Eddie Izzard: Unrepeatable 12/3 @ 11 PM

cat’s eaten the dilithium crystals–lol

See, I was curious about that… a lot of the clothes he wears, his shoes, his dresses and pantsuits, they seem purpose-made. So it’s true, there really IS transvestite stores. Cool.

new bloke in red jumper–never understood where the brits came up with “jumper”

Set your phasers to “sudden interest in botany.”

I’ll have to watch this again–are there subtitles, I wonder?

yes, it appears there are

DVD has subtitles. There’s also really long opening title… which is not really all that interesting except it shows the audience section, so you can tell how small and crammed it is. Tall, majestic, ornate theater, except it only seats 900 people, so it’s really an odd dimension, and therefore the odd acoustics.

oh, yeah–I saw that (netflixed as was unable to find it BOM)

Thanks for the heads up. I just joined. :slight_smile:

And it’s so much cooler now! :smiley:

The transvestites I knew shopped at Goodwill. A few also made their own clothes, as did most of the drag queens. I’m guessing there are better alternatives in large cities, of course. Now, with the internet, I doubt they have any problems finding things in their sizes.

Who knows where the Brits come up with anything? I was just arguing with a Jamaican co-worker about the proper pronunciation of “lieutenant”. Where did the “F” sound come from? The French don’t pronounce it like that, so where’d the English get it?

Here’s the WikiP on it.

I read something about this when I was on my Aubrey kick, and I think the Brits actually get it in a round-about way from the Spanish (IIRC) but I can’t find it now.

The American pronunciation is the correct one, BTW.

Thanks Pike! I knew there had to be a reason out there, even if it’s basically stubbornness. :smiley:
