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!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- 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!
Oh... can't watch it...thanks to BBC worldwide who has blocked it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could watch it on YouTube? All I can add is that it's very funny!
Deletehttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y6pb3
ReplyDeleteHere's a Youtube link that works. Very funny!
Thanks. The BBC are very annoying.
DeleteSo British - it's a wonder the population ever increased !
ReplyDeleteYet the train seems to arrive at Paddington quite regularly.
DeleteThat was my favorite line!
DeleteMe too!
DeleteI can see it, it made me giggle, I like English humour. It is a bright sunny day here this morning, but bone biting chilly! It snowed here 3 days ago but it was too wet to built up - thank goodness - I don't like snow when it goes muddy and black. Have a good day. Greetings Maria x
ReplyDeleteI don't like snow... FULL STOP. It's wet and cold; what is there to like about it. Miserable drizzly morning here; even the dog didn't want to go out.
DeleteSunny day here, 21c with very blue sky.Tomorrow it will be deferent as i heard.
ReplyDeleteI've now just returned from our early (not so early today) walk. It's 13C, drizzling, and damp everywhere.
DeleteBrilliant! Grant and I prefer British humor to that of the USA. SA humor we don't appreciate at all. Thanks for your tip to use Picasa to upload my photos. It worked. Enjoy the rainy, cool weather. We're frying here!
ReplyDeleteJacob Zuma is quite a comedian, but I don't suppose he gets much laughter!
DeleteCan't watch the Harry Enfield Cro as it says it is blocked in this country??
ReplyDeleteIt is an awful wet, dark day here as it was yesterday and the day before. I am beginning to wonder if the sun is still up there.
Try lovelygrey's link above, surely you can see it in Blighty!
DeleteNo wonder Londoners don't like rail strikes.
ReplyDeleteNo trains in Paddington!
Not only Londoners. Trains to Paddington are halted at the smallest signal.
DeleteVery, very funny.
ReplyDeleteAfter two weeks of grey, sometimes rainy days, the sun has appeared. Hopefully it will find its way east and shine on you soon.
You must have our sun, as ours has disappeared!
DeleteToday started out fairly cloudy, but by late morning it had turned into a beautiful day - about 22º, warm and sunny, with just a light breeze. Forecast is the same for the next couple of days. Perfect dog walking weather.
DeleteLove classics. But he's new to me so now I have to go and find more. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHarry Enfield was very big in the UK, but he seems to have disappeared.
DeleteLast time I saw him, he was with Ronnie Corbett, doing the "My Blackberry's not working" sketch. He made a good replacement for the late, much missed, Ronnie Barker.
