Academy of Armitage Studies -- the Research continues

[Theresahollyinyourmind]

Welcome to our newest faculty building. Make yourselves comfortable and ignore the smell of paint. We cannot keep up with the demand for new premises.

Thanks Snowy - better than 'd'h's comment that new highlights make me look like Cruella de Ville (they don't - honest )

Had plenty of time to continue listening to Venetia whilst in the chair which was a nice bonus!

Do we have to share that photo too, Snowy as well as the liquid refreshment? OMG is right, MrsLNP

ooh you can make that full size!

Maybe GTN - must admit I prefer him of the 2.
Not sure what I'd do with DH though...

Sorry I've not been around much recently..what have I been doing? Not really sure...anyway hi!

Hi Oyster

Mrs LN there are some thud inducing photos on there I must say. I'm sure it can't be doing my heart any good looking at these photos.

How's tricks? You working much next week or finished for Crimbo now?

TV is rubbish tonight. DH has just put on.Harry Potter but may have to sneak upstairs for the rest of BtS soon!

Snowy - I don't know if you've listened to Venetia or watched Between the Sheets, but I spent most of last night in a state of permanent hot flush!

Thanks for the Chateau Giz and Polish Cordial

We're watching QI

Did someone say that BtS is only £8 somewhere?

Those were indeed top quality research material MrsLNP showed us. A belated hello, Oyster, my connection went down, those photos must have scorched some wires.

QI not DH's thing unfortunately - I tend to stay up til silly o'clock watching them when they're repeated if I stumble across them.

It was a few weeks ago Oyster but it seems to have just been re-released in different packaging and is now £18 a pop!

It's really good though if you are able to get hold of it.

BtS costs 18 quid on Amazon, that's all I know.

Same on Play and it's dated 2010. I ordered mine about a month ago and it's the old version in the red box.

Story and acting is good although still not sure if RA's character is dubious or not. He is v. sexy in it though !

I'm waiting for Venetia from the library Mrs LN,
bet it's not the RA version.

Well, I have got the unabridged LOTN to listen to tonight. As I said earlier, it starts off with a quote in Old English. Which is novel.

What is LOTN?

I suspect that LOTN would definitely send me to the land of nod Holly, regardless of whether our face man was reading it.
Have just reached the point where Edward has pursued Venetia to London and is being a chauvanist twat! The bit where Damerel basically sends her packing after telling her he loves her was heartbreaking

Teri - you mean your LotN audiobook has arrived!! Woo hoo!!

I know that quote at the beginning (though I can't spell it) - it's from Beowulf.

Lords of the North, a novel by Bernard Cornwell. Mr Armitage reads the full version, there is an abridged one read by someone else.

Yes, makes me feel all intellectual to listen to it, Oyster. Looking forward to listening to the rest, I have a feeling it'll be a bit less refined than Venetia

LOTN - Lords of the North
By Bernard Cornwell. Read by RA
