For he’s a jolly good fellow. . .

I was so ill yesterday that I didn’t even remember that it was Eddie Izzard’s birthday.

I think my feelings for Eddie came across pretty clearly in the column I wrote on him last March. You can (re)read it here: http://www.matchflick.com/column/1629

For your post-birthday enjoyment, there’s also a good article out in the Times London, in which Eddie says, “You rack up all the deaths we’ve had — stackloads. That’s one bastard of a God if he’s up there. And why doesn’t he ever shave?” You can read the whole article here: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/comedy/article5670333.ece
