Batting for the other side



Steven Davies, who is apparently England's wicketkeeper in some sport called 'cricket', and not a snooker player, has come out to that bastion of liberalism, The Telegraph. Good for him, as the first professional cricketer to come out. It has produced a historic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the above headline as a timely joke. Thanks for that, Mr Davies.

Chig cannot help wondering if Steven Davies was pushed over the edge and out of the closet by his teammate Jimmy Anderson, who made it onto the cover of attitude first, despite not batting for the other side himself. Only a matter of time though before Steven's appearance, I suspect.

Who knew?

Bless his spangly little cotton socks. Ian 'H' Watkins - the one we never did refer to as 'the straight one' out of Steps - has given an 'exclusive' coming out interview to The Sun, in advance of him entering the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight. While most people on Earth knew that he was gay years ago and that he was going out with the male manager of Steps, apparently this is news to The Sun's readers. Guess what the headline is? 'The Only Gay In The Village'. Geddit? He's a gay and he's Welsh! Brilliant! Since Dafydd in Little Britain, all gays in Wales are now living isolated, lonely, downtrodden existences and all gay venues in Cardiff and Swansea have in fact closed down. Let's face it, gay and Welsh. How could H possibly be happy?

Oh well, now that he has sold his story and made some money while the fickle window of opportunity opens briefly for him again set the record straight (every pun intended), let's hope he provides some entertainment for us in the house. Some songs from musicals at the very least. Meanwhile, we await tonight's CBB with interest, to see if the rumours about Stephen Hawking entering the house were just a bizarre joke or one of the most compelling decisions in TV history.
