I want a footman!
Or a hallboy... he needs a bed anyway.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I found an email I sent da boy after seeing the first Edwardian House
- oh my...
footmen were paid according to their height.
yes. their height.
those under 5'7 up to 20 pounds. Those over could earn as much as 40 quid.
wowza.
89 steps up.
that's where they kept the house women.
cause yeah.. you know, climbing them?
was probably going to deter the man.
ohyesindeed!
Did you know it takes 186 separate pieces of silverware for a 6 course meal for 8.
(or is that an 8 course meal for 6? :)
And I'm in love. IN LOVE I tell you. Charles! The First footman. He's a bit of al' right, he is :)
Clearly I was watching for the .. erm .. educational bits! (Does PBS also blank out the bits where they get nuded up?)
No one matches Frontier House's Nate though. He's my secretest television boyfriend.
lalala not editing, not editing

Wait, there was nudity? I knew shoulda watched that show more closely.
White-fonted for Edwardian spoilers (if you consider hair and relationships spoilers, that is):Hmm, is Charles the quy with the really cute in that 'I wanna give you a haircut' way flippy fringe, who had a forbidden girlfriend and kept making the head-butler dude frustrated? Or am I confusing the footmen?
Edit - I do too know how to tell different shows apart, I promise. Also, it appears I'm a serial editor, but some typos you just can't leave alone.

pstt. Leigh? Wasn't that [ Kenny the boot-boy - or hall-boy - or something that indicates he sleeps in a pull down bed in the passageway-boy?
And doesn't he come later?]

Nuthing to see here: Yes, the name Kenny does seem more familiar - but I have these visions of him in a suit with the starched collar while serving things and now I'm thinking that I've invented this flippy haired collar-wearing person because of my strange hair fetish and just convinced myself he was real. Damn subconscious. In my defense, I never really watched the show properly because it was on during my yr 12 exams, when the only television I could handle was the Disney channel because everything else just had me crying to myself like "I'm going to fail! I'm gonna end up having to get up at 4 in the morning for my job as a scullery maid!"
on edit: I looked up the website and yep, you were right. Though I'm pretty sure that at one point, Kenny has to help serving or something. It's also possible my brain went and made that whole part up.

so... let me get this straight..
You wanted to be served by Kenny in a Mickey Mouse suit?
And you're blaming your exams.
Yeah. Okay. Yep. Right. Gotcha. Ahuh. And? :eyes:

Dude, you don't know crazy unless you've seen people who have to take an AME 3b Option exam - I could've run around wearing my underwear on my head while doing suspicious things to a fuschia feather-boa and no-one at my school would've batted an eyelid.
I'm sooo not helping my not-crazy case, am I? I've got the flu! I'm on medication! I don't know what I'm saying typing!

I think the phrase you're looking for is "Look, Over there! An eight hundred pound elephant wearing pink gingham and juggling SMGs!" :)

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.
Watched "Manor House" last night. Yep, there was some nudity--we got to see one of the lad's bare butt. Woke me up a bit when I saw that, let me tell you.
PBS is showing two episodes lumped together each night, so last night I saw the first two--moving in and the dinner party.
PBS.org has a page devoted to "Manor House". There's a feature that tells you what your life would have been like in 1905, based on your gender and father's profession. I'm a box maker! Which was all well and good until my husband dies in WWI, leaving me with 4 children...
Huh. Had I been male, I would have had a much nicer life as a clerk. I would have even lived through WWI, though apparantly I'm forced into marriage after knocking a girl up...
