Growl.

My plane back from Rome Ciampino was an hour late and for no particularly good reason. When it finally got us back to Stansted, they made us all get off the plane at the front, presumably so they didn't have to pay for two lots of stairs. The plane got in at eleven pm and we finallymade it to our car an hour later. This is not a big airport, man. Grr.

Then I get home,  tired and dischuffed, to discover that Mark Lamarr has quit Never Mind The Buzzcocks except not really and he'll be back in 2007 (if it hasn't all gone arse over head without him) and joy of joys: Jason Donovan Set To Play Errol Flynn.

If I were not so very tired, if my head had not been aching almost constantly since at least Saturday afternoon, I would give you some indication of how totally fucking stupid this would be. Bitterly, bitterly ironic from my point of view, but totally stupid. Jason Donovan as The World's Most Beautiful Man? Jason Donovan as The World's Most Charming Man? Jason Donovan as The Greatest Swashbuckler To Ever Sail The Studio Seas? I think not. If I were not so tired, I would say more, but I am that tired and all I can say is this: PLEASE GOD NO!

Also: Best Thing Ever: walking towards St Peter's seeing a nun walking down the street side by side with someone wearing a Kurt Cobain t-shirt. Genius. Had I known about this Jason Donovan thing, I might have spent a great deal of time in the basilica praying to the Lord God Almighty for some seriously divine intervention.

Maybe it's God's way of punishing Errol for all his fooling around?

Aah, hell no. Not even God is that cruel.

I dunno about cruel, I just don't think God's that fecking stupid!

Mind you, I'm sure I recall in the deepest recess of my Errol research that Jason's former co-star Guy 'I'm In Hollywood Now' Pearce played Teh Flynn in something or other.

He did. Don't know how well he would have done - he's too beaky-featured. Just because the person is Australian DOESN'T mean they'd be perfect for it, ya know! LOL!

Even i'm agrreing with you on this one! And i'm a renowned boyband teenybopper fangirl... but even so. Jason Donovan is no Errol Flynn

If YOU had seen Jason at Jumpin Jaks Stevenage as I had, you would know that there is little of his former teen idol self remaining. Not the good looks, the charisma or whatever it was that we all fell in love with.

I can't believe it's come to this, really. My first long-ago crush in line to play my dearest, loveliest Flynn. There's no justice.
