The 1 year anniversary thread of the UMN: we're not fussed about Tinkers or Tailors but we do like Soldiers and Spies

[PassTheTwiglets]

Ta-da!

Come on then Lady D, wallop the Champagne over our bow :)

::takes coffee gratefully::

There isn't a full fry up to go with it, is there?

want a mug for your coffee ladies!

Poor you Lady D - hope it passes quickly. My last major hangover lasted about 3 days!!

Never drinking that much again!

ooooh I need a new T-shirt for Pilates - do you think I could persuade DH? . I'd let him have one with Emilia Fox on it!!

Really must get on with some Sunday afternoon chores, but were you like Lady D!

Loving the mug and tee-shirt. Nicer graphics than the ones I have seen before.

There's money off that t-shirt, RussianPony - you simply have to buy it.

::thrifty::

I wonder whether the people denigrating SAHMs have ever stopped to calculate the hours of help they have to buy in because they don't have the time to do it themselves? Spiro's estimate of £12k seems on the low side to me.

Oooh. Spooks tonight. Lovely Harry (ok, not lovely in that way, but lovely nonetheless)(although my friend went into a reverie yesterday at the recollection of when he got his kit off gave a powerful and emotional performance in Equus).

Who played Dysart in that production, Maud?

I have no idea - I didn't go. Was having a stage-struck chat with some chums yesterday. Will go and rummage in the Dept of Speech and Drama archive ....

.... I would guess (from the probable date) that it was Alec McCowen. Why do you ask?

Just wondered. As a reformed Trekkie I remembered Leonard Nimoy (Mr Spock) played him on Broadway for a time.

My friend wouldn't have seen it on Broadway, Massive, and Peter Firth was a lovely-looking boy.

That vid, Spiro, has lovely visiuals but the music .... yeuch.

::More a Frank Sinatra kinda girl::

Oh, Spiro. You are trying to get me to burn the dinner again, aren't you?

He was indeed Maudie.

I rather like the music to that vid.Not something I would go for as a rule, but it fits the theme so well.

Sadly, it looks as if the longer version of this has been removed from the Bibliotheque de Youtube, so .

I do agree that the match of music to visuals in that vid is very good but I am too much of an old biddy to appreciate the music itself.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Maud, thank you for that picture of young Peter Firth. From now on, whenever I feel in need of cheering up, I shall look at that :) :) : ) :)

Old biddy or not, I had it running through my brain all the time after the first time Spiro posted it. So were the visuals, gawd help me. Guh!

But out of that context, I would not like it at all.

re the young Peter, it's kinda sad what happened later. but doesn't it just come to us all?

Come on, Twigs, he's sweet!

Who's Peter Firth? I think I may be showing my youth, but I don't remember that children's program?

You are all making me LOL!!!

I love the song with that Guy vid - especially the first lyric - "It's amazing...I'm the reason...everybody's fired up this evening" - just perfect for our Sir Giz! Could just imagine him with his big sword and that arrogant thought running through his head when he's really got his mojo working.

Peter Firth = Harry from Spooks!

Hmm - not sure harry naked would be my cup of . Although it would make me a cradle snatcher, think I could have coped with Daniel Radcliffe though!!

Aahh!!! You see as Lucas is a real person to me, therefore Harry is too!! didn't realise they were really Actorrrrs!

Re the leathersw - I was referring to the slightly rock-godesque photo, not the kids TV activities, which as we all know can be done [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wgTm-sidsI so much better]!
