From 'The Inimitable Jeeves' chapters 11 and 12, Comrade Bingo and Bingo has a bad Goodwood merged together to form a complete short story. First published in the Strand magazine in May 1922
Nick, I have neglected far too long in restating my appreciation for your superlative talent in breathing life into every Wodehouse character. I confess to the multitude of times your oratory skills have lulled me into the peaceful world of Bertrand. You are instrumental in stifling the daily stresses that can occupy this person’s mind at the end of a day. I thank you, truly, and wish upon you and yours the smiles and happiness that you so graciously bring to so many of us.
You express my thoughts and gratitude well, PC. It's mind blowing how aptly you, Nick, capture each character in your expression, and how fluidly you flow from one to another. Like others, I also use your readings to take me to sleep, because, once I know the storyline, your expression is so beautiful that it continues to delight indefinitely, and brings out ever more nuances in Wodehouse's writing. I would like to contribute financially by way of thanks, but how?
Yay, so exciting to log on and find a new recording from you! Thank you so much. My grandson has the Clangers every night as his wind down before bed. I have your Jeeves and Wooster stories.
"Hey Nicky you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey tricky...tricky Nicky"!! As soon as I turned on & saw notification "Hey Mickey" (Toni Basil) started playing in my head! 😍 Hopefully it will now stop so I can listen to your beautiful voice. 😉 I'm back. Your performance was perfection as always! ✔💯 Tysm! Ik you are busy w/real life, lol but I live in hope there will be more soon. You have been missed by we your loyal subjects! 😊👍
The perfect accompaniment to a dreary afternoon painting garage walls. The job pales into insignificance as Jeeves & Wooster heave (hove?) into view and I'm transported to that heavenly world. Thank you so much! 😍
There's nothing like sitting in a shaded patio of my favourite internet café with an iced coffee at my elbow and a new J&W coming out of the earphones. The Mozart violin concerto I WAS planning to listen to today will have to wait until my apres-luncheon trip to the coffee shop tomorrow.
Wonderful reading of a very funny story. Thank you for recording and uploading it. At the risk of being a tedious pedant, I did wonder why the Red Dawn leader called his daughter Charlotte Corday, after the (moderate) Girodin who assassinated the (extremist) Jacobite Marat. But it's too late to ask P G Wodehouse about it!
Apologies for two mis-spellings above. The moderate party in the French Revolution was the Girondins, and the extremists were the Jacobins, not Jacobites (an officious spellchecker was responsible for the latter mistake).
I've been listening to all your audiobooks and very very thoroughly enjoying them all and because I never read descriptions and comments until now, I did not realize that you are the one reading it. You are sensational! I hope you read to us more, I am so looking forward to it. You are an absolute delight.
Dear Nick, as you stand alone your friends and admirers would greatly appreciate it if you read any of the Ukridge stories. Greetings from Poland 💪👏🤹🕺😎
Lord “M” - what a delight to find your latest post! I’m tucked in for the night ready to be transported by your animated storytelling. Dreamland here I come, many many thanks! Cheers, julie
@@Trickynickymarts the Great Sermon Handicap is one of my favourites! I'm subscribed and have the bell but it only works if I check my notifications--which I don't! I just remember you every so often, search you up, and enjoy your dulcet tones :)
Nick, were you thinking of taking on the full novel? You do drag home the gravy in no uncertain fashion. Your fans' expectations are growing. Do bless us with looooong reading one day. Greetings from Poland 😉😎✌️🍻
Please read and consider doing the poetry of Banjo Patterson especially his comedic ones such as "the Geebung Polo club" your voice and style lends very well to humour and with that lilt toward sarcasm/astonishment. Not enough projection of these hilarious poems have happened online but they sooo deserve attention
I say old chap you misunderstand. What seems to *you* odd was mainstay of the day and merely reflected in speech and expression by this fine narration giving one an accurate glimpse of what life was like (plus adumbrations of why) for nobles and gentry like Bertie and his man servant, valet. par excellence, Jeeves. 😏 Ya know?
@gordongibson. This is very fine reading of PG Wodehouse. Tone, pace and sense all coveyed artfuly. I await your recordings. If they are better I will praise you deservedly.
