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

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

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.

Well Twigs, yours was the most interesting kitchen table decoration. But maybe you deserve it after your day. Mine has a lone kitchen roll on it atm.

JP on fast forward eh? Now that is being greedy.

I had a busy RL day in whoich I fulfilled half of the SAS motto, i.e. nothing gained. --- except perhaps a couple of pounds as I had pizza for lunch.

Small do you mean that other RA exhibtion wot Maud went to, a bit back? It does look good, I must say.

So the photoshoot will be published in Angust --thanks for the news, Spiro. How exciting! I wonder if the publishers of said bijou niche mag will be surprised at the huge leap in circulation, from their immediate family and their Aunt Gertrude, to hundreds.

You can't watch JP on fast forward Twigs!

He needs to be savoured over several hours

Evening all.

Glad you appreciated Mr Cheeky, Spiro, but Twiggy is indeed very, very naughty.

Ooh, what a suprise, Maud. I thought we were going to see Mr Thornton and his inimitable facepalm, and instead it's equally naughty Mr Bateman. Not that I would complain either way.

Now RH you practically need to watch on fast forward, to eliminate all the PLFwittery.

You see, Massive, you should always expect the unexpected, and as Twiggy was talking about sauciness in the kitchen (and clearly wasn't referring to Heinz tomato ketchup) ....

...maybe Heinz Kruger? We'll see!

Very à propos, I agree.

I think I may have found some new research material which . The picture quality is a bit ropey, but I dimly recall that a Lucas vid to this same choon was well-received.

Ah, I didn't realise Harry had a middle name.

Lovely vid, like the song as well as the pics!

It's very sweet, isn't it? We knew a little Jasper at mother and toddler group.

::completely irrelevant fact emoticon::

Ooooooh! I'll 'ave sum o' that

Very tasteful Maud, dear.

Can anyone explain the story arc of that song to me?

Story arc? I thought we just goggling at his broadsword appreciating the fine cinematography and use of diffuse lighting to portray the essential but contradictory darkness and light of Guy's personality?

What song is it? Can't get the last one on mobile.

Liked 'Sunshine' though - my mum & Jan used to sing that to me and now me & my mum sing it to DD .

Can't believe you didn't know Harry's middle name though - detention for you Massive!

Mum & nan rather!

Sorry teacher, I suppose I spent too much time on my medieval history homework and neglected the RI

Re the Guy vid, I was just wondering how the song fit in with the visuals, Maud. I have no quarrels with the latter, much broadsword-goggling was done, I can assure you. And I luuurved the bit where he tosses his raven mane out of his eyes, so very disdainfully. Très thud-tastic.

Alejandro/Don't Call My Name by the extremely rude forthright Lady Gaga.

Sorry Spiro, forgot to say, the song was Lady Gaga, Alejandro

Oh sorry, Massive. I took you too literally. I thought we were discussing the song, which I don't understand at all. Is there anything to understand? ::Old fogey alert:: As far as I can see through my slightly dusty bifocals, there is nary a connection between the song and the visuals, hence one just has to goggle at his broadsword admire the atmosphere.

Will have to have a look on pc tomorrow.

Bedtime for me now though - sweet dreams!

::Emerges again from the basement::

Are you sitting comfortably, Massive? Then .

::exhausted by all the stair-climbing and hauling research materials out of the basement, staggers off to bed::

Maud, I do apologise for my lack of response, caused by simultaneous pince-nez and computer functions.

Nighty night. And you know what sort...

I say, that vid is even more ooh la la than I remember

And just before I am due to retire, too.

But who's complaining.
