wikipedia sadness

I just noticed that on the Wiki ref for Jeeves and Wooster there's no picture and the link for Bertie in the Characters column goes nowhere. There IS a Bertie entry, it's just under a slightly different title and the link wasn't made. And there's no picture there, either. Can we descend like avenging locusts on this oversight?

ETA: I guess someone fixed it so fast that only they saw that link. :)

Haha, way to confuse me :D I clicked in to have a look at that link, and saw the problem - then clicked the edit button and was wondering why it linked wrong when it looked right. I was clicking back and forth for a bit before I thought to refresh the original page, only to discover that someone else had fixed it in between the time I loaded the page and clicked the edit link.

Hee! I didn't edit it, but I guess my plea worked? :)

This is completely off topic. But I've glanced at your icon so many times over the months that I've come to associate you with milky tea in a blue-patterned teacup (sorry!). But today is the first time I've noticed the mousie! That's so bizarre! I'd think the first thing to notice is the mouse perched on the saucer!
I clearly need a Jeeves to point these things out to me!
"If you will excuse me a moment, miss, I will take the mouse outside."
"Mouse? Oh, yes, how did that get there?"
"I believe it came in with the milk, miss. It has left a trail from the cream pot."
"Huh. You didn't notice the big lumpy thing falling into the pot when you poured the milk?"
"Forgive me, miss, if I have mislead you. You recall my mentioning we have a mouse loose in the kitchen? I have been attempting to detain the animal for some time."
"Yes, one of your traps closed on my elbow."
"An unfortunate incident for which I sincerely apologize, miss. The lid to the cream pot shut rather suddenly this morning. I suspect the rodent fell in whilst helping itself to a drink."
"And now it's decided it's tired of milk and wants some tea instead? It looks like an Egbert. Shall we call it Egbert? --We could call it Bertie for short! It looks a bit like Bertie when confronted with his Aunt Agatha!"
"It appears to be shivering from _cold_, miss."
"I'll dry it off... Oh, look! It doesn't seem scared of me at all! We should keep it."
"I think Mr Wooster would disapprove, miss."
"Oh, pish!"
"I shall find a cage for it, miss."
"Oh don't sigh like that, Jeeves. It's cute!"
"The rodent, miss?"
"Would little Egbert like some tea?"

Wow, I've gotten way too carried away! Sorry, I'll shut up now.

Hee! :) I <3 your story!

You're not the only person, though, who's taken a while to see the mouse - I think of it as a stealth icon. :) Even more so when people find out the sinister import of the mouse...

In fact it's a screencap from the Hitchhiker's Guide movie, and this mouse is at that moment offering to buy Arthur's brain. ;)

LOL, is that true, Derien? I thought it was meant to be Stuart Littlemore! But I didn't watch that film, so it was just an assumption.

I love Julia's mini story too, it's adorable, as is a slightly disapproving Jeeves, as always. And the avatar - vampire Bertie!

True and honest - eor had a fit of making screencaps for icons for a while there, and indulged my slash fetish a bit while he was at it. If you can't have a bi boyfriend a straight boyfriend who understands your interests even if he doesn't share them is nearly as good.

But I've become quite fond of the mouse for it's stealthiness. Also, I'm lazy and set in my ways.

Thanks! :-}
I thought yesterday the mouse icon was from a film about witches that turned little children into mice. I don't remember the mouse in Hitchhiker's. I should definitely rewatch it --especially after seeing the above Hitchhiker's icon!

"The Witches" by Roald Dahl - I haven't actually seen the movie, but I have the book. Strange ending. Someone else made the same guess.
