HE DOESN'T DO WHITE BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY NOT.

Chris Evans | 15:05 UK time, Tuesday, 18 March 2008

I have an associate. Now first of all how about the word associate...

...always conjures up a certain dodginess in my mind. Arthur Daley had a lot of associates didn't he ? If anyone ever uses that word to me I become immedaitely suspicious. However no need for you to be suspicious here. I have called him an associate purely for his own protection.

This is a man, a white man, who will only go out with black women. No matter what type of non black woman I point out, he will not even begin to entertain the possibility of romancing her. Now, is this racist or is it just a matter of preference ? Can you be racist when it comes to picking a partner. Some men prefer blondes, will only go out with blondes, does this make them prejudice ? Our producer has said from now on she is probably only going to go for younger men, actually what she said was, "Younger men are definitely the way forward." Is any of this morally wrong ? It's just that I wonder why anyone would narrow down their potential for fun so dramtaically.

So here's another thing - I asked my associate this morning, if he were gay, would he only consider black men? To which he replied an emphatic, "no don't be stupid !" Now what's all that about ?

    OO-er strange person - although in my youth I only went for a "certain" type - rich and good looking! Often managed to find the good looking but apart from a couple, the rich eluded me! One of the best looking was my ex - soon discovered not much use if nothing inside a good looking head and I mean nothing! Live and learn!

    Prof Plum - re the Dads Army show - now you will know I am ancient!! Went to see the original cast in London many moons ago and it was the best laugh I had in years - the add libs with Ian Lavender, capt M Sarg and Jonesie were better than the script! Don't know anyone in the audience who didn't either lose all their make up or p** themselves laughing. Being a lady I did neither (I lie, I looked like a Panda)!!

    My birthday this Friday, first day of Spring!!! so as there will probably be no post (any posties out there know?) can I get in early and have my request for ARF(Thursday) Sylvia by Focus.

    Buenos Dias one and all


    When I first read the blog I thought it was going to be about chocolate. Some guy was definetely not a milky bar kid and hated white chocolate.

    Got it wrong. But like chocolate it's whatever floats your boat in romance I suppose.
    But if that romance makes you melt, then go for it I say. Lot's of other chocolate bars in the sea if it don't work out. I like a nutty one myself.


    B's Mum. Bet the original Dads Army was fab.
    Hope you have a nice birthday. Now speaking of Focus I saw them way back when.....

    I once made a comment in middle school that i didnt like black girls (i've since changed my mind- a marvelous encounter with a ugandan girl a few years ago - oh and that half-irish, half egyptian girl...) anyway, yes. It was treated as a quite racist comment. I argued it was no different to not liking short girls, or blondes, or gingas (no offence Chris), but i was told that THIS comment, in particular, was worse. Why?????
    Its worth noting that i grew up surrounded by mixed race kids, and all my best friends were ethnic minorities/majorities. Most people who think this kind of thing is racist seem to have grown up in richer/whiter areas. I think its a middle class weirdness.

    Hello everyone

    Sorry for not blogging for ages - life's been hectic getting my head around the new job (all going fab!), a weekend away in London (Phantom - awesome!) and just being little ole me really.

    I have a "type" - usually tallish, skinny, long hair, scraggly, wear make-up ... the type who look like they need a good scrub down. Men, not women, btw!

    This Thursday I will live out a teenage fantasy - we're off to Wembley to see The Cure!! Yippeee!! When I was about 16 I was going to marry Robert Smith but Mary (nor Robert for that matter) knew anything about it. Bring it on - I am soooooooo excited. Apparently they're on stage for 3 hours .....

    Debbie - how are you chuck? I've been lurking and reading posts and have been meaning to email you to say good luck and be strong. It's been said on here before - it's Mr Nasty's problem, not yours! You know where I am if you need me ...

    Hazel - where the devil are you woman??!!

    Off to a certain supermarcado on the way home to get Easter Eggs for various nices, nephews, God children etc. Hey ho!

    And if I was on Woman's Minute my fave choccy would be Galazy, at room temperature with ready salted crisps (a kind of crisp/choc sarnie combo). Delux. Delish. Salivating as I type.

    Right - let's see if this gets through.

    Love to you all - you lovely people.

    Aw. Cheryl the Diva,

    I wrote a lovely comment, relating above statement to Mr Calvin Harris' song "the girls".... wherein he states rather beautifully, he likes them..... Big, Small, Black, WHite, Chinese, Spanish, English, Fat, Thin, and so on and so forth ... is purely a preference, and I think that mr Evan's has been stirring it ....

    Everything is so politically correct these days... what's wrong with a preference.......

    I have to agree that yes, sady, as well, I have such a filter in place. I will only go out with very good-looking women.

    Like the filter on the Autotrader search, mine works usually around the following order: eyes first, figure second, smile third, lower torso fourth (or second in some extreme cases) followed by upper torso, personality, height, smell and then obviously personality, sense of self, perspective and accountability, etc etc

    Yes I have in my time been called deeply deeply shallow... but theres no hiding away from being true to oneself - whats the point in pretending...

    Annie G - I feel it is your duty to describe the "choccy egg sandwich". I'm seeing two slices of white bread with a fried egg and chocolate spread, or is it a cream egg in between two slabs of Dairy Milk? The mind (and the belly) boggles!

    On the way home I was shocked to hear (just before the 6 o'clock news) CLP and Johnny The Sport Monkey doing crisps and chocolate. I'd only posted that at half five just before leaving work .... I almost upended my Micra in shock. The secret is to get 2 x large ready salted crisps (the ones from Leicester are bestest, methinks) and put a square of milk choc in between (a la sandwich) and then devour it all at once. Trust me - it's heavenly.

    Chilli and chocolate go well together too - I make amazing chilli chocolate muffins when the mood takes me. You can also buy an organic plain choc bar with chilli in it. Great stuff.

    Ooh - there's a rumour doing the rounds that a "³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ sports commentator" is one of the new Apprentice candiates. Mr Johnny Saunders - is it you???

    AND I've been meaning to ask for yonks now .. at the start of the Russell Brand podcast every week now there's a rather "surly" bint warning us all that "this podcast contains Adult material". Can someone please tell me - is it Rebecca "Foxy" Fox? If so, why is Mr Brand hijacking the Drivetime staff (Naughty Nic the Vicar's son, Foxy .... ) - does he have no budget of his own other than for stylists and make up artists??? (Russell - don't panic, I still luv ya!)

    God, I'm rambling now. Best go calm down before Nip/Tuck comes on or else, who knows what may occur!?!

    Good to be back - even if I am a tad crazy of late!

Re chocolate and chillie: when my youngest makes Chillie he always adds a little dark chocolate to the mix - he says it has to be done. He was a chef in a previous life so he knows what he's talking about. As a vegetarian, I can't imagine how that tastes. I much prefer my Hotel Chocolat. Check out their website.

    Greetings Christoof, Greettings BP, Greetings Bloggers Of The North, Greetings Bloggers Of The South, Greetings Bloggers In The Middle Bit,

    Bingow Starre ere (For this week only)

    Christoof man - I can understand your 'associates' standing in love n' lust. I find black women very attractive, there's something about the dark misteriousness & those big dark eyes. Ave always 'ad a thing for dark women meself, but 'aving said that blondes do ave a kind of illuminated charm - nowadays though beggers ain't be choosers so 'ill take any babe I can get - although at present I can't get any!!!!!!!!!!

    Prof Plum - Yes the F1 photos of the airbourne car waz in fact Fisi - lucky 'e didn't roll over but if 'e 'ad all would still be ok - no injuries!

    B's Mum - I did write a F1 write up for the Aussie GP, it's on the weekend blog.
    PS 'appy birthdee for Fridee - That makes you another pisces on the blog, nice star sign!!!!!

    ALL - Ere's some exciting news for this weekends Malaysian GP.
    Yes only a week between GP's - that's 'ow a like it!!!!!!
    The Malaysian GP 'olds fond memories for Fisi as in 2006 it's were 'e got pole & winned the race - it's a track 'e likes so I get a feeling time for PMA again & I think 'e'll definately get a top10 finish possibly up in the top 8.
    Although 2007 wasn't good, 'e was going well until overtaking Mark Webber were they both clashed inter a last corner clan like titans of.... of...... of crashing. Aagin Fisi did a pop up in the air jobbie just like last weekend - 'e's very small & light yer see - 5' something!
    Webber's fault though!
    Malaysia is a faster circuit so might not suit the Force India cars.
    But expect ter see the McLarens, Ferraris, BMWs & Williams all very strong in this race.
    Prediction - Lewis 'amilton another win as 'e too 'as fond memories of this track.
    It was in 2006 that racing in GP2 'e went from 18th ter 2nd overtaking the whole field - it's then that I first noticed 'is special talent!!!

    I'd say Lewis probally 1st, as for the rest - I ain't got a clue!!!!!

    Yes, lets celebrate living in a multi-cultural, multi-racial society. And, yes it's great that anyone can bow down and worship any God (or non God in the case of the Pagans) that they wish. But this is Easter, and let's not forget that without Jesus dying on the cross and rising in glory again, leaving that tomb miraculously empty, then there would be no long weekend or Easter eggs. So the first choice for this evening is obvious - Mott the Hoople and "Roll Away The Stone". Happy Easter Everyone!
