Wedgie time!

Sharing the big day with a sparkling array of luminaries such as the sadly-missed Fenella Fielding, Rock Hudson, RuPaul, Field Marshal Montgomery ("Monty"), Martin Scorsese, Auberon Waugh, "father of method acting" Lee Strasberg, Jonathan Ross, Peter Cox of Go West, Gordon Lightfoot, Danny DeVito, Jack Vettriano and (ahem) Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud, it would have been the (82nd) birthday today of the comic genius Peter Cook.

Coincidentally, as I am (finally, after two years) ploughing my way through a "clean-up" of old blog posts to restore photos (and often videos) that were casualties of deleting my Photobucket account, I stumbled across this one (from October 2010) - which I am re-posting by way of a tribute to the great man...

It's a, it's a, it's a... Wedge?



Now here is an oddity...

"Drimble Wedge and the Vegetations" was an inspired "Swinging Sixties" creation of Messrs Cook and Moore. Does anyone else think this may have been an influence on Mr Neil Tennant?

Bizarre - and I still love it!
