John McCririck. I'm well aware that saying he's the most repugnant human being ever to have set foot on the planet, I'm not really giving you any earth-shattering news. It's pretty much a given, isn't it? From his habit of referring to his wife as 'The Booby', his point-blank refusal to do anything for himself at all (cooking, cleaning, washing himself - bleugh), to his habit of spending most of his time writhing in his own filth in bed - including eating his dinner there every night - any sane woman would commit hara kari at the thought of spending an evening, let alone a life-time, with him.
What is fascinating, then, is that he has found a woman who is prepared to put up with him. Surely that is proof, right there, that there is someone for everyone. Whilst most of us would forcibly drive a sharp implement through his skull at the first opportunity, she happily puts up with his disgusting behaviour. Amazing. Indeed, if you watched the E4 programme 'Wife Swap: The Aftermath'*, you'd have seen her justifying his behaviour time and time again, and criticising Edwina Currie for her perfectly reasonable frustration. I couldn't help be reminded of a few other individuals who have managed to brainwash others into believing their questionable or unsavoury views were reasonable: David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, Adolf Hitler...
*really I wouldn't normally watch these sort of things. Honest guv.
