Right Ho Jeeves 4 months ago

read over the BH weekend. One of the best, a true classic. Really loving this goal! Lifts the spirits on the bluest of days.

You could knock me down with an f.



Thank you, Jeeves 4 months ago

The first full-length novel featuring Jeeves and Wooster, and it’s great. Features Brinkley the crazy valet. A good stress buster and great for the train.



Very Good, Jeeves 7 months ago

Read this on holiday this week, and it’s the best so far. Some classic stories and favourite lines of mine. Apparently PGW had already been writing J&W stories for 14 years by the time this collection came out.

Thank you, Jeeves is next.

The inimitable j and carry on j are the next two. I probably should have skipped My man j as some of the stories are repeated and extended in carry on.
Very Good J is next and I already have it on my shelf, so no shopping required.
It’s great for stress. A safe place to retreat to. Am thinking of adopting the Bertie Wooster cure for depression – nick a policeman’s helmet.



1st book read 10 months ago

I got My Man Jeeves off Amazon and read it in two days (would have been less if work hadn’t got in the way). Short stories, and not all Jeeves and Wooster; interested that Bertie’s living in New York though. I always wondered why they moved the tv series to America. It gives opportunities for more comedy; Bertie in one story, when flummoxed by the unexpected arrival of an aunt (not his own) falls back on tea:
“tea, tea tea, what? What?”
and is met with a disapproving, ” you’re English, aren’t you?”
Well, it made me laugh.
My boss is watching the box set at the moment, so she comes in to work and says, what ho! How are you? And I say, spiffing!

is apparently ‘My Man Jeeves’ – never heard of it. Watched an episode of it on tv this afternoon and it never fails to make me laugh – something I really need lots of at the moment is laughter.
