University

"Bit of a wank, this ivory tower stuff."

"Just because you never went."

"Never needed to, my son. Anyway, you didn’t either. And bloody art college doesn’t count. ’S all wank, mate. Trust me, you can do it yourself."

"What? Under a tree with a book in Africa?"

"If you like, yeah."

"Leave it out-"

“Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it. Chips."

"Eh?"

"Chips. Your turn, and easy on the vinegar!"

Doyle sometimes wondered whether a lifetime was enough to learn one William Andrew Philip Bodie.

LOL!!! I wonder about the same thing sometimes. Wonderful banter - love it!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed the banter - and I'm sure one lifetime's not enough:))

“Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it. Chips."

Oh I love Bodie! :D And that bit there captures the essence of the man so sweetly. Sod 100 words - you got him in 21! Absolutely delightful drabble.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Macbeth is one of my favourite plays, so I went looking and this line seemed to fit. And I just had to puncture it with 'chips' at the end..*g*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

this was a delight. thanks.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Kat, I'm happy you liked it.

The juxtaposition of the quote and "Chips" is bloody brilliant. I loved it and your portrait of the complex Master Bodie. Good on you for the 100 words. It's tough, isn't it? :-)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon! Shakespeare and chips, no wonder Doyle's forever drawn to the layers of Bodie.. And yes, 100 words is *tough*.

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Great stuff, I can so easily imagine this conversation taking place between them.

And you did it in 100! Maybe Bodie will give you one of his chips as a reward! *g*

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Ooo, yes. A chip from Bodie. That'd be lovely, with or without vinegar.*g* Thank you!

[ankaree.livejournal.com]

LOL! I enjoyed that. Great Bodie/Doyle banter!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the banter - could listen to these two yak all day..

[probodie.livejournal.com]

I dont think a lifetime would ever be enough! Fantastic drabble, thanks for sharing.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And yes, one lifetime's probably not enough!

“Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it. Chips."
Yes! Excellent - thank you! *g*

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And see? I did it in 100 words - which was *very* tough..*g*

[towerbridge2006.livejournal.com]

That was lovely! Thanks for sharing. I'm still smiling. :)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Happy to keep you smiling, thank you.

I liked the Shakespeare quote, but my (sometimes questionable) mind went in a completely different direction with this...

’S all wank, mate. Trust me, you can do it yourself."

Sorry. Liked it a lot - very Bodie.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

LOL Yes, there are all manner of possibilites as to how Bodie actually said that, then!! Thnak you, you made me giggle now:))

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

MacBeth and chips... what more do you need to know?

Thank you! :D

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you - Macbeth and chips seemed the perfect blend for Bodie:))

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

I loved it, thank you! :D

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

You´re very welcome, I´m happy you enjoyed it.

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

Ha! I love THAT William Andrew Philip Bodie!
Thanks!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

There are some occasions that warrant his full name, this seemed like one of them! Thank you.

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Funny, clever and thought-provoking and all in 100 words. And I *love* the idea that even though Bodie's an anti-intellectual, hard-nut, he's still cultured and well read. My favourite kind of person.

*Well* done, son!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

even though Bodie's an anti-intellectual, hard-nut, he's still cultured and well read. Exactly! Thank you so much.

[hambelandjemima.livejournal.com]

Ah, this was lovely and I think everyone else has said it all.

Thanks :)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it:))

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Hee, I love me a slightly long-suffering but obviously crazy in love Doyle ... and a carb-scoffing self-educated Bodie .. what a perfect pair! Brilliant drabble too!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks, mate. And carb-scoffing self-educated sounds just about right.*g*

[beauregard.livejournal.com]

This is a keeper. For my own personal archives where I anally store everything I can grab...I have unilaterally decided not to save any more drabbles and snippets but today I made an exception for this one.

Re: University

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Well, I am so tickled by this. I *love* being smn's exception, quite a lovely compliment, thank you!!
