World of Chig

Quote of the day


Despite the meticulous planning of every detail of today's Jubilee carnival in London, there are some things you can't control. Children, for instance. A small boy from Chicken Shed Theatre Company is being interviewed live on The Mall on BBC TV, by Philippa Forrester, as a thousand kids perform their song 'Together Talking' behind them. He tells her that they're going to do the song again in front of the Queen later, "but we'll only do a short version, because she can't stay awake for very long". Out of the mouths of babes.... Back in the studio with Dimbleby, the woman from Chicken Shed desperately tries to cover their tracks, and says "I don't know where he got the idea that the Queen is too tired. Must have been his mother." Ooh, get you. Are you after a CBE?
