Oh yes, if there's someone to hear the whining and moaning of an injury all the better. And if there's blood, well..

SupermassiveLBD · 26/04/2011 14:23

Do yours think the blood's all loose inside them, like water in a bottle, and if ther's a hole it'll all leak out? Grin Mine did, but they are more sophisticated now. Doesn't stop the moans though.

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 14:59

No it's just major squeamishness, any bash is followed by the cry of 'is there blood?!!' and heaven forbid if there is, I'm not even allowed to look at it Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 26/04/2011 16:01

Well, that was a storm in a tea-cup. More a case of hurt pride, than anything. I thought it might be, but I'm relieved he's okay, all the same.

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 17:01

Yes, thats the most important thing. Luckily the doctor didn't get called out, I can imagine the discussion 'I thought you said it was serious'?

DumSpiroSpero · 26/04/2011 17:11

Muse & John Porter...

(providing one of your DC's doesn't come ino the room at 1.15 Blush)

Phew! I'm glad we haven't been wasting the good doctor's time. Girl when she was about three used to say that her insides were made of blood, bones and germs - presumably in some sort of liquefied mess.

I have been on a Major Shopping Expedition and am so tired I could weep. I seem accidentally to have bought myself a sparkly handbag. How did that happen? .

SupermassiveLBD · 26/04/2011 17:29

It bloomin' well is his long eyelashes I keep seeing, isn't it Spiro? Which bit did your DD come in at catch you at, the barbecued Porter one? TBVH I am not all that keen on that particular vision, but Maud's favourite always provides a nice little frisson.

What do you mean you never go anywhere glamorous, Maud?. Haven't you just been to the City of Luurve. to see an Impressionist extravaganza To say nothing of a certain other outing a while back that had us all on the edge of our seats, not just you.

Won't you need a sparkly bag if you are obliged to attain a Film Premiere?

SupermassiveLBD · 26/04/2011 17:30

attend, I meant Blush

DumSpiroSpero · 26/04/2011 17:36

No, DD came in just as Porter was dreaming about Danni...

His eyes are lovely in that vid

And a little for Massive perhaps?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 19:25

Be Still my beating heart

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 19:27

::recovers from swoon::

Ah, yes. That Outing.

::swoons again::

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 19:48

Step away from the throat kissing Maud, it's for your own good, we wouldn't want you swooning too much and hitting your head on the chaise longue.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 20:08

Wasn't it you, Small, who inspired the bizarre habit unique fashion for strapping a cushion to one's head, in case of uncontrolled swooning? Anyway, it wasn't me wot posted the link to That Vid With That Scene.

How is Mr Stroppy Client now? Have you handbagged convinced him?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 20:28

::Dons protective headgear::

[cwink]

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 20:45

Hmmm it probably was Maud, very enterprising I thought.

Stroppy client still not convinced on new idea I will try again tomorrow.

Have you managed to watch the drover yet Maud?

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 20:46

[cgrin]

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 20:49

No, not yet. Girl is still overcoming her telly deprivation so we are watching non-stop Merlin. To tell the truth, I had even forgotten that the Drover was waiting for me.

::What a mug Brew emoticon::

TheSmallPrint · 26/04/2011 20:55

You forgot about the drover? [cshock]

I may have to watch it again now that Ive raised the subject..

SupermassiveLBD · 26/04/2011 20:59

Ooh, posh new smilies. If this is a royal theme, this biscuit must be from the House of Bourbon.......[cbiscuit]

I have been unavoidably detained so I have been unable to look at the Gizzy Viddy yet. Thanks so much in advance for thinking of me, Small, much appreciated, I am sure. Too much traffic around atm for me to have a proper swoon look.

Ah, that Night, Maud, I will never forget it, that, and the blue moon, and the nightingale singing. Tell us more about the sparkly reticule. What colour is it? And will it go with this season's key pieces?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 21:09

I am The Woman Who Forgot The Drover.

[cgrin] at House of Bourbon. Perhaps these emoticons were introduced after a revolution led by Garibaldi?

The sparkly reticule is midnight blue. I don't have any of this season's key pieces in my wardrobe, alas. I have a selection of elasticated-waisted tat timeless pieces suitable for old dears the mature and discerning woman.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 21:11

If we're speaking Vogue, does that mean that I can refer to a trouser and a tee?

::wafts about in The Devil Wears Prada mode::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/04/2011 21:15

Perhaps, Small, you need to ask MrSmall to run round the block a few times, to achieve that grubby and smelly manly persona that you find so inspiring? Or do I mean perspiring?
