fridays are tie days -jeeves & wooster




Had a whole shpeel written out but will just say; Fry and Laurie nailed it. The wordplay in the books is fantastic though. Mrs. 10e gave me The Most Of... a few years back and I reread most of it every year.

Cream colored shirts don't get a lot of play generally but Bertie seems to like them. Own Ede&Ravenscoft below -bought for a certain Saturday at St. Mary's Cathedral almost 9 years ago... the tie too. Love E&R's ties from that era. The shirt's Royal Warrant label doesn't hurt either...

Amazing...that is the second time this week that I've read that line about ties. Wodehouse gold.

Well said, Jeeves!

"I endeavor to give satisfaction" would be more Jeeves' line...

Another version:

Jeeves: Very good, sir. Pardon me, your tie.
Wooster: What's wrong with it?
Jeeves: Everything, sir. If you will allow me.
Wooster: All right, go ahead. But I can't help asking myself if ties really matter at a time like this.
Jeeves: There is no time when ties do not matter, sir.
