| Catching Up On Christmas Quizzes |
[Dec. 29th, 2009|02:01 pm] |
Before Christmas is completely gone, I thought I ought to check out what randomness there's been this year in pointless seasonal quizzes.
( Thank You Blogthings )
There might be more in another post :) |

A few days ago, I promised you some Morcambe and Wise, the viewing of their Christmas Specials having developed into a fierce Christmas tradition during the 1970s, one which broadcasters like to follow all these years later. So, here is my version.
( There's No Answer To That )
I tried to find a good copy of their closing the show with "Bring Me Sunshine" complete with their signature skipping off stage, but no luck :( But I hope you like these items. |

Yet more movie trivia. Shut up, it's my LJ.
( Less usual medical uses for a rubber band )
I will be back with more. TV shows, possibly. I suppose I should revisit and put in links to the film entries on IMDb? Hmm. |

| Bundles Of Articles |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|08:02 pm] |
You may recall my mentioning recently in my LJ about a Christmas surprise I was planning on springing on you at some point before the festivities. The waiting is over - I wanted to get this done before Christmas so that anyone spending Christmas away from the Internet (not me, too scary) would have the chance to download these before going LOS.
'These' are five bundles of articles from various news sources in the UK and North America, which I gathered together earlier this year from my newly-discovered sources (thank you, University!). There's a bundle each for Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Fry & Laurie (ie a separate bundle for the two of them together), Robert Sean Leonard, and John Sessions. All the bundles are zipped up in .ZIP files, and the individual articles are in PDFs, with a couple of JPGs in the Hugh Laurie bundle.
The articles vary in length from a single paragraph to several pages, and are a mix of reviews, interviews, profiles and a few brief mentions. There are a few reviews where the writer wasn't too impressed with the overall product, or some major aspect of it, but showers praise on the bundle-subject. Also, these articles tend to be the whole article as published at the time, so you may have to scroll down or flip through to another page to find the review of the TV show or play featuring our bundle-subject.
You may have seen some of these before, in particular the recent items, but they go back a long way. For example, there's a couple of reports covering Hugh's rowing career (he's referred to as 'James Laurie' in some texts, the reporters logically assuming his first firstname is the one he uses), and there's a few about a young teenage actor from Ridgewood, NJ called Robert Leonard.
I hope you like them. These are all on Sendspace, if anyone has problems with Sendspace, let me know of a host you don't have problems with and I'll re-upload.
- Fry & Laurie - 1.03MB, 12 files Download
- Hugh Laurie - 8.27MB, 105 files Download
- John Sessions - 2.13MB, 19 files Download
- Robert Sean Leonard - 2.24MB, 32 files Download
- Stephen Fry - 5.08MB, 41 files Download
If you missed my posting a couple of Christmases ago of extracts from my Fry & Laurie scrapbook, you can see the articles here. This is a real scrapbook of articles I started collecting in the mid-1980s in a ringbinder, scanned for your viewing pleasure. Happy Christmas! |

I made some Christmas icons. Had planned to make more, but I'm posting these now in case I don't get round to it because I'm knitting my scarf or something (on to the second colour block now!).
Preview:
  
All the rest here.
It's our Christmas lunch tomorrow. Somewhere in a tiny village off the motorway, miles away. Wondering if I'm going to get roped into driving, and if that means driving through snow, in roads I've never experienced before, with someone reading a map. Doesn't sound fun. |
