Kilroy

When was the last time you saw Robert Kilroy Silk? I bet you can't remember, I know I can't! I think it was a few years ago when he was campaigning for U.K.I.P, but in fairness, I could have been watching him on television yesterday! you see, someone like Kilroy just blends into the fabric of society, you don't notice him, you don't even know he's there, his wife has probably forgotten that she's married to him and his reflection doesn't even bother to turn up in his mirror every morning such is the blandness of the man, and yet he's still haunting my thoughts, he's there in the deep dark matter of my brain, where if I'm off guard he jumps out and shouts, "Kilroy" and then he's in my head again and I can't get rid of him!
He had a pathetic chat show that probably still runs on BBC one, I sent an email to the head of BBC to see if it was still broadcast and he didn't know! he said, it probably is; I was once forced by terrorists to watch his show, a show with topics such as; 'My teenage son uses English instead of grunts; is he gay?' or 'Who's got the silliest tan' (this was a cracking show with Kilroys perma-tan vs a young David Dickinson who had spent so much time around antique furniture he has turned into a mahogany wardrobe) and finally, 'who watches this crap' the answer was no one, which is why he isn't on television any more, which begs the question, 'where is he?' I think that there are some people who are creepy enough to need to have a tracking tag attached to them, Kilroy is a prime example of this needed technology, but then again, I would wager that he doesn't even know where he is most of the time. All I know about Kilroy nowadays is that his shows are now burned in a power station and the energy is used to light the streets of Burnley!
