Comments on: Something about some boring people http://downinme.com/2009/04/16/something-about-some-boring-people/ “bad writing is characterized by obfuscation, showboating, narcissism, lack of a moral core, and style over substance."

I'm just a terrible reader. Jem: People are always doing something, aren't they. Jim: I don’t think I can read sober actually, but even sober I trip over my words all the time anyway.

It's like one of those Where's Wally pictures, so many little people doing odd and interesting things, and someone just had to tell their story. Good one.

I'd experiment of course but I think it would work quite well narrated at a pace, perhaps not quite as frantic a pace as 'Not I' but quickly and sober so you don't trip over your words. That said I can also see it working with a rather lugubrious delivery where the words are savoured. Have a play with it and see what you think.

Marc: That's what it feels like to me. AUW: Hugh 'Bit of Fry and Laurie' Hugh because I haven't actually seen House. And oh yeah, remember when I'd never been to King's Cross? Max: Where, to my house at rush hour? I don't recommend it. But if you insist, bring vodka. Gin will do in a pinch. Ellie: Sshhh! We're not supposed to tell outsiders about that one! Isabelle: You’re too sweet to me.

Marc: That’s what it feels like to me.

Enquiring minds need to know. (I've missed the point, haven't I?) PS: You didn't mention which tube line. Details, please. This omission of tube line detail is becoming like a habit. A habit every two years, yes, but a habit nonetheless. Was it older Hugh Laurie or younger, upper class piano-playing twit Hugh Laurie of A Bit Of Fry And Laurie fame? Enquiring minds need to know.
