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!

Added to which along comes the BWWMD.

Those hips on a stonking great HD screen

Oh and may I, in the interests of scholarly research, take issue with something Massive said earlier? She posted a picture of something purporting to be an angel. It was no such thing. This is the face of an angel, albeit one who has fallen from grace.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:02

Those Gizzy fallen angel pics are so lovely...double wibble moment...

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 23:05

My mistake, Maud. but as Small is more of Lucas Lady than a Gizzy Girl, I thought she might prefer to see Mr North welcoming her at the Pearly Gates.
Added to which there's always a bit of a whiff of brimstone around the Dark Knight.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 23:12

Extracts tongue from cheek

Yes indeed, Massive. But for me (and I know this has been hotly debated since the earliest days of the Academy) I think there's more than a whiff of sulphur around Lucas, too.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 23:15

I guess Lucas is no angel, too. Sigh. But they are both so appealing.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:18

Lucas in Spooks 9 - whatever you think of the character, writing or whatever, Lucas looks the hottest, swooniest and generally most thuddable that I have ever seen him in that series - gimme a cold shower please!!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 23:19

Gosh, you're inspired with the alliteration tonight. I've been worrying whether I am a Thornton Floozy (which around sarf London would be alliteration, as Fornton Floozy) or a Thornton Trollope ....

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 23:20

::Throws bucket of cold water over Phoenix, as she requested::

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 23:21

Perhaps Small will let you borrow her gi-normous industrial fan, too, Phoenix.
Have you been ogling investigating him on your new telly then?

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:24

No, unfortunately I don't own a copy of Spooks 9 (darn it!) I just can't justify the cost, however I might invest in Spooks 8 soon because the release of 9 has caused the price to drop significantly.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:25

But I do have all 8 episodes saved on our hard disk recorder - only trouble is that it's not connected to our new telly - it's in a different room, different floor even!

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 23:33

Bozhe moi, over £25 smackeroos! Shock

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 23:40

Yes, but ::goes to investigate:: it's about 8 hours of televisual angst joy. So you're paying roughly £3.25 an hour for the pleasure of ogling Lucas in a black shirt deepening your understanding of global geo-politics and the military-industrial complex. Isn't it worth it?

On that note, I bid you all good night.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/03/2011 23:45

I expect it all depends whether you prefer black Prada or black leather...
I am somewhat loath to watch Lucas destroyed, as a matter of fact, however gorgeous he looks, even if they offered it to me free.

Goodnight, Maud, and sweet dreams.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 23:49

Massive I felt the same as you re watching the downfall of Lucas North, but I caved anyway and am very glad I did! Grin

Have just Pm'd you re Truce!

::Looks back at you::

I think that's a wise choice. Because we'd been there since Spooks 1.1 we had to stick with it but, oh. Some illusions are best left intact.

Sweet dreams.

::Totters off to bed, hoping for a better day tomorrow::

DumSpiroSpero · 28/03/2011 23:50

G'night anyway chaps - looks like I'm in the spare room with DD tonight Hmm

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/03/2011 23:51

Goodnight Spiro.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:54

So pretty

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 28/03/2011 23:57

Truce is rather naughty I have to say Blush although by no means the naughtiest one I have read Grin

I think we are still waiting for the epilogue.

SupermassiveLBD · 29/03/2011 00:01

Goodnight Spiro, I am off too Wink

Nice pic, Phoenix, lovely nice thought to take away with me, as I am off to bed too.

Night, all!

SupermassiveLBD · 29/03/2011 00:02

darn, I didn't delete that second ''nice'' after all

DumSpiroSpero · 29/03/2011 00:16

Phoenix that pic is just...wibble...thud!
