I obviously meant man and was talking about the 3rd one in page 3!!!

I love my cosy blankets!! We've got a real fire for first time - quite excited!! Perfect ambience for watching certain man!Smile

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 22:45

I was assuming man, RP but now you've made me think it's probably a woman.

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 22:45

Ooooh slanket!!! I'd love one but I'd prefer to share it....!Wink

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 22:47

I thought man initially, but then thought woman.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/09/2011 22:47

LadyD, I am liking the good doctors' prescription but I I have only a couple more episodes left and I don't really want to watch one of those, cos it's the Sad one. . I am kicking myself now for not getting S2.

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 22:48

OK, own up. Which Academian posted this one then?

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 22:48

LadyD - my new dressing gown is not far off being a slanket.

TBH if I had the option I could happily turn into the female equivalent of Hugh Heffner and spend my days in PJ's and fluffy slippers.

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 22:49

I thought that might be one of us too! Grin

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 22:51

Not me cos it's a but blasphemis (great made up word and I'll ignore the adultery I'm commiting in my head - double-standards and all that!!Grin
But I do agree his hands are beautiful!!!Smile

Really can't believe how many adoring fans this man has - Tis amazing the academy is not full to bursting with willing students!Grin

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 22:51

I still haven't watched it either and not sure I ever will. I'm happy to live in complete denial Blush.

I saw a clip in the Bibliotheque of them filming the dungeon fight scene and was amazed because the actors do the whole thing at half speed and the camera shoots at double speed (or something) so it looks the way we see it. Jolly clever.

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 22:53

What happens in the sad one? They don't kill him fo they?Sad what is it with his characters?? Too sexy they can't stay alive???!Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 22/09/2011 22:53

Well none of them are mine. Yet. Grin

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 22:55

My money is on Small, she has a huge hand (fnar fnar) obsession, doesn't she?

I'm with you re. Hugh Hefner, Spiro. I am often tempted to become one of those dreadful women who drop off at school in their PJs. However, this is Not That Sort Of Village and there would be a collective heaving of bosoms and cats' bums mouths.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/09/2011 22:57

Well, he does get a rather nasty sword wound, RP, and Robin thinks he's dead, but he wasn't thinking straight at the time. That's what I tell myself anyway.

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 22:57

My mum used to drive me to school in her dressing gown. She claims she can't remember ever doing it but I remember the embarrassment!!!Grin

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 22:59

So massive a bit like we've apparently seen lucas' dead hand but I refuse to believe it and it was actually a clever soy double-switch hand model so Lucas could ride off into the sunset on his black stallion dressed in leather SAS uniform!Grin

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 23:00

One for Twigs in the morning.

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 23:01

I wouldn't go so far as the school run in PJs (probably just as well since I usually go straight into work afterwards Grin)

But I wouldn't be that surprised to see it tbh - we live in a very 'eclectic' area, and if I'm completely honest (and assuming they were particularly funky, clean PJ's) I would have a sneaking sense of admiration for anyone eccentric enough to actually do it Blush!

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 23:01

Soy = spy!!

Fat excitable fingers and thumbs and phone keypads don't mix! Probably ought to go sleeping anyway - got a mountain of stuff to do in the morning as well as a spin class!

Night all
xxxSmile

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 23:03

Lucas ran down the fire escape and the big bang and the car alarm going off was due to someone rear-ending the car in front because the driver was too busy ogling Lucas's bottom as he ran down the street.

That's my take on it anyway Grin.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/09/2011 23:10

Of course it was, LadyD. And what about poor JP? I am sure we could dream up something just as ridiculous ingenious for him.

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 23:15

I'm going to write an AU fanfic for JP, carrying on from the end of the first series. Need to finish the short and rude one first though, and I've got another Gizzy one up my sleeve!

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 23:16

Although even going with ep 1 s2 of Strikeback - terrorists have been known to fake assassinations before...

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 23:17

If I saw that bottom running down the road while I was driving I would almost certainly crash so it's not that ridiculous a theory.

The being shot in the head is slightly trickier to explain away but I'm sure we could manage.

Erm, the bullet missed so it was just a graze but being a scalp would it bled an awful lot. However, judicious application of a Mr Bump cooling whatnot and a plaster soon sorted him out.

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 23:23

Do not remind me of how much scalps bleed!

Miss S fell off her slide about 18 months ago and had to shoot down to A & E - we were there two hours and the cut didn't stop bleeding - was horrible. Couldn't see the damage as she has very thick hair and it was on the back of her head.

When it finally healed and the glue came out the actual cut was about half a centimetre long!
