Not so naked

I remember one morning, as I was hurriedly getting ready for yet another torturous day at high school I was also trying to watch Johnny Vaughn (in his hey day) preaching the good word on the Big Breakfast. On that day they had this over enthusiastic young guy cooking stuff up in their kitchen. He called himself the naked chef, and I immediately discounted him as a serious individual for so shamelessly adopting such an ugly gimmick.

Jamie Oliver, MBE. I apologise.

I don’t have the time to look up all the details I would like too. But Jamie Oliver continues to impress me, he seems to have remained honest and dedicated despite the fame attributed to him and the extreme pressures and expectation his previous success must bring with it. He seems to be able to shed all expectations and just focus on what he wants to achieve.

I honestly do not think this is a publicity stunt, nor has it ever been. And Jamie seems to be something very rare, and I do not think it will ever be a publicity stunt. Hence I feel like I should add my voice to the chorus of approval. And his only 31. What a brilliant bastard.
