( continues...) Those stupid childproof caps on my pill bottles...oh, and something else...doctors that suck. Yeah.”

“Gentlemen, could we remember that this is a hospital and not a playground, please?”

“Yes, a little decorum, please, Dr. House...”

House snorted. “He’s just mad because most of his other patients are so over-medicated they look like refugees from a Pink Floyd revival and I don’t want him to do it to Ms. Tyler.”

“You would know...” Shapiro mumbled under his breath.

“What was that?” House demanded. “I assure you my hearing is beyond perfect. Share your joke with the class, there, Alan.”

Shapiro caught Cuddy’s eye. “Oh, it doesn’t matter.”

”That doesn’t sound like good, therapeutic self-esteem...go on, say it.”

“I said ‘you would know’ because you know you struggle with painkiller dependency and the denial it engenders.”

”I’m impressed...didn’t think you had the guts. Or maybe I’m just stoned. I get those so mixed up. For the record, I don’t struggle at all...becoming addicted to painkillers was one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. Just like riding an operating table,actually.”

I'm looking for a beta to give a quick look-see at my porny Baith/Spike story. A hair under 4,000 words, angsty AU leads to sex, there are a couple bits I'm not sure belong. (Wow that sounds porny.) Anyone interested?

ETA hi. I just discovered this thread - yay!

If you're still looking, arby, you could sling it over to me at thingsinvisibletosee at gmail dot com. I should have time to look it over during tomorrow, insh'allah, if you haven't nobbled anyone else by that time (and I'd love to read it!).

Oh! Thank you darling. I've not nobbled (hee) anyone else yet. Of course (of course!) I don't have it on me ATM (I try not to bring the porn to work, as a rule, at least not in electronic form) but I can shoot it to you the second I get home. Is a Word file ok?

Ah, now I'm nervous about the great Fay seeing my lowly fic. Be gentle with me!

OK insent.

Oh, Fay is very encouraging.(Although mostly I've had her Britify stuff I've written so she is probably part of the reason I didn't join the chorus of idiots on Netflix complaining that Jeeves & Wooster are "Hard to understand")

People at Netflix find Jeeves and Wooster hard to understand?

Apparently so.... Some of that is...the joke, you guys. Dag. And their votes count the same as mine.

erika - you are aware that Andre Braugher's new show "Thief" is FINALLY debuting tonight, right?

Yeah...what time? (Not during House, I hope.)
