The clip won't play so I can only guess at its content.
A good friend of mine chewed thoroughly, nay, thoughtfully, in a meditative kind of way. What would take some a few minutes to wolf down, some fifteen minutes to enjoy, he'd savour well past the plate's cold-by-moment. It wasn't so much agonizing to watch as vaguely (why?) disturbing. Maybe, of course, he was a cow reincarnated. Have you ever watched a cow chew, from side to side as they do? Puts you in a trance.
He's also very much like an old college friend (who was chucked out). My friend looked very much the same, but spoke with a strong Caribbean accent; an odd mix.

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!

Try to find it on YouTube; I quite expect it'll remind you of your friend.
DeleteKeith has gone full circle and come back as a hipster. Mike Leigh at his best.

DeleteApart from the play itself, it also holds many memories for me as to where I was and what I was doing at that time. (All good).
DeleteIt was very much of its time.
DeleteMy most favourite Mike Leigh play .... even better than Abigails Party and I loved that one too !!! Say goodnight to Prudence !! XXXX
ReplyDeleteMine too Jacqueline; without doubt.
DeleteIf we all chewed for so long there would be no conversation at a table.
ReplyDeleteI like her accent.

If you ever have the time (a wet Sunday afternoon perhaps), it is worth watching the whole play. It'll be something you'll never forget.
DeleteAbsolutely brilliant play, I love it.
ReplyDeleteA classic; one of the best ever.
DeleteThere's nothing like a good dose of discretion.
