What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I always chuckle when I see someone post something that was told to one person. There’s a person whose PMs I will opt to not reply to going forward. FFS.

It does continue to amaze me at the vitriol directed at the GB, when the PG is very similar (political extremeposting aside). The GB actually feels more honest.

I've read both of those books, they are wonderful selections! I just downloaded a book called The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It looks promising!

I have that on my list of books to read with my eyes!

Personally, I’m a sucker for anything read by Stephen Fry, but Hitchhiker’s Guide is particularly delightful. Also, I’m sure you’ve read it already, but…I’ve been meaning to get around to Tommyknockers, as read by Edward Herrmann.
(Disclaimer: I don’t listen to audiobooks much, so there usually has to be a great voice involved to get me to choose that over reading with my own eyes, and 80% of the time, it’s Stephen Fry.)

Seeing anyone mention him always reminds me of an episode of QI coming on the TV and my dad saying "The brother in law is doing alright for himself" apparently my dad worked for his sister's husband in the 80's. My dad is, let's say, naturally skeptical of people but he had a lot of nice things to say about him you could tell he liked him. I've been a fan of his for years and had no idea until a couple of years ago.

My first and most memorable experience with his work was the PS3 game LittleBig Planet. To this day, I can’t read someone saying “aww, bless” without hearing it in his voice.

Dad mentioned how he has a gentle demeanor, and he was great with the horses he said he heard him before he saw him "Hello Mr Horse how are you today?" and yes he does the impression. My dad was a jockey and a stable lad just for context.

It’s always nice to hear when beloved celebrities are just as lovely as their public personas! He is definitely one of my favorites. @Btq97 and I were just watching Qi together over Skype the other day too

I'll admit that one shocked me dad talked about him so much I missed most of the episode he stopped once and we started watching but then he said something on the show that reminded him of something else he said so he started again. It's a great show too

I’d only seen a few episodes of Qi before…I’m not super into the game show format, but I adore him anyway!

Thinking I really need to stop showing people I work with around the boards... which really means I should stop getting caught on here

 

[ShowMeYourSmile]

I’m just looking forward to the weather warming up…I used to enjoy winter but at this point I’m done with the cold…let’s warm up already….

 

[Neanderthal247]

I need a new audiobook to listen to.

What is your favorite genre ?

 

[AmberLGreen]

Whilst I do think that Stephen Fry has a voice that could narrate most things, I don’t think he would be good at reading porn stories.

Who do you think would be good for narrating your favourite porn stories?

Oh.
Gillian Anderson.
Without hesitation.

I do think she would be good

 

[MrMakersMark]

I do think she would be good

For me, she'd be better than good.
Her tone and accent is right up my dark alleyway.

 

[Taegul]

That was a bit much to read. Eww.

 

[Sexy_Singer]

Elvis has left the building.

Grant… I hate to tell you this but….ummm… Elvis left the building a longggggggggggg time ago

I can read deleted comments, just FYI. I agree with you. I just don’t think either board is nastier than the other. The GB has trolls who operate like shock jocks. Without them, there’s no difference. I personally prefer in your face over saccharine.

Most of the GB regulars have moved on. Aside from the iso thread, and above mentioned trolls, there’s little difference now. It’s only those of us who’ve been here a long time who remember how it was.

 

[AmberLGreen]

Fiona Bruce

Voice would be ok but she would probably read her favourite story and not yours

 

[allthetimeitsthere]

Yep runny yolk

Not a runny yolk person, more over well....not sure Airfry method works for me....

 

[allthetimeitsthere]

It depends on size and type but anywhere from £2.75 to £5.50. Those are supermarket prices.

According to ONS, the average price is £3.31

It's official, I'm crossing the pond for an egg...maybe a dozen or so

 

[allthetimeitsthere]

Ermmm... I decline to answer on the grounds I may incriminate myself.

I also MIGHT have used "Heres 10p. Call your mum and tell her you won't be home tonight. You've pulled."

Mmmmm....how romantic..........

It's my tribute to another celebrity who recently passed away.
