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.

Evening ladies. Well all I can say is my kitchen table has never been graced by such activity, and I'm sure if you saw our post office runner you would understand why such goings-on are unlikely in any other Limpopville households as said runner is female and shall I say rather mature? My Amazon order is not all that overdue yet, they take a while to get from Blighty to furrin parts

BTW, I must point out that I do have an extremely sturdy kitchen table, should I ever need one. Some 'opes Sad

Right, I'm off to see if Harry is back in blighty pulling skin off the top of skulls. See you after..

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 20:56

Oooh, I do hope so, Small. I liked that Harry. I should be sorry to think of him 'demised' down the line from the eps we get.

Will look for the YT clip soon, but was momentarily distracted by

this

and this...

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 21:13

Well that vid was of course another no no for us here in the jungle so I couldn't possibly comment, but here is for that category

Mr Theresa doesn't often set foot in kitchens, Techno. So the sturdiness of kitchen tables is irrelevent to him even if his taste did run to large mature post persons.

Phoenix. re your distractions. I don't know how to spell it, but that noise Roy Orbison makes in his throat in Pretty Woman Oh yes, and mercy!

MrsLucasNorth · 31/01/2011 21:23

Phoenix - great pics, especially the first one. Whatever character he's playing he seems to do a very good 'almost there' expression, iykwim?! Grin

Theresa, I was thinking you might entice MrTheresa into the kitchen and

::we apologise for the interruption to this service::

Oooh, he was being very mean, moody and magnificent in that vid. The one impounded at jungle customs had this scene cut so that [[

Ooh in that Lardner's ring clip I was rather struck by this shot

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 21:37

Darn, that vid sure sounded like a good one. What was the music? Anyway, what greater sign of friendship is there that you should on my behalf, Techno. So kind

You know if I enticed Mr Theresa into the kitchen for shenanigans, I think he'd pass out from shock. That'd teach him to work from home so much...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 21:43

Do you have to bring Mr T a constant supply of coffee and biscuits

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 21:44

Oooh Phoenix, Guy does look rather delicious in that Lardner's Ring screenshot. He'd probably be annoyed though at all the females swooning at him like we do, when he wanted to be scary and threatening.

Unhand me, woman!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 21:48

Mr T gets a coffee when I'm making one for myself, Phoenix. which is pretty much every five minutes so he doesn't complain. Lovely biccies, I daren't buy anything but boring plain as I'd only eat the fancy ones and start bursting out of my jeans again.

Perhaps MrTheresa would prefer a cup of tea.

That vid was to the Weather Girls' It's Raining Men (other, inferior versions of this song are available).

Here's a for your Mr T, Techno

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 22:01

Or maybe he would like a glass of wine

Wow!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 22:05

Just had to crop that one...

This is sheer torture, Phoenix!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 22:13

He's good at the meaningful glance over the rim of a glass look as well...

Thank you for my own cup of tea, Theresa. I do like songs of that vintage, as you know.

I've been watching Glee and . Almost as much as the original.

Notice the bare calf!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 22:21

This brought me some joy tonight!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 22:22

You have eagle eyes, Phoenix. Goodness knows what other wardrobe malfunctions you have spotted Wink

Glee has not made it here yet, unfortunately, I have been reading about it and liked the sound of it.
