fanfic101's LJ that the actor who plays Steve in Coupling(UK) played Norrington in PotC.
Lengthy pause while the rest of the world says, 'Yes? And?'

I'm reading my Ngaio Marsh stories again. Not in order; my favourites first and I'll work through to some of the terrors like Off With His Head and Tied Up In Tinsel.
