The Standring Faculty of Sheep Husbandry at the University of Milton North

[DumSpiroSpero]

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!

My dear Miss Small. Let me carry you over to the sofa. Oh how small and pale you are.

Gizzy, will you please stop smirking?

Miss Twiglets! Milton ladies would never be so forward! I must first attend to Miss Small who, I fear, has fainted clean away.

Oh thank you Mr Thornton, I am feeling very giddy.

Steady on, Gizzy dear - you don't want to annoy Mr Thornton. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Perhaps Mr Thornton I could lean on you for a moment to regain my composure?

Milton ladies would never be so forward!

Ah but you've never met an Essex girl ;)

Perhaps a glass of sherry would revive you, Miss Small? Would you care for one too, Miss Twiglets?

Who is this strangely attired gentleman standing in the shadows, scowling? I concede he has a fine visage (rather like my own, I notice) but must he keep brandishing that sword? It is most unseemly when ladies are present.

Thank you Mr Thornton

Oh! Someone with a sword who may hurt you?!

Gizzy is just bad-tempered because he never gets a wibblesome on-screen moment, you see, Mr Thornton. You will have to excuse his rather precipitous behaviour on that account,

Have you got any Lambrini instead, love? Oops, sorry, trod on you with my white stiletto there...

Re. scowling - it's very hard to think of another synonym for that, isn't it? ;)

I mean to say What do you call this!

@ lambrini and white stiletto

Does my bum look big in this?

These boots were made for stomping

How kind of you to protect me, Miss Small.

I regret that I only have a decanter of sherry, Miss Twiggy. What is Lambrini? I fear we don't have it in Milton, although we do have a fine range of fruit.

I am not familiar with the word wibblesome (Mr Hale has never used it in his discussions of Plato) but perhaps, Miss Supermassive, you might encourage your friend to wibble elsewhere? I do find that sword most threatening.

I like that 'stomping' pic, Massive!

Small - 3...2...1 - you're back in the room (or was it you who said they hated Little Britain?!)

What fine sturdy boots your friend has, Miss Supermassive. I wonder whether my bootmaker in Milton would make me something similar.

You talking to me, Thornton? I'll wave my big sword about as I please.

Night all

see you all tomorrow.

And now ladies, if you will excuse me, I must retire for the night.

I must say, I do love that wibble is a verb :o

My dear Mr T forget the Lambrini then - what about a Babycham?

Night night, lovely Mr Thornton, thank you for gracing us with your pleasure!

Goodnight to you, my Lord Gizborne. you could take him any day, Sweetie! would pay to see that

I'm off to bed too. Night all!

Do you come here often?

Night all.

Come on Gizzy, time you were back at the castle before you turn into a pumpkin...
