Our patroness is considered rather taking when she is animated

and the Vice Chancellor would like to remind you all of the importance of the wearing of a correctly tied cravat.

Oh well found, Spiro! Will be interesting to have a read through, later. I was on another thread about him and somebody said "you need to come over here" and that's when I found you all :) Wow, has it really been almost a year?!

Hadn't tried White Company, no - tbh I thought they only did white stuff and I don't let DD anywher near white things :) Will have a look at their site though, thanks!

Massive, so glad you are feeling a bit better now!

And in the same vein...

Lusting after Lucas (and Lee), jonesing for JP, raving about Richard, hungry for Harry, thirsting for Thornton (and Thorin), salivating over Standring (ok, that might be going a bit too far even in my book!)...

Swooning over Standring maybe, it has a gentler vibe, in keeping with his sweet nature

I am so bad I just watched another of the Gizzy-less S3 eps that cropped up on TV as I sat down to peel a pile of veg. Safer without him, I suppose, when I had a sharp knife in my hand

Moaning for Monet...? (or maybe that should be Sighing for Squirrel-Face)

Nah, I like moaning for Monet , and swooning over Standring is much better .

I must crack on with RH and BtS but can't remember the last time Mr S went out for the evening.

Oh, don't I know that besieged feeling, Spiro! Can't you think of something to lure him out? A text to meet some mates in an obscure and very very distant rural pub, maybe?

Palpitating for Percy? Hot for Heinz? Melting for Macalwain?

I'd forgotten about poor Macilwain - and as for the other 2, I did have a couple of ideas but....

Evening all. Well I'm shattered and in need of a decent bed.

Not a happy camper, then, Small? I was just remembering Percy and the bouncy castle bedstead

I am already in bed - with laptop, vodka and choccy. About to watch Black Swan.

I'm back too but vvv knackered. Will catch up and post tomorrow......

How was the camping? Was the weather ok?

As for beds - you need one of these.

Hi Lady D - hope you had a good one too!

Oh, hello LadyD, nice to see you and Small safely back in the fold.

Oh I e got quite a good airbed, it was the group of campers who were up shouting and laughing and swearing til three in the morning thatseft me tired. Selfish gits.

We had rain over night on Friday too which doesn't help you get to sleep once the noisy people finally shut up.

Hmm, Small, sounds like they needed someone to sort them out

I tell you Massive, I nearly did some them some damage let alone Porter.

Anyway, home now and it will all be a distant memory soon! The SBs had a good time though.

Now what's this about SB2? I haven't looked at the screen caps but I was expecting JP to die in this one. I also agree on the complete change of production to cheesy american style which is really disappointing, I really enjoyed the first series and RA was an added bonus!

They appear to have turned it into '24' with more sex...nice !

Do tell us if Black Swan is worth a watch, Spiro. I take it it's out on DVD now?

i used to luurve ballet, when i was little.

I'm off to bed ladies, hopefully I'll sleep for England. See you tomorrow

I haven't even started watching yet - have got waylaid reading through the original thread. Have seen you & Maud and am ROFL at some of the remarks from other posters, especially Cupcakes who was hilarious (if extremely rude)

I am saving that for when i can emote to my heart's content. I don't want to have to be be inventing stuff to explain the sniggering.

Oh sorry, Small, didn't see you were going. Hope you have a peaceful night. A shame you couldn't have put your tent to better use

Belated good night Small.

Massive - I have just realised it was you that started all the googling of Latin phrases for possible tattoos which led me to my adopted motto Alis volat Propriis and which I still remember doing in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner one night - probably the first of many burnt offerings as a result of this thread.
