That Guy video is delicious, though unfortunately I had to watch it with the sound off, to avoid blowing my cover. Will have to indulge again later...

My kids (aged 4 and 7) can also be the "devil's own spawn" given half a chance. My daughter objected to the way my son was eating some melon today, and ended up screaming the place down....don't know what to do sometimes...sigh

Clearly I need some more Guy loveliness to get me through the days....

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 24/07/2011 22:14

Whatever You Want Day? The very thought! I'm planning to follow the boot camp approach here.

Off to bed now. Good night all!

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 22:17

So does that mean you didn't, LadyV?

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 22:21

Night night Maudie. Stay strong!

Lady's D and V, we could always have another look at

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 22:22

Eww excuse the greengrocer's apostrophe

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 22:24

What I want to know is when is Whatever you Want day for mummies Grin

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 24/07/2011 22:28

::Looks back at you::

I will be strong and if it looks as if things are going haywire, I will call for reinforcements.

I peeped at your link and YT was suggesting Bad to the Bone as an encore - has LadyDamerel yet been introduced to that pure filth important academic resource?

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 22:34

I don't know but you certainly can't have too much raunchy Guy goodness important academic material to study

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 24/07/2011 22:58

I thought it was the raunchy Guy badness you were looking for, Massive?

DumSpiroSpero · 24/07/2011 22:58

I am in the delightful position of having to take my car in for a new exhaust in the morning, so will wander into town for coffee, cake & book & leave Mr S to deal with first morning of hols Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 23:00

Oh dear , Spiro, bummer about your car Grin

LadyVenetia · 24/07/2011 23:01

Hi, if anyone would like to sponsor me in my triathlon swim, then I can send you the link....or you can just take a look at the page - no obligations!!!

LadyVenetia · 24/07/2011 23:03

Sorry massive, don't quite understand your question above - "does that mean I didn't" what? Didn't watch the video? I did, but had to turn the sound off...

DumSpiroSpero · 24/07/2011 23:04

Have just seen it on FB, LadyV. Will check it out properly tomorrow.

Yes, Massive it really is a pain...Grin!

LadyVenetia · 24/07/2011 23:05

Thanks Spiro, btw if anyone else would like to connect with (the real) me on FB, I'll send you a link for that too!

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 23:10

Sorry LadyV, my comment got disassociated from your post, as other posts came in. What I meant was, your DCs enjoyed the movie, but didn't you?

LadyDamerel · 24/07/2011 23:14

Cringing aside, I have to admit to feeling somewhat wibbly about that ''Look back at me'' encounter. Mr Thornton with a beard, indeed.

please will someone explain that for me? Is it a ref to maud's vid in the previous post? I had to watch it with no sound so may have missed something vital.

On lordd's iPad, hence shocking lack of punctuation.

LadyDamerel · 24/07/2011 23:19

I have spiro and twigs on fb, am happy to add anyone else who wants me to but if you'd rather wait until after the 4th to verify I am not a hairy handed trucker that's fine too.

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 23:20

Lady D, Twigs (or Small) linked to an account of another fan's encounter with the Man, in LA. Said fan's DH suggested she shouted ''Look back at me''; to attract his attention, and it was the Man who said he was Mr Thornton with a beard.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 24/07/2011 23:25

::pauses half way up the stairs::

Please. I beg you. Stop repeating the phrase Mr Thornton with a beard. Me old ticker can't take it.

::cardiac arrest::

LadyDamerel · 24/07/2011 23:25

::wails::

I can't find the link. Am I being spectacularly stupid? PLEASE will someone re-link so I can read it before I go to bed?

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 23:36

I can't find it either LadyD Sorry, the heat has got to me. it is somewhere between Saturday afternoon and now, if you have the energy to er, look back at it,

LadyDamerel · 24/07/2011 23:40

Grin Will have a quick scan.

SupermassiveLBD · 24/07/2011 23:55

Must say goodnight, now, I am drooping. And Maud, it wasn't me that invented the phrase ''Mr Thornton with a beard'' you know.

DumSpiroSpero · 25/07/2011 07:47

C & P of the close encounter of the beardy kind for LadyD!

Mind you i?m not bragging, its just that nobody else knows who he is therefore they don?t understand how amazing this was. So here?s how it went down:

As soon as he came out of the car my heart started racing. As soon as he was close to hear me I screamed ?RICHARD? yes like a little girl?I couldn?t help it! He turned and waved directly at me! (i know this because nobody else knew who he was) He then kept walking.

My husband said ?you?ve gotta yell look back at me? so I did (yes i know so damn silly) but ?Look back at me Richard!? flew out of my mouth before i could stop it. He laughed looked back and waved again.

pic 2

He then continued to the carpet. That was when he took a right had turn. The security tried to stop him but he pointed in my direction and said something.

pic 3

They then opened the barrier and he walked though a crowd and straight up to me, took off his sunglasses and said,

pic 4

?hello! its nice to meet you.? swoon he then pulled me in for a hug and kissed my cheek (crisp clean and all around manly is how he smelled!) i asked for a picture and he said ?of course?

pic 5

as i pulled him to me i said ?its my Mr. Thornton!? laughing he replied ?but with a beard? to which i replied ?you look so good! i saw the pictures of you as Thorin and it looks good, im so excited for the movie!? He said thanks as he posed with the girl next to me (she didnt know him, just new he was famous in some way) As he walked away i said ?i love your work, thank you oh and im super bummed about Spooks!? he said ?thank you, take care!?

pic6

and there you have it! I had a mini conversation with the man of my dreams, it truly was amazing. He was so sweet and kind, he really is the amazing man we read about in all those interviews!
