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.

Now, this one I will show to TechnoGirl.

And this one too (although clearly, for the more sophisticated viewer, the Mr Thornton version is to be preferred): .

Goodnight Twiggy!

We watched Lost religiously but didn't give it a second thought once it went to Sky. Neither Jack nor Sawyer appealed to me but I enjoyed the drama. There are no less than three Doctor Who Fix Yous!

you beat me to it Phoenix! I got stuck in a transporter malfunction...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 07/02/2011 23:00

And on more territory...

Theresaholeinyourmind · 07/02/2011 23:10

All that, and Alan too?
Anyone gone off Fix you yet? I can see B&Q using it for their commercials next..

Repeated playing has devalued it a bit, I confess. I'll give it a break for a few days, but it would be a good song for a B&Q ad. Or an insurance company.

The scene: One driver shunts another in a traffic jam. Driver of the car in front gets out and ruefully examines his dented bumper and broken tail light.

The music starts ....

I wonder who could do the voice-over?

You are right, though, it's a great song and I shall be fine with it in a day or so.

I did enjoy doing the cleaning to Muse today, it made it almost pleasant.

Voiceover? Who do we know who does voiceovers for telly adverts?

I haven't seen around here too much...a little aspect ratio challenged, perhaps, but not too bad.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 07/02/2011 23:43

Haven't the slightest idea. Has to be someone with a bit of range and skill, of course, and a passing acquaintance with the arcane art of Good Vibrations..

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 07/02/2011 23:45

This always makes my heart dance all over the place...

Theresaholeinyourmind · 07/02/2011 23:50

That was fun Phoenix, shame about the ratio.
How nice to see dear Harry -- he tends to get overlooked among all the brooders and smoulderers, doesn't he?

I do empathise with the lyrics 100% as well.
That bit where she lands in the hole full of mud, that'd be me.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 07/02/2011 23:57

Aaarrgh, merrrcy, Phoenix.

Well, thats me definitely not gay, then...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 08/02/2011 00:00

Just need to lighten the mood, and get friendly ...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 08/02/2011 00:00

Night all, that's me done!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 08/02/2011 00:02

Night Phoenix, and thanks for the film show. I hope you rise again refreshed in the morning!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 08/02/2011 00:04

Time I was off too. Techno, goodnight to you and sweet, maybe fix you free dreams, just for tonight anyway.

Good night, Phoenix.

Is Guy automatic? Is he systematic? Is he hydromatic? No, he's
