I suppose you could say I really LOVE House…
Call me a nerd, but when I’m down, I like nothing more than to peruse the countless regency chess sets on offer online (it always takes me ages to peruse them…there are countless varieties and no matter how many I buy I just can’t seem to get enough!). The game of Chess is nothing less than inspired if you ask me; it’s the ultimate intellectual battle between two opponents, and the best thing about it? Somebody has to win, each and every time. Unlike so many other things in life, it just isn’t open for debate.
Hugh Laurie, who plays the legendary character House in the mega-successful show of the same name, is someone who loves a debate – actually, to be more precise, he loves anything, providing it causes drama and for people to scream and shout. And although I often find myself debating with people in an annoying way which really doesn’t start the day off well, I don’t mind watching House get into a debate. In fact, call me crazy, but the angrier he gets, the better I feel and the more episodes I want to watch! I’d love to sit down and play Chess with House one day. Although I have a strong suspicion that I would lose the game and get angry. Not as angry as House though (just imagine, if I actually did beat him, it would be amazing! I could film his reaction and get a million hits on Youtube in no time!).
…I have also seen him at his most broken, when nobody believes in him and he is at risk of being fired…
