Academy of Armitage Studies: The Research Continues

[asmallbunchofflowers]

Welcome to the new campus of the Academy for Advanced Armitage Studies, part of the University of Milton-Northern.

We offer courses at all levels from introductory to advanced and opportunities for independent research. Come and share your learning with us.

I thought the Gizzys Girl t shirt for you Theresa and Thrill at the Mill one for Flowers .

Oyster I was ridiculously giggly watching it. RA is sooooooooooo smiley in it . (this does not take away from the swooniness of the dark brooding RA at all!)

Yes odd no Lucas stuff Theresa.

Oh no! Don't like him at all!

Hmm, not bad. And I suppose I am somewhat prejudiced. Maybe it was the fruit after all.

Not wholly displeasing to the eye as Mr Rochester

He is popular enough to get his share of female admiration, though, Stripes.
I have seen worse. Natch, my heart like, totally belongs to Gizzy.

Perhaps we should send our own marketing ideas to the shop? Their range seems rather limited and would be enhanced, I am sure, by the Marlborough Mills doilies.

Good heavens. Mr Stephens seems to have about as many sites devoted to him as does Mr Armitage. So does Colin Firth.

What's that "A Clue? No" thing?

Definitely Flowers. We had such brilliant ideas that I know would make them and us a mint of money.
After this morning I am seriously craving mid-blue sheets and I am sure many other ladies would do.
''Comes with its own pack of dried rose petals. No Lucas included.''

I have no idea, Boden. I'm hoping that Theresa might enlighten us. She is The Oracle of all things Gisborne (assuming that's what it is).

A serious omission from the range is Nothing like a tragedy to bring out the do-gooders.

Sheriff's catchphrase, I think, Boden.

Theresa - Your urgent assistance is needed (see abaove).

It's only just occurred to me that we have some mid-blue sheets.

All the things you never wanted to know about Vaisey, and couldn't avoid learning.

Flowers, AND the N&S slogan supreme.

Turn back, Turn back and look at me

Was the sheriff thing the assistance you were requiring Flowers dear?
Or was there something else

Yes, it was the sheriff thing, Theresa. There has been no further trouble with tightly-knotted cravats. That little problem has been entirely, ahem, solved.

Woops, I got it wrong Flowers, sorry. I can't apologise enough. But then my brain cells have been seriously scrambled today. Do you realise that that dark indistinct twitter photo we thought was the work of TTL was actually the genuine article?

Nothing to apologise for, Theresa. I was just trying to reassure you that many years in the Girl Guides have left me with excellent knot-tying and untying skills which can be deployed in any situation. Ahem.

Racking my brains about the Twitter photo. Oh. That Twitter photo. Taken in a derelict building and sponsored by the National Society of Greengrocers and Costermongers. That one?

Had my evening planned with John's Lucas and Standring, now it turns out DH is staying in and I'll have to make do with him instead - bugger!

What twitter photo - what was the genuine article?! I am so sorry I'm not keeping up today - I've read all the posts but I don't recall any reference to a TTL photo?

Speaking of photos, sometimes there are no words

Some time ago, Boden, there was a link on Twitter to a photo which (being a sceptical sort and with a faulty memory) I thought was a hoax. But it was a still from the Spooks episode that Theresa was talking about earlier. We get to see Lucas taking off all his clothes. That's why Theresa's brain is (she says) fried today.

Tough luck, Mrs LN, can you dress him up?
We have been quite worried about John Lucas, not having heard from him for a bit. But tomorrow is another day.

But fancy my misquoting such a pivotal phrase, Flowers And yes, that photo, the one that we thought was posed by a botty double.
