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!

Oyster, Gimli (main dwarf in Lord Of The Rings) had a very full beard #notsexy

I think Robert Lovelace has just said what should be my modus operandi: "it's not good wine, but it is wine"

Literally ROFLing at drunken Lovelace talking of "places that ladies cry in... you know, woods, cupboards..." Not sure if those exact words were used in the novel but it seems very modern-day humour.

I'm beginning to think that Holly or Twiggy should have bought that PlasticGuy from Ebay, to practice the dressing and undressing.

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 21:45

No, no, holly, you are fine - it's me being dense. Or perhaps I am refusing to accept that there may actually be a reason why the boots scenario shouldn't happen Xmas Grin So problem solved then, boots off, leathers off, boots on. Bingo. Glad we've got that sorted.

Oh, how amusingly apposite! My OPI varnish of choice this even is a very dark blue and, obsessed as I am, I found myself thinking "this colour would really suit Lucas". Then I recalled that the name of the varnish is "Russian Navy" :)

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 21:46

evening, not even.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 21:50

That plastic Guy is eeew, creepy.

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 21:50

Russian Navy

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 21:53

Oh, Twigs I am almost passing out laughing at you, the boots and your Opi. And there are people about and I have to pretend I am quietly perusing the world's press, or something.
Just about blown my brains out with the strain

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:00

I cannot bear to look, says Mr Thonton

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 22:00

Holls, I hear there was a very witty cartoon in the Chicago Tribune today, if that helps...

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 22:04

Thanks, will check it out, Twiggy.

What is the matter with Mr Thornton, Missy? Is he worried that Twigs might want to do his nails with Russian Navy, as well as Lucas's

PrairieOyster · 10/12/2010 22:07

Just found this - guh

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:09

Oh, I don't think there's much the matter with Mr Thornton.

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 22:11

LOL at that pic, Missy!

Mr Thornton wouldn't want Russian Navy, I think he would need a burgundy shade called something like Milton Mauve.

And Guy could have Bootlace Black Xmas Grin

Actually, I always thought that naming OPI shades would be my dream job. They are all so funny (best one must surely be I'm Not Really A Waitress,which my toes are currently sporting).

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 22:14

Forgive me, Missy. I misspoke myself. Mr Thornton is truly sans pareil et sans reproche.

Oyster, YT sometimes doesn't let me see stuff, because of copyright ishoos.

There are a whole lot of comic strips on the Chicago Trib, Twiggy. Just what I needed!

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:20

I'm trying to remember the name of the OPI shade I had on my toes for weeks in the summer. But, hey, Mr Thornton being a Real Man does not need any further cosmetic adornment other than an application of soap and cologne.

How droll that there are two different Guy vids to that Bad Things song.

PassTheTwiglets · 10/12/2010 22:26

Strawberry Margarita are what my summer toes wear, Missy.

Lord, it's taken me about 2 hours to get throug th last part of Clarissa 'cos I keep missing bits and have to keep rewinding it.

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:30

So, your verdict on Lovelace?

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 22:31

Do you realise that my internet connection just blacked out on the news that YT had blocked me from watching a Bad Things vid?

MrsLucasNorthPole · 10/12/2010 22:34

OMG! Just started watching Marie Lloyd biopic - was not expecting that level of sauciness - pass the cool spray!

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:37

Oh dear, Holly. Maybe you can get the other Bad Things vid?

Like my toenails in summer,

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 22:42

No, it's gone! And I only looked at it the other day

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:45

I keep telling you not to underestimate the Victorians!

Theresahollyinyourmind · 10/12/2010 22:50

Who is going to do the honours this time? This building is almost worn out already.

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 10/12/2010 22:54

It must be your turn, Holly. Be sure that the signage mentions the serious intellectual purpose of the Academy and that we are only marginally behind Cambridge and Harvard in the international league tables for research establishments.
