just a portakabin maybe, till we can find a proper building?

Oh, how dreamy Maud, no one can beat la Streisand. or the prince of all our dreams.

Why is my particular version so stompy and shouty though, I do wish he'd chill a little...But maybe that's part of his charm.

Spiro, I did a quick greedy read of your story and it just gets better, some great lines there
I'm not that drunk and you're not that married
And John, so sweet and honourable. sigh. I can't wait for more but I can aways read what we've got again and again.

Ladies, it is masterful

PS Sgt Twiglets is growing on me fast. Do you think he'd come and rescue me from my life of boredom and petty aggravation, here on the island?
With his big gun, natch. Grin

Oh Grin and puke, not necessarily in that order. And we worry we are obsessive Shock

Not for those of a sensitive disposition

And apologies also for the DM link.

Massive - you are very kind. I've had loads of fun writing it so far. Had hoped to get some more done today but RL have taken over somewhat.

Glad you got the end and found the little 'surprise'! Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 10/03/2011 14:17

As for that guy with the tatts - eeewwwww!

SupermassiveLBD · 10/03/2011 14:23

Lucas's are far more tasteful, I have to say.

I got to spot JP's, today too. And his scar.

afternoon all, I have been without wifi until my new hub was installed. All lovely now though.

Maud, what news from the dr?

Spiro I am waiting eagerly for the next installment. Crack on!

Massive, glad you're starting to enjoy Mr Porter a bit more, we did tell you to have patience Grin.

Those tatts were hideous.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 10/03/2011 16:39

Really sorry I couldn't make the party - RL intervening I'm afraid - everything got busy suddenly. But I'm sure you had a good time anyway.

My news - we are getting a blu-ray player on Saturday so am thinking of getting some new disks to play in it!! Whoop whoop!! But it seems the only ones available are RH S1 and Strike Back - anyone know of any others?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 10/03/2011 17:02

Thanks for asking, Small. No particular news from the doctors - we saw two - they have ruled a few things out but we're still no nearer to knowing what it is, rather than what it isn't. I need gin and the sun isn't even over the yardarm yet.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 10/03/2011 17:03

Phoenix - I can just about cope with dvds so am clueless about Blu-ray, except (to judge from friend's FB status updates) the things seem unreliable.

Ah, though, good news. Mr Jackman is now sitting on my sofa, waiting to entertain me.

DumSpiroSpero · 10/03/2011 18:00

Hi Phoenix! Haven't a clue about blu-ray I'm afraid - good luck!

Maud, what a pain. Anything allergic seems to take forever to sort out. Has DD been in contact with anyone wearing strong perfume or similar? I only ask cos when I had DD a visitor to the next bed wafted past in a cloud of scent & in minutes I was puffed up and wheezing like no ones business.

I will hopefully pop in after 10pm if anyone's around. Am off to a friend's for coffee tonight. Must admit I did consider crying off as I was having lots of fun with John Standring earlier, but there's going to be cake too so he'll have to be patient!

DumSpiroSpero · 10/03/2011 19:11

But before I go out, can I just say thud!

SupermassiveLBD · 10/03/2011 19:16

Poor, poor JS, spurned for a slice of Victoria sponge, that won't do his ego much good. I hope you make it up to him later, Spiro!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 10/03/2011 19:54

Quick visit to say that I am also going out but will hopefully be popping in later - after 10 pm also.

Havnen;t really caught up - but will do

Have you lot been watching the Cats rehearsal videos on YT at all???

DumSpiroSpero · 10/03/2011 20:01

Cats rehearsal vids

I think maybe I'd rather not go there...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 10/03/2011 20:06

Someone posted the links on C19 a few days ago, and some detective work has been going on...This blogger has some links and pics.

PassTheTwiglets · 10/03/2011 20:36

Oh Good God, those Cats videos are miaowingly icky - am I allowed to say that? I'm afraid my allegiance can't stretch as far as him in a ponytail with legwarmers

Spiro, LOVING that pic! Also reminds me of one of my fave ever Academy quotes "like a particularly sexy game of pass-the-parcel" :o

Muse and Maud, how unknowingly cruel of you to mention lost shoes and Cinderella. I apparently left one of my favourite shoes in Disneyland Paris as it wasn'tr in my case when I returned. They say they haven't found it but it must bt there. I wear them all the time as they are so frumpy comfy. One of my friends remarked that I was chanelling Cinderella :)

Off to have a quick bite and then it's Maltesers, Chenin Blanc and Spiro's story!

PassTheTwiglets · 10/03/2011 20:58

Can't cut & paste from Wattpad for some reason but am on Chapter 1 now and I love "Lisa we're family now... never think you can't tell me things"

PassTheTwiglets · 10/03/2011 21:04

"a voice in her cried 'he's not Andrew!"

No he's not, he's 100 times better, you silly cow!!! Anybody else feel like she doesn't deserve John?

PassTheTwiglets · 10/03/2011 21:05

you silly cow

I'm sure it's obvious but just to clarify that I was addressing Carol there, not Spiro :o

SupermassiveLBD · 10/03/2011 21:05

For some weird reason, I couldn't open Spiro's sexy parcel pic earlier on but now the link works perfectly. I wonder if the interweb gremlins were trying to save it till after the watershed for me.

Amd I have to say, once I got my sticky mittts on that little bundle of delight, I wouldn't hand it on to the lady next to me, no siree. Cue for Never gonna give you up, here but as it's still early I wont do a link.

I am sort of wary of looking at the Cats rehearsal vid, but as I have nothing agaisnt leg-warmers, I might just survive. And I only find male ponytails totally repulsive on men with grey hair and/or receding hair-lines. Though they are not my most favourite masculine coiffure.

SupermassiveLBD · 10/03/2011 21:08

Spiro's story is absolutely thuddingly heart-stoppingly gorgeous, isn't it, Twigs?

You're like the little child, holding onto the parcel for an extra long time, just in case the music stops :)

Oh so that's who Rosie Tattersall is!!
