While everyone else is getting their thinking caps on

, a mere 24 years ago. (Coincidentally, I got the habit of describing an ill-favoured chap not conventionally handsome as looking like a potato from a friend who had an almighty crush on Mr Branagh, even though she said he had a face like a King Edward).

I think roos [to rhyme with puss] in oor-bay is a bit closer, but as Suetonius isn't around to ask, I doubt it matters very much.

I just googled but cant find any film Twigs?

DumSpiroSpero · 12/06/2011 21:58

CFBC's - another one for the Academy Lexicon!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 21:58

How intriguing to see The Drover in a cravat. 'Tis all well and good, but although there may be several pretenders to the cravat throne, there is only one prince of cravats.

DumSpiroSpero · 12/06/2011 22:07

Well of course, Maud, but perhaps Mr J could be the Arch Duke of cravats!

Am just trying to think who I would have had a celebrity crush on 24 years ago - yep, that's the one!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 22:10

Oh, really Spiro! I've never had a crush on the Firthmeister, but simply recognised him as being a good ack-tor and a Good Egg.

::Ponders who her crush would have been in 1987::

SupermassiveLBD · 12/06/2011 22:11

Oh, Maudie, that is a corker. And we all know who the prince of black leather is.

yes indeed, Massive

PasstheTwiglets · 12/06/2011 22:19

Goodness Maud, now there's a blast from the past! I had forgotten all about A Month In The country (maybe the facial hair made me blank it!) but I have that on VHS somewhere...

DumSpiroSpero · 12/06/2011 22:25

Interesting Twigs - Transformers meets Fight Club Confused

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 22:29

I think I must have been between crushes in 1987, .

SupermassiveLBD · 12/06/2011 22:29

Great comment on that film, Spiro! Exactly!

I see I have offended Gizzy, Maud . Do you think he's going to punish me now?

PasstheTwiglets · 12/06/2011 22:31

I think I am the only woman in history to not like Dirty Dancing. But then I hated The Shawshank Redemption, so what do I know...

I have never been between crushes :) I started at a very young age

::Hauls out the industrial-sized vat of Peppermint Foot Balm for Massive and her international, intergalactic clientele::

SupermassiveLBD · 12/06/2011 22:38

I am not rubbing anybody's feet but Gizzy's, Maud, you'll have to rope Small in for any antipodean antics.

As for non-humans, a lot of them have more than two, so that would be extra, anyway.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 22:39

Jonathan Cohen? But then, I did have a bot of a pash for Captain Scarlet.

::whispers:: I've never actually seen Dirty Dancing, but that's one of my favourite singing loudly in the car songs and (of course) I found that clip in my usual research archive.

I've just seen an ad for a new album by Paul Simon. .

DumSpiroSpero · 12/06/2011 22:39

I remember fancying Robert Stephens in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie when I was indecently young, Twigs!

I love Dirty Dancing, although Sleepless in Seattle was one I never saw the fuss about - much prefer 'You've Got Mail'.

DumSpiroSpero · 12/06/2011 22:47

Right Mr Spiro has come to bed & is nagging me to turn the light off so will 'see' you all tomorrow.

Sweet dreams!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 22:50

Haven't seen S in S or YGM, either.

I can see why one might be drawn to Robert Stephens, Spiro. And his dear boy Toby as Mr Rochester was possibly the most thrillingly cravatted gentleman I had seen until, well, you know.

SupermassiveLBD · 12/06/2011 23:00

Night Spiro. Why don't you buy Mr S an eyemask? Or you can get them free on long plane journeys, if you know someone who has been on one..

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 12/06/2011 23:23

Good night, Spiro. And good night everyone else, as I must retire too being well over pension age.

PasstheTwiglets · 13/06/2011 06:31

Maud, Jonathen Cohen was the piano player in Brian Cant's 'Playaway' :o

How about something nice to brighten a dull Monday morning? Though it was from a FB link so it may not work. If you can't see it, let me know and I'll try another way 'cos it's well worth it :)

DumSpiroSpero · 13/06/2011 07:49

I love the book of Jane Eyre, and have got the dvd version with TS but have never got round to watching it - I really must get on the case with that.

As for eyemasks - Mr Spiro could borrow mine, but I don't think leopard print with shocking pink trim would suit him somehow! Grin

Well, here we go again...another week...30 working days and counting (probably shouldn't say that as I suspect I am going to find out this morning whether I'll have any at all come September)
