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 :)

Clive Anderson always used to do that too - never let anyone get a word in edgeways.

Well TwigBoy and I are off to drama club now - be back later for party!

I'm not too keen on his youthful looks either!! Twigs!

That hair-gel salvation pic - well words just fail me have you seen his hands - I've never noticed them before Small got me hooked, but they are gorgeous!

Can't believe Thorin doesn't get his shirt off! But I suppose as we discerning academians, we also worship his acting skills, so should appreciate him with his clothes on I suppose or something like that!

oops meant Lady D, not twigS! Sorry I'm obviously very distRActed this afternoon!

Ae - just watched the Colonel on YouTube again - made me realise I quite like his hands too! which is just as well!!

for Small!

It is Small who likes his hands isn't it??????

I think we all like the hands RP!

well they are mighty fine hands!! (still need convincing by his toenails and armpits though!!!

Will this do?

They're not bad, as feet go.

Terrible taste in socks though!

Just for you Maud!

Ladiez, you are excelling yourselves. I was feeling ver' distraught and frustrated, no important reason, just a minor RL contretemps and I log on here to find all the jolly banter, Spiro's magnificent coup of getting a pic of the day for us on net dot com, and the interviews.

I had seen the LK one but not the S3 Gizzy. As I always say, how very different he is when he's not in character. it's as if Gizzy comes along and inhabits his body. Toenails and all. There is a pic of his bare feet somewhere but I don't know if you can crank the zoom up enough to see those.

I have to say he was cute enough when young but like fine wine, he has matured into extreme elegance.

Where was the 'beg' link? I missed it. Although perhaps it's as well. You know what i'm like

x posted, Spiro. Trust you to know where it was1

Did I hear the Thorin hands have a soupcon of prosthetic about them?

Massive "Beg" was in the trailer at the beginning of the LK interview!! I'd never actually seen the whole scene as it were! Wasn't much of a Beg she did really was it?! I'm sure we would have been more sincere if asked to "beg" in that manner!!

Have to say ignoring the fact that Maud will think she's gone mad but they are pretty lovely feet seeing quite a few of them as I do in my line of work!!!. I'd happily do my magic on them!

HAve to say MAssive that I'm not holding out much hope of finding Thorin his most attractive role!! May just have to close my eyes and listen to his voice instead!!!

I'm sure we would have been more sincere if asked to "beg" in that manner

Absolutely, RP, I am a proper little begger once I get going.

I bet they never dreamed it was going to be of such interest to naughty ladies like us when it was invented. I notice it features in a zillion fevered fanfics. my own included

Must read some of these fanfics!!

Have to say that I obviously have to say a lot today!!!. Help maybe I'm a bit like LK and I can't stop talking when faced with even the idea of a meeting with RA!!

Just realised i hd not actually seen that LK interview. He had got his S2 Gizzy hair, sigh.

And as you say, the words 'hind leg' and 'donkey' come to mind.

But no wonder he was all shy, after she called him a beautiful boy.
Nothing wrong with her eyesight, then.

While investigating our military training videos, I came across this! All I can say is

Although I suppose we'd get our man if we looked like any of these!!!

Not very kind to the more mature figure subtle, it it, RP?

Sorry this made me LOL!!

- not getting on too well with investigating how to set up a website am I? Any hints ladies?! Now's the time to own up that one of the many "fan" sites is actually run by one of you!!

ROFL at the pertinence of that link, RP .

I can go one better than that.

Mentally dating a celebrity's invention that I know doesn't exist

It's all I can do to navigate a website, RP, never mind setting one up.

Something to calm Maud's nerves after the toenail picture!
