Watched Jonathon Ross last night, with David Walliams talking about how he had to cover himself in lard so that he could swim the channel. (Not to mention Jerry Seinfeld who was also on the show). (Sorry, just re-read that, Jerry wasn't smeared with lard,more's the pity, but he was on the show).
ANYWAY, they showed footage of Walliams meeting the Queen at some reception and mentioning the lard thing when the Queen enquired about how cold it must have been.
'Yes, but it's not as much as fun as you might think' he said, and the Queen laughed.
And I don't think I've seen anything so perfectly resonant of what being English is than that. A brilliant comic, who raised £1m for comic relief by swimming the channel, sitting next to a delicious, bald, gay comic (Matt Lucas), who didn't, explaining how he made the Queen laugh about smearing himself in lard.
A perfect juxtaposition of Englishness.

It actually reads as if he covered himself in lard AND Jerry Seinfeld.
And maybe he did - he's quite a big guy, so I wouldn't argue with him if that is what he wanted to do.
