Mumsnet Talk

According to Wikipedia, he's been with his 'partner' since 1965...

Partner is female, alas

I texted him back "wtf are you discussing alan rickman's sex life for at work?"

he texted "don't worry, I have not mentioned you, Harry Potter, or bumming."

I said (sarcastically) "oh well done"

he said "yes it was quite tricky"

I watched the Red Arrows fly overhead from Parliament Hill - I had a great view.

Most popular dates for meet-up are 20 Oct & 3 Nov, I think everyone has done it now.

Birds, your DH is hilarious. All mine does at work is gossip about people I don't know. And we're not allowed talk about that kind of stuff in the staff room.

I still have no fic-reading time. New meds make me sleepy so I can't stay awake long enough to read. I have a day off next week and I'm going to drop the DCs to school and do nothing, all day.

Love this disection of BPop and the trainwreck that was Robsten...

"Don't fucking touch me, dude!" is what the paps say fell out of Kristen Stewart's mouth this morning when a bodyguard tried to help her walk through the crowd at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It warms the core of my cunt gene knowing that supposedly spending weeks Emo-ing into her bong over shitting on RPattz's sparkly heart hasn't changed her miserable bitch ways.

KStew wore RPattz's dirty hat on her head AGAIN and this means that either: a) The prop master of the staged production known as her fake relationship with RPattz hasn't collected it yet or; b) KStew wants the dried unicorn sweat from RPattz's enchanted forest hair on top of her head as much as possible; or c) That actually isn't RPattz's hat. KStew stole that hat from a hobo she bitched out after he looked at her funny. Shifty hobos and RPattz do have the exact same fashion sense.

While promoting On The Road at TIFF yesterday, The Associated Press asked KStew if it's going to be awkward promoting the last Twatlight movie in November with RPattz and she only said, "We're going to be fine. We're totally fine."

Some of the crazed Twihards on Twitter think that means ROBSTEN IS UNBROKEN and real, authentic true love isn't dead, so they don't have to spend the rest of their nights bawling into the pile of dead cats they didn't take care of, because they're too torn apart to leave the house to buy cat food. But to me this just means that Robsten's contract has expired and at the premiere of Twatlight in November, they're both going to behave themselves and won't scrap over that hat while Bear Pattinson cheers RPattz on.

Team, I forgot to add the 'com' at the end of my email address.

Shifty hobo and rpattz share exact same fashion sense

I would laugh so much if it wasn't his manky hat

Mumsnet is broken It keeps eating my posts.

Team, I'm going to have another quick read of your planning tomorrow, as I've had wine and need to go to bed (I got up at 5am this morning thanks to DD). It all looked fine though, but I'll have a think about the different sections on the last one.

Manky hat! UUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH! It's a very funny article, well found, Team!

At least it wasn't the beanie, though. That would be even more grim.

Though TeWi is right, it would be way more funny if it was some other hat, completely RPattz-grime-free.

Penguin, the extra Sherlock scenes just stop, and she did promise moah didn't she

I have also been thinking (ok, obsessing) over why that fic works so well and this is what I have come up with. The transition of an asexual seeming character to a very sexual one. The transition of a seemingly straight character to a bisexual one. The transition of a friendship to a sexual relationship. The weirdly dub-con sort of accidental BDSM relationship. All the sex club stuff, threesomes, voyeurism, sexual sharing, etc, but done with fantastic emotional depth. It's a lot more than porn because of the way she writes everyone's emotions. The very personal POV - we are right inside John's head the whole time in a way not many authors manage. I think any one of these elements would be fic gold, but the combination of all of them - well!

It was too porny for me, especially early on. I prefer sex with a connection, I think. And fantasies not based on porn - I really find porn a turn-off.

I fully realise that I am probably in the minority on this one.

But there's loads of connection, Omi - it's just that the connection is between John and Sherlock. Like that scene in Left My Heart where Draco directs the blow job etched into memory. Plus, hard fnar to find a bloke whose fantasy wankbank didn't start with porn, I suspect.

I agree Birds, it's the shift that's so great. I actually liked it least when they did get together at the end - but the build up was amazing.

Evil, are you not a Dlisted aficianado ? It's practically the first place I look, the writer is hysterical.

I know it's about the connection between John and Sherlock, but I am uncomfortable with the whole framing of it, about the other people and the focus on specific acts/scenarios. I felt exactly the same about Left My Heart too. I think that I am not a voyeur.

My views on porn are probably nothing like anyone else's on this thread, but suffice to say that it really isn't my cup of tea (irony of ironies, I know).

I don't identify as a porn fan. I got so much emotional connection from this fic, I found a lot of it quite touching. Not just John and Sherlock, but the OCs as well. It was all highly idealistic and impossible I suppose, that people would do all that porny kind of stuff in this very caring and respectful way, but it really worked for me at the time. It seemed sort of like ethical porn, LOL. Am wondering now if I have been kind of duped?

I do like voyeurism in fic, I fully admit (no shame?)

No, that all makes sense, birds. I guess it's just one of those horses for courses thing. And I'm a donkey. Or something like that.

Maybe I need a little fic break or something. Or a break from my kids. One of the two - I'm feeling a little flustered at the moment.

Has made me think, though.

I think maybe i DO like porn. I just think it's 'wrong' for various reasons (not too dissimilar to yours I don't think). But when it's dressed up as something else that gets it past my 'I don't like porn' radar, I bloody like it a lot.

Well I like it all written down, just some things more than others. And I do need some child-free time - I'm writing this while sitting on mybbed, chatting to DD while DS jumps up and down and destroys things.

I wish DH didnt have a drawer full of bike bits in the wardrobe - he gets so angry when DS goes in it, but why store things at DS height? It is a treasure trove of dangerous pointy things and delicate fiddly things. Sigh.

that seems to be a bit of a dh blind spot if a sample of 2 is anything to go by, then

(that kind of sounds like i have 2 husbands, but i meant mine and yours)

my dp keeps condoms and, ahem, things like that, in the wardrobe, just where children would want to rummage
