It's now actually a good hour and a half after Chico time

Also from Manley & Walker's column today is a report - apparently phoned in by the man himself - that Chico is about to release some "serious" music which he believes will take him to number one.

Chico, for those of you who use your memories to store more important things, was the man shunned by half-wits for giving them a bad name when he appeared on one of the Cowell talent shows or other, milking his weak catchphrase ("It's Chico time") and fifteen minutes for all he was worth.

Mannish and Walker do snurkle in their piece that he's about to appear in a Butlins advert, but if Chico is a washed-up, self-deluded hasbeen, then, erm, why are they giving him space to promote his new record in their paper?
