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.

I am a very late convert to Glee but I think it's gonna be fun especially because I remember all the songs from the first time round.

Good evening, it is I opaque! I saw the Mumsnet groups thread and it reminded me of you all. RL has been a PITA and really got on the way lately. I sense there have been lots of parties, but also confusing name changes. Anyway, since the end of Spooks re-runs and RH re runs, I am feeling quite bereft so could benefit from the extensive library here. Speaking of Harry, last weeks Silent Witness was almost too much - like Lucas all over again.

Hello, Larf. I was thinking of you last night, when there was mention of teacups quivering in saucers. And I loved the unbelievable punch-up on your Moorcroft vase thread. Did you find something lovely in the end?

I am a recent name-changer.

Wow indeed at that photo you cropped, Phoenix!

So do we think Lucas South has had battles with Lucas North then?! South said "he's a bully"...? What did LGT do that made Lucas angry, do you know? I initially though South & North may be the same person because they both misused apostrophes and both used "your" instead of "you're" #grammarsnob :)

Well we finally finished Spooks 6 so next stop PSM!!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 23:11

Welcome back, itsalarf, I don't recall if we have met - I used to be PrairieOyster...

Anyway, greetings - still going strong here - Would you like a little for old times sake, perhaps...

MrsLucasNorth · 31/01/2011 23:12

Hi Opaque - welcome back! I know what you mean about RL being a pita - I have spent most of this evening whinging about mine on another thread under an assumed name Hmm!

After SmallPrint's earlier contribution to the archives I am now off to watch some Strikeback!

See you tomorrow, ladies.

PassTheTwiglets · 31/01/2011 23:12

Hello Larf! I was BodenBabe... got to dash now but catch you all later, night night!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 23:16

Twigs, I think that LGT, being a very enthusiastic fan of The Man, probably tweeted at TLN quite a lot, and I remember her complaining of being ignored before. However, all's fair in love and war, and I don't think that there is any lasting damage...I'm friends with her on FB and there's no sign of any angst there.

PassTheTwiglets · 31/01/2011 23:21

Ah, I see, thanks! I don't know her at all and don't see her tweets because I'm not following her... I hate it when something happens that I don't know about :o

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 23:28

I know the feeling Twigs, my computer crashed a while ago and I have been trying to get back on for ages. and now I have missed a lot of you. Angry @computer

Welcome back to the former member of faculty, I am too thick to think of a clever new name so I am still stuck with the old one.

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 31/01/2011 23:31

I am going to bed soon. So here is your four minute warning.

Techno, you are BAD I hope Larf is still around and will enjoy it.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 23:37

Phew, Techno...

Hey don't forget about Richard narrating Elsa the Lioness on BBC2 at 7 pm tomorrow (Natural World series)...I assume it will also be available on iPlayer shortly afterwards...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 31/01/2011 23:39

Theresa!!!

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 31/01/2011 23:42

Well, it's tradition, innit. Every so often we have the BWWMD, which is very well signposted so that those of a sensitive disposition don't need to watch.

By way of contrast, .

Nighty night.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 23:42

What, Phoenix? I'm hiding under mine, it makes a great air-raid shelter. I hope you didn't think I was suggesting you put it to nefarious uses. Wink

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 23:44

Night Techno. Sleep tight. And don't worry about the BWWMD. We love it really.

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 31/01/2011 23:51

For those BWWMD moments.

I think I might pension off dear old Barry. When did we last see young Miss Gaga?

Toodle-pip.

What I want to know is how Techno mamaged to steal a photo of my kitchen.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/01/2011 23:59

Did anyone mention
