The first 5 minutes of TI was absolute heaven for me, RA playing Monet on a steam train...fantastic!

Love the guy that plays Renoir too.

It was lovely, wasn't it? The only moment I didn't like was when poor Bazille got shot by the Prussians.

gratuitous smock shot

I'm still waiting for a doctor, you know.

A paint brush?

Tickle his nose?
Paint him a moustache?
Turn him into The Illustrated Man?

You choose, Maud.

Just count the days, Massive. Exercise your SMF a bit by placing it in your basket and then wait a while before you actually buy it. I've had John Simm sitting in my basket for about a year.

DumSpiroSpero · 16/03/2011 22:38

It's over the weekend isn't it Massive? So if you order TI now it should arrive just in time for chill out session once you get your house back...

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/03/2011 22:39

The Illustrated Man, did you say?

::Gives up the unequal struggle and makes self comfortable on the floor for the foreseeable future::

SupermassiveLBD · 16/03/2011 22:46

Nah, sadly Spiro, it's till the middle of next week. So I better restrain myself for a few more days at least.

That's some teddy bear!

Right will say g'night as phone is about to die.

I've recently put RH Series 1 (Blu-Ray!!) in my basket but haven't yet pressed the "order" button. But I have just returned Between the Sheets for the second time, and now I am getting my money back and since the prices are about the same....maybe!!!

PassTheTwiglets · 16/03/2011 22:54

Am trying desperately not to retort to the gutter here, but what is one supposed to do when presented with the phrase "John Simm in your basket"?! Which John Simm is it, Maud?

I read a Lucas fanfic story tonight which was quite nice but it sort of fizzled out towards the end. Can't remember the title but there was a girl called Aimee in it and shed was with him just before he went to Russia. Are there tens or hundreds of Lucas fanfics, does anybody know? I almost daren't look but this one just caught my eye after looking at Spiro's story again.

Right, off to bed - night all!

PassTheTwiglets · 16/03/2011 22:56

... one step, two step, tickly under there

SupermassiveLBD · 16/03/2011 23:01

{grin] Twiggy! So you know that one too! Remember the ticklish scenes with the good Dr Track?

Have a good night, you and Spiro, and Spiro, thanks again for, and congratulations on, your wonderful JS fic.

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/03/2011 23:02

Oh, I knew someone would try to lower the tone, despite the or being (as far as I know) no lewd meaning to the word basket. ::rolls eyes at Twiggy, the naughty scamp:: It is Crime and Punishment.

PassTheTwiglets · 16/03/2011 23:04

Oh how silly of me, Massive! I was trying to think of a good pic for "tickly under there" and Dr Track didn't even occur to me!

Sorry Maud - but I hear "John Simm" and I think naughty things :o

Really going now....

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 16/03/2011 23:05

A little bit of what you fancy...

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/03/2011 23:10

::snort:: He appears to be mesmerised by Rupert Graves' Shirley Temple wig!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 16/03/2011 23:11

There are Lucas North fanfics about, though not as much as for JT or GoG. I've read a few naughty ones too......

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 16/03/2011 23:13

It seems to me though that the Lucas North fanfics tend to be quite dark and/or naughty.

SupermassiveLBD · 16/03/2011 23:17

That's twice I have tried and failed to post the 'Friends Romans and countrymen, lend me your twiglets ears' gag!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/03/2011 23:19

Come on, Massive, do it now.

That was it, Maud.
