Of course, what we really need for a Harry Kennedy thread is Smile

SupermassiveLBD · 01/04/2011 23:53

Ooh la la was pretty spicy, Spiro, IIRC.

Ladiez, this discussion of course is helping you to decide what not
to spend your valuable time with.

SupermassiveLBD · 01/04/2011 23:56

Spiro, that was lovely. I do like the way he leads with his nose.

DumSpiroSpero · 02/04/2011 00:01

ROFL! Have just searched Mumsnet talk for 'lewd' in the hopes of finding that vid and 6 of our threads came up!!!!Grin [grin Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 02/04/2011 00:08

How does the accused plead?

Guilty, M'Lud

Oh dear, that's us told, then Grin

BessiesGrand · 02/04/2011 00:09

What? Only six? I think they are underestimating you ladies.But , on the other hand, compliments on the exceptional use of euphemisms.

DumSpiroSpero · 02/04/2011 00:15

No they weren't the only ones by a very long shot - am still hunting for video. Starting to wonder if it was Gimme More and I imagined it having other characters in it Confused?

SupermassiveLBD · 02/04/2011 00:21

I suppose it can only be fun,looking, Spiro. Really gotta go, now, ladies, I have an early start tomorrow.

I think one is quite rude - well the song is certainly very suggestive .

TheSmallPrint · 02/04/2011 08:30

Spiro does that mean we wrote the word lewd or that someone is judging us? Shock

DumSpiroSpero · 02/04/2011 09:49

After watching that vid Small I have come to the conclusion that Marion must have been clinically insane to choose Robin.

We'd used the word lewd btw, not a judgement of us, We're not remotely rude...oh no! Wink

cornishpasty · 02/04/2011 10:35

Great vids. But don't think I should have watched them now when I'm with my kids all day and dp is at work. I could do with him being here right now! Wink

::Notices that the curtains are somewhat crumpled and look as if they might have been slept in::

::Plumps up the cushions on the chaise longue, puts the empties in the recycling, feeds Uzi the cat and then wanders off::

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 02/04/2011 18:31

Evening - there seem to be quite a few visitors to the Institute these days....

Sorry Twigs was not around so didn't see your post asking about Twitter Lucas till now.

Actually I just remembered that a certain event was supposed to take place today on Twitter concerning him and "someone else" - must find out what has happened...

PassTheTwiglets · 02/04/2011 18:35

I've been watching it, Phoenix. I have a very scary feeling that she thinks it's real Hmm I have been DMing another Twitterer who's quite popular down here, who insists that they are both barking mad.

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 02/04/2011 18:54

I hope our recent visitors will become regulars - at least they don't seem to be here to sneer - but I've always said that that Twitter way madless lies! ::wink::

So how's the TwigBoy today?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 02/04/2011 18:54

Or even madness. Accursed spell-checker.

PassTheTwiglets · 02/04/2011 19:24

TwigBoy doesn't seem to be ill but he is Whining For Britain. Thanks for asking, Maud. I did smile at your joke about the curtains being slept in :)

OP posts:
SupermassiveLBD · 02/04/2011 19:47

Evening, all. I am relieved to see the curtains have been rturned, albeit in somewhat crumpled state.

Poor TwigBoy is obviously not feeling quite the thing, I do hope he perks up soon as I am sure Mummy feels like doing some whining of her own by now.

This morning's vid was another one they wouldn't let me see. All right YT, be like that.

DumSpiroSpero · 02/04/2011 20:16

Evening all! Just a flying visit as I have a friend coming round any minute. I was reading a poetry book lady night and thought this leant itself rather well to the Academy (notwithstanding the last verse or two getting a bit too serious). So with apologies to John Fuller, here is...

Valentine (to Richard Armitage)

The things about you I appreciate, may seem indelicate:
[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/UF/album/UF5/slides/uf5_17.html I?d like to find you in the shower
And chase the soap for half an hour.]]
I?d like to have you in my power and see you eyes dilate.
I?d like to have your back to scour
And other parts to lubricate.
Sometimes I feel it is my fate
To chase you screaming up a tower or make you cower
By asking you to differentiate Nietzsche from Schopenhauer.
I?d like to successfully guess your weight and win you at a fete.
I?d like to offer you a flower.

I like the hair upon your shoulders,
Falling like water over boulders.
[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/StrikeBack/album/Episode1/slides/ep1_248.html I like the shoulders, too: they are essential.
Your collar-bones have great potential]]
(I?d like all your particulars in folders marked Confidential).

[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Specials/album/BAFTA2010/album/slides/TonyBAFTApic1.html I like your cheeks, I like your nose,
I like the way your lips disclose
The neat arrangement of your teeth
(Half above and half beneath) in rows.]]

[[http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?q=richard+armitage&site=images&ei=Wi6XTfDCI4OS8wPXo-GkAQ&ved=0CCAQ7AkwAg#i=109I like your eyes, I like their fringes.
The way they focus on me gives me twinges.]]
Your upper arms drive me berserk.
I like the way your elbows work, on hinges.

I like your wrists, I like your glands,
I like the fingers on your hands.
I?d like to teach them how to count,
And certain things we might exchange,
Something familiar for something strange.
I?d like to give you just the right amount and get some change.

I like it when you tilt your cheek up.
I like the way you nod and hold a teacup.
[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode4/slides/ep4_073.html I like your legs when you unwind
them.]]
Even in trousers I don?t mind them.
I like each softly-moulded kneecap.
I like the little crease behind them.
I?d always know, without a recap, where to find them.

I like the sculpture of your ears.
[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode5/slides/ep5_028.html I like the way your profile disappears
Whenever you decide to turn and face me.]]
I?d like to cross two hemispheres and have you chase me.
I?d like to smuggle you across frontiers
Or sail with you at night into Tangiers.
I?d like you to embrace me.

I?d like to see you ironing your shirt and cancelling other dates.
I?d like to unbutton your shirt.
I like the way your chest inflates.
I?d like to soothe you when you?re hurt
Or frightened senseless by invertebrates.

[[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/Spooks9/album/episode8/album/slides/8_285.html I?d like you even if you were malign
And had a yen for sudden homicide.]]
I?d let you put insecticide into my wine.
I?d even like you if you were the Bride of Frankenstein
Or something ghoulish out of Mamoulian?s Jekyll and Hyde.
I?d even like you as my Julian of Norwich or Cathleen ni Houlihan
How melodramatic
If you were something muttering in attics
Like Mrs Rochester or a student of boolean mathematics.

You are the end of self-abuse.
You are the eternal masculine.
I?d like to find a good excuse
To call on you and find you in.
I?d like to put my hand beneath your chin. And see you grin.
I?d like to taste your Charlotte Russe,
I?d like to feel my lips upon your skin,
I?d like to make you reproduce.

I?d like you in my confidence.
I?d like to be your second look.
I?d like to let you try the French Defence and mate you with my rook.
I?d like to be your preference and hence
I?d like to be around when you unhook.
I?d like to be your only audience,
The final name in your appointment book, your future tense.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 02/04/2011 20:31

Oh wow!

SupermassiveLBD · 02/04/2011 20:47

Very clever, and very amusing, the way you illustrated this. Spiro. It must have taken you an age!

I didn't know this poem, but it's a very good one. I am very pleased to have seen it and must look for more by this man.

I hope you have a great evening with your friend

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 02/04/2011 21:45

Love the poem and the illustrations - several had me in a puddle on the floor....

SupermassiveLBD · 02/04/2011 21:56

Me too, Phoenix, Especially, of course, the ''hair on your shoulders'' one. I rather hoped the pic would be something like that. Smile
