Who's in the mood for some Stephen Fry?

[beelikej]

Yay: I managed to cross off a lot of stuff on my to-do-list Not all of it, but we can't expect miracles. At least the dishes are done:)

I feel I've done enough to reward myself with some fun in the attic. While I go upstairs to catch up with Doctor Who, by way of a Season 2 (and 3) marathon, I'll leave you in the comfortable company of Stephen Fry. I'd quote everything he said about things he hates, loves and appreciates, but it's much better to hear the man himself:
Room 101 - part 1
Room 101 - part 2
Room 101 - part 3

And for dessert: a lovely French commercial about two men on a plane (no snakes;). Guess the punchline, but know that the English translation is a serious fuck up in my opinion, because it's a negative and cold twist of the original more positive and personal French message. Grrrrr.
Be warned: it's age protected, so you'll have to confirm being an adult or YouTube will not show you (we have to protect the chyldryn!)

Enjoy!

Ahhhh, that was so amusing. Stephen's so clever -- and a lot of that irritates the hell out of me too (even though I'm totally guilty of the Buffyspeak *blushes*). I now wish to watch the Ricky Gervais episode as well, hehe. *pencils it in for tomorrow*

And damn, the other link will have to wait as my dad is sitting right behind me (protecting the chyldryn also means protecting yours truly from embarrassment ;).

I want to memorize his speeches about science and beauty. His adoration for Apple Macs amuses me - I work on both systems and although the Mac is definitely prettier, it's still a computer with quirks and bad habits:)

He can't hold Buffyspeak against us or we will remind him about the fugly plate he had to have (for his mom, aaaaaahw). I giggled when he went all fangirly about that soapguy.

I tried Ricky, but he didn't do it for me. He can be so annoyingly cocky.

Hehehehehe. Well, the clip was shown on Dutch TV at around 19.45 without warning whatsoever as part of the program's 'best of the internet' segment. But of course The Netherlands is a perverted country:) You guys down south are so innocent, never change :-p *waves - hi Tanni's dad!*

I loved that he referenced to Oscar Wilde's quote about the American's violent behavior being caused by their hideous wallpaper. *sniggers* That quote worked on at least four levels for me! :P

It's true, you're all depraaaaved!
(And dude, don't encourage him! ;)

Ahw, I will go downstairs and keep mum company, she's lonely. (Even I'm apparently 70 posts and about 20 fics behind on my flist :|. Crap. Yay for my day off tomorrow, phew.) Night!

Dito on the quote. *loves Oscar and Stephen*

Yeah I know, I'm so proud of us. So: did you see it yet, did you see it yet?

You are a good daughter. Hope you managed to catch up today:)

I haven't seen it yet, because I'm at work now, and I'm assuming it's not worksafe :P. Ah, to have some alone time, 't would be wonderful!

I caught up yesterday (only took me seven hours, heh) but of course, I can't check LJ until tomorrow morning, so I'll be back to square one. Bugger.

(And ack, my boss was totally going to schedule weekend-overtime for me during the weekend I'm coming to visit! Luckily, I subtly swayed him into letting me work the weekend before that. *is Queen of Sneaky*)

You're assuming right;) I bet you're counting the days; not long now!

Why is it that the flist always seems to get out of control when one is busy with rl?

Eeeep! But did you manage to get time off for Ioan and London? Or does that require more sneakiness? *bows to you*

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Heh, I saws it! And I thought airline pilots were attractive enough with their clothes on! Hee. *amused*

I'm off to ask for time off now, wish me luck!
