100 Things I Like in 100 Icons (#004)

Onwards, and an obvious one, but it was on the list of topics that persiflage_1 gave me (and I promised I'd include all those. Except maybe the lemons):

4.Sapphire and Steel

For lemons, clearly I should direct you to Cabin Pressure's Season 3 opener: Qikiqtarjuaq where John Finnemore, Benedict Cumberbatch, Douglas Allam and Stephanie Cole (aka Arthur, Martin, Douglas and Carolyn, the CP team) play The Travelling Lemon game.

Alternatively I can point you at this: www.tumblr.com/tagged/travelling-lemon

Which is a Tumblr for the aforementioned episode.

(I highly recommend CP anyway as half an hour of pure radio madness and genius!)

Lemons

I want to listen to Cabin Pressure v badly already!

Also, while I do actually like lemons, I don't really want to make an icon of one, or post a whole post about them. ;-p So:

I like lemons. If you give me a lemon or two, I can make a lemon cake or sponge, or a lemon meringue pie, and then make some lemonade with what is left. They are handy to have around to add to general cooking. Sometimes I don't use them and they grow small and hard in my fridge and I have to throw them away.

I think that is all I have to say about Lemons. :-)

*giggles* Fair enough!

They're airing the first two seasons of Cabin Pressure on Radio 4 Extra I believe.

Thanks! I just seem to need things on my mp3 player to actually listen to. I looked on Amazon for it, and it's available as a download only, which is good, because it was v cheap, but I'm just a bit wary of that, because I'll have to load their software to get it & hope there's no incompatibility with the files or anything. But all the clips I've heard and everything you've said makes it sound brilliant - and so much my sort of thing! :-)

You're totally making me want to go back and rewatch S&S. I think it must be something between 8 and 10 years since I watched it. If only there were MOAR TIME!!!! *sigh*

[lost_spook]

Aw. Sorry! Never mind. Still, at least, if you did, there's not too much of it and it's all on YouTube these days.

[scifi_mel]

Lols I really don't mind :) I didn't realise it was on youtube!!! That's so cool! I will definitely be watching it sooner now. Have obtained episode one! :) Thank you!!!!!!

[belantana]

But you are doing an 100 icons thing with words about icons? But that is cool! I think!

Hahaha, the S&S intro has to be the worst I've ever heard, coupled with the best graphics I've ever seen. Seriously I love that weird dissolving fire grid thingy.

I like that you like S&S because it lets you write shippiness! This is also a reason I like it (because of you writing shippiness I mean).

[lost_spook]

Yes, like so. It's a challenge someone came up to generate more content for LJ, so there's no time limit, and it can be any 100 things, or you can do them in bundles of 5 or 10 or 20, or whatever. The original post is here. :-)

Hmm. The voice thing is odd, but then... S&S needs something v odd. I'm not sure what would seem right with it. And those lines are just about the only explanation we get. I'm glad you like the graphics. At least there was something good in the weird old thing I recced... :lol:

Yes. Not that I don't ship other ships sometimes, but I fail at writing and reading stuff much. I think some of it's to do with the language, but, hey, maybe I have Issues.

[wytchcroft]

you can never say too much about SnS. :)

[lost_spook]

I don't know. I think I very probably have already...

But, yay, thanks! :-)
