10 Aug 05 - 12:15 PM (#1539484) Subject: RE: BS: The Code of the Woosters From: GUEST,leeneia Yes, of course, Roderick Spode, founder of the Black Shorts. In addition to his innate brutality, he had the stupidity to be in love with Madeleine Basset, the one who thought a baby was born every time a fairy blew its nose. Life was simpler then. I thoroughly enjoy the writing of P.G. Wodehouse. Wodehouse produced some of the most remarkable sentences in the English language. |

I saw it in my email yesterday. That's the one with the cow creamer, right? Funniest thing I'd seen in a long time when I saw the Hugh Laurie/Stephen Fry version of it. SRS |

We listened to the book once during a long, long ride. How it made the miles pass! There are other books with Spode in them. |
