Ali G

[gerbie]

The beeb had highlights from this years red nose day. Some funny scenes, some interesting stories on the projects they fund. Still, the highlight was obviously Ali G doing an interview with Posh and Becks. I hadn't seen that one yet, though I read the interview on the web. I just reread it, it is not entirely accurate, they had cut plenty out, though some things I saw I couldn't find in the script. Never mind, it was funny to see somebody asking them all kind of questions everybody is dying to ask them. Then again, with Posh just giggling most of the time and Beckham eloquent as ever (i.e. says fuck all) it was mainly a one man show by Ali G. But he's good at that anyway. I'll put the whole interview in the comment section for those who are interested.

(The crowd's roar reaches fever pitch)
Ali: For charity!
B: Not even for charity! I'm sorry (The ladies in the crowd give a wistful sigh)
Ali: Now Beckham, does you reckon the better the footballer you is, the fitter the girl you go out with?
B: Yes!
Ali: You is the best at football, ya know. So you get Posh. So does Sporty Spice go out with someone from Scunthorpe United?
V: Oi! That's my friend and she's lovely.
Ali: Exactly! Why? Is you tryin to say Scunthorpe is not a good team?
(Crowd goes wild)
Ali: Mind you I heard a rumour she goes out with someone from a netball team. Aiiiight! I'd like to watch dat!(Ali, changing the subject to the Beckham family)
Ali : You is got a little nipper. Do you reckon you is good parents?
V: Yes I think so.
Ali : So when did you teach him to roll his first spliff?
V: I would never teach him that.
Ali : Why not? You should never deny a kid education.
V: Education?
Ali : Alright lets not get into the discussion. So, what's he called?
V: Brooklyn.
Ali: How d'you come up with that name?
V: Well, we found out that I was pregnant while I was on tour in America and we was in Brooklyn at the time.
Ali: For real?
So has you actually done it there?
V: No we didn't do it there, we did it in Denmark, if you really want to know.
Ali: How come you didn't call him Denmark?
V: It didn't have the same kind of, you know?
Ali: That would be a well good idea though what, cos if me and me Julie had a kid, we'd call him Langley Village. His full name would be "The bogs in KFC in Langley Village!"
(Crowd loving it)
Ali: So tell me, does Brooklyn like your music, or is he getting a bit old for it now?
V: Well yeah, he does like music, he jigs about and dances. He's also into football as well, so it's nice.
Ali: Respect, respect. So how old is Brooklyn now?
V: He's nearly 2.
Ali: So tell me, is your little boy starting to put whole sentences together?
V: He's learning the bits and pieces, so yeah.
Ali: And what about Brooklyn?
(Crowd goes wild)
(Ali, turning to more serious matters)
Ali: Is you all contented he'll grow up to be a normal kid?
V: Brooklyn?
Ali: For real.
V: Yeah. Yeah I think so, I mean obviously it's going to be difficult for him, but um?
Ali: Cos he is called Brooklyn?
V: You're called Ali's and that's girl's name - do you find it difficult?
Ali: Ali is very much a boy's name!
V: But you know, I think we will kind of bring him up as normal as we can.
Ali: So tell me, do you want him to grow up to be a footballer like his dad, or a singer - like Mariah Carey?
V: Yeah, I'd like him to grow up to be a footballer like his dad, and I'd like to grow up to be a singer like Mariah Carey!
Ali: Now Posh, I know a lot of people will laugh at this, but is you really posh?
V: I'm not, I got that name because I'd just started as a Spice Girl, you know, Emma was dressed like a baby, Mel C was sporty and I'm like, nice clothes and so I got called Posh, but I'm not really.
Ali: Me heard you was so Posh that you had to be got married before you was pregnant.
V: No I didn't.
(Ali, miming a bump)
Ali: But before it came up.
V: I got pregnant?
Ali: Before? Or was it after?
V: I got married after I had a baby.
Ali: Respects! It's wrong to do it before.
