Cruise missile

Oh dear! Who decided to launch John Prescott of all people into cruise ship entertainment?

Yes, I know he was once a steward on cruise ships, but (at least according to the Mail) has hardly made a success of his latest foray, that of providing the 'entertainment' on board the Queen Mary II. Who in his or her right mind would have commissioned Prescott, of all people, for this gig? It seems almost beyond belief!

Passengers witnessing his first night have apparently claimed that Prescott:
"gave a stumbling performance, tripping over his words and losing his notes several times before launching into risqué jokes."
Follow the above link for an example of his milder gags, about knickers he acquired for Mrs Prescott...

Altogether, not exactly an impressive start to his new career!

I just hope that the international clientele on board the QM II don't take Prescott as a typical example of British humour - though it has to be said that the standards of lefty 'comedians' on BBC game shows does tend to reinforce such a view...
