thanks Twigs, for all the above, nice potato face there - what production is that from?

Is it wrong of me to hate Heather for getting such a great photo? Grin

TheSmallPrint · 21/07/2011 18:38

Oh OK we're being serious (missed those posts for some reason Confused), yes I think you're all right, particularly Mauds point about downtime, I suspect he thought it was OK to walk there thinking no-one knew him so no-one would approach him?

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 21/07/2011 18:53

All the while he was on the carpet, ok, fair game & people want to make themselves look a bit deranged to get a few pics, good luck to them. But after he stepped off the carpet he was a private individual going about his business.

At least he didn't have paparazzi to contend with too. And I have to say from a loosely 'professional' POV, it must be a nightmare for the legitimate press covering the event to have to deal with that when they're there to do a job,especially TV and radio interviewers.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 18:57

The most extraordinary thing is that she blanks out her friend's face in the photo, so it's OK to push yourself into someone's private time and space, but then you want to maintain your own privacy?

::rolls eyes::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 19:45

Anyway, back to the usual drivel.

::hauls out IF for Massive::

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 19:52

Is it the heat or that vid? Oh, I do heart Gizzy.

LadyDamerel · 21/07/2011 19:53

Thanks for asking Spiro, it was fine. They were very curious about all of it but didn't seemed fazed - they stroked his hands and face and asked masses of questions which made it easier for me to deal with too. Not sure the funeral will be quite as simple but we'll sort that when we get there. I'm doing better this week although it still sneaks up and catches me out every so often, especially when people are nice to me!

Will go and catch up with all the links now.

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 20:03

Thinking of you, btw, LadyD. Stay strong...

TheSmallPrint · 21/07/2011 20:14

Lady D, glad today went well, I know what you mean about people sYing nice things setting you off, it's strange how our emotions work. Smile

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 21/07/2011 20:17

It was Twigs they asked Lady D, but I've been thinking about you too and glad everything went smoothly.

LadyDamerel · 21/07/2011 20:25

Sorry, Twigs. Not very with it!

LordD has just reminded me I'm supposed to be going on a school mums night out at the village pub. How can I remember that a certain Man likes salmon and blooming couscous AND which article it was in but not remember a night out? I despair of my brain sometimes!

Oh, and if the 'fans' RA comes across are like Heathra and DiL I'm not surprised he's so freaked out by the whole 'heart throb' 'fan' aspect of his job. That's just WEIRD behaviour. (Or just American, maybe? Less restraint?)

PassTheTwiglets · 21/07/2011 20:31

Small, he said it was from Treasure Island and it will be on at Xmas. I really have gone right off him though - even some of his tweets were complaining about the state of the loos (they looked fine!) on some production or other. He just seems like one of those "don'y you know who I am?" people. I still would though

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 20:36

Quite, LadyD. I'd be selecting from the following pick and mix

Hire a bodyguard

Hire a slick lawyer [poetic licence] to obtain a restraining order

Disown them

Guard your personal space

Get away from there ASAP

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 20:38

Aha. The square brackets mucked that one up.

Hire a slick lawyer (poetic licence) to obtain a restraining order

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 20:39

I alway think of him when I hear that Lady Gaga song, Poker Face . Only I hear it as Potato Face , now Grin

LadyDamerel · 21/07/2011 20:41

Excellent work there, Maud Grin. Poor chap, I actually feel quite sorry for him now. No wonder the Beard is getting bigger.

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 20:42

Maud, you are the Queen of the Illustated Post.

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 20:43

Or even illustRAted. How did I miss that one????

PassTheTwiglets · 21/07/2011 20:44

LOL, I will now think of that too, Massive :

Oh, oh, I had a song for you! I hear it on Steve Wright yesterday and I loved it. I was bouncing along in my seat, 'cos of the tune but then the words hit me and I realised it would be PERFECT for a vid of The Man! Maybe it's really popular and everybody knows it but I've never heard of the singer before. and here are the lyrics. I am mentally choosing scenes as I hear it; there are so many that would fit perfectly!

LadyDamerel · 21/07/2011 20:44

Eww, Twigs - Rupert Penry Jones? You wouldn't really, would you?

LOL @ Massive's Lady Gaga's 'Potato Face'.

SupermassiveLBD · 21/07/2011 20:44

PS. the 'him' in my post earlier refers to Mr PF not the Man, of course.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 20:45

I was halfway through writing it, LadyDamerel, when it occurred to me that I could also illustrate it. Any excuse to raid the archive.

We've just seen the TV ad for CA. A nanosecond glimpse of Heinz Beanz in his submarine.

LadyDamerel · 21/07/2011 20:47

Although am totally with you re. Steve Wright. Odious man. He makes my skin crawl.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 20:49

I hadn't seen Massive's post calling me the Queen of the IllustRAted Post ::humbly bows:: but it is true I do think things are better with pictures.

That song is brilliant, Twigs. I think I may have heard it before, but can't think where.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/07/2011 20:50

Does Steve Wright still have Damien the Radio 1 2 social worker? I used to love Damien.
