"What a week! Oh such boundless joy that transports us to the very
heavens! It began with Nicholas Witchell gasping statements such as: 'I
am informed the royal cervix has currently widened to 9cm, and the Queen
is said to be "thrilled" at this level of dilation.' 'The world waits' were the words the BBC put up, and indeed the whole
world was thinking of nothing else. Somali fishermen abandoned their
nets, saying: 'Today I cannot concentrate on mackerel to feed my
village, as we pray that Nicholas Witchell soon brings us news of the
royal head emerging.' In shanty towns of Sao Paulo,
the destitute stopped begging to mark the event, declaring: 'The
breaking of the royal waters certainly puts our trifles into
perspective.'"
Mark Steel in fine form, sinking his teeth into the hysteria surrounding a woman in London giving birth to a baby boy.
