I turned on my television earlier this evening to find some Saturday evening guff on (I think it was called Last Choir Standing or something) and standing next to the formerly lovely Myleene Klass (I went off her when I saw her "interviewing" Boris Johnson when pretending to be Judy Finnigan the other day. I almost felt sorry for him with her vapid questioning on policy) was Roland Rivron. It's not that I dislike him. That would be easy. It's just that I can't quite work out why he's on television. He's certainly not bad at presenting. And people must like him, because you don't get a Saturday night primetime slot if nobody likes you (unless you're Piers Morgan). But he's just instantly forgettable. He's instantly recognisable but nothing he's done has been in any way memorable. There's a vague memory of him being a team captain on an awful music version of A Question of Sport presented by Jamie Theakston, but that's only because I was somehow reminded of it the other day.
I do wish that there was some kind of punchline to this, but there isn't.
I'm alone for the first time in a week. It's... weird. Just like everything really. Some things are amazing. Some are terrifying.
Much has happened. And I have no energy to put any of it into words.

nick knowles and myleene klass present last choir standing. i dont really remember seeing roland rivron anywhere.... xx
Really? Oh for fuck's sake.. Do ignore this then :/
I'm losing it :p
I was just about to comment the same thing, but obviously laura beat me too it. don't get me wrong i don't watch that guff, but the endless trails for that programme can't be avoided if you watch bbc1 at all.
hypothetically, if it was roland rivron, i'd agree that he certainly isn't much of a TV personality. He's more of a face for radio.
The Great Roland Debate rolls on(excuse the poor pun)
Rat Vs Rivron.
What about Roland from Grange Hill?
