Was late checking my email, but found this little gem in my Inbox from the past week. There's a poster on the Wire mailing list who has a friend in Dublin, who just ran into someone special. She said:
"Thought you'd be interested to know who I met yesterday while having Xmas lunch with my girlfriends. It was our annual get-together and as you can imagine a bunch of Dublin mums, let loose from the kiddies for a day, we all tend to get a bit rowdy! Well, after about an hour of us all howling, sharing our stories, a waitress came over with 2 bottles of champagne "from the gentleman in the corner."We were obviously chuffed and thanked him from afar. As he was leaving he came over--and he said--it's seldom he got out, so he wanted to share the joy and hence the champers, and wished us a merry Christmas."
She added as a postscript: "I must admit--now I think he's tops!"
(A true Dubliner, LOL.) She said she had a blurry attached pic to share but hasn't put it up. We'd all love to see it of course, but if B requested no images online, I'd honor his privacy and understand..)
When I read this I just *MELTED*. I'm sorry, but I just want to....
This shows you what kind of guy he always has been and still is. Thinking of others even though he feels like crap. And I just see his face as he said that.
I'm sorry....fangirl sigh....I just....
Probably why I tend to read the books after I see the movies.
Completely random. But its just the actors voice that makes me think of Rickman.
