Marlene | 364 comments I like Spock best of the original crew. My comment below should read "knocked off" rather than "looked of."

Mary | 709 comments Seeing as this is Mr Bennet's library I thought nobody would mind if I posted the following-
RIP Benjamin Whitrow
-one of the best (and my personal favourite) portrayals of Austen's Mr B!

Teresa | 313 comments Ah yes Mary I was gutted when I heard. I did like his portrayal very much and he was a great actor all round.

Debbie (dmbrown) | 734 comments Just read Mr. Bennet Has Enough (very short one shot). Loved it! What we all WISH he had done in Pride and Prejudice!


message 1267: by Marlene (new)

Marlene | 364 comments I'm posting this here because I don't remember where the discussion about P&P&Zombies was originally. Apparently, I am remembering incorrectly - my husband did not like it very much - nor did he like the movie. Based on the review I read by (Sheila?) - good for him! But I do remember him being amused by bits of it - or perhaps just at the beginning? Anyway, he's said that he has told many people of his negative impressions of it - why can't I remember correctly??!!?? :-D

Also, yesterday was my birthday, and guess what Dan and the kids got for me?

The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen by Syrie James

The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë by Syrie James

Dan read the last one and preapproved it. He says he'd give it 4 or 5 stars. :-)

Mary | 709 comments Teresa,you've got rheumatism? Can you take something for the pain?

As for the party,us folks from the Emerald Isle can just sit back in our luxurious armchairs and watch the rest party on until we get to share (hog) the limelight when the singsong begins! 😉🎤


message 1296: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments Good one Mary. At this moment in time I'm taking Uisce Beatha for the pain :):)


message 1297: by Mary (new)

Mary | 709 comments Uisce beatha,Treasa? Hmmm!! Interesting solution and a very effective pain reliever! 😉


message 1298: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments I certainly hope so Mary. I've had the pain all day and I feel like crying now. It's just wearing it's so relentless.


message 1299: by Marlene (new)

Marlene | 364 comments Teresa, I've said a prayer for you. I'm so sorry to hear that! My mother has been living in her armchair for a few months because she cannot lie down due to pain!
