So England has an easy run of it in their WORLD CUP DRAW – allegedly. And I have a plan TO HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY. And it’s all to do with WAXWORKS and CARBON FOOTPRINTS.
Clearly my blog is making an impact. No sooner did I suggest that a GIANT CANDLEWORK NATIVITY SCENE based on the X Factor – with JOE of course now the NEW JOSEPH – should light up Trafalgar Square – and replace the lights of Oxford St and Regent St as a tourist attraction – then Madame Tussuads have released a photo based on the idea.
They have dressed up, or should I say, “cast” their most popular waxworks as KEY PLAYERS in the nativity – and the cast list looks like this.
MARY – Victoria Beckham
JOSEPH – David Beckham
ANGEL OF THE LORD – Kylie Minogue
THE THREE WISE (debatable) MEN – Tony Blair, The Duke of Edinburgh and George W Bush
THE SHEPHERDS – Samuel L Jackson, Hugh Grant and Graham Norton.
BABY JESUS – suggestions please for THE MOST FAMOUS BABY ON THE PLANET.
Church leaders were apparently UNIMPRESSED and said it was DISRESPECTFUL but what they may have not considered is the impact these waxworks could have on CLIMATE CHANGE if they were to be threaded with WICKS and turned into candles.
My friend Angus Burton is concerned about whether the NATIVITY WAXWORKS would ever burn down enough to meet their MELTED MAKER … he feels some tourists might tip them in the fountain – or worse .. stick David Beckham on NELSON’S COLUMN.
That may not be such a bad thing … for GREAT LEADERS need to have COLUMNS … and DB does indeed have a battle before him with the impending WORLD CUP.
