Celebrity autobiographies always contain confessions, whether they be of a drug taking past, or a dubious history of bulimia.

In keeping with this trend Cherie Blair’s recent autobiography contained the confession that she spent the night with Tony the first night that they met. A lot of women will say she gave it up to early, but personally I can only think that maybe Tony was alright after all. I think that this incident might also be the first recorded use of Rohypnol, though Tony probably used it on himself.  There are only so many experiences you want to endure whilst sober.

I have to wonder though, at what point during the evening did he start chatting her up? I have always thought of Cherie as a ‘ten-to-two’ bird. The one you chat up when all other options have exhausted themselves. I am not being mean, it is just that there is a natural order for such things. That said, one of my friends has had great success by bucking the trend and ‘going ugly early’.

One of the my ex-girlfriends got extremely upset when a bloke tried to chat her up at just before 2am, not because she had a boyfriend at the time (me) but because he hadn’t tried it on earlier even though she was a ten-to-one bird at the very least. You women are truly fickle creatures.

So, do we think any less of Cherie and Tony  as a result of this confession?  Absolutely not.  In fact, it sheds an entirely new light on any young couple you might see getting together in the nightclub of your choice.  Just remember, you could we watching a future Prime Minister and Judge.  So make sure you take a photo.
