So I didn't have enough material today for a Worst Person Of The Day, so instead, we do something different, the Not Top Plays Of The Day. I have 2 for you today, and I'm not going to rank them, cos the jury's still out on one of these.
The one the jury's not out on is Gemma Collins, who made a political play on her Radio 1 podcast, and made her Essex Girl reputation seem all the more earned. She made a play for becoming Prime Minister. I think you need a political party in that case, and no, that's not the kind of party where you get steadily drunker throughout the night watching the election results as you drown your sorrows. But in her manifesto, is apparently a magic money tree.
She claimed that everybody should have a swimming pool, yeah, good luck fitting that into my studio flat! She also thinks that 3 day work weeks and 4 day weekends should be a thing as wellas Ice Cream for free and sunshine every day. Like politicians could do that! They can't even control themselves, never mind the weather! But for added je ne sais quois, she says she'll change Number 10's famous black door for a pink one! At a guess, it'll either be Fuschia, or DayGlo Neon Pink!!!
The one the jury's still out on is Mike Tyson, who at 54 is coming out of boxing retirement, which is about as permanent as a pro-wrestling retirement, to take on Roy Jones Jr in a special 8 round exhibition match in Los Angeles in September. He's kept in pretty good shape during his retirement, and it's not like it's any kind of title match, so, I'm okay with it, except for one thing. It should be against Buster Douglas, rather than Roy Jones Jr. You remember that Buster Douglas sensationally knocked out Mike Tyson in the 10th round of their 1990 contest at the Tokyo Dome for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. So, there's a nice revenge storyline there, that could be used to... oh that's right, this is boxing, not pro wrestling...
Anyway, those are my Not Top Plays Of The Day.
