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

Have a good day everyone!

Just had to post this... :Thud:

LadyVenetia · 27/04/2011 23:13

Or even this!

SupermassiveLBD · 27/04/2011 23:14

And why not, indeed, Lady V. Nice.

I'll have you know, Masssive, that Snog, Marry, Avoid is shown on the Bee Bee Cee and is squarely in the Reithian tradition.

SupermassiveLBD · 27/04/2011 23:31

It sounds divine, Maud!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/04/2011 23:37

Just pray they never show it on the tropical island, Massive. Diplomatic relations would come to an end within moments. It is car crash TV in which trollops and bimbos of both genders are paraded for our edification.

SupermassiveLBD · 27/04/2011 23:46

Sounds like my kinda program, Maudie.

Knowing the superb intellectual and cultural qualities of Island TV they have probably already bought the rights and are making thier own version.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/04/2011 23:48

I can't imagine that Island culture could withstand Snog Marry Avoid. The island elders would all die of heart failure, just as I nearly did when first I espied the programme.

SupermassiveLBD · 27/04/2011 23:52

You'd be surpised, actually Maud. we are not short of home grown trollops and bimbos and that's just the news readers and weather girls.

SupermassiveLBD · 27/04/2011 23:54

I think the worst TV program I ever watched was on MTV, involving Miss Paris Hilton's search for a new BFF.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/04/2011 23:59

Now, I've never seen MTV.

::sheltered life::

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 00:03

I only watched it by accident, in a sort of fascinated horror.

I have to go, it's suddenly terribly late and I have an early start.

Sweet Milton dreams, Maudie, and my best to your sparkly reticule.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 28/04/2011 00:16

That was exactly how I first came to see SMA.

Good night!

PassTheTwiglets · 28/04/2011 08:56

ROFL, look at the wench in the background of Lady V's "or even this" picture - she is so checking out the Gisborne Arse :o

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 11:00

Twiggy, ROFL indeed. that is why I'd hate to be caught in a photograph with him, my thoughts writ clear on my face for all the world to see and point the finger at.

I wonder why I hadn't noticed her before, too busy checking out Gisborne myself, perhaps. His arse imight be the wrong side on, here, but he has other attributes.Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 28/04/2011 11:05

What tickles me is the way she knows she's supposed to be looking straight ahead but you can see in which direction her eyes are really looking.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 11:17

I can't blame her though. What's a girl to do in the face of extreme leather-clad temptation? At least she's managed to keep her tongue from hanging out like mine would have been

That is a brilliant find, Spiro. So very apt. We should have it inscribed on a panel for the common room wall, in marble perhaps, with gilded letters.
Small could design it, with her special calligraphical skills and all.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/04/2011 21:33

It's mighty quiet here today - are we all preparing for street parties?

TheSmallPrint · 28/04/2011 22:01

Hello!! Sorry, bit of a manic day today. Love that pic Spiro looks like he has something naughty planned by the look on his face.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 22:04

Oooh, lovely, Spiro, I am swooning here too. Where is that from?

Is everyone posed to celbrate tomorrow?

DumSpiroSpero · 28/04/2011 22:11

There was a link on Twitter and I flicked through a few more and came across that one!

I am having a joint party with a mate from 1pm - v. informal - We're doing a bbq and guests are bringing side dishes & booze. Tbh my feelings tend toward the republican, but it's a good excuse for a party and I shall enjoy having a nosey at the frocks.

MIL, on the other hand, had been camped outside Westminster Abbey since Tuesday night Confused!

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 22:23

At least you know where she is Spiro! I would have been a republican, I think, if I didin't like presidents even less. And they are not such a tourist attraction, either.

Unleess of course you are going to have this guy for president

SupermassiveLBD · 28/04/2011 23:02

Well folks, I shall put some rather unusual on for anyone who pops in, and go and settle down for an early knight night.
