Ego Trip
I used to be in a band with a singer who was also a part time model for Armani - thus had a somewhat over inflated opinion of himself. anyway, he had an agent, who managed to get him this thing on MTV, and thought it would be a good idea for the whole band to do it, to which we naturally agreed.
After wangling days off work etc, we troop up to Leicester Square with various instruments etc to film this thing only to discover that it's some kind of live talent contest, voted on by a viewer.
Less than impressed, in the first heat we're drawn against two blokes from Newcastle dressed in all white, singing a Boyzone cover. They go first, then we have a chat with the presenter, and do our thing (which doesn't fit in at ALL with the show).
It goes to the vote - tense, fingers crossed etc (from the singer anyway, we were all far too pissed off)...

12 year old Kirsty from Hull decides that the two Geordies win it for her. Cheers for that Kirsty.

We then have to stand in the background for the rest of the show, clapping and waving hands, pretending to be really impressed by the preening shitehawks on display.

After the show, our singer, having a little temper tantrum, decides to start chatting up a fellow contestant. Unsuccessfully. He then moves on to the female presenter, asks her straight off for a bluewhy, and on refusal storms off in a huff.

Twunt.

Length is nothing more than a theological concept.
*Kaboom!* My that was a big cherry....
