ah yes, one of my favourite lines from " Frasier" when they are considering for a home to their father...Originally posted by Caliban View PostIt great you listen to this stuff, anton, so I don't have to !
Frasier: Oh Niles, a home? He's still a young man!
Niles: Well, you certainly can't take care of him - you're just
getting your new life together.
Frasier: Absolutely. Besides, we were never simpatico.
Niles: Of course, I can't take care of him.
Frasier: Oh yes, yes, of course, of course... why?
Niles: Because Dad doesn't get along with Maris.
Frasier: Who does?
Niles: I thought you liked my Maris!
Frasier: I do. I... I like her from a distance. You know, the way
you like the sun. Maris is like the sun. Except without
the warmth.
Niles: Well then, we're agreed about what to do with Dad. [reads a
brochure] "Golden Acres: We Care So You Don't Have To."
Frasier: It says that?
Niles: Well, it might as well!I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

How reassuring to have a regular income into his dotage......Perhaps Cumberbatch is ensuring likewise. I should give it a listen.Comment

I don't think that an internationally famous film and television star would be "ensuring" a Pension by the fee from a Radio4 drama, muzzer. (More likely a charitable* returned favour for the company that gave him Sherlock!)Originally posted by muzzer View Post
(* = by which I mean his fee will be negligible compared with his recent work, but the series will gain a greater audience than it would if he wasn't appearing in it.)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

These two words are easily muddled, ts, but essentially -Originally posted by teamsaint View PostRemind me, is it Ubiquity or Ubiquitousness ?
"Ubiquitousness" is the characteristic of appearing everywhere (like Figaro in The Barber of Seville).
"Ubiquity" is the Actor's Union.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
