I understand Laurie perfectly but the questions of Fry seem a bit...well, pedestrian.

Thanks lots for a good laugh on a gray day. I have some doubts however
on the pejorative application of the word "pedestrian" .
The best holidays I remember were pedestrian long trail trips.
Never a dull moment.

Isn't Fry the rock that makes Laurie roll?
Or the other way around?

the use of pedestrian to mean ordinary is quite pedestrian.

I just learned from milo's post that the word can also mean "dull" or "ordinary". I'm afraid there hardly is a word that is ordinary to me. cobwebs long since overrun by a Wellington boot, ha!!

Well hello, Consuelo, long time no see.

But me and joe would like to know
which of us should thank you for your discernment?
