I've been rumbled!

On the way back from the Chinese, Mr S began quizzing me about why We're going to see CA on 4th as "it's really not your sort of film." He went to see Harry Potter yesterday & they showed the trailer. I don't suppose he recognised RA as such, but I was forced to come clean.Blush

He seems to be taking it fairly well at the moment Grin.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/07/2011 20:13

Oh dear. Spiro. But tbh I'm surprised he'd not worked it out beforehand for himself. Blush

I have found out we don't get it till September, but the schools will still be on holiday so no chance of snealkng in on my own and pretending I have walked into the wrong film, oh dearie me, but won't get up and disturb the punters, it's such bad manners

TheSmallPrint · 22/07/2011 20:42

Oh no Spiro! How embarassing Grin. At least he hasn't got all funny about it. Massive can you borrow a child to take??

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 22/07/2011 20:59

Surely your boys would like it Massive?

PassTheTwiglets · 22/07/2011 21:04

LOL but oops, Spiro :) Glad to hear he is taking it well. What did you say - were you actually direct about it? ie. "The Man is in it". Bccmee saw it today - I asked her how much screen time he had and she said "sadly very little indeed". We knew it wasn't going to be much anyway, but still a shame to hear it's probably even less than we thought. Massive, wouldn't the Superboys like to see it? Sounds like exactly a young boys sort of film to me! (though am not sure what the cert. rating is) Or maybe the point is that you want to see it alone!

Small, I love the Hobbit press conference beard, just not this one. But the photo you posted is wonderful.

LadyD, thank you SO much for your FB msg about the cakes - DrTwigs has just got home so won't have time to do FB tonight but thankyou so much for your advice. It's much appreciated.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/07/2011 21:04

I have thrown out tentative lures believe me, but atm they think it's ''Stoopid''. Maybe one of their little cronies will decide it's cool and then they might change their minds. but it's not looking good.

PassTheTwiglets · 22/07/2011 21:07

Oh, one more thing. I left my shoes and jacket out earlier and MissTwigs got them and put them on. She then pranced around saying "look at me, I'm Mummy and I'm just off for a date with Lucas North" :o

(Disclaimer - I have never watched Spooks when she's been in the room! She used to see his name on the screen via Twitter, in the days when I used to Twirt... which is probably worse, come to think of it!)

cornishpasty · 22/07/2011 21:09

I've not been over keen on the beard apart from that photo Small. In fact I have it for my lock screen picture on my iPod, so whenever I switch it on he's there!

PassTheTwiglets · 22/07/2011 21:14

Hi cornish! I had my fave pic as my mobile phone wallpaper but then I felt guilty and changed it to one of me and DH, as he kept seeing the other one :)

SupermassiveLBD · 22/07/2011 21:17

I don't think I would dare put my fave pic on anything Grin

cornishpasty · 22/07/2011 21:20

Ooh yes I like that one too.
My dp constantly says that I should have a photo of him there instead, but I just said that I see him every day so I don't need a photo. He takes it very well and let's me have my fantasy life with RA!

cornishpasty · 22/07/2011 21:23

Do tell us which one that is then massive!

cornishpasty · 22/07/2011 21:27

Driving ds home from school yesterday he said they'd watched a film in English. He then said 'it was something with Richard Armitage in it'
Lucky bugger only got to see him in Macbeth. That's one of the few things I haven't seen yet.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/07/2011 21:29

You shouldn't encourage, me cornish! GrinThis one

SupermassiveLBD · 22/07/2011 21:32

Definitely a Man for all Seasons, then, cornish, Not only thud-tastic, he's educational.

TheSmallPrint · 22/07/2011 21:40

Glad to see I'm not alone in loving that photo, it's making me think like

CA advert on tv, 1 second of the back of Heinz K's head. Im starting to worry we are seeing all the best clips in the ads!

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 22/07/2011 21:52

Small I was only thinking of that song the other day and how apt it would be for the Academy!

Cornish the Man is not in Macbeth very much - he plays 'MacDuff' so has a pretty tragic and tortured time of it. It's extremely well done though overall.

Yes, Twigs, after a brief attempt at fudging I just said "...ok, RA is in it and as we all like him & are meeting up anyway we thought we'd go and see it together."
He didn't bat an eyelid so perhaps he had already joined the dots! FWIW, Massive, 'stoopid' was pretty much Mr Spiro's verdict based on the trailer.

TheSmallPrint · 22/07/2011 21:55

It's creeping up isn't it. I'm a bit nervous now Confused

About meeting up, Small?

I'm ridiculously excited! Grin

TheSmallPrint · 22/07/2011 22:05

Yes Spiro

OP posts:
DumSpiroSpero · 22/07/2011 22:07

What are you nervous about? I don't think any of us are going to be that scary!

TheSmallPrint · 22/07/2011 22:17
