It really was about time. Rock'n' roll, Benedict and Sophie!

Tinks · November 5, 2014 11:15 am

Huge, huge congratulations to them both - hope they are so very happy

Aaaawh I am so happy for both of them!
What a lucky woman!

I think both are lucky, she seems like a great catch, too!

I didn´t know till now, that BC does paint/draw to find some normality in his life. It will be interesting to see his works.
Here ist where I found this information:

Yes and in the past, fans have had the chance to bid for his work.

Sadly only well-to-do fans though. Not criticising those charity auctions in any way but it would be nice for a change if someone did a tombola for example so everyone could have a go. 1,700 bucks for a card or thousands for a suit is something most fans simply cannot afford.

Oh I agree.
I was just nicely trying to say it's actually quite a well known fact that Benedict is a bit of an artist!
But I wouldn't expect newer fans to know this.

SusiGo · November 10, 2014 7:21 pm

Yes, what he does is quite lovely. And he is a bit of a writer as well. Such a talented man.

besleybean · November 10, 2014 7:24 pm

Brains, charm, good looks and talent...
I dunno, he has it all!
Sigh.

Oh yes, I´m not finished to work me through all his talents, so I find things as new for me which "older" fans already knew. So I´m in the lucky position to discover facts about BC and delight myself with it.

SusiGo · November 10, 2014 7:33 pm

Have fun. There are so many great things to discover.

SolarSystem · November 10, 2014 9:09 pm

Yes, Neferu, lots of wonderful things to discover... do you already know "Cabin Pressure"?

I have heard that it will exist, but never have listened to it. First, I must brush up my english, then one time I´m ready for it.

I don´t disagree.

You really should try it... the transcripts are a BIG helper at least for me

And apart from the transcripts I'd say that they all speak a very clear and intelligible English. You really should give it a try.

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 11, 2014 6:18 pm

Cabin Pressure is an awesome thing!

And I do agree about the clear English as well! I have some troible hearing and I can often miss words and entire meanings when listening to things. I didn't have too many issues with CP.

And my aunt, a retired perfectionistic English teacher told me when I watched South Pacific that she loved the speekers voice (giggles) and that he was very clear and articulate...

Ehm... as long as he was not talking about Pengwings I guess
