The ER -- The Track Clinic at the University of Milton North

[SupermassiveLBD]

While everyone else is getting their thinking caps on

Just in case that previous, very lovely, vid didn't do the job, I'm sending in the crash team with and !

It's worked so well for me I can't spell - back to work now anyway - enjoy!

I know Small, I was just making a silly joke :)

Ooooh, how interesting though!! I just looked at your link and saw that the word derives from Mary Magdalen! I had no idea the two words were connected, other than their prounciation. So that is obviously why Magdalene college is pronounced the way it is - that's fascinating!

I don't get it Twigs

Just off to a meeting so will open Spiro's treasures when I return.

No, you're not thick - the joke just wasn't funny :) I was doing a sort of reverse thing - people often mispronounce Magdalen as 'mag-da-len' and get corrected 'no, it's mawd-lin'. So I was doing the opposite and pretending that I was correcting your 'maudlin' to 'mag-da-len'. See - I said it wasn't funny... :)

For the non-Twitterers amongst us, this is what the guy from the photoshoot yesterday said:

Richard Armitage fans: sorry just seen all your tweets. The whole shoot was filmed so I will post a link when it's uploaded. Also I will let you know details of when it's published. I will say he's Soooooooo nice in person.

I'm assuming that he means the photos will be online, but it would be lovely to see a film of the photoshoot :)

Oooh, golly Twiggers, how SOOPER! re the photoshoot.

Busy day for me -- hope I will be back later but meanwhile I just wanted to leave you all a little pressie

Nothing new, but always fun.

Well hey there, Mr Courier Man - have you come to show us your package?

:)

Thanks for the explanation Twigs now I get it!! and thanks for the twitter update although hearing how nice he is does me know good. I'm in my 'need to think bad things about him so that I can concentrate on work' mode so something like the RPJ article would have helped more IYKWIM.

I'm not really complaining though, I will immediately be looking at the photoshoot as soon as someone tells me where it is!

And a glove shot too

Know?? No!

Oh I very often think bad things about him... :)

In fact, since my crude joke about the courier man - and since I had a real actual courier man arrive today and am expecting another one tomorrow - I am developing a nice little fantasy which you are all welcome to borrow. Just bring it back in the same condition you would expect to find it.

Why Mr North, this parcel is far too heavy for me to carry, could you bring it into the house for me, please?

Yes, those stairs are tricky, aren't they? But I'm sure you can manage... third door on the left...

Ignore the muffled cries from the cupboard - Sgt. Porter is a little feisty today...

Oh I very often think bad things about him

Not those sort of bad thoughts Twigs.

Sorry, should have put a in there. See, my mind is all over the shop now!

ROFL at Twigs

Small, I know what you mean about thinking negative things (bad things obviously not quite the same

I am up to my elbows in cake mix - school fair on Saturday (yawn). I have also managed to make a steak pie with dessert pastry since getting in - and I wasn't even mumsnetting at the time . Fish & chips for us tonight then.

although it might be quicker to go up the road to the chippy

Seriously, Small - frozen fish & oven chips?!

In case anybody's running short on these

@Twigs's courier fanficlet
@Small's desperate attempts to concentrate on RL, and
@Spiro's sweet steak pie. In the States, apparently, everything tastes very sweet, even the bread, so you would have been all right if you were on the other side of the pond.

Oh and @ the Man, being nice. How very dare he?

Our neighbours are currently having the World's Ugliest Loft Conversion (Official).* To make things even more delightful for us hapless bystanders, the builders have their radio set to Nuclear Warning Volume. . Having seen today's obscene saucy comments, it seems all the more appropriate.

• They should have called in Small as artichoke and design consultant.

Re your neighbours Maud - you should see what my out-laws neighbours are doing to their place - I honestly don't know why they didn't just buy a completely different house.
