The Marcus Rule Correctional Facility for Shameless Gamblers

[DumSpiroSpero]

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

Have a good day everyone!

Hi Twigs, glad the party was good and yes, I'd love to see a pick of your HJ lookalike too!!

BtW if you are still interested I came across a Guy as a vampire fic. However I haven't read it myself.

Guy as a vampire, eh? As if the poor man hadn't got troubles enough!

Twigs, too at your Hugh Fakeman's fashion statement. Really and truly?

Hope all the celebrations went off ok. I am shattered, even though I don't feel as though I actually did much.

I quite liked the dress - it was much as I expected tbh. She looked beautiful but I thought it lacked the wow factor a bit. I want to know what Harry said to Wills as she wad walking down the aisle - it looked v. cheeky !

Talking of Hugh Fakeman, I'm currently watching the Wolverine origin movie - nice body!

I thought the dress was great - much nicer than any others I have seen at Royal Weddings - very 40s retro in look I thought.

I think it was very understated and elegant, just right for a future queen. Her sisters dress was gorgeous and very brave - you really need a fantastic figure to carry that off, especially with 2 billion people judging watching. She did carry it off beautifully. How much do they look a like?!

Anyway what I enjoyed most was just the pomp and ceremony, london looked fantastic and the processions stunning - no one does it quite like the British royal familiy (and no Im not Spiros MIL ).

I was wondering if Spiro actually saw her MIL on screen as the cortege went past.

What did people think of the decor in the Abbey, the trees instead of flowers? I was amazed how light it was inside, I always thought it was very dark and sombre in there.

I walk past Westminster Abbey most days going to work (I work around the corner from there) but have never once thought of going in. One day...

Talking of understatements, Lady V - nice body. I think you mean damn fine figure of a man!!!!

Yes trees are a strange addition to the abbey, quite interesting though. I loved the camera shot from the heavens looking down on the bride and groom at the altar - it looked amazing.

Whilst I'm not a fan of the Royals for their own sake, I totally agree that no-one does the ceremony & tradition like us. I do feel very proud when watching the military aspect of this kind of thing, and I will willing stand & join in with the national anthem on Remembrance day as a mark of respect to those who fought & believed in what they were doing for the sake of the king/queen.

My first instinct was that the trees were a weird idea, but I can see why they went that way & they looked pretty good. I loved her bouquet - was it lily of the valley?

Spiro, have you ever read any of the Shopaholic books? When I saw those trees, it rminded me of Becky Bloomfield's fancy New York wedding, with the Enchanted Forest etc, in the hotel ballroom. Though today was much classier of course

Sorry, it's Bloomwood, isn't it?

It was lily of the valley Spiro, I bet that it smelt fantastic. Again a beautiful understated boquet.

Right, off to the land of nod as we were up at some ungodly hour again. See you all tomorrow!

Night Small!

Yes, Massive - I've read all the Shopaholics, but didn't remember that!

Night night Small.

Spiro, it's the book where both her mum and MIL from hell insist on arranging her wedding -- on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Rings a bell - don't her parents want the village church & a marquee in the back garden?

I think Prince Harry & James & Phillipa Middleton all did well with their bits. The little attendants that left in the coach with Harry looked like they were having a whale of a time!

More wedding action on Gold now !

That's the one Spiro. I love those books, it's the panicky feel of everything sprialling out of Becky's control that makes me laugh ands shiver, cos I could be very much like her if I was less of a scaredly cat given to excess in all fields mentioning no names

Have you read 'Can you keep a secret?' Not a BB one but I really enjoyed it.

I know what you mean about the excessive tendencies!

mmmm!

I think I've read them all but can't bring the plot of that one to mind.
Yeah, I am a defintely a ''more is not quite enough'' kind of girl, I have to finish the whole box of chocs or eat the whole box of doughnuts..

I always like the idea of chocolate more than the reality, jam doughnuts however, I have very low resistance to.

DD has just woken up & come down while I was watching the last few minutes of the last episode of VoD - she didn't twig surprisingly!

Would it matter? VoD is pretty innocuous
