The Lucas North Faculty of Parachute Studies at the UMN

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

Nobody liked the dinner and sulked? Wot? I would go on strike and get Pizza-U-Like on speed-dial.

But first we must banish the boredom.

Will check those out properly later as am watching Outnumbered at the mo.

ROFL at "When you said we could go anywhere, that was just another Mummy promise was it?"

Where have I heard that before !

Ah , the Bolian guys

I wonder however they thought that up? And where do you find these things [even more confused]

That Coldplay spoof was I loved the moody walking along the seashore bit.

As for the motto, to misquote Mrs Beeton, first find your love
I expect you approved of the ukelele porn however

Did you mean where do I find these oddities in the bowels of YT? Or where do the Blue Man Group find their props?

Mitch Benn does spoof songs on The Now Show. and still miss JP.

I am having trouble with my ukulele. It's more difficult than I thought. I need to have ukulele lessons, I reckon.

What a shame we don't get Glee on the Island, but I don't think it would translate. That mall looks very like the one just down the road from us though. Maybe I should pop down there tomorrow and check out what is going on there.

Loving BTTB Bear, btw, and having spent 2 hours on the website earlier this evening, am also at these!
Had a certain amount of trouble getting out of explaining my guffaw of laughter to Miss S!

Am watching Outnumbered on catch up - have only got into it recently. I love the one where Karen accuses mum of being 'lesbianist' as they're walking down the street & makes the point that her friend's mum is a lesbian and is lovely.

Mum replies in a weary tone: "She's not a lesbian, Karen, she's Lebanese."

::imagines Massive taking part in a Glee-style flashmob::

Very cute, Spiro, but I should have thought that as he was ex-SAS, he would go commando.

Evening. Just a quick visit before bed, I have been to the cinema this evening and am now stuffed full of over priced popcorn and cola. I need a good night sleep tonight in preparation for tomorrow so see you all later and I will catch up on vids when I get a moment to myself.

Clunk.

Wot, with my sense of rhythm, Maud?

You've done it again Massive...

THUD!

What did you see Small?

Goodnight, Small, I hope the movie was good!

Hiya, Small. What did you see? I am desperate, desperate I tell you, to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. And possibly (although less sure of this one) Jane Eyre.

TTFN.

Why the THUD, Spiro, have you got a thing for bare bears?

Not bare bears but bare TDHSB's...yum!

Just saw the ad for TTSS - haven't read the book, but film looks really good. Definitely going to see Jane Eyre.

Yeah, we'll go to see both in the end, I hope. ::resolved to get out more emoticon:: I read several Le Carres, back in the day.

Mr Rochester was my biggest literary crush until ..... ::trails off into a reverie::

Mmmm - I've always loved Mr Rochester.

Being as you are quite 'into' the theatre Maud - have you ever seen 'Tartuffe'?

I knew nothing about it, other than the name tbh, but had a tweet the other day and the ETT are doing a version that has been re-jigged by Roger McGough which looks really good. Just curious if anyone's familiar with it and thinks it would be worth going to see.

Do. Not. Mention. Moliere. To me.

I am sure it's wonderful but having sufferered from the wretched man at skool, etc,. i have no friendly feeling towards him whatsoever

No, but it was a set book for A level French. C'est un homme à mener par le nez and all that. (All credit to my French teacher for dinning it in so well that I can still remember it ::cough:: years later). It's a play about human vanity and credulity. If it's been translated by Roger McGough, whom I esteem greatly, I'd say go.

Ha! at Massive's equal and opposite reaction.

Well, i was in the postion of having to wing a whole answer about a Moliere play I'd never read on my finals paper.

Oooh la la! Or even, just for you !
