A day to remember …

… Tea and buns with Laurel and Hardy: Derek Malcolm on the day he met his comedy heroes | Film | The Guardian. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

We spent almost an hour together before they called for the manager, who took me back to my mother, who was waiting impatiently in the foyer. I will never forget that flat bun, or the stories they told me about appearing on television and being informed that they were being introduced to 6 million people: “That will take rather a long time,” said Laurel. Another of his gags I recall from that day was: “I was dreaming I was awake, but I woke up and found myself asleep.”
