Ok Rule it is! Can't stop now but will be back later.

Have a good day everyone!

Oh Massive that dream sounds fab - but what a pita waking up from that must have been!
Looking forward to catching up with all the vids when I get the chance.

Falconry & fencing this morning so very Gizzy-esque!

Did any of you see the thread about keeping champagne in the fridge 'just in case'? Apparently Polish Cordial whizzed through a Soda Stream is v. good!

Oh Massive, how lovely for you! Did it make up for the slightly rubbish one? I've never had a good dReaAm - I suppose even my subconscious is a good girl, dammit :)

Yes, Rory is definitely cute-cute, not rugged-cute - he belongs to the same Genre Of Crushes as David Tennant and Martin Freeman. Small, LOL at your "eeny meeny" comment :o

Golly-gosh, Maud. That photo is even better in such close-up detail.... yummers!

Spiro, let us know if you spy any wolfishness! I did see that 'Champagne on ice' thread but didn't read the PC tip.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 14:17

Just spotted this which on the surface of it is OT, bit I thought ew, thank goodness we get no news items like that to contemplate.

Twigs, I was so surprised I was seeing him that I couldn't concentrate on a proper swoon, so it was not quite as good as it sounds.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 16:07

Me again. Just to say ah! Look at the bunnies! [bugrin]

PassTheEasterTwiglets · 21/04/2011 16:30

I want some bunny ears!! How do you get them - for some reason the list of emoticons has disappeared from their usual place!

DumSpiroSpero · 21/04/2011 16:31

Robert Pattinson is 24 and doesn't know how to wash his pants! He needs a kick up the proverbial pronto then doesn't he?

PassTheEasterTwiglets · 21/04/2011 16:31

Wait, I found them! How silly am I? [bublush]

The shocked bunny is my favourite: [bushock]

PassTheEasterTwiglets · 21/04/2011 16:36

Couldn't agree more, Spiro! What a PLFW.

DrTwigs is out tonight, so the world is my lobster! DD has zoomed ahead to the end of RH2 so I have about 4 episodes of that to catch up on, then there is Frozen or the rest of The Impressionists. Or then again I might just Fanfic it [bugrin] I have been told (and could have imagined anyway) that there is some very odd stuff out there but I found some today. Read a bit and giggled but then got grossed out and didn't read any more. How do you fancy Lucas... with Guy.... as an alien. Okaaaaaaaayyyy. There are more things in heaven and Earth that would freak you out, Horatio...

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:04

That, Twiggy, is why I never go near fanfic (apart from Spiro's Standring opus) - you never know what lunacy is lurking behind the bland exterior! And why on earth does the Independent, which is constantly pompously banging on about what a serious and worthy newspaper it is, think that Robert Pattinson's VPL is news?

::despairs of the world::

I wouldn't throw a custard in his face

::gratuitous::

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 17:05

Aren't the bunnies fabby ? [buangry] I think they are the best festive ones we have had so far.

Twigs, Lucas...with Guy? I hope you don't mean what I think you do. Bring on the [bushock]

I don't think I shall bother with Twilight now. Even if he did know how to wash his own pants, 24 is a bit wet behind the ears.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:10

RP was good as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. Have the SuperBoys watched those or would they consider them 'lame' (or whatever the term of derision is on the island)? Twilight the book is so formulaic-written-by-numbers-awful that it's good, but I have no wish to see the fillum.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:12

The new bunny bunting ....

[bugrin] - [buangry] - [busmile] - [buwink] - [busad] - [buhmm] - [bushock] - [buenvy] - [buconfused]

Why not Maudie? Then you could lick it off.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 17:16

The Superboys don't do books, Maud

I luurve the bun-ting

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 17:18

Oh, the films --they aren't too keen on fiction at all, zero imagination.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:19

Then you could lick it off

Gosh. You are ruuuuude. Besides, as we know that dear, darling Mr Sex On A Stick Thornton has a fiery temper and reacts very angrily to any perceived insult to his integrity, throwing a custard in his face may not be the introduction most likely to lead to a beautiful :;cough:: friendship.

[buwink]

DumSpiroSpero · 21/04/2011 17:21

Twigs isn't it Lucas, Guy and Ros that get it together after killing off Sarah Caulfield who had turned out to be an alien?

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 21/04/2011 17:23

Surely this [bushock] is the Hugh Hefner bunny? Grin

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:23

I admire your, ahem, stamina, Spiro!

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 21/04/2011 17:24

Spiro! Just seen your Hugh Hefner bunny! You too are very ruuuude.

::Faints::

DumSpiroSpero · 21/04/2011 17:30

It wasn't stamina, it was insomnia and I was speed reading.

OP posts:
PassTheEasterTwiglets · 21/04/2011 17:46

I hope you don't mean what I think you do

Oh, but I do [bugrin] Blimey, Spiro, I didn't know about Ros too! I was just skimming to get an idea of whether it was worth reading* but I think what really put me off is when Geraldine & Alice from Dibley came into it! What drew me to it originally was that there was apparently one where Guy was a vampire and I wondered if it was that one. I've always had a... um... thing for vampires (oh, have just realised that's probably why I like the SB throat-kissing scene!)

Spiro, ROFL at your Hefner bunny!!

Have to admit that I loved the Twilight books. Yes, they're not well-written but neither was The Da Vinci Code and I loved that too. Hated the Twilight films though, truly rubbish. I did like Cedric Diggory though :) I am about to introduce MissTwiglets to Harry Potter, actually. I thought that the plot would go over her head and the films would probably scare her - but they have a whole HP world in Florida so I want her to know the characters afore we go.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 21/04/2011 17:52

I have just snorted my tea down my nose at the HH bunny, thus occasioning much Superboy alarm. I think they were more bothered about the fate of the lappy though than the delicate state of my nasal passages

Maud, I would never dream of throwing a custard pie at Mr Thornton's face myself, as a complete stranger. However I thought you, as a intimate acquaintance might feel able to indulge in a little more frivolity.

DumSpiroSpero · 21/04/2011 19:00

Who is Rory btw?

OP posts:
PassTheEasterTwiglets · 21/04/2011 20:24

He's in Doctor Who - he's the husband of the girlie companion and so has become a companion himself. You're not allowed to call them assistants anymore...

So DrTwigs is out, the kids are both in bed, the rose has been cracked open, the Easter egg is in the fridge and now it's all about meeeeeeeeeee, yippee!!
