Canadians and other North Americans sometimes point out the USA-ans are not the only Americans. So I acknowledge, happily that the English are not the only Brits. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-90619101283859386842012-06-18T05:49:52.668-05:002012-06-18T05:49:52.668-05:00*Waving hand around* Tiny point of information. ...*Waving hand around* Tiny point of information. <b>My</b> time of birth was recorded on my birth certificate, because I was wise enough to be born in Scotland. You are thinking of England and presumably Wales when you refer to "Brits". Not sure about Northern Ireland.<br /><br />In England, the time of birth is noted on the birth certificate for multiple births.Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-11845238300695111392012-06-12T08:22:24.773-05:002012-06-12T08:22:24.773-05:00Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes, that sum is ridiculously exc...Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes, that sum is ridiculously excessive - though I suspect there are even worse/higher examples out there.<br /><br />Already a writer too, eh? He's morphing into something of a Renaissance Man.

I felt the series faded badly with House's irritability irritating the heck out of me...:)<br />I remember in Lord Peter Wimsey (I think - did not web check) and loved him. Years ago.<br />I've been aware of his musicality for a long time now and was awaiting a CD release. Great, great stuff. I truly enjoy both his philosphy and his music and yes, his acting.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-31823215591334894312012-06-11T16:16:35.785-05:002012-06-11T16:16:35.785-05:00RJ Adams ~~ We're on the same page, more or le...RJ Adams ~~ We're on the same page, more or less here, RJ. for me it was the House character I didn't like - we watched a few of the early episodes but they soon became formulaic. Added to that hospitals are the last thing I want to watch masquerading as entertainment - for me they've meant only ever grief (times 3), or nerves. I suppose, as the series was so popular (as in Fry and Laurie), people saw something that was hidden from me -and the husband. <br /><br />Laurie seems to be quite entertaining when he simply talks or writes - maybe he'd do well writing books too. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-5506631015831779922012-06-11T10:05:43.799-05:002012-06-11T10:05:43.799-05:00Like you I'm no great fan of Laurie's acti...Like you I'm no great fan of Laurie's acting. The Laurie/Fry relationship must have had something, given its popularity, but whatever it was left me unmoved. I can tolerate Fry for his obvious intellectual abilities, but that's as far as it goes.<br />What surprised me was Laurie's musical talents. I had no idea he was gifted in that direction. Maybe, he chose the wrong career? ;-)R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.com
