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!

tTat was Spooks 9, then, no wonder I hadn't seen it.

DumSpiroSpero · 23/03/2011 22:25

No thud detector, Massive - just lots of patience. They're all from the first 4 episodes of Season 9, which judging by the bod must have been filmed immediately after all his working out for Strikeback. If I was Maya he wouldn't have made it out of the room, national security issues be damned.

No, she wasn't, Spiro. Don't let on to Gizzy.

Eh? I never doubted for a moment that Small, who is after all an artichoke and thus a woman of accomplishment, knew how to pronounce chaise longue. I just thought it might be funny though clearly not to act like the sort of person who always uses French words in the proper pronunciation. Innit?

Ah, Massive, that's what the twanging sound was. I thought it might have been your bra straps, as your bosom heaved with all the emotion.

Speaking of Sir Giz - is it 13 episodes in the first series? Have just looked on play.com and it works out nearly £4 cheaper to buy it as the 3 separate volumes instead of the boxed set.

This is the courier, isn't it, Maud? I wish he worked for the island UPS and brought my Amazon goodies.

Yes, I think it is 13 episodes each series, Spiro. He is quite bad in RH 1, but very pretty, in a naughty smouldery sort of way.

DumSpiroSpero · 23/03/2011 22:43

how come he always looks so sexy in the back of a taxi?

Another little gift for Spiro

TheSmallPrint · 23/03/2011 22:44

No no ladies ignore, I just thought it sounded like I was being thick Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 23/03/2011 22:46

Massive I think we've long since established that we really couldn't give a flying fishcake how bad he is!

I was playing the beginning of LOTN for my dad the other day and OMG! That bit from Beowulf at the beginning. I think we need to petition Naxos to sign him up to do the whole thing in the original language.

Maud he's too smiley in that one, we need miserable face brooding sex appeal! Taxis seem to be the vehicular equivalent of a black shirt.

Ta muchly Maud. Started watching S9 dvds last week and started with that interview Smile

I know what you mean Small, sometimes he does slightly overdo it on the cheese grin front, although I liked that one myself.

It's not all doom and gloom, you know

DumSpiroSpero · 23/03/2011 22:53

...oh my!

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 23/03/2011 22:54

Yep Maud, that would be overdoing it!

OP posts:
SupermassiveLBD · 23/03/2011 22:54

OK, Spiro, agreed, bad is good Grin

I got shot with the Beowulf the night before last when I was consoling myself with a quick burst on my CD player, late at night. I was half asleep at the time but I woke up PDQ.

It would seem frighfully chi-chi and intellectual to ask for it in the original language, little would they know we were using it for nefarious purposes.

TheSmallPrint · 23/03/2011 22:54

Yes that's much much better! Grin

TheSmallPrint · 23/03/2011 22:57

Here I am being critical and not actually offering anything! Actually all offerings are appreciated. Off to bed so will review all in the morning.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 23/03/2011 22:58

I think I'll stop now. In fact, I'm going to go to bed and wrestle cravats.

Good night all.

TheSmallPrint · 23/03/2011 22:58

Apologies for overuse of actually and offering!

Maud those eyes!!

SupermassiveLBD · 23/03/2011 22:59

Constructive criticism is the way we learn to do better, Small. Grin
