I remember the sketch well. I think the link may have been included with the Wedding invitation as preparation for guests because the facial expressions they got to a tee.
Cro. The sermon at the Wedding is printed in full in today's Times and it makes interesting reading. There is such a difference between content and delivery in it I think.
I was so fascinated by the expressions of the audience, that I hardly listened to the words. However we do remember him using the word 'fire' about a hundred times! It was all good fun.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

ReplyDeleteI find this very funny. I just remembered it yesterday.
DeleteExcept for the part where the pastor handed him the cough sweets which was mildly funny I thought it total rubbish.
ReplyDeleteCro, I've resurrected a piece about Bouillabaise from 2010 on my Poet-in-Residence blog just for you! And any other hot fish soup fans!
DeleteI find it hilarious; I must be one of only a few.
DeleteI'll pop over now to see your page!
I'd never seen that, but I've not been a particular fan of Thackary. Interesting subject for a poem!
DeleteOr even Thackeray.
DeleteI like Thakeray's middle name. Makepeace.
