Indeedsir can cause brain damage

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

What ho to you all! I just came back from London and I simply have to tell you what happened to me there. I found out that the indeedsir community is affecting me more than I thought and I think I need a professional help. Because:

1) when I was having breakfast I saw "butler" instead of "butter" on my plate
2) when I was enjoying my ride in doubledecker I saw the "Jeeves Dry Cleaners" and thought "Is Bertie there as well?"
3) my mum was dressing herself and she suddenly said: "It would be so nice to have a valet, don´t you think? I just need someone to tie my shoe-laces, that would be perfect" and I said to myself: "Hah, If you only knew, what a valet could do to you..."
4) I was in a bookshop and I found a new Wodehouse´s book, which I haven´t read yet, and in the back was written: "Bertie Wooster has been overdoing metropolitan life a bit, and the doctor orders fresh air in the depths of the country. But after moving with Jeeves to a cottage at Maiden Eggesford..." and I thought: "WHAT? A cottage? Indeedsir has taken over the world and now publishes slash!" but then I found that it actually WAS written by P.G.Wodehouse, thank goodness, I almost died of shock.

And after that I realised, that there should be some pills or special treatment for the members, before we become really dangerous for the rest of the world.

Hahaha! You should have seen my expression the day I was brushing my teeth, gazing into the bathroom cupboard as usual, and suddenly spotted the letters "Geo. F. Trumper, Curzon Street, Mayfair" on my significant other's shaving brush. I even think the sign of that shop features in one of the TV episodes, the scene where Bertie almost gets run over by a car, but I wouldn't swear it.


I don't think we're dangerous to the rest of the world, I think we improve it! Just look at me: I've started making my sig. other a cup of tea every morning.

I must agree it's getting kinda scary indeed, cause I like my symptoms.^^
Also, unreasonable amounts of tea. :/

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

When I go clothes shopping for formal dresses, I judge what I'm buying by, "What would Jeeves say?"

It doesn't work so well for jeans and t-shirts, admittedly, but I've probably avoided some ill-advised dresses for listening to my inner Jeeves.

[heatherlp.livejournal.com]

I have started to absent-mindedly use the word 'bally' in everyday conversations. I tend to get odd looks. I'm also dying for an excuse to say 'tinkerty-tonk', preferably coldly.

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

Oh nonsense. There's no such thing as unreasonable amounts of tea.

I am not a serious case... yet. But my odd fascination with wearing men's suits and ties and so on has only increased recently and I have found myself fantasizing about bowler hats... I have also found that the subject of getting myself my own Jeeves and finding alternative lifestyle where I'm bigamous makes my partner extremely jealous and protective. It's so cute I talk about it more often than I should.

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

If only my language was English...

[starlightkissu.livejournal.com]

I talk like Bertie WAY too much. I also heard the word "cheese" a couple of minutes ago and got really excited because I thought someone said Jeeves.

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

There were SO many bowler hats in London... I should have bought one. I really should.

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

The things we could do with words... I understand you perfectly :)

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

It does work really well for ties. My brother reads Wodehouse too and he admits, that the best way to buy a proper tie is to ask "Is it to dreadful for Jeeves?"

[laughinggas13.livejournal.com]

I've started substituting Bertie-speak for swearing now. What's odd is people give me more evil looks for Bertie-isms than for swearing. *sigh* So misunderstood...

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

Would you like another bite of Jeeves?




That forms some strange images in my head. I should go to bed.

[closetofheroes.livejournal.com]

I must have moved in the wrong circles. I've never in my life seen anyone in a bowler hat, London or elsewhere.

[juliacarmen.livejournal.com]

Stephen Fry clearly doesn't ask himself this question.
He has Bertie's taste for clothes.

[kakareen.livejournal.com]

Nearly everytime I see him on television, he is wearing something that makes me think, 'Jeeves would not approve'.

[quasiadastra.livejournal.com]

When my dad is in London, he uses a Jeeves Dry Cleaners. I always smile when I see the packaging either in his flat or in his suitcase when he comes back home.

[foofarah.livejournal.com]

Jeeves as proprietor of a dry cleaners? I can just see him 'accidentally' losing or ruining articles of clothing he doesn't approve of.

"Madam, I regret to say that we were unable to remove the blueberry stains from your horizontal striped blouse. No, madam, I assure you that the shirt WAS indeed quite heavily stained with blueberry jam when it arrived..."

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Mr Wodehouse, all the summaries of your books sound a bit, well, poofty.

XD

[juliacarmen.livejournal.com]

LOL! XD

[lady529.livejournal.com]

One word there, Camden. Saw a several last time I was there, but sadly my head's above average in size (not even counting the curly hair that grows on it), and none of them fit.. Will go look for one next time I'm there though..

[lady529.livejournal.com]

Did you see QI 6x03? Brilliant. I love it when he puts on clothes Bertie wouldn't even dare to look at in fear of Jeeves handing in his notice after having had a nervous breakdown. That tie..

Not that what he wore in QI 6x04 was much better, mind <3

The Lady 529

[lady529.livejournal.com]

Didn't he say something once about his writings possibly being more, what was it, popular or whatever, if he'd included more of what we'd call slash?

There's no danger to the rest of the world. It's more like being the eccentric aunt in the family. Everyone knows you're a good egg, if a little light in the attic.

I have a notoriously bad habit of picking up speech patterns of people or characters I can relate to in some way. Any time I read or watch some Jeeves & Wooster, I tend to talk like either one of them (or both sometimes, which is very odd) for about a week after. I'm surprised my family hasn't had me committed yet.

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Same here...yet. ^^ I'm talking waaay too much about it as well, and guh, bowler hats. *dreamy*

*drinks some more tea*

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Oh, and also, I start to talk like Bertie. But that was to be expected. *shrug*

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

It is such a pity I can't use the word "bally" in every day conversation. Some how it is just not the same to say "Oletpas sinä ballyn hauska tänään, mokomakin ääliö" than "Aren't you bally funny today, you moron". But at least everyone has to agree Finns have the best swear words.

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

Well, perhaps near Leicester Square on the way towards Covent Garden, there is a small shops and they have even various colors... but black is traditional. But yeah, no one wears it :)

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

that should be "small shop". I feel terrible to do such a thing to the grammar...

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

I completely agree. Jeeves would faint if he saw this. Funny, when you imagine Stephen Fry staring in horror at Stephen Fry in his new tie.

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

"Aren´t you bally funny today, you moron"? Well, in Czech it would be something like "Ty seš dneska zatraceně vtipnej, kreténe." I am horrible at translations, I hope no Czech speaking person will see this...

[closetofheroes.livejournal.com]

I wonder when they went out of fashion? Business men still wore them in the 50s as if it was a uniform. I guess it was the 60s that killed it.

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

My point was that I translated everything except the bally in the sentence. In Finnish bally would be something like... "hitsi". Yep, that'll do. Untranslated it's just weird. I might start using it...

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

I always say it's the seemingly "normal" people who are the most dangerous. If a person is too mellow and boring there's bound to be some horrible dark secret.

[drunken-kurage.livejournal.com]

It is my belief that there is no such thing as a 'normal' person. Everyone has a certain amount of quirky behaviors and habits. If some one's normal, then they are simply trying too hard to be some one else.

Or is a psycho ax-murdering freak who is going to kill us all. D:

[siilikeiju.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[feanix.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean about indeedsir, and Wodehouse in general, getting to you.

I was having some discussion with a friend of mine and she said something or other that irritated me. I said "I say, that's a bit much, don't you think?!" and then stopped...She said, "'I say'?". I told her I had to go and have a lie down, lol, Jeeves and Wooster have finally taken over.

[who-is-small.livejournal.com]

No to se ti náhodou docela povedlo :-)))

Kačka

[wistful-shadow.livejournal.com]

Lol, I do exactly the same thing. I'm a brit anyway but I read so much Holmes and Wodehouse, etc that I tend to 'slip' into character language without noticing it until my family starts giving me funny looks.

It's even worse when I'm tired because my brain shorts out & my speech gets more and more British so there's me sounding like Bertie or Watson in the middle of a bunch of Geordies. It's no wonder everyone I know thinks I'm a bit weird!

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

Ha! No, snaha o autentičnost byla :) Odkaď přesně seš?

[who-is-small.livejournal.com]

Z Praheeee :) Mohu si tě přidat do přátel, bratře/sestro ze srdce Entropy?

[angieveep.livejournal.com]

:D Sestra. Kolegyně z Prahy. To víš, že můžeš. Jsme tady asi jediní Češi, co?

[mrs-rochester11.livejournal.com]

I totally understand. Sometimes I'll be on indeedsir and then I'll go and read some actual Wodehouse and I'll keep expecting slashy things to happen. I keep thinking, "Why haven't Bertie and Jeeves made out yet?" Haha. I also, like many of you, slip into the Wodehouse language every now and then and get very strange looks from my friends. It is truly a disease and I don't want a cure:)

[who-is-small.livejournal.com]

Asi jo, to víš, Plum není JKR :)

[drunken-kurage.livejournal.com]

Well, at least your a brit. I'm from midwest America, so popping up with a British accent at random tends to raise a few eyebrows. XD

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

I did almost have a nervous breakdown in a class once because we were looking at a cached version of askjeeves.com. I was sitting there huffing so badly the teacher stopped lecturing to ask me what was wrong.
I said I had allergies [to shameless rip-offs]... :P
