People who call themselves Horatio - Are they for real???

[JeremyVile]

.....Just wondering

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

No. This man is a fraud.

[MrsScavo]

Has anyone ever actually met anyone called Horatio?

[purpleflower]

Met a baby Horatio a couple of months ago.

[MrsJohnCusack]

ooooh oculd start a thread entitled 'People who call themselves 4real - are they Horatio'


seeing as how that mad Kiwi couple tried to call their baby 4real

[TotalChaos]

no, they just think they are called Horatio but I just know that they are just making excuses, they are really called Neville.

[MrsMarvel]

Never met one myself, but there was a little boy in my ballet class called Horace. He never became a great leader though. Even though he was the only boy in the class.

[Desiderata]

Norky ... leave the great HN alone or I'll undo yer bra straps when you're not looking

I once knew an Horatio. He played horn.

[MrsJohnCusack]

horatio from CSI is a travesty on the memory of Nelson AND HOrnblower

[madamez]

Depends if they are as devoted to the Profanisaurus as I am.


Or of course they could be a classicist... Oh Tiber Father Tiber, to whom the Romans pray/ A Roman's life, a Roman's arms, take thou in charge this day
And thus he spake and speaking, sheathed
His good sword by his side
And with his harness on his back
Plunged headlong in the tide

[Desiderata]

I agree with MrsJC (for the second time in half an hour) that the Horatio in CSI is a total twunt.

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

Oh, er, um, I meant him.

[MrsJohnCusack]

obviously not memory in Hornblower's case, him being made up and everything

[Desiderata]

I'll have a glass of whatever Mademez's having ....

[Desiderata]

God, but that man was gorgeous as Hornblower [swoon emoticon]

I saw him in something recently and he didn't do it for me at all, but oh, oh, oh, those breeches.

[madamez]

Hey I once decided just before a trip to Rome t the age of 17) that I would learn the whole poem. Before looking in the book and finding out that there's something like 2000 lines of it.

Mind you, if you'e not all good, I will recite therest of what I know.

[JeremyVile]

Dont Desi - its spunk....

[Desiderata]

madamez is drinking spunk

Weeeell ... whose is it?

[MrsJohnCusack]

faints at gratuitous pic of Ioan Gruffudd

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

Is Ioan Gruffalo related to Catherine Zeta Jones?

[MrsJohnCusack]

oh god yes
spent the weeks after DS's birth nearly 6 months ago slumped in a beanbag feeding and gawping at Hornblower

with extra bits of Paul McGann just to make it extra specially swoontastic

[JeremyVile]

Well, this is madamez we're talking about..could be anyones.
