Todays guest is an occasional commenter, occasional golf/drinking buddy of mine, and a constant seller of Horse-bases sexual favours, he is, the Equine Pimp.

Madness has descended on Angry and he is allowing me to rant on his site for the day. Obviously by that I mean that he has clearly gone insane and not that Suggs and crew have just landed on him after falling from a passing plane.
My complaint is a simple one.
Lesley Judd, Janet Ellis, Diane Louise-Jordan, Anthea Turner, Sarah Greene and Valerie Singleton.
These are the women of Blue Peter ‘past’ that I grew up with. In fairness, for a good proportion of that time I had more interest in football than the fairer sex and, even looking back, no one in that list would change my mind.
In a moment of weakness last Wednesday evening I channel surfed onto ‘Comic Relief Does Fame Academy’ (OK, I admit it, it is car crash TV and I couldn’t resist)
“Next up is Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon” announced Patrick Kielty, while trying (and failing) not to look smug.
My quick glance at the TV was instantly followed my jaw hitting the floor moment and a exclamation of “When the fuck did kids TV presenters start looking like that??”
I grew up with sensible, fairly frumpy presenters, yet todays kids get a super-hot blonde in short skirts. How the bloody hell is that fair? It’s not surprising that the teenage pregnancy rate is so high, if horny teenage boys are subjected to so called ’safe’ children’s programs containing such objects of desire. She should be on proper adult TV. Trust me, I know this because I’m now sky+’ing it, for research purposes. I’m sure Blue Peter is high on the favourites list of many young men across the country, I can almost imagine the conversations.
“Mum, I want a TV for my room”
“Not a chance, there is too much filth about today”
“I only want to watch Blue Peter in private.”
“Oh, OK then”
“And some kleenex wouldn’t go amiss either”
Is this the only case of this? Am I failing to remember the hot presenters from when I grew up? From a womens point of view, has John Noakes been replaced by a Brad Pitt look-alike?
Kids today? Lucky lucky bastards.
