Margaret Hale Academy of Tea-Pouring & Wallpaper Selection at the University of Milton Northern

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 18/06/2011 21:11

Welcome to our new common room which, as you would expect, is decorated in impeccable taste (despite the limited choice of wallpapers available in Milton Northern). Above the marble mantelpiece hangs a portrait of the Vice-Chancellor of the University. As we recline elegantly on the chaise longue, we partake of tea and ratafia biscuits and discuss the works of Plato, although in the evening the finest wines and Polish cordials may be served.

I am trying to join in with the game but keep being distracted by completely irrelevant pictures like this and this.

Spiro, that took me to a selection of pictures but it does tell us exactly what phrase you used to search :o

Oh, LadyD, your first "this" picture had me going for ages. Not sure how long you have been with us but we used that pic a lot several threads ago (or it may have been the one 2 photos to the right).

Dr Zhivago

SupermassiveLBD · 03/07/2011 22:28

Nice pics all the same. Lady D.You could call your first one Never on a Sundae

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 22:29

more fruit...!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/07/2011 22:29

So now we know what Spiro is willing to put into a search engine.

Ooh, great minds there Twigs Grin.

I don't actually know whether DH knows it's RA narrating the GH CDs. I have a bookshelf full of Heyers so the CDs aren't quite as out of character as say, the purchase of RH or Spooks would be.

LOL at dinner being narrated by RA!

Come on, it was probably her phone's fault, with that auto-complete thingy, whatever it's called

Hey, it did the trick, Maud - she's nothing if not efficient! :)

LadyDamerel · 03/07/2011 22:34

That whole sequence of pics is most knee trembling if you flick through them quickly, I think the one 2 to the right was the original one I meant to post but I came over all peculiar after perusing them all.

Spiro, having that phrase in my google history would almost certainly out me to DH Grin.

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 22:35

Yes, of course it was Massive Wink. I was just trying to find that pic ASAP and not having much luck.

Speaking of which, I also found the RPJ [[Come on, it was probably her phone's fault, with that auto-complete thingy, whatever it's called
brain bleach photo]]

you have been warned

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/07/2011 22:35

Yes, we have had a demonstration of that efficiency.

PasstheTwiglets · 03/07/2011 22:36

Doh, link doesn't work Spiro - and i got all excited as well!

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 22:38

RPJ take 2

God only knows what it's from!

LadyDamerel · 03/07/2011 22:40

::collapses::

Thank heavens it's tiny. Just what exactly did you google to find that?

LadyDamerel · 03/07/2011 22:41

The picture, the picture is tiny.
