Chris Eubank

Utterly brilliant. This afternoon I witnessed Chris Eubank being arrested for breach of the peace by Her Majesty's finest, after driving up and down Whitehall (the main road through Westminster, from Charing Cross) in his none-too-tiny American truck cab, hooting the horn and displaying the following message:

BLAIR

Don't send our young prince to your catastrophic illegal war, to make it look plausible!

Brilliant. Just plain brilliant.

You know what - and this is the only time I've ever thought this - Chris Eubank, what bloody decent bloke. I mean he's still a git with a monocle but even so, full respect.

I've never really had any particular opinion of him before, but ditto. I actually couldn't believe what I was seeing. If he hadn't been surrounded by about a dozen cops, I'd have gone up and shaken the man's hand.

If you can catch any news reports, there'll be video footage of it. (And incidentally, the BBC camera man looks just like Mark. Top bloke.)

When ever I think of Chris Eubank I always remember that classic piece of television when someone at Top of The Pops thought it would be really funny to have him hosting it on one occasion. Why??? Well, because that week Suggs got to number 6 with 'Cecilia'. Most I had laughed in ages ...."And now, it'th number thixth, thethilia by Thuggth".

I loved when Dennis Pennis asked Eubank if he had considered writing an autobiography, to which Eubank replied: 'about what?'

Chris Eubank is comedy gold

We should send Chris Eubank instead
