Time for a new specialism, methinks!

Yes - I would have cut the sheriff's head off for you if I could have done!

You really must,ahem, familiarise yourself with John - he is thudworthy in the extreme!

I have been making and listening to a playlist on Spotify featuring all the tracks from my fave YouTube vids (sign of a misspent middle youth Grin). Am working on getting them all downloaded onto my phone too Blush.

Wonder where everyone is today? I hope we're not going to crash a burn after the other day's events - I thought we'd recovered our mojo quite well last night.

Hey - Phoenix! I was starting to think we were heading for the big thread in the sky Sad.

Mind you - it is the hols I guess. I have the 'advantage' of DH being home too (and looking pover my shoulder as we speak) Grin!

Hmm I was wondering if it wasn't half-term-itis too

Just looking back (no pun intended) at your 'change', Massive and wondering how many photos there are of him in head back, eyes shut, mouth slightly open pose - perhaps I could start a dedicated gallery?

But who's complaining, eh? It's a very appealing sort of pose.

I wasn't complaining Massive - those pics are probably my favourites - but then as you know I have a very naughty imagination Wink!

Evening all, sorry I've been a bit rubbish today, I am desperately trying to get some work out and it's all a bit manic. Why is work always such a rollercoaster instead of a nic smooth ride - or is it just me? Grin

some lovely pics there tonight ladies. I'm on the phone so can't offer anything. I really am rubbish!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 22/02/2011 22:25

White T-shirt pics are always a winner!!

In that scene in Strike Back, when he says "All our lives" it has been overdubbed rather obviously...with a very deep voice...

Anyway, here I am again - no more unwelcome visitors tonight then?

I'm working on the assumption that Shiney was having a jolly good laugh at our expense - hey ho.

Fluffy seemed quite interested though...

Half term is tough, but I spent a pleasant enough morning today in some gardens with the little ones, spotting butterflies, feeding ducks and being thankful that I no longer have to change nappies...

DumSpiroSpero · 22/02/2011 22:31

Oh yes wrt nappies - although the constant 'Mummy I need to loo' at the most inopportune moments did my head in almost more.

How old are your littlies Phoenix?

SupermassiveLBD · 22/02/2011 22:31

Lovely photos, Spiro. What a charmer JP is. I am seriously tempted...

Hello, Small, hope you get it all done and dusted pretty soon, so you can come out and play.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 22/02/2011 22:32

Funny thing I learned on Twitter today...the other RA (that bald American politician) was in Christchurch when the earthquake struck....I mean what are the chances that both RAs would be in New Zealand at the same time as the earth moved....?

TheSmallPrint · 22/02/2011 22:34

Another meeting tomorrow but hopefully will be able to play for a bit after that. Massive you should get SB even DH enjoyed it.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 22/02/2011 22:34

My littles are 4 and 6, but I was in the company of some others who had littler ones...I am just glad that is behind me now - I've had my fill!!

TheSmallPrint · 22/02/2011 22:35

Thats weird! Maybe he's stalking his namesake?

DumSpiroSpero · 22/02/2011 22:36

Is our version in New Zealand though, Phoenix. They've got a gap now between boot camp anf ilming as far as I can gather, and Strikeback was starting filming around now, so have been wondering if he's not doing that.

But I suspect you have inside information...?

The Tale of Two RAs was weird indeed. I hope they didn't both come through the same airport, that would have been confusing for Immigration.

Somehow I doubt it Massive Grin!
