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

Have a good day everyone!

Perhaps this would revive you, Massive?

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 19:43

Maudie. Er, nope....

DumSpiroSpero · 17/04/2011 19:44

I think Lord Rule has a very sexy voice, but I am slightly biased as I share my name with one of the characters in TCM, so I get to hear RA say it lots & lots Grin!

Lucky you, Spiro, I think the only chance I've got of that is to change my name to that of one of the characters. Now who would I pick, I wonder?

DumSpiroSpero · 17/04/2011 19:56

Tis rather nice, especially as it tends to be said in a rather 'fruity' tone! Was a bit Shock the first time it happened though.

Spiro bad news about the tummy, I suspect it's a 24 hour thing as it seems to be doing the rounds, hope it doesn't affect Bognor though. I take it you'll be in touch while there.

Maybe your Easter name could be BunSpiroSpero? Grin

PassTheChocolateTwiglets · 17/04/2011 20:30

Ooooh yes, Spiro, that is a good use of your name Envy :) Quite unlike the way he uses mine in... um... whatever it is... you know, the one with the under the table scene therapist wifey. That's not such a good one, is it?! [jealous of own daughter emoticon]

Oh, did we mentioned before that there is a Mr Gisborne in one of the audiobooks?! I forget which one as I've listed to a few snippets recently. It did make me smile though.

PassTheChocolateTwiglets · 17/04/2011 20:31

Between The Sheets, that's what I meant! The old brain is going, dontcha know...

DumSpiroSpero · 17/04/2011 20:56

Hi Small - should be still on comms while away. Will probably need it to preserve my sanity. I did think of BunSS - might change it tomorrow when I'm hopefully feeling better. Have got a headache now so am in bed.

DumSpiroSpero · 17/04/2011 21:04

Thanks Massive - don't dare take any in RL in case it aggravates tum. Tbh its probably not that bad but I don't suffer from headaches a great deal so I'm a bit of a wuss when I do get one!

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 21:14

That's awful, Spiro. I wish virtual painkillers worked as well as RL ones, but without the side-effects.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 21:47

This is no good, Spiro. You can't let illness spoil your holiday. You need to see a doctor. This doctor.

PassTheChocolateTwiglets · 17/04/2011 21:51

No, he will make it worse, Maud - Twiglets are not good for poorly stomachs.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 21:58

Hmm. He is tres tres twiglet in that photo, it's true.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 22:03

Ah, but surely the very sight of him does the heart good.

Not sure about the tum, though, i'll grant you

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 22:07

I'm sure Spiro could lie on a gurney looking wan and listless while he feels her pulse.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 22:11

That sounds most appealing, Maud, I think i'll try that myself

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 22:27

I prefer the swoon and wait to be scooped up in manly arms and carried to the chaise longue approach, myself.

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 22:39

That sounds great too, Maud

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 22:47

Oh, yes, it is.

::wibble::

TheEasterBunnysSmallFootPrint · 17/04/2011 22:55

Spiro headache may be dehydration if you an upset tum? Try and drink a bit more water.

Sorry I disappeared we starts watching a film and I got distracted.

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 23:02

Wot? You'd rather spend quality time with your family than witter aimlessly on here? The very idea!

SupermassiveEasterBonnet · 17/04/2011 23:09

That certainly lables yours truly once and for all as a saddo, then, Maud...

I do wish Gizzy was better at this whole damsels in distress malarkey, btw, he has no patience with delicate invalids on cheese longoos

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 23:13

I was speaking only for myself, Massive.

Is a cheese longoo a snack comparable to a twiglet? But then, nothing compares to a twiglet.
