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!
Funny! Hasn't convinced me to watch Britain's Got Talent on a regular basis though.
ReplyDeleteNor me really, although the early stages with the no-hopers is always amusing.
DeleteI am wondering what made you think of that as a post? I believe they went on to do quite well for a time, though I imagine that when the kid grew up it wasn't such a funny act!
ReplyDeleteI also think that it was only this first audition routine that was funny; afterwards they just didn't cut the mustard.
DeleteI enjoyed it loads and a great way to start Sunday for me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good belly laugh to start the day. Thanks for sharing this Cro. It was delightful.
