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!

Twigs have PM'd you re UF - just in case anyone else is planning to watch it and doesn't want to know what happens.

hahahaha I knew you would think it was Footwell! I almost told you but didn't want to disappoint you. Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 15:39

Small I love that you've given that pic its own name Grin

Have just given DD & her mate a plant mister each and sent them into the garden cobweb hunting!

What a great idea re. the mister, Spiro! If you've got any paintbrushes to hand then a brush and a bucket of water is great for 'painting' the walls outside the house.

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 16:15

Saves any confusion when you want to be clear about which taxi photo we're referring to Spiro Grin.

::Staggers in::

Am exhausted by the day's exertions. Do you think a nice doctor might prescribe a tonic?

::hopeful::

PassTheTwiglets · 28/03/2011 17:29

Would that be a gin and tonic, Maud? Look into my eyes and just relax

Look, someone else is worried about you too

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 17:50

::swoons::

When I was younger and more right-on, I would have poked any man who called me "baby" in the eye with a rolled-up copy of Spare Rib. Now I'm just pathetically grateful.

::Looks for gin and a nice bar in which to drink it::

::giggles girlishly::

(and I didn't mean Maud before you start)

TheSmallPrint · 28/03/2011 18:01

(although she of course is very lovely)

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 18:17

Call me a traitor to the cause, but in response to Twigs second photo, may I just say PHWOARRRRR!

Actually I was watching that episode a few days ago and wondering, when he offers her 'pimp' £50 for a couple of hours, is that part of his cover or is Lucas just getting a bit desperate?

::ignores the slur on her pulchritudinous charms::

What sort of low dive have we stumbled into here, Small?

I don't fancy yours much.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 18:21

Really, Spiro darling, are there any pictures of Lucas to which your response isn't phwoarrrrr or worse?

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 18:21

LOL @ 'I don't fancy yours much!' Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 18:22

Yes, unlike many the 'american beauty' stills really don't float my boat at all.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 18:23

LOL @ you lot.

Guests have gone, meanwhile, waved off with the regulation lace-trimmed hanky and a crocodile tear, and I sat down and stared blankly at a wall for a couple of hours, to recoup.

But now, ladies, I have just been shivered to the depths of my timbers Shock
In the nicest possible way.

The Massive family sat down to a scratch tea, tonite, after which Muggins was as usual clearing up while the Superboys played channel roulette on the telly (sorry if the mention of televisual devices causes Maud a frisson of angst) I was just exiting with a precarious pile of crocks and nearly dropped the lot, because all of a sudden The Voice boomed out behind me ''She will not have me, mother'' or words to that effect. They are showing N&S again, and I didn't know.

But alas and woe is me, there was something footie-related on elsewhere and poor Johnny was shown the red card

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 18:35

:Puts down her gin and toyboy tonic:

Welcome back, Massive (not that you've actually been away). I trust the house guests paid you many fulsome compliments for your hospitality and care before you left.

What a treat that they are showing N&S again on the tropical island. Dear Johnnie will never be shown the red card here.

::trembles::

::falls off bar stool in most unbecoming fashion::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 18:41

before they left, even.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 18:54

LOL @ gin and toyboy.

Oh yes, the guests were very appreciative of my efforts and was I sure I didn't want to see a doctor, that fixed smile of mine looked suspiciously like lockjaw.

No, that last bit was my over-active imagination kicking in.

Lovely vid, maud, and the subtitles were a bonus. But that wasn't the scene I saw. It was earlier on than that Confused
This scene in episode 2. I think

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 19:04

I have a feeling it was you wot first found that vid, Massive. And that lovely pic, too. Be still my beating heart.

::still collapsed on the floor of the bar::

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 19:05

I must be suffering from Gizzy-deprivation, too, because at times his timbre seemed to go very Gisborne-like. Normally, I don't see or hear much likeness between the two of them.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 19:07

I don't remember finding a vid with subtitles, but then my brain feels as if it's been diced, dipped in tempura batter and deep-fried.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 19:07

::gets up, reeking slightly of Russian cigarettes and spilt Polish cordial::

There are moments of vocal similarity, Massive. I notice it in the other direction, when watching RH. Have you seen Small's link earlier today to the RH spoof?
