Not entirely tasteful, but it's what we all hoped really isn't it?

Weirdly I'm not sure about that photo either Lady D and normally I love a bit of Lucas.

Oh excellent, more stories for me us to read Twigs? Beginning and end is fine with me Grin. I do wish I could write but I look at some stories and they are so complicated I do wonder how someone came up with the idea in the first place Confused. I am meant to be doing some work today, I have a very long list of To Dos but I am too tired. That's what you get for being a dirty stop out.

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 15:46

I am getting very excited about Spooks tonight, how come none of you have written on my thread? Hmmm???

PassTheTwiglets · 18/09/2011 15:53

You have a Spooks thread?! Will look for it instantly! (though have been avoiding Twitter/too much Spooks talk etc as don't want spoilers) I am beyond excited. So sad at lack of Lucas too though - just think how excited we would all be then! Still can't wait though - am counting the hours!

I think that pic is the same look as the one I recently said I didn't like, which is always touted whenever journos need a Spooks pic. Sorry though, LadyD - don't mean to diss your pic choices!

Oh, I can't write at all, Small. I am truly hopeless at it. I just want to try.

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 15:56

It was the stillness of it that struck me, and his eyes.

But it's fine. You don't have to like it.

borrows Gizzy's boots to make stomp off even more pointed

Don't think we'll believe that for a minute, young lady - that is not what you are borrowing them for....

PassTheTwiglets · 18/09/2011 16:03

If you want pretty Lucas...

SupermassiveLBD · 18/09/2011 16:03

I liked your pic, LadyD. Maybe it's the angle it's taken from, because i don't see how hair that short could be bouffant.

Your pic seems quite different to me, though, Twigs. He seems to have a parting in that.

I bet you can too write. Your posts are always great. Why shoud a fic be any different?

No one going to watch Downton Abbey then?

SupermassiveLBD · 18/09/2011 16:06

I was referring to your earlier pic, with the black shirt, Twigs. In the last one, he looks like an elf.

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 16:07

I think it's the set of his jaw in that first photo, but I do love twigs' one

Not a proper Spooks thread Twigs, don't get too excited!

I've just been looking at the horrible histories thread and found , looks like the Man won't need to put the record straight as HH has done it for him Grin

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:08

I can't think what caught my eye in this pic.

::wonders just what Twigs was implying::

::decides not to remind anyone of Boots Kecks Boots scenario for fear of being misunderstood::

SupermassiveLBD · 18/09/2011 16:13

Ah, look at him go! He does run with all his heart, doesn't he?

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 16:13

Blimey, his costume designer knows exactly where to just take his clothes in an inch or two

Boots kecks boots Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 18/09/2011 16:14

Yes, it's not really bouffant, it's just the angle as you said, Massive. I think the look on his face is similar in both.

I think I could write a different fic (with a different character), I just can't seem to write this one. I don't want to give up though.

I am definitely going to watch Downton, I adore it! Spooks comes first though, will do Downton tomorrow. Go Team Spies!

ROFL at Boots Kecks Boots - I think BKB needs to be entered into the Academy lexicon. Lady D, I LOVE that running one. Please forgive what I am about to say next but would you just look at his arse in that. Sorry. It's my hormones.

PassTheTwiglets · 18/09/2011 16:16

But of coruse I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out one little niggle. The suit is too shiny :)

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:17

I like his jaw line far more than could be considered normal though, Small Grin. Pretty Lucas is nice but it's more angsty, mine seems quite peaceful to me.

That HH Richard III video is fab. Could we suggest they reshoot it with a slightly more handsome king, do you think?

Twigs, what are you trying to write?

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:19

Funnily enough (and you'll all be dumbstruck at this revelation) it was his arse and thigh that caught my eye when I saw it. I didn't even register the shininess or otherwise of the suit.

::one track mind emoticon::

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:20

Why, when I type :: and an 'o' does it turn it into a grin? That's not in the shortcuts.

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 16:21

Sorry, the jaw line comment was actually meant about Twigs one not yours Lady D, I got confoosed.

Twigs, perhaps I was a bit more subtle than you in my observation of the clinging to sexy arse clothes.

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 16:23

Lady D I knew exactly what you were referring to!

PassTheTwiglets · 18/09/2011 16:23

Trying to write a Lucas story, LadyD. I used to love writing at school and at work but haven't done so for years and years and felt inspired to try again. It's so much harder than I realised though. that's the last line in the story

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:24

I have a dilemma tonight.

Coldfeet is on to record, LordD will want to watch Spooks, I want to record Downton and LordD will be recording SB2. Something has to give but what? I can't actually confess to needing to record Coldfeet so LordD doesn't know about the clash.

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:26

Grin @ last line in the story.

TheSmallPrint · 18/09/2011 16:26

Downton will be on iPlayer Lady D, you can watch anytime this week then.

Right, off to forage for food, there are small people who will be expecting sustenance at some point this evening....

LadyDamerel · 18/09/2011 16:27

Did you Small?

::not as subtle as I thought I was::

Wink
DumSpiroSpero · 18/09/2011 16:57

Have you got Virgin or Sky Lady D? Cold Feet 5 is on TV on demand UF you've got a Virgin XL package.

ROFL at keep it coming ladies - as it were. and Twigs last line! Grin
