Well, this should guarantee us some visitors if it comes up on 'Most Active'.

one for the mantelpiece

Ok, the next 2 aren't John Standring, but it would be rude not to...

yummy!

UMN Rector!

The whipping bit made me wince, I didn't like that :( And LOL at the RH3 bits for "dirty babe"; yes I spotted that too! I love the "look at those hips" bits that Maud spotted earlier, there are quite a few of those. And lots of yummy Lucasy goodness... :) I liked the bit where she pairs a shot of JP looking over his beautiful shoulder to the words "turn around".

Right, off for a date with Captain Macalwain and the ironing.

sorry

Tee hee.

Just had a very worrying phone conversation with the Olds. May be off comms for a while.

::chews knuckles::

PassTheTwiglets · 28/03/2011 10:42

Oh dear, Maud, that sounds very worrying. Check in and let us know how things are when you can.

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 10:49

Maud hope all is OK?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 11:30

Don't want to say much publicly. Parents are old and vulnerable. Over the weekend they were victims of a nasty attempted crime and it looks to me as if they were targeted because they are old and vulnerable. Where's John Porter when you need him, eh?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 11:35

But thank you for your concern Small and Twiggy. You're very kind.

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 11:36

Oh that's awful. Similar thing happened to my mum a few years back and it really shook her up, stopped her going out for a while as she felt so vunerable. Sad A few John Porters for elderly parents would be most welcome I think.

Speaking of mums, Spiro asked about blue badge, I haven't been yet, just waiting for mum to amke an appointment.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 12:02

It is grim. And it worries me because I thought my parents were too savvy to be hoodwinked like that. Even a well-aimed sock on the jaw from Mr Thornton would be welcome.

PassTheTwiglets · 28/03/2011 12:05

Oh, poor Mr & Mrs Maud. I hope they are ok and not frightened by it too much - though I'm sure they must be :(

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 12:07

Even the most sensible can be gullible if the 'right' person is there. It does make you angry about how people can be so awful to others. I've never understood it and never will.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 12:16

Exactly. But the Met Police are being very helpful.

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 12:40

I have just spent the last 10 minutes trying to find a Lucas shot with the Met behind him but have now given up. Surely there must be millions of screenc aps like that? Confused

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 12:50

I was feeling hard done to just now because YT wouldn't let me watch Sexy Back 3... I need a reliable proxy server, methinks.

But I was consoling myself with thoughts of freedom in just hours now.

And then I hear Maud's bad news and I felt awfully bad for getting so worked up over stuff that doesn't matter, when there are real horrors out there to be dealt with.

I am so sorry, Maudie baby, and I do so wish I could do something to help.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 12:51

::Our special agent takes up position on the rooftop::

I can't think of any scene where Lucas appears with Met officers in uniform (I think they're usually sneaky-beaky types and so in plain clothes) and there isn't a screencap of him being arrested outside the Chinese embassy. But I wasted a good five minutes looking.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 12:55

Sorry to hear about your folks Maud - that's horrible. Hope it wasn't too serious.

On the subject of SB3 - I'm amazed that she didn't pair the 'hips' with one of the belt-level shots of him trussed up in Strikeback (can't post a pic as am at work - but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about Grin)

Otherwise another superb bit of editing - I really must just search for her vids on YouTube sometime when I get the house to myself for a bit.

Hope you're enjoying UF, Twigs, although I'm not sure enjoying is quite the word I'm looking for...

::waves back::

Thank you, Massive. So, in a matter of hours you will be waving your lace-trimmed hankie as the taxi takes your guests back to the airport? Or will you be chauffeuring them there? Either way, here's a gratuitous back-of-taxi shot.

::Gets ready to throw a bucket of cold water over Spiro::

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 13:13

You so-and-so's I can't open that up at work Shock!!!!!

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 13:18

It'll be a treat for when you get home, Spiro 9and you're bound to have seen the taxi pic before).

I have completely lost my motivation mojo now so have just watched that vid again on full screen. As you know, it contains John Porter's throat-kissing scene that makes me gasp for breath I find quite interesting from a cinematographic point of view.

::wibbles::

::wonders what that vid could be, if only it had a little cravat action::

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 13:45

Spiro have you not noticed the 'words' and clip at 2.49?! Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 28/03/2011 13:50
DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 14:35

Ah - it's that one, Maud - I assumed it was the back of a taxi picture and therefore didn;t dare open it up at work - that one would've been fine.

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 14:37

No, that was the first back of taxi pic I found. I have your blood pressure at heart!

Going off comms for a while - see you later.
