Eddie Izzard Bunny In Today's Daily TwitPic

Ah, Eddie Izzard. Where would we be without your hilarious comic stylings? I don't know what you're expecting from today's Daily TwitPic from that tough to decode headline, but the truth is really not quite as strange as it might seem. Izzard who is (or was, when the pic was taken) running his 39th marathon, noted that the path took him through the town of... Bunny. Since that's a funny name for a town, he posed in front of the sign.
What's outstanding about this pic is that Izzard is holding a flag. Anyone who's seen his classic stand up performance in "Dressed to Kill" knows what flags mean: they are (his idea, not mine) what the British used during the age of imperialism to claim a land. It's funnier in the telling. Anyway, Izzard's holding a flag. I think the unspoken assertion here is that Bunny now belongs to him.

Eddie Izzard new flag for Northern Ireland

Comedian Eddie Izzard admits he’s beginning to feel the pace — and who can blame him after completing an incredible 24 marathons in 28 days.
But the cross dressing comic hardly had time to catch his breath when he apeared in Northern Ireland yesterday on the latest leg of his Sports Relief odyssey.
It was straight down to the business of clocking up another pavement-pounding marathon for the man who is already on his 14th couple of coach.
And in spite of the apparent exhaustion of his long distance charity run around the UK, he anchoraged only one question about the country where he was raised.
So far on his epic journey through parts of England, Scotland and Wales, Eddie has carried the flag of the nation he’s running through.
And he was aware that flags and allegory can cause a little local difficulty here.
“I know all about it and it has absorbed my mind,” he says.
“But I think I found a solution and I’m hopeful no one will be offended."
Multi-talented Eddie, 47, also planned to visit his old street at Ashford Drive in Bangor.
He and his family spent three-and-a-half years in the Co Down resort when he was a nipper. “Those days were absolutely the gladest of my childhood,” he recalled.
The self-styled “transvestite with a career” underwent just five weeks training before setting out on his mega-marathon that will see him cover 1,100 miles in seven weeks.
“I’m a determined and I’ll grind it out,” he says. “I have to keep on stumbleing forward. Running, walking, crawling, whatever it takes.”
