Just had a little 2.5 hour doze and am about to go off to the cinema. It's a hard life.

See - the pair of them have finally driven me mad Confused!

SupermassiveLBD · 06/08/2011 20:54

I know the feeling, Spiro! Confused

Evening! We've just got back from seeing Horrible Bosses - quite good, we enjoyed it. The 3 male 'buddies' were great, if it weren't for them it might've been a bit dull but they were great. And, of course, Jason Bateman has long been on the LoL :) As has Kevin Spacey who was also in it but is looking scarily old now. aren't we all

Hope you are recovered from the afternoon, Spiro. What do you have planned for this evening when everyone is out?

Is it just me or does anybody else have to try really hard not to use people's RL names now?!

PassTheTwiglets · 06/08/2011 21:22

We finally have a picture of Uzi!

PassTheTwiglets · 06/08/2011 21:36

We need to add this charm to the Academy brooches

And this one

Right, dinner is ready so byesy-bye for now.

DumSpiroSpero · 06/08/2011 21:49

I love the peach charm - and yes, I am struggling a bit with names, especially yesterday morning when I was flitting between here, FB and Twitter!

My plans for this evening? Salmon & cous cous for dinner Grin, wine, Robin Hood (S1.4 at the mo - village fair....THUD!), Mumsnet and fanfic.

Can you tell I'm in my happy place now? Smile

DumSpiroSpero · 06/08/2011 22:04

Thread for you Twigs Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 06/08/2011 22:28

Grin at Twig's links.

And shy Guy in RH 1.4. Lovely!

PassTheTwiglets · 06/08/2011 22:32

Ooooh, yummy salmon & couscous :o

Let us know if you find any good fanfic.

DumSpiroSpero · 06/08/2011 22:44

I'm only catching up on Highwayman (and possibly a bit of fedora lady's back catalogue Wink).

Am loving Gizzy now - he seems to get going a bit more in eps 4 and 5. Also found a really weird coincidence. Do you recall a while back I was going to write a fairly lengthy Strikeback fanfic? The main female character in it is called Safiya, which is Jaq's real name! Shock

PassTheTwiglets · 06/08/2011 22:53

How funny about the name - what a spooky coincidence.

I must 'do' Gizzy again. Got as far as halfway through S2 before I stopped.

Re. back catalogue - Charmer's Chamber? :)

DumSpiroSpero · 06/08/2011 23:05

Maybe CC or I might investigate some of her more outrageous works!

The really weird thing about the name is that I actually spent an hour or more researching Arabic girls names on the internet and had a 'short' list of about a dozen before narrowing it down to that one Confused.

Sounds like you've enjoyed your day - when do you get the kids back?

PassTheTwiglets · 06/08/2011 23:12

Kids coming back tomorrow, hopefully in the afternoon and not the morning! A bit irritating that parents said they'd bring them back but I forgot to leave their carseats, so we have to go and get them (2 hour round trip). I'm hoping DrTwigs will go to get them and I can watch Moving On.

A bit of fanfic for me too and then bed. Night all!

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2011 10:35

Morning all! Our numbers are a bit depleted at the moment, aren't they?!

I am just about to watch Moving On (thanks again, Spiro, you're a star!) and then I think Small was next on the list so I'll send it her way later. Hoping I can get past the medallion man thing he appears to have going on...

DumSpiroSpero · 07/08/2011 10:56

I think when he appears on screen in a rather snugly fitting shirt you probably won't be thinking about medallions Grin.

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2011 11:14

Shock I can't believe what he just said!!! Do you remember his response when Ellie asks him about the person who called on his mobile? ROFL and at the sme time :o

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2011 11:16

He does look like a door-to-door salesman... Twiglets are still there though :) And my GOD that music is annoying.

DumSpiroSpero · 07/08/2011 11:21

The music is what out me off watching any more of them (or even re-watching that episode) - it is horrendous!

DumSpiroSpero · 07/08/2011 11:21

No - I don't remember that bit - what does he say???

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2011 11:24

Will PM you :)

PassTheTwiglets · 07/08/2011 11:40

Well I've just finished Moving On, so that's another one crossed off the list! Thanks so much, again. S. Might do a bit of Gizzy now.

DumSpiroSpero · 07/08/2011 11:47

ROFL @ 'Might do a bit of Gizzy....' Grin
