The Heinz Kruger Palace of (57) Varieties

[SupermassiveLBD]

Strangers are friends you just haven't met, yet. Even when they are baddies and drive science-fiction-y submarines, wearing a smart grey lounge suit.

Oooooooh, Panelmember that was DIVINE!!!

::Leslie Philips voice::

Ding, dong!

We have had the opening shots of this one on Maud's Mega telly ce soir. .

And inevitably,

Oh, how I cRAve such an embRAce.

::fRAntically fans self::

Look mum, no cRAvat!

Evening, Maud! Isn't his smile just sooooo beautiful in that last one? In such stark contrast to his sternness (sternosity? sternitude? sternmongousness?) to the rest of the programme. Am embarrassed to admit that I still haven't read N&S, despite having got the book for Xmas. It will be a while too, 'cos I want to read my Heyers first... I am 2/3 through The Convenient Marriage atm and luuuurrrving it.

RAvishing, ne'st-ce pas?

NB: Not the one on the left, obviously...

Beautiful, Twiggy? I really hadn't noticed.

::cough, splutter::

The absence of the cRAvat reveals the contours of the thRAot

::tempoRAry abandonment of all moRAl principles the spell-checker::

Massive, I've changed my mind, I think you should buy for your birthday. I shall not rest until every woman on the planet has seen this programme. Anybody who hasn't seen it yet, it is a mere 72 pence on amazon used!

Heh heh, the ad is pretty good, Twigs but DT isn't exactly my first choice to be delivered to my lair for a birthday treat.

Spiro, I meant to say earlier that I keep looking at that 'DIY highlights' hair dye and wondering about getting it! So I'm pleased to see that you (and lots of people on the review you linked to) like it. Is it just you & DD going to the NHM next week? Have you been before? We went a year or so ago and the dinosaurs were scary for DD. I loved it though and keep meaning to go back to see all the spacey stuff.

Roger that Massive, but you would love it anyway - it's just a real giggle.

Oooooh Massive, do you get storecard points on that one?

I would make a joke about RewAurd points but doubt that expats would get that.

RewArd, even....

I visit the UK often enough to know about RewArd points, Twigs, they keep asking me to sign up every time I make a puRchAse and it's a pain to have to keep RepeAting that I have RelocAted abRoAd and it's not ReAlistic for me to collect them.

Right, c'est finis pour ce soir. Must go to bed before I eat.

Night, ladiez!

:) Massive

Sweet dReAms

Would you all like to hear about the time I saw the lovely Mr Spacey on stage at the Old Vic?

Thought not.

::Dons protective suit and runs away::

Goodnight twiggy!

Nighty night Twigs, how noble of you to diet, too!

]

What did you se him in, Maud? I saw him there too but it completely escapes me what it was!

You can tell me all about the lovely Mr Spacey on stage at the Old Vic, Maud. Was he all by himself, or could there have been anyone else with him that we might possibly have heard of?

Oh heck, I've just ReAlised what Maud is referring to :) Well that sentence-ending-with-a-preposition is for YOU, young lady!

ReAlly going now...

Well, I suppose you could say the Old Vic had been turned into a Palace of Varieties for the evening, Massive. Quite a number of ack-tors off the telly did a turn and quite a number of ladies in the audience had a bit of a turn.
