Mmm, certain amount of Gizzy-ness here.

Never had the gizzard connection, Twigs - until now!

A vote here for numbers two and three, Twigs. Tres Gisbornien.

This one just makes me think of David Tennant.

::Looks back at you again::

That's Flat Stanley, LadyD. I was urging Twiggy only recently to buy Flat Stanley for MasterTwigs so that he could Watch With Mother While She Swoons Over The Telly.

Yes, I think we should call him Guy. Perhaps we ought to pronounce it Gee in the French stylee?

Really off to bed now as Mr Thornton is looking particularly fetching in the floppy white nightshirt.

WHAT?!?! The Man reads Flat Stanley?! Hahaha, that completely passed me by - Maud, I thought you were just naming a random book that Girl enjoyed at that age, I had no idea it was a bedtime story! I should have realised :) I haven't actually seen any of the stories as the video is so awful but I do know the screencaps almost off by heart :)

You know, that night when we were putting captions to the Bedtime Story screencaps was one of the most fun nights I've had in years [no life emoticon]. I still sometimes look at them now when I'm in need of a giggle!

I'm really off to bed, too. Night night!

There is a small, nay, tiny chance that I have perused the CBeebies Archives on more than one occasion but I couldn't tell you which voice or accent each character has, oh no

Although, why do Flat Stanley and his brother have Liverpudlian accents while their parents are distinctly Brummie?

::Looks blearily back at you::

Nah, Twiggy, that was the point of me musing about the age at which Girl liked Flat Stanley and TwigBoy's age now. In hindsight, it's quite likely that Girl and I watched the thing at the time, as she has been a telly addict since she first learned how to switch the darned thing on.

Where are those screen caps?

::still enjoy laughing at my own jokes (well nobody else does) emoticon::

.

There is only the one vid of it on there and the picture quality is dreadful but I find listening to it as an audiobook is perfectly adequate.

Not the screen caps but the captions, I mean.

::In bed now::

Just for Maud.

::excessively helpful::

::really must go to bed::

Night all.

::grasps completely the wrong end of Maud's joke stick::

::really, truly, definitely going to bed now::

::still in bed::

Yes, I know where to find that invaluable database of audio-visual reference materials - I was wondering where Twiggy had stashed the sid-splittingly funny captions we added to them.

::haven't been out much recently emoticon::

CBeebies captions! Not sure if the links still workas I ahven't looked for a while...

Yep, they still work - I see we linked to this one quite a lot :o

My post from way back got eaten! Or did MN deem it unworthy of incusion?

I don't wanna call him Guy, I don't wanna! That's what the Stupid Girl calls him. Mind you, Gizzy is what the Sheriff calls him.

Was just about to get on things when I saw this on Twitter, which just had to be shared.

THUD!

Sorry, get on with things obviously that pic did strange things to my brain

Her album has a certain recognisable theme does it not?

Nice start to my day. Thanks Spiro.

(N.B. I have been up a bit, honest, guv. I just don't count all the grot I've been dealing with earlier as part of my day)

I've been up since 6.30am. Haven't quite managed to do anything constructive or get dressed yet ...well, it is the last day of hols.

In return, a little something I picked up on my interweb travels

Last day, Spiro? Hope you have a good one! We go back next Wednesday. I'm half looking forward to it and half dreading it - I'm just getting into the swing of it, now that it's almost over :)

Snap!

Well, I'm in the process of getting dressed very slowly. MNing and FBing and odd forays into the Bibliotheque are decidedly hindering progress .

Off to a Maize Maze later. If I haven't reappeared by about 9pm will one of you call Search and Rescue or contact the farmer.

Last day for me & Mr S. DD is back next Tuesday.

You'd think 6 weeks off would get boring but tbh I'm dreading having to get back into a routine and start fitting in all the chores around everything else again.

I cannot understand people who say they'd carry on working if they won the lottery. If my numbers came up I wouldn't even do my own housework!

Did you look at the rest of the gallery on that site, Massive?

This one's great.
