I am not going to make a habit of this...

... but this is another blatant video post in lieu of something more interesting.
Another poem, who knows. Where'er. The. Wind. Blows.

I was feeling a bit down in the dumps tonight.  Even the free delivered (when it's not in a hedgerow, that is) local newspaper didn't inspire as much mirth as it usually does.  I think ordinarily the advert for "LOL Electricals" would have induced at the very least a significant giggle.  Tonight it did not even muster a minor snicker.  The advert for the local football team where they obviously intended to insert something (I am assuming a numeric age, but see below) at a later date didn't even raise a chuckle.  At another time, the headline "Free football for under" and the accompanying text "All home matches from now until the end of the season are free to under _______" (yes, it really did have the underscores) would have registered something on the Snickter Scale.  I don't feel like Chucklin' Tonight. 

So, in an effort to change my languid and somwhat dour mood I turn to a trusted, reliable, ever-ready, friend.  The "Big Train" DVD.  And in particular, the Chairman Mao / Bryan Ferry sketch at the end of Series One - featuring the talents of actor Kevin Eldon (I wonder whatever happened to that picture above the bed of him in the Mao pose? - anyone know?).   I hope that the sketch brings the same enjoyment to you as it did to me. Actually, more so - because.you are worth it, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  Because you are.  

Big Train: Chairman Mao does Bryan Ferry

On a side note, if you have comedic suggestions for the missing word or words in the local football team piece in the newspaper, then please let me know. 

Post a comment with your suggestion.  There are no prizes except for my eternal admiration and gratitude, and the warm fuzzy feeling you'll get.
