I know I've already commented but I'm commenting again to add that Jo's "Getting on" showed on TV here in NZ recently. It's brilliant. Black as hell but brilliant.

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!
I don't know either I'm afraid, but I know both pics made me laugh, and I really needed a laugh.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were laughing all the way to the bank!
DeleteI don't think these people will mean much to anyone outside of the UK.
DeleteLooking at John Sargeant before I read anything I thought "is that Jo Brand?". Funny isn't it. I like them both, esp. JB's sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteDon't know John Sargeant but they do look alike. Know Jo Brand from QI.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is a good one - a game to play on a wet Sunday afternoon perhaps? Searching the internet for lookalikes. Do you think we all have one?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wish for anyone else to look like me!
DeleteThey both have a real twinkle in their eye. But what on earth is Jo wearing on her head!
ReplyDeleteShe does tend to wears some weird hair adornments !
DeleteWell, she IS a comedienne!
DeleteHer hair of course.
DeleteBryn Terfel and Desperate Dan.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. You'll have to start your own series!
DeleteThey do look remarkably alike, apart from the floor mop on the head!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of either of them.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you say they were from ?
Irish druids need not apply.
