Ruined a great show for me. Purrs Gordon & the TT That was the consensus from the show's English fans. Made me glad I wasn't handicapped in that way-- they deprived themselves of a absolutely hysterical comic performance. Apparently, Daphne is just as phony. Yeah, every once in awhile someone would complain about that. I didn't care. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |

yodeled: "Bobcat" wrote Antony LaPaglia And on TV as Frasier fans among us know he was a treat as Daphne's ne'er-do-well brother Simon, slipping into a Brit accent for the part. He did? When? He did sound horribly strangled but I didn't hear any approaching a British accent. Jeanette Wow, it seems like you can pick a fight with this one wherever you go! I thought he was hysterical, and whatever the accent was, he had great line readings.

"Jeanette" had some very interesting things to
say about "go down cellar": Apparently, Daphne is just as phony. Yeah, and she IS British isn't she? She's just hopeless at putting on a Manchester accent. I was convinced that she was American until someone assured me otherwise. According to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005137/ , she was born in Essex, FWIW. Bio info says she grew up in Sussex. -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

As far as I know, in the Army you still get the same overseas pay for being stationed in Alaska as you do stationed in Korea. IIRC, we used to get a whopping $9 when I was in Fairbanks in the late 70's - almost enough to cover the cost for one person to eat at the local Dairy Queen. My first trip off post I stopped in the Dairy Queen and couldn't pay for a shake, cheeseburger and fries with the $10 I had on me - had to settle for Dr Pepper instead of the shake. About half way through my time there McDonalds opened a resturant there (price for a Big Mac 5 cents more than in the lower 48). For awhile, it was the busiest McDonalds in the world, with lines out the door whenever you went there. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
