I am a massive racist
The other day I was walking round some backstreets near Trafalgar Square when I noticed a big black man grinning like a loon at me.

"Awight," he said as I accidentally made eye contact.

I gave him my foulest stare, the one I use for creepy weirdoes who try and talk to me in the streets. This look is full of rage and hate, and I imagine prolonged exposure would result in nosebleeds and death.

Nose in the air, I marched off.

Seconds later I look up at the theatre near me. Creepy black guy seems to be playing Othello in the production.

Creepy black guy is Lenny Henry.

Oh well, he'd be annoying if he were white, too.

Err, right.

Your medal's in the post.

Don't worry - my flatmate is in theatre
she and the majority of her colleagues can confirm that in real life he's an utter horror. Particularly nasty to the bar staff apparently.

Good on ya....
He's a complete cunt. Years and years ago, while my sainted father was alive and we lived in Germany, Lenny Henry came to do his tired act to the troops.
My Dad, as Chairman of the Mess Committee, was in charge of making sure the fatbird-botherer was ok and had everything he needed. He introduced himself thusly "Welcome to RAF ******* Mr Henry, I'm Warrant Officer *****, Chairman of the Mess Committee"
Lenny Henry looked him up and down and said
"so?"

I'd forgotten how much I hated the fucking tool.

Not sure I do anymore though, sounds like a massive cunt!
