Marcus called himself 'The Irrepressible Dark Horse' in the Dairy Room a few days ago and you'd be forgiven for wondering what he meant. Big Brother was a little confused so while chatting with Marcus in the Diary Room they asked just what it all meant."On the whole I'd rather have gone on Friday. I'm not in it to win it," said Marcus.
"Saying you want to leave doesn't sound like something The Irrepressible Dark Horse would say," interjected Big Brother.
"The Irrepressible Dark Horse does his best work in any situation," began Marcus, suddenly talking about himself in the third person. "I don't have to be here to be The Irrepressible Dark Horse. The Irrepressible Dark Horse is a way of life. It's the spirit of not being repressed, restrained or controlled by anyone. That is me."
Big Brother was silent for a moment. Possibly soaking in the whole zen-like ambiance. "Could you explain more about the philosophy of The Irrepressible Dark Horse?"
"One: try harder," said Marcus immediately. "No matter what you do, always do one more. Do more and that will spread. Two: Always be yourself. And three, you know, try your hardest."
Isn't that the same as one?
"And don't be a tit," added Marcus. "Also the intangible aspects of The Irrepressible Dark Horse are intrinsic to me. I'm born the way I am and I get stuff done. So that can't be taught. It's something you're born with."
"Why intangible?" asked Big Brother. "Could you explain more?"
"Unfortunately they broke the mould when they made me," said Marcus, confidently. "To explain this would go over people's heads. You have to see it, live it, and love it. And then you can respect and understand what it is to be the good old Irrepressible Dark Horse."
"You could try harder," suggested Big Brother.
"I could do," said Marcus, obviously forgetting the number one tenet of his philosophy. "But that would ruin the magic. You have to see it in the flesh."
