Welcome to the new common room! Grab yourself some Twiglets and a glass of Chateau Gisborne or some Polish Cordial and come on in - the water's lovely!

I was Flowers, Confused now. I was wondering where RA might live.

HAve you bought any Muse yet Flowers or is it on Santa's list?

MrsLucasNorth · 08/12/2010 17:19

My Dad's from SE London and he though Dulwich was a fairly likely location too.

asmallbunchofflowers · 08/12/2010 17:20

I found a stash of Muse in the charity shop on Saturday. Bought one, but left the other as that was the one on my list and hints were dropped that Father Christmas might be displeased if I bought it. My favourite track so far is , but that's on the one I'm not allowed to buy.

I thought he'd already done that particular Impressionist masterpiece, Flowers.

Just having a little myself here at the thought of Flowers with her hammer and chisel delicately tapping away, trying to get The Nose just right and --- crack

D'ya know, Oasis, never mind sounding 14 years old and ripping off early Beatles stuff, even looked like Kevin and Perry from Runcorn Or worse -- Robin Hood.

Just testing my new festive name Xmas Grin

Theresaholeinyourmind · 08/12/2010 17:25

Xmas Grin, Mrs LN

StripeyMoon · 08/12/2010 17:27

Liking your new festive name Mrs LNP, slightly concrened at your Dad's ruminations at where RA might live! Xmas Grin

MrsLucasNorthPole · 08/12/2010 17:29

I asked his opinion on the nicer parts of SE London - he's a retired postie!

asmallbunchofflowers · 08/12/2010 17:30

Has he, Theresa? That little picnic scene is by Manet and he was (as we know) Monet. They obviously applied a great deal of artistic licence. I work in clay (or, more often, since parenthood, plasticine) so the risk is more likely to be of excessive squidging, but at least one can keep adding or subtracting until one gets it right. In the dining room, come to think of it, I have a piece for which the model was a descendant of Robin of Locksley.

Oh Lordy. TeenageTwitterLucas is really one of the Gallagher brothers. But in defence of Robin Hood, he is too clean to have been in Oasis, scruffy beard notwithstanding.

asmallbunchofflowers · 08/12/2010 17:31

Oh Lordy. We really are turning into stalkers, aren't we?

Xmas Envy at Christmas names. I want one!

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 08/12/2010 17:36

Then get one!

StripeyMoon · 08/12/2010 17:38

can't think of anything clever or witty (hence not likely to speak to RA when I bump into him in B&Q)

Theresaholeinyourmind · 08/12/2010 17:41

Ahem I wasn't referring to roles as painters, Flowers. Think fruit bowls.

Oh dear, squidging would be just as disastrous as cracking .
''' So sorry, I've just squidged your conk''

Maybe RH was in Oasis on his way back from the Holy Land, before he had his annual bath (whether he needed it or not)

You likee?

vintageteacups · 08/12/2010 17:50

Stripy and theresahole win the replies me thinks; especially love the Sonic Screwdriver quote!!!Grin

I reckon I would ask him something DIY related but pretend not to know who he was. When he told me "sorry I don't work here" or similar, I'd say "oh sorry, you look like a geek who loves DIY" (see previos post about his interview quote).

He would then probably stare blankly at me, kiss me (okay perhaps not that bit)and then leave :(

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 08/12/2010 17:51

StripeyChristmasStocking?
StripeyCandyontheChristmasTree?
StripeyFairyontheChristmasTree?

Ah, Theresa. You were thinking of nectarines. But squidging errors are easier to rectify.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 08/12/2010 17:56

I don't think that's all that fair with repect to my own B&Q remarks, teacups. I only bandied words in theory. My actual response would be something like

The height of wit.

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 08/12/2010 17:56

Your festive appellation, Theresa, is tres chic.

at vintageteacups' chat-up technique.

MrsLucasNorthPole · 08/12/2010 18:01

Going slightlt off-topic, I was having a CD sort out last night and found this on a Morcheeba album which I thought would suit any one of our favourite characters...

Using your mind

Imagine our skin

Joined at the hip

Joined from within

By using your eyes

You're freezing my frame

Watching our clothes burst into flames

(Undress me now, you know how)

Using your eyes now

(Undress me now, you know how)

Using your mind

Using your mind

So give me a light

Or give me a drink

Just give me a reason

To feel what I think

Theresahollyinyourmind · 08/12/2010 18:03

Your festive appellation, Mistletoe, is tres louche. I can see you eyeing up Mr Thornton, with intent.

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 08/12/2010 18:04

I think the off-topic bits are often the most enlightening part of our conversation but, then, I have the attention span of a gnat.

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 08/12/2010 18:05

Louche. Moi?
