Posted Thu Apr 23rd, 2009 3:12pm Post subject: AudioBoo Transcription Center of Transcripts
In case you haven't heard that the bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word. Hush, I mean to say that Stephen has his very own Audioboo page where he kindly updates his various adventures.
Superfluously, here are the transcripts of said Boos. Sorry, couldn't resist. Stephen makes every word sound wonderful, and I'm helpless to resist typing them out. All are welcome to update it as he Boos some more.
A Test Recording - April 21, 2009
Well, the time has come for me to make my first recording. Audioboo appears to be very simple, very intuitive, and let’s hope this works. Welcome to my Audioboo world, everybody.
Respondyboo - April 21, 2009
Well, thank you everyone for welcoming me. Already three people have kindly ushered me into the new world of Audioboo, and I assure you as one another that if I do get stuck in a lift again I will AudioBoo it instead of, or possibly as well as, Twittering it. It does seem a very interesting new way of doing things. One wonders whether or not sometimes it’s more effort to have to listen through people’s Boos than it is to glance at their tweets. It will be a revelation to find out whether or not one actually sticks with it. I suppose it depends on the length of the Boos. I guess they have to be kept short otherwise one’s heart will sink, so I’ll cut this one short. Bye-bye.
N’NightBoo - April 21, 2009
Good Lord! Is it really ten past nine? Way past my bedtime. Good night, all.
Springwalkboo - April 22, 2009
Well, walking back from a very happy sound recording session for Alice in Wonderland. And I have now an extra hour in my life that I never knew would be there, as I’d booked two hours for it and it only took actually about half an hour, so I’m walking back home quite cheerfully on a sunny, blossomy London. And what could be nicer than that? Almost nothing. Almost literally nothing. Except for lorries going past and bouncing on speed bumps, which is one of the perils of metropolitan living as I’m sure we all would agree. Anyway, how nice it all is. Bye-bye.
Westminsterboo - April 23, 2009
Well, I’ve had a very long walk this morning. I’ve walked all the way through to Green Park and St. James’s Park. I’m currently crossing Horse Guards Parade where they’ve got the seats out. I’m not sure what for. It can’t be the Trooping the Colour yet, can it? Gracious. Anyway, I’ve got to cross over Westminster Bridge and down to a press conference to attend that. It’s for the opening of the third series of Kingdom, the drama I do for ITV. So I mustn’t look too flustered and hot when I get there, so I’m not walking unbelievably fast. You might be able to hear the gravel crunching beneath my feet. The very gravel that Her Majesty’s horse would stride through in fitter, leaner days I suppose. It’s a rather splendid place full of government people marching to their doom. Anyway . . .

Pass the Saltboo - April 24, 2009
This is very much a Boo not a Tweet because for one thing I've come out without my bally reading glasses like an arse. That's if arses go out without reading glasses which they probably usually do. Anyway I'm in Trafalgar Square and on my way to Sir Clement Freud's funeral which is a melancholy occasion, but I'm sure there will be lots of people there, and it'll be happy to remember the old boy. So this is a very good use of Boo, isn't it, when you haven't got your glasses. Anyway, I'll let you know how the funeral goes. I'm sure it'll be absolutely wonderful. Cheerio.
Clementboo - April 24, 2009
That was far and away the most wonderful funeral service I've ever attended, if a funeral service can be wonderful. It was touching, elegant, funny, beautifully, beautifully organized. It was really remarkable. The music was traditional, but fabulous. "I Vow to Thee My Country", you know "To Be a Pilgrim" and so on. Of course I couldn't sing, partly because I was standing next to Bono which would have rather put my voice to shame, but also because one is so choked by it all. He had 17 grandchildren, Sir Clement, and nine of them spoke and were so charming and funny. It was a really great service. Prime Minister spoke. Representing of course obviously the fact that Clement was also in politics and he spoke really well. They'd known each other for 34 years. But it was not a political speech, it was just a speech for a friend. It was a really, really nice - the whole thing was wonderful. I was proud to be there.

Thank your, Fryphile, for the transcript.
Isn't it amazing how much our human voice is changing when anything impressive occurred? Whenever something left a lasting impression (no matter if positive or negative) your voice expresses exactly how you feel.
Listen to the recent audioboos just before and directly after the funeral!
(Laid-back first during the walk and deeply touched afterwards).

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Boo - April 26, 2009
Hello there. Happy Sunday. I'm just awaiting a car to take me to the theatre where I'm doing the rather drastic thing of stepping into the shoes of the late great Humphrey Littleton and chairing two episodes of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue". Fully cognizant of the fact that nobody replaces that extraordinary wonderful man. But everybody involved seems very keen for there to be more shows and as long as we're all aware that it won't ever be the same without Humph I suppose maybe there's no harm. There's great affection for the show. I'm chairing these two and then I think Jack Dee and then Rob Brydon. After they're recorded I race off to the theatre to the BAFTA dinner to drown my sorrows at not having won in either of the three categories in which I have an interest. But 'twas ever thus. But I have friends there who I will wish to congratulate and who will wish to commiserate with me no doubt. We shall see. Anyway, I'll try and get audience at "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" to do a kind of Boo for you. An audience Boo. We'll see if that works. It would be rather fun, wouldn't it? See you later.
AudienceBoo - April 26, 2009
Gentlemen, prepare for an audience Boo here at AudioBoo. I have a massive audience assembled at Her Majesty's Theatre, with some of the greatest celebrities in British show business. Tim Brooke-Taylor is here, Victoria Wood, we've got Barry Cryer, we've got Graham Garden, we've got this fantastic audience and they're all going to Boo after three. 1, 2, 3, BOO! An audience Boo. Thank you.

Talkyboo - April 28, 2009
Hello, Stephen here. I'm just waiting for a car to take me off to the Royal Geographical Society where I'm being interviewed on stage by the wonderful Libby Purves of Radio 4's "Midweek" fame. It's a strange week because on Thursday I'm delivering a lecture at the Royal Geographical Society, so it seems to be my RGS week. The subject of today's interview is essentially travel, which makes it appropriate for the Royal Geographical Society: travels in America and around the world and so on. And at the moment while waiting for the car, I'm relaxing by watching the snooker, which is about as much fun as you can have frankly without use of a water-based lubricant at any rate. Catch ya later. Bye-bye.

This really has come in handy, Fryphile. I was looking for tweet where Stephen said about giving a speech today, but couldn't find it. Then remembered your audio transcripts. There it is. You are the best!

I love audio boo for the fact you can subscribe to them on iTunes. Can listen to Stephen whenever I want....or Robert Llewellyn for that reason. I used to be EternalStudent on these forums until the switch over. So don't get excited..I'm not someone new and exciting. I'm just me :P

Stephen Booed more or less the same thing twice, which is nice.
Sandyboo - May 2, 2009
Well hello everybody. I'm in Dún Laoghaire looking across at the James Joyce Martello Tower. I had a wonderful time in the museum there looking at lots of Joyciana. And I met a couple of nice people who came 'cause they'd seen by my tweets that I was in the area. And I looked at the 40ft bathing place where there were some brave men and I think a woman but mostly men who were swimming there. And I saw Sandycove. All wonderful reminders, both of Ulysesses and the more modern novel At Swim, Two Boys. Not At Swim to Birds the great Flan O'Brien book, but At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O'Neal. A magnificent novel. If you don't know it I recommend it. And it's just wonderful to be out here. It's so beautiful and everyone's very friendly. But I'm not sure I can walk any further. I think I've done about eight miles and I'm completely exhausted, so I'm going to wait for a taxi or call for one or something, or maybe amble slowly back. But I've got a meeting so I can't be too late. Anyway, there you are.
Sandyboo - May 2, 2009
Had a wonderful morning. I walked all the way in from central Dublin to so Sandycove which is between Dún Laoghaire, the famous car ferry place, and Dalkey I think. And I saw the Martello Tower that's now the James Joyce Museum. Had a wonderful time in there, saw lots of Joyciana. I looked down at the 40ft bathing place and saw lots of men and I think one woman swimming in the snotgreen scrotum tightening sea. And everyone's been friendly and charming. I met a couple girls who had come down because they've seen my tweets and they were very sweet. And so it's been absolutely marvelous. But I walked off my feet. I must've done ten or eleven miles. I'm not sure I can walk all the way back to central Dublin again, another 11 kilometers. I may catch a taxi. Anyway, see you later.

Yeah, I found it this morning. I actually commented on the first, but then deleted it. I'm glad you posted it.
So tell me, Fryphile, do you actually know all of this stuff (which I can honestly believe that you do), or do you look it up before transcribing? Mainly I am referring to the two books he mentioned because I wasn't exactly sure what he was saying. That is one of the reasons I appreciate these transcripts, if I miss something I can count on you to get it.
