WARNING

Don't forget your hard hat, hi-viz gear and parachute. We lost a careless vice-principal this way only last year.

So sorry to hear about MrSpiro's friend's dad.

Had we heard that

Hello!!!

Just the photos Vamps.

Maud that sounds intriguing but I can't open it

Anyone around - sorry I had to cut and run yesterday, but I have more time today...

My condolences for MrSpiro's friends dad.

My hubby had a nice surprise today - he got a Herogram on the radio (Radio Surrey) this morning, for a fundraising idea he thought of, to raise money for a scout troup by getting people to sponsor the building of a scale model of their building out of Lego.

Hello, LadyV. What a great idea on the part of your lord!

I know - it's great - it's getting loads of news coverage. I just listened to the Surrey Breakfast show on iplayer and he gets a mention by name - and a Herogram. The story is also here on the BBC News website, but sadly no mention of his name there.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone - he's bearing up ok, staying with his brother for a few days while they get everything sorted.

Lady V that Lego idea is brilliant - well done Lord V!

Very well done LordV, that's a fab idea.

::notes it down for future PTA fundraising::

I've just started on Spooks 8. Two questions:

1. Are all the American accents truly awful and do they improve?

2. It's really scary, are they all this pant-wettingly terrifying or are some a little tamer?

Hi LadyD, no the accents don't improve....did you recognise Mr Bell yet?

I love Spooks but it can be incredibly terrifying!!!

Can't remember what 8.1 is about, don't think the accents improve though!

8.1 is the uranium/Iraq/Indian terrorists when Ruth comes back.

Eek, why didn't I wait for LordD to be in before I did this?

::quakes::

::can't stop watching Lucas::

The accents are making my ears itch.

I think the answers to your questions, LadyD, are

1. (a) Yes and (b) no - they probably become even more implausible

2. Yes but one gets used to it.

::Says she, who watched most of Spooks from behind Mr Thornton's broad and manly shoulder::

I think the music makes it even more scary. Lucas is very nice though.

I could do with that broad and manly shoulder, Maud.

::sends carriage to convey Mr Thornton to the Priory::

You have your very own plastic knight at arms, alone and palely loitering, LadyD. Mr Thornton is staying right here on the Aubusson with me.

Ew, that episode is pretty horrific - probably the worst though, although the last ep. has aspects in it that I personally find quite terrifying.

Isn't the little any Gizzy help, LadyD?

I mean isn't the little Gizzy any help, of course

Still no bids on the other Plastic Guy, I see.

::eyes Academicians suspiciously::

Maud and I x-posted, of course.

I found the episode where they were stuck in the panic room quite terrifying - though it did have the compensation of Lucas fighting in a swimming pool. Was that 8.3 or 8.4 maybe?

Was there another Gizzy, Maud?

That's because my super-espionage computer satellite is tuned in to the wavelength of your thoughts, Massive. You have no secrets from me.

::prepares blackmail bid::

Guy could be yours for 99p plus postage. If you want him, Massive, I'll buy him (unless I get locked in a bidding war with LadyD) and post him to the island disguised as a seasonal tidbit. Which of course he is.
