True in most cases, but a tip:

IF you have pale skin, like whites like me have in the winter time, and want to emphasize your pumped up arms like say in the club, wear an completely black tight tshirt with minimal sleeves. Your arms WILL stand out and everyone assumes the rest in big too. Thank me later :)

"Eulily"

Wodehouse ftw!  Psmith is my role model.

Fry & Laurie were perfect in those roles.

I know, I shock millennials showing them "Jeeves and Wooster." They have no idea of Hugh Laurie as anyone other than "House."

Pity they couldn't give Fry a recurring guest role.  They were considering making him one as a doctor who was every bit as good as House, but was great with people on a personal level.

What really makes you look small? Smallness. Check the scale and up the dose. Why not, you'll be 21 forever.

House never really grabbed me but I would have tuned in for that.  I was never sure if the name of the show vaguely alluded to Wodehouse but I'm probably pushing it since my few viewings of it turned up no evidence.

I imagine the P.G. purists out there hate the TV adaption.  It's what led me to the author though so I'm a fan.  Fry's delivery as Jeeves still rings in my head when reading & I couldn't ask for a better butler.

As much as I like him I still haven't gotten through a lot of what Wodehouse wrote.  Nice to have these things to look forward to.

I would think that a purist would really like those productions.

You know how it is though when you read a book first and then an actor arrives to jar your mental image of the characters.

Maybe they do appreciate it after all.  Apparently there are even Wodehouse societies out there.  I haven't investigated.  Newt enthusiasts, most likely.  They're probably grateful for the exposure.
