when life seems harsh, when you are beset by slings and arrows coming at you from all directions, when the bally ball simply won't go where it should, a small cup of Wodehouse will blow away the clouds and lift your heart; the only downside is that you might annoy your neighbours by laughing too loudly.
I used to read these as a small child, I absorbed 20s slang and an upper class English dialect at 8. I lived on the edge of a small railway town in the Australian bush so was regarded as a little strange.
@@Silly.Old.Sisyphus I was reading at 4. My mother had a wonderful collection of books. No TV back then I climbed trees, ran wild in the bush and read my mother's books. Which was not at all strange in my neck of the woods.
@@Tinyflypie There were these two goats, strolling down Hollywood Boulevard, when one of them noticed a dustbin full of old film, and wandered over and started munching on it. "What's it like?" asked the other one. "Not bad,... but it's not as good as the book".
I have binged on this and now find myself playing with using this kind of language! A hilarious relief from my usual diet of political and science podcasts.

Perfectly said!! And absolutely true. 💕
@@janetsmith8566 thank you for reminding me this recording is still here to be enjoyed over and over when needed :)
@@Silly.Old.Sisyphus As Bertie would say: “Absolutely!!”
Bertie might, but Jeeves would never be so unrestrained - the most he would allow himself would be a polite murmur of acquiescence.
WELL SAID !!!

reading Wodehouse at 8.. that is indeed a little strange; i didn't start reading him until i was 73, which is the normal way to do it...

Perfection. 💙
One of the GREATEST 😂😂😂 Jeeves-solutions, the end of this novel. And of course perfectly intoned and read with precise comic timing.
He is flawless.
The inimitable Jeeves and Wooster!!
Jeeves for President. Get rid of Trump and Biden and have a President with good manners!!!
Jeeves isn't a US Citizen...
Thanks for uploading
Hi Georgie !
Clement. Sanguine. Importune. J. Rudyard Kipling, 1835-1936, sir. I endeavor to give satisfaction, sir.
If only we all did.
Thank you!

6:21 narrator rips fart…. OR perhaps he’s shifting in a leather recliner
Well spotted, there’s definitely an extraneous sound.
