Самая лучшая раскладка была дана в сериале Yes, Minister 20 лет назад, и она верна до сих пор.

Minister: I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Express is read by people who think they run the country.
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country.
The Times is read by people who actually do run the country.
The Daily Mirror is read by the wives of the people who run the country.
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country.
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Minister, what about people who read the Sun.

Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits.


Еще не хватает пары газет:
The Daily Mail is read by people who think the country was run much better in the past.

А кто читает The Independent, я даже и не знаю.

Был такой прикол в US

There are people who read Washington Post and they think that they rule the country.
There are people who read New-York Times and they do rule the country.
And there are people who read the Observer. They know that Elvis is alive and rules the country.

The Independent is read by people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong.

Or probably

The Independent is read by people thinking that whoever runs the country, is doing it all wrong. In return, they prefer to keep it all to themselves so as to be able to say afterwards:"Told you so!!"

Только с той разницей,

что читатели Гардиана таки управляют страной с 97го года.

При чем тут читатели Guardian?

Этой страной, как известно, управляют civil cervants :-)

Вот они как раз

и читают эту простыню.

Они читают Times, как было упомянуто выше.

Гардиан точно читал Франк Вайзель, политический советник Джима. Весь его образ был просто-таки пропитан чтением Гардиан. :-)

That'why I haven't read a newspaper for years :-)

Just wouldn't waste my time on it

The Times is a very good newspaper. :-)

Is there anything there I can't possibly find on the Net? :-)

The sarcasm, my dear fellow, the sarcasm. :-)

That's one thing I hate with all my guts - I prefer to laugh together with someone, not at someone.

OK, I didn't mean it in the sense of "caustic remark used to deliver a personal insult". I would agree with you on that one.
It's rather saying something outrageous with a straight face, leaving you guessing for a second or two - do they really mean it, or are they being sarcastic? The Times is great in a sense that it never explains it, it trusts the readers' intelligence.

Well, maybe you have a point. Yet, even those articles can be found on the Net, can't they? You don't have to read the whole paper to stumble upon one article...

Превосходно :) Сериал записываю в wishlist.

Так он там до сих пор не был? Немедленно запишите. Этот сериал необходим каждому уважающему себя англофилу. А Найджел Хоторн (так эта фамилия по русски пишется?) - это просто праздник для ценителей английского сарказма. :-)

Хоторн мне очень нравится, да. А Yes, Prime Minister так же хорош?

А премьер-министра я пока не видела. :-( Видела только 3 сезона министра.
Я думаю, стоит смотреть сначала, потому что там идет развитие характеров и взаимоотношений.

Кстати, оффтопик, а вы видели House of Cards trilogy с Ричардсоном? Это совсем другого плана, но тоже весьма забавно об английской политике.

Date: 2004-10-29 04:07 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] irene221b.livejournal.com
Нет, не видела. Думаю, что стоит добавить в wishlist.

У вас, кажется, недавно выпустили всю трилогию.

Так же хорош, да, те же актеры и примерно та же раскладка сил. Хотя там Джиму дают и выиграть иногда :)

Что ж будем над этим работать. А персонажей я пока не знаю :)

Думается, Penelope Keith (in "To the Manor Born")-- женский вариант для истинных любителей английского сарказма. Аж мороз по коже иногда от удовольствия..

Я чувствую, что мы с вами подружимся. :-)

Очень хотелось бы надеяться :-)
