Would you like a glass of Chateau Gizzy?

I wonder, Massive, whether anyone was monitoring the air quality for exhaled hormones when he did it?

::graph goes off the scale::

I obviously have more willpower than I give myself credit for, as The Gardener was also urging me to clamber across the seats to go and shake his hand. If Teri had been there to give me courage, I might have done it! Can you imagine it though?

Oh Mr Armitage ... burble, burble ... greatly admire your work ... Mr Thornton ... tea cups ... burble, burble ... railway station ... see you on stage ... ::collapses delirious at his not inconsiderable feet::

the "look I'm lithe!" bit is the part I am most <img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Envy" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/envy-CqHTfWXN.png"> of, Maud!  It just sounded so funny and I can really imagine it.  That and the "oh my God, my pecs" line, or whatever it was...  :o    Truly heartbroken that there were no naughty people sneaking camcorders in :(

Maud, look away

At least you were left with your digity, though, Maud, there is always that comfort.

How does he manage to reduce a whole slew of mature, sensible and intelligent women to quivering puddles of goo?

And me, too, of course.

Oh, Lawdy, Twigs, FGS!!! I can't stand much more

I doubt it's an accident that there's a fire extinguisher in the background of that photo.

You'll just have to attach me to Ros-Stella's memory retrieval doobry, Twiggy! Speaking as someone who really is faaaarrrr too mature (aka old) to be indulging in all these illicit pleasures (although, as The Gardener knows what I'm up to, I suppose they are more or less licit). Besides which, it's Art.

I hope no one used the zoom feature on Twiggy's pic.

:o at fire extinguisher spottage. It's the 'biting' that works in that pic...

Massive, I so used the zoom. Close-fitting, aren't they? :o

Obviously a rushed shopping expedition there, Twigs, they are clearly the wrong size.
Lucky sunglasses

You are a pair of shameless Jezebels.

, though, Maud. We're only human

You are not human. You are vixens!

Vixens with a very soft spot for a wolfie.

Looky who's peeking in this Telegraph photo!

I was all set to write an incensed comment when they didn't mention the Man, but somebody else already told them off

:o at 'lucky sunglasses and the vixens/wolfie comment - you are making me giggle today!

Off to paint a window-frame, in the hopes that it will act as a sort of decorating bromide.

I choose my words with care, Massive! ::foxy grin::

Another one here hitting the zoom button (but you knew that already)

Massive, I so used the zoom. Close-fitting, aren't they

Twigs I absolutely shrieked with laughter at than one, can't believe H didn't actually ask me what I was finding so funny!

I have got my new speakers running - made sure I got a set with particularly good bass - roll on 7.30!

What's happening a 7.30? I've been in meeting all day.

MrsLN will answer for herself of course, Phoenix, but IIRC, she's going to have some time to herself this evening.

Is it me or does he look a bit 'chubby' with a beard?

I think he got a good seat next to the main character, it means he's in all the press coverage

Two questions have gone unanswered and I need them answering please.

mrs LN, where was that quote from?

Is that bloke from Eastenders? Someone else here must watch it occasionally!

Thank you.

Yup! By half seven H will be in the pub and DD will be in bed and I will have the whole evening to myself.

link to article with quote

Yes Rob Kazinsky used to be in Eastenders, one of the Slaters I think, not that I would really know!!! You can follow him on Twitter, he's a regular tweeter, the other day he tweeted a lovely pic of his dog!! @RobertKazinsky

Yes - Rob Kazinsky is Sean (?) Slater from EE.
