4th September 2006.

I woke up this morning feeling a little better but I knew that it wasn't going to last. I couldn't eat any breakfast or lunch but I did manage a haircut, so all is not lost! I am now streamline and trim which is handy as I am leaving a trail of destruction in every toilet I visit at the moment. The speedier, more aerodynamic me is nowhere to be seen at the point when blame is apportioned.

Watching a bit of news today, I noticed that Steve Irwin has been killed by a Stingray. Why oh why did Troy Tempest take one of the Worlds greatest entertainers? I am guessing that he had a barney with Marina, Aqua Marina. In all seriousness, I have watched Steve Irwin and while I did find him slightly too excitable ( all the best for doing impressions of him), I also loved watching his shows. I hated the big fuss about him dangling his kid in the face of a crocodile and thought it was way over the top. The TV is full of tributes about him here and rightfully so. He is kind of a cross between Skippy and Mick Dundee. So, in all seriousness....R.I.P Steve Irwin, all round good egg.

While in the bath I was having a think about him dying and my mind started to wander a little. Then I checked my email when I got out and found the next slanderous message from Scott.

Hmm...bit of a coincidence isn't it? You get to Cairns and Steve Irwin dies? Hmmm

Unquote.

While I am sure that people of Australia won't believe that I dressed in a large stingray costume and got my typhoid ridden ass to the sea at Port Douglas just to kill a famous son of Australian ecology and environmental awareness. But it did make me think. If Steve Irwin is being heralded in such a positive and grief stricken manner, what if another of the Antipodeas greatest figures of the last century met a sticky end?

That is why I am writing this Extra Time Blog Post. I am beseeching the Whole of the UK, not just Scott. Please, if not for my sake, for Australias,

KEEP ROLF HARRIS AWAY FROM BATHS AND HAIRDRIERS!!!

I don't think that Oz could cope if Rolf was to meet his maker at this sensitive time. So it rests upon your shoulders to protect Rolf. Tie him down if you need to. Make sure that he sees another sunarise, early in the morning. Keep him the hell away from any stairways, let alone ones to heaven! The Empire, or what is left of it, is counting on you, UK. Don't let Australia down. Save Our Rolf!
