Can anyone help me out on this one?

I was watching an old video of mine that I taped off of MTV a long
time ago - it was U2's concert at Red Rocks in Colorado that concurred
with the live album "Under A Blood Red Sky".  At the beginning of the
concert before it started, the opening section had music that sounded 
very Enya-esque.  Anyone know if this was Enya or Clannad?  Which
song?  If anyone can help me on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Serge Pontejos

nope, it wasn't the theme sone, and it's hardly a traditional piece. 
it was written for a BBC movie entitled "Harry's Game."

there are several clannad records that pre-date both Magical Ring and
Dulaman.  the best source is Shanachie records, and I'd be happy to
post their address if anyone wants it.  their prices are great and they
often have specials, like order three and get one free.  and there's
no time-consuming searching to go through.

And still working!

The Fry and Laurie series(pl) aren't strictly genuine Wodehouse, but based on Jeeves and Wooster stories, in a sort of mix-and-match-and-add-a-bit. 

I liked Ian Carmichael. And Dennis Price, of course.

The first book is called "Right Ho, Jeeves."  Stilton Cheesewright is in love 
with (and, I hope, eventually marries) Bertie's aunt Dalhia's daughter, who's
name I cannot quite recall.

I believe the words you require were spoken by Agustus Fink-Nottle, Newt Lover,
Basset (Madeline) Lover, and first-class nerd.  He loves Madeline, Madeline
loves him.  Madeline is also pretty convinced that Bertie is in love with her,
creating a situation which eventually gets resolved with the help of a firebell
and a bicycle.  (Read the book)

Hope this helps.

	Yes indeed, I'm currently reading "Galahad at Blandings" and
the story is remarkably similar to the Blandings love affairs of other
books. But as you said later, it simply doesn't matter! The beauty is
in the language, the sentence construction, and dialogue. I don't
really read Wodehouse for the plot.

	Agree completely! I think "The Pothunters" was his first book,
or at least, one of the first. Also, "A Prefect's Uncle" from about the
same time, is another superb book based in a public school. Has a lot
of cricket in it as I remember, which might make it difficult for
Americans to appreciate as much :-)

Hi, I'm Ivan, I'm a Wodehouse-aholic.

Has anyone started compiling a list for a FAQ of all of the story
plots and characters etc.? 

I'm referring to something on the order of the alt.tv.simpsons FAQ.  Which,
although quite alarming in its depth of detail, is quite interesting.
(If you wan't to see the simpsons faq, ftp to pit-manager.mit.edu and

   Why not just "Woodies" ?

   Seems to fall perfectly in line with "Berties" et al...

Well, considering the alternative meaning of "Woodie" (hint, it's
synonymous with "stiffie"), I think this might not be the best
choice....

True, but that's often done, isn't it? Take, for example, Poirot and
Hastings, who satisfy all of the above criteria, except the second. It's
almost as if the brilliant one couldn't be bothered with mundane work
like writing.. or, more likely, that an audience would prefer to hear
it from someone at or below their intellectual level than from above.

(In "The Musgrave Ritual" (televised on A&E yesterday),
Watson explains how Sherlock tries to put himself in the shoes of
the criminal and retraces his actions, making allowances for the
difference in intellect)

God yes! That sound SO familiar! I love Wodehouse, and so do my mother and
my sister at home. I watched the first two episodes while I was at home for
Christmas, and I REALLY wanted to see the other two. I managed to get the
residence TV for the first one (everyone had gone home that week), but 
nobody knew what I was talking about when I told them what I was watching
and nobody stayed long enough to get the jokes. 

I didn't manage to see more than a couple of minutes of the fourth one :-(
because there were a lot of people watching some movie or other at the time.
We flipped to PBS during the commercials, but we always seemed to get there
during some of the more serious, "Masterpiece Theatre"-type parts and I
could not manage to convince anyone to stay there. Nobody there has even
read the books! I couldn't believe it!

Oh well. Maybe there will be some more on at some time when I can select
what I want to watch on TV.

Of course, I haven't read only Wodehouse in a couple of years so I initially
just wrote of the difference as my faulty memory.

Speaking of referring to Wodehouse' works as a Canon, does anyone
see the similarity between the Jeeves stories and the Sherlock
Holmes stories?  

* The adventures of two bachelors
* who share an apartment in London
* one is brilliant and inscrutable
* the other one narrates, leaving the reader to try and figure 
  out what the brilliant one sees before it's revealed by the
  turn of events.
