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.

OMG Spiro, you are right, that WAS awful. Pass the Domestos, please... quickly now...

LadyD, ROFL at "the picture was tiny" :)

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 22:50

Words failed me as well Maud (particularly as I'd typed in 'RA naked' Blush).

I promise my forays into 'naked Googling' have only been in order to find the BtS peaches pic ASAP - honest Guv!

I am going to have nightmares now. I will be peacefully roaming the countryside and suddenly be chased by a giant monolith

That's made everyone feel slightly queasy.

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 22:55

Twigs I would hardly call that a giant monolith.

LadyDamerel · 03/07/2011 22:55

I'm going to go to bed now and try to think of Massive's last link rather than Spiro's which, despite only a very quick glimpse, appears to be indelibly imprinted on my mind.

Night!

SupermassiveLBD · 03/07/2011 22:55

To take your mind off it, how about Close Encounters of the Thud Kind ?

PasstheTwiglets · 03/07/2011 22:58

@ Thud Kind - oh brava Massive, brava!

Night, Lady D - I'm off to bed too.

Thanks for the game, Maud - good fun!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/07/2011 23:03

Oh that's more like it. Back to the corny puns and gratuitous swooning.

Far From The Thudding Crowd

Night, Twigs and Lsdy D. I must away myself. I shall bid you farewell with
A Knight to Remember

DumSpiroSpero · 03/07/2011 23:04

Night all - I'm off too, sweet dReAms!

SupermassiveLBD · 03/07/2011 23:09

Back to the corny puns and gratuitous swooning

Well that is rather our raison d'etre...

Bighty night Maud, loved the game.

SupermassiveLBD · 03/07/2011 23:12

That sounded rather vampiric, but 'twas accidental I assure you. You know what I meant.

TheSmallPrint · 03/07/2011 23:19

Oh my lord, you lot have had me crying tonight, particularly LadyD's 'it's tiny' comment Grin

I can't join in as I am on the phone but will try and think and join in tomorrow.

Night all

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/07/2011 23:31

Bitey night to you too, Massive and anyone else who's still conscious after Spiro's shocking contribution.

Morning! What a lovely day, anyone for a bacon buttie?

PasstheTwiglets · 04/07/2011 08:06

:o

Morning, Small! No bacon butties for me. Have been messing around with diet for about a month now and have to Do It Properly now. So just had a teeny little WeightWatchers yoghurt and about to have some fruit. Whoop-dee-doo.

LOL at Bitey night. I think that has to be an Academy Classic. And, jsut for Massive, we could have Bitey Knight

TheSmallPrint · 04/07/2011 09:15

Oh poor you Twigs, those WW yoghurts wouldn't fill up a mouse! Go on, just a small <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/bacon5.jpg&imgrefurl=www.speakeasy.net/~sjmaks/bacon&h=360&w=480&sz=88&tbnid=5oUzzrQWD7Rv6M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbacon%2Bsandwich%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=bacon+sandwich&hl=en&usg=__n5I-BH6Eo74r61ELrGhN3vwI4AI=&sa=X&ei=qHYRTuehDMmq8QPz6oGmDg&sqi=2&ved=0CCUQ9QEwAQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one...

PasstheTwiglets · 04/07/2011 10:10

So do you have any plans for your birthday, Small - will you be wined and dined?

PasstheTwiglets · 04/07/2011 10:12

I know we have seen this before but whilst looking for the 'wined' photo, I found this. With the open neck and the candlelight it's really quite something

TheSmallPrint · 04/07/2011 11:12

Oh God, if only Twigs! I'm still waiting for the special Parcelforce delivery though

SupermassiveLBD · 04/07/2011 11:46

You lot don't let a girl get away with much, do you? Blush

Still, I luurve my bitey knight.

Guess what, the buck has finally stopped here, after days of palming my offspring off on hapless others, and it's playdate time at Massive Towers. So I may not be round too much until later.
