A new term at the Faculty of Armitage Studies, University of Milton North

[LaVieEnTechnicolor]

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.

Morning ladies. Can't read back over last night yet but will do later. Just had to pop by to tell you about a rather pleasant dream I had last night. My subconscious decided that RA has a striking talent for.... (cont.)

....wait for it....

terrible handwriting.

I hate my good-girl subconscious :o

Bummer! Probably not completely inaccurate though, based on the spelling & grammar in his Crimbo message...

:) MrsLN

In the dream, it was my birthday and I was watching him in something at the theatre and when the play finished he gave me an envelope with a little orange stone in it and a birthday card which was illegible. He said nothing, didn't look at me, just chucked the envelope at me and wandered off - it's as if my subconscious doesn't even want to tempt itself :o

Twigs - missed opportunity or what!

recognise any of these, Twigs...

I just watched that passionate kisses video and now my lips feel chapped .

I am very of Twigs dreaming about The Man even with the bad handwriting.

This just made me laugh... interviews with cast of Strikeback at premiere last year

...just watch out for Orla Brady's (Katie Dartmouth) comment about half way through

Was quite weird seeing the characters in the clips after spending last night reading Strikeback fan fic

She hit the nail right on the head there!

She certainly did!

And going back to a Strikeback related discussion of a few days ago - that's what you call pupil dilation!

Tell a lie - the scene I mean is 2.41 - was a bit distracted and got the wrong frame !

Well, yes, indeed! I think it's just because of the dark lighting in there though Mrs LN . Amyway, I don't know about his but my irises have all but disappeared watching that!!

You know, I have been thinking about the little smirk he does all the time. While I think he is very sexy doing it a part of me wants to slap him, it's exactly the sort of thing DH does when he's trying to annoy me .

I can live with the smirk - I have to admit the 'Gisborne sniff' does make me grit my teeth somewhat (sorry, SMBD), although I can see how it works for the character.

Maybe your DH doesn't do it Mrs LN .

Sniff doesn't do it for me either .

Still I can 'live' with them all as he has so many redeeming qualities - well that and the fact that I don't really have to live with him.

Well, yes, that's very true. I'm sure he has just as many irritating habits in RL as most blokes. The nice thing is that we get to enjoy all the cute/sexy stuff without needing to know about those !

Hello all. It's a wonder I have the strength to type this morning-- but more of that later...

at Twiggs and the handwriting, etc. I am rather glad about the spelling etc as he has to have some faults, surely, or I couldn't believe he is real.!

too at Small's chapped lips. Will check out the JP vid later.

Now I think it was a previous incarnation of Maud who picked me up for referring to Gizzy as 'sweet'. Maybe not a lot of the time, but I have just watched the Meg episode and he is heart-meltingly sweet with her in that. And incredibly, heart-stoppingly handsome as well.

I am totally and completely overcome

Do I like the sniff? Not particularly but then I suppose it's on a par with the misplaced apostrophes.

Afternoonio Massive. Thanks for that post now I am going to have to watch that on You Tube. I wouldn't mind but I spent most of yesterday afternoon watching half of series 2 on there - well, skipping the crap Robin parts obviously!

What can I say, Small? Sorry about that! Enjoy...

Oh kerrumbs, I am still gibbering here.

SM - did you see on Twitter this morning that they've now closed down the Hobbit set until filming starts next month?

I am really going to have to purchase some Gizzy DVD's aren't I? I found a lovely YouTube vid this morning - it was lots of stills, which I don't normally like so much, but there were some nice Thornton ones and lots of really outstanding Gizzy ones.

Then my bloody PC crashed and I haven't been able to find it again

I have finally managed to wade through the last of the weekend's Armitage porn fanfic, so perhaps I might start being able to concentrate on RL now !

MrsLN - if you were signed on with a YouTube account then the video might be in your History.

Do you want some more fanfic recommendations? Did you read all of them? There are loads more

Gizzy is on my DVD list too, but they are so darn pricey...

Massive - Guy and Meg are sweet aren't they...wish they had played that out a bit more...

Yes, MrsLN, it all sounds official now doesn't it? Keeping my fingers crossed, for him as well as us -- must be a bit worrying and frustrating, all that stop/start thing they have going on.

Gizzy is divine, I do have to hand it to the Man for delivering a character that can be cruel, angry and very violent, yet so sweet and tender. And make you believe in him as a real person.

Of course it doesn't harm things that he's easy on the eye.

Phoenix, Guy and Meg are indeed sweet. I don't think anyone had been kind to him before. Mind you, I was quite disgustingly jealous

does that means he's coming home?
