through to the next round is totally beyond belief. Whilst on the subject of Horan, when asked his age he told the audience he was 61. This elicited a pat on the head "Ahhhhh" from the audience. Hang on a minute. I'm not that far off 61 and my brother will be 61 in a few months. We aren't at the sympathy stage yet.



At least Britain's kids have got talent with a stunning dance performance by 11 year old Aidan Davis and some fabulous singing from ten year old Natalie Okri a kid who reminds me of the young Michael Jackson. Maybe there's a case for barring anyone over 20 from entering



I've no idea what's going on at Instanta today as me and Marion are on holiday - can't you tell? It's pouring with rain and the forecast is the same for the rest of the week. As Marion's credit crunch campaign continues we are not going anywhere but we have decided to sleep in the spare room for a change of scenery.
