Is he famous or what?

Well all my lovely friends are either traipsing around London or away on work or vacation *sob* and this board is getting cobwebs. Of course if even the hostess neglects it what can one do? Well I haven't had any musings about Eddie going on in my head or even much on politics or religion either. So this will have to do.

My hubby and I were at an afternoon get together with some rather new friends, eating and drinking and chatting and we started talking about the internet and one of the women said they just recently got their computer back and she hoped she wouldn't get back to her addiction to email. And I mentioned my addiction to the internet and then tried to explain about the message board and my internet friends and then started to explain about Eddie Izzard and the host said Oh yes, I saw him on HBO and he's brilliant. The guy said he had avoided watching at first because of the makeup but when he did he was so happily surprised and watched him again and then made his wife watch. He and his wife waxed on and on about his rare talent and intelligence for about ten minutes. I didn't have to say much at all. Everybody else was like, oh really? Well we have to sign up for HBO then, etc.

It's really surprising how many people know and love Eddie, but you don't know it because he is not in the media. He is the classic underground star. I bet Hollywood has no idea.

That's all really, I just felt chuffed!

- Hey guys try using the Ambassadors tape on them, that way his appearance doesn't distract. I love that one second only to D2K, he is such a little boy in that one! (NT) -- spoot, 11:38:33 07/30/01 Mon
