David Walliams and the Bristly Stinkbridge

CLEVER: But Pippa had no idea what phrase meant KIDS pick up on the unlikeliest things, don’t they?

When bright spark Pippa Thompson heard her parents discussing David Walliams’ mincing gait with pals, she had no idea what they were on about.

But one phrase did stick out: “Bristly Stinkbridge”.

And with those two words, the seven- year- old expertly crafted a book, which has been published, and could be a Christmas bestseller!

Pippa’s proud mum Helen, of Tarporley, Cheshire, said: “I’m a bit reluctant to explain how it all came about.

Minces

“My husband Daniel had some friends round and they were talking about David Walliams’ success. One of our friends asked if he was a gay, as he minces like a gay.

“Daniel, a lawyer, said that Walliams is not a gay and maybe minces in that fashion because he has a ‘ bristly stinkbridge’. I found out it meant the bit between the scrotum and the anus. Daniel is very amusing.”

Top- of- her- class Pippa didn’t know what a bristly stinkbridge was either but as David Walliams OBE is her favourite author – he has FUNNY: Author David is a favourite with kids written a string of kids’ books – she set about writing a story with Walliams as the hero.

In the book, “David” goes across a bridge which collapses into the “stinky” water below.

Pippa said: “I like writing. David Walliams is funny.”

Helen said: “I read the book. It was rather amusing. Daniel said we should publish it as it might make some money to pay for, in his words, ‘ that f** king pony’.”

But last night lawyers warned Walliams could take Pippa to court – for using his name without permission.

Intellectual property expert Miles Cohen said: “He could come down on this kid like a ton of bricks.”
