Horace de Vere Cole

Programa 01x13. La biografia d'Horace de Vere Cole és la primera que no comença ni amb una família desestructurada, ni amb assetjament escolar. Horace era refinat, amb estudis, de classe alta, però amb una obsessió per les bromes. Un bromista compulsiu que va entrar en una dinàmica que li va desgraciar la vida.

Een rijke jongeman met een hart van hout. Dat wil zeggen, niet van goud. Hij was niet zo'n goede jongen. Of nou ja, hij haalde in ieder geval een heleboel rare dingen uit. Waar wij dan wel weer hartelijk om kunnen lachen. Pranklegende, inspiratie voor alle hedendaagse sensatievloggers, en eigenlijk best een grappige man. Horace de Vere Cole.

Imagine being born rich enough to spend your life fulfilling your passions … Now imagine your passion was practical jokes. There was a man in the early 20th century who only seemed to want to make people – including himself – laugh. He was a jester who delighted in poking fun of people who are full of themselves. Today, I have the story of Horace de Vere Cole and the Dreadnought hoax on the 164th episode of Sunday Morning Coffee with Jeff.

Cole was a lifelong prankster, but none of his stunts could compare with his scheme to gain access to the HMS Dreadnought by getting his friends -- including Virginia Woolf -- to pretend they were Abyssinian royalty.
