It's nearly impossible to do comedy at a music gig, let alone at Wembley and this could have been a disaster. But what an incredible performance from both these men. The jokes perfectly pitched, almost guaranteed to get the (admittedly very on side) crowd on side. Not many comedians will have experienced a reaction like that. They absolutely nailed it, even with sound checks going on behind them.
Wish I'd seen it live, but typically of my group of friends at school, we eschewed anything popular (refusing to go and see ET, I recall, because it was American and popular. We'd booked a holiday cottage in Devon for the weekend and it had no TV and instead of watching Live Aid I was crying on my own somewhere because I didn't think anyone liked me or something like that. I would probably have been sniffy about Smith and Jones at that point anyway (because even former comedy heroes could not live up to the impossible comedic standards we set then), so probably best to see it now for the first time.
Kudos to Smith though, for fucking off to watch horse racing rather than experience this historic day
I was doing Duolingo French on the toilet this evening when my wife shouted, "What's going on in there?" I had admittedly just told one of the characters I loved them on a pretend video call, but only because I was trying to use as many words as possible. Not because I am in love with one of the cartoon characters from Duolingo. And if I was in love with any of them it's definitely not Falstaff the bear, however cute his little tooth looks when he smiles.
Did Catie really think that if I was having an affair I'd be shouting "I love you" in French whilst sitting on the toilet. If I was having an affair, I would say "I love you", probably in English, very quietly, whilst sitting on the toilet.
Though maybe shouting it in French is the perfect cover.
I don't know if she believed me, but in any case it's not cheating to have an affair with a cartoon character. You literally can't have a physical relationship with them. They are 2D. You can't hold them. Or do anything else for that matter. Catie has made her views on me having an affair with a sex robot pretty clear, but she can't object to a digital cartoon of a bear. Not when she sees how cute he is.
Les ours baisent-ils dans les bois ?
I hopes so.
