Apparently a bloke called David Walliams, who claims to be a comedian of some sort, has just spent 8 days of his life swimming the 140 mile length of the Thames.
Well maybe it's just me, because I just don't get it. It seems one hell of a waste of 8 days of a life to me.
Alright, I know it was done for 'cherritee, mate' (please use best Smashie and Nicey accent at this juncture), but I just don't see the point. Personally, I'm all 'cherriteed' out and even if I wasn't then Sport Aid and Red Nose Day would be right down the bottom of the list. A load of so called celebs with too much money acting the arse in order to take money from poorer people who most likely can't afford it but are too thick to say no...
And of course at the end of this epic feat of human endurance there were the usual crew of b-list comedy celebs waiting to welcome him - people like Jimmy Carr, Rob Bryden, Lennie Henry, Barbara Windsor and other seriously unfunny people.
Apparently, this completely pointless piece of lunacy has raised over £1 million for 'cherritee, mate, cherritee'. Money that we can now piss down the toilet to administrators, committees and corrupt overseas governments. How much of it actually gets to the so-called 'needy people', I wonder? About as much as the £52 million of our taxes that got thrown to Somalia so that they can afford to fund kidnapping and murder of innocent tourists, I should imagine.
There are a couple of famous sayings that come to mind: "The good Lord helps those who help themselves" and "Charity begins at home".
As far as I can see this was just another turd floating in the Thames...
