until they turn blue
It’s a bad sign that I have forgotten to post on my beloved blog for 2 days is a row. I’m going to take a little break to figure out what A Brit a Day should do next–and I mean a tiny little break, because I’m sure I’ll be posting something James May-ish on Monday. Just try and stop me!

More of Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon in the delicious “Sense and Sensibility” adaptation by Emma Thompson.
I was thinking about James Blunt and googled a picture of him in uniform, was then reminded of how many photos I’ve filed away of Brits dressed for battle [Jason Isaacs is particularly good at this], and went kind of berserk with this post. I have to say, the additional swag of the fighter pilot make Tennant and May look pretty good.
Here’s a picture of Alan Rickman from the period in which he was performing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, January 2011. The lengthy sideburns were for the play he was in, but I find them strangely attractive. So many fluffy hairs to run your hands through on that shaggy head, so little time…
I now know that these two were cast as the Reagans for the movie “The Butler”. Will I see it? Haven’t decided yet–it could cause my brain my to explode.

Photo was captioned “Alan Rickman attends the annual Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Party at Stud House, Hampton Court on June 5, 2010 in London, England.”
Stud House.
Maybe he’s not the next Doctor….but he’ll always be our Professor.
