Do come in. It's never too late to enrol. We have an extensive programme of rigorous academic study and a never-ending supply of Chateau Gizzy and ratafia biscuits.

More like a one track mind in my case, Larf. I sometimes look at other threads but hardly ever post because I am doing my emails and other stuff, behind my academy desk lid.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 02/02/2011 23:25

Sweet Trivial Pursuits dreams to you Techno. I should be doing a late shift tonight but I doubt I'll stay the pace

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 02/02/2011 23:32

I pootle around elsewhere on MN, Larf, but don't often feel inspired to post. And apologies for asking you that bizarre question about Moorcroft lamps - in a Polish cordial-induced haze I thought you had said you used to be vintageteacups. Which you didn't.

Ooh. Can I revive my One Track Mind joke?

There's something interesting about video which is a clip from RH S2 E2 The Booby and the Beast. Starting at about 4.00 minutes in, there is another man standing next to Guy in the background throughout the scene, and later in another scene. He is often seen over the Sheriff's right shoulder.

Anyway, there is just something about that other man that strikes me as, well, rather John Porterish, if you see what I mean - there is a strong similarity in my opinion. So I was wondering what other people thought. He's quite striking looking in his own right.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 02/02/2011 23:45

That's interesting Phoenix, You mean the man who does a sort of thing with his mouth after the count has said ''the entire contents of your strongroom?''

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 02/02/2011 23:50

Yes, that's the one. When I saw that, I thought for a moment, oh he looks very like JP there, thinking it was Guy, but it isn't....so I am wondering....I know he as an older brother.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 02/02/2011 23:55

I have to go now - maybe pick this up tomorrow some time. I have an early start tomorrow as I have to go on a business trip, but I will have some time on the train, maybe.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 02/02/2011 23:57

Wouldn't he be in the credits though, whoever he is? But maybe not as in TV they don't seem to list everybody and his dog in the exhaustive fashion they do for movies.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 02/02/2011 23:59

Night night Phoenix. Good luck tomorrow with your trip and your CSI:Armitage Academy investigation

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 03/02/2011 06:56

Extras are not usually listed in credits, unless they have a line to say. Anyway it's pure speculation.

PassTheTwiglets · 03/02/2011 07:01

Anybody else think Will Scarlett is quite cute? Silly drawn-on-with-a-biro moustache aside... he doesn't seem to have a chance to do Acting in RH but he was amazing in Doctor Who.

FAvourite Abba song? Can't choose between Voulez Vous or Hole In Your Soul.

PassTheTwiglets · 03/02/2011 07:02

Phoenix, did you sort out your prob with TLN?

TheSmallPrint · 03/02/2011 08:00

Morning!

I got very excited there with your post Pheonix but having looked I don't think he looks like JP. He is a similar build/height and there's definately a wonky nose but I can't see anything else -sadly. It would have been nice to have another member of the family join us Grin. Although maybe if he dyed his hair black and used a bit of kohl?

Twigs who did Will Scarlett play in Dr Who?

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 03/02/2011 09:28

Twigs, No I am blocked by TLN along with most of our 'crowd' according to a DM I received and TLN's tweets are now protected.

I don't even know if TLN has been tweeting.

sigh

I'm still wondering about that RH scene - I think there is a strong resemblance. But we'll never know for sure.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 03/02/2011 09:29

I'm on a train to Birmingham for a business meeting - but hopefully online again afterwards.

PassTheTwiglets · 03/02/2011 10:08

Small, did you see the episodes where the Doctor him himself away as a teacher at a boy's boarding school? There was a creepy alien family who disguised themselves as humans and Will was the one who posed as a schoolboy. He was brilliant - so creepy!

I guess I'm the last to know as I've only just started watching RH but I didn't know Guy also had the name Crispin! Not sure if it's a middle name ie. Guy Crispin Gisborne - I suppose it's more likely to be his surname ie. Guy Crispin, of Gisborne?

Phoenix, I'm so sorry about TLN. You've always been lovely, so I wonder why he did that! Shall I have a word with him or would you rather I left it? (not that I correspond with him and I doubt he knows me but I can DM him). I see Jo Portman is also not friends with him now - seems like this whole weird thing has really blown out of proportion! I assumed he just blocked the 1 or 2 people involved but obviously not. I don't like JP and TLN not being friends :(

TheSmallPrint · 03/02/2011 11:14

Yes Twigs I did see that one, I don't watch RH really (on tele!!) so probably wouldn't have put the two together at the time.

ALl this Twitter stuff seems to be very school playground at the mo. I'm not on it so can't really comment but just the reports from you guys make it seem like they are being a bit childish about something?

Theresaholeinyourmind · 03/02/2011 11:55

Oh good morning, ladies. I am feeling rather chipper today, having had three whole hours of Guy

RH2.4 on the telly and the first two episodes of season 3 from DVD. I thought I wouldn't like him all greasy long-haired and dirty, right? Wrong, Theresa. Oh golly, what is to become of me?

Twiggy, I think Will is cute too, in a totally thudless way. And so is Alan, traitor though he is, he has these big blue eyes. And rather a nice torso. But again, no thuds whatsoever.

What is all this Crispin business? I haven't come across that yet. Is that from season 1? I gave up on that temporarily because I needed a peek at RH 3.

I thought Armitage Major was in a mundane profession so wouldn't be flaunting himself in front of a camera. TBH if I were him and there was any resemblance I'd go about with a bag on my head, for safety.

I think I must have been blocked from TTL too, not that I tweeted more than half a dozen times ever. Maybe he heard what I said about him on here, and the Runcorn reference rankled.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 03/02/2011 12:10

Stop press: I did TTL an injustice. I am not banned. I must be like the Earth in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- mostly harmless Grin So still unblocked as an oversight, rather than by choice.
First real pic of Heinz Kruger to be found on the site with the screencaps! Being beaten up. Sigh...

MrsLucasNorth · 03/02/2011 12:12

I still appear to be getting TLN's tweets, but given that they are primarily about snogging grannys and beige Ford Fiesta's this morning you're not missing much.

What actually happened? All I know is what I've read on here. As far as my timeline went, TLN was there, then disappeared, then changed his name, then disappeared for a couple of days and re-emerged this morning wittering on as above Confused!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 03/02/2011 12:22

Same here, re Lucas, MrsLN. I mostly sit back and look on in amazement and puzzlement, anyway. Same with JP. What happened with the Danni thing?
And why do I care? Well, I don't really, I am just inveterately nosey

TheSmallPrint · 03/02/2011 12:32

Ha ha Theresa, I saw the opening line on 'Threads I'm On' and thought 'what's T chipper about, what has she been watching?' only to open the post and see - 3 hours of RH!!!

TheSmallPrint · 03/02/2011 12:33

PLease can I have a link to Heinz?

Theresaholeinyourmind · 03/02/2011 12:43

Here you go , Small. Middle scan. But you can see that from the thumbnail, anyway. he has some of one of his products splashed liberally over his shirt collar, it seems

Three hours of Guy, well-groomed and gorgeous or manky and just as gorgeous.What else could Theresa be chipper about, eh? Grin

TheSmallPrint · 03/02/2011 12:49

Ta for that, despite the dodgy hair (again) and being beaten up he still looks scrumptious Grin. Maybe I could gently cleanse his wounds for him..
