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 :)

Night Twigs!

RP - Sparkhouse is written by Sally Wainwright of 'Meet the Braithwaites' fame. It is a modern adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' with the Cathy & Heathcliff roles reversed. RA's more minor role as been compared to that of Hareton Earnshaw I believe.

It's also really cheap!

Spiro! You will, I zink, be first on ze couch for ze analysis of your psyche.

I hope you're not implying that I need my head read because of my lust affection for

::Staggers in, looking desperately for Polish cordial::

Wot, no fancy dress? I thought we were going to dress up a bit tonight. I found a lovely frock in the Boden catalogue.

Good night, Twiggy.

Massive, 2nd one was only Love Game again as RP couldn't watch it earlier (or now, clearly as I messed up the link).

Spiro, I am so with you on Sparkhouse. I re-watched part of it last week and properly heart John Standring. Although I do have to follow it up with a certain fic afterwards to get the happy ending I need for him!

I am half considering adding Spooks 7 to the Box of Lust. Would that be bad? Or just Waaaay too obvious?

Ah, wilkommen, dearest Siggy, how are you this evening?

And how do you feel about that?

Oooh ladies look his voice is on TV on Saturday!! getting desperate now!!

Night twigs - I should really go to sleep too before the colonel disowns me!! Although he's happily househunting on the other side!

Oh, RussianPony, all of Sparkhouse is available on YT if you don't mind it being in teeny-weeny instalments. 'Tis very good, even without a Bananarama soundtrack.

I shall look it out in instalments then in between trying to actually get anything done in realife!

What about frozen? It too is a new project I've not yet had the chance to study!

Maud, if they're doing 20% off and free post and returns, can you order me the one on the right (in a size 8, obviously), please? TIA

Night Twigs!

Hello Maud, I have been wondering where you were. it seems to be more of a pyjama party in the dorm style of occasion, tonight.What a shame, i'm loving your Boden threads

Meanwhile,

RP, if you're that desperate and have Sky then this is the only reference you need. The budgie smugglers are making an appearance on a random channnel on Sunday nights at the moment.

I am half considering adding Spooks 7 to the Box of Lust. Would that be bad? Or just Waaaay too obvious?

Ok, my cupboard of lust comprises:

Sparkhouse
Ultimate Force
Frozen
The Golden Hour
Moving On
Between the Sheets
George Gently
North & South
Shakespeare Re-told
The Vicar of Dibley
The Impressionists
Robin Hood Complete Boxed Set
Spooks 7, 8, 9
Strikeback Series 1

Also This Year's Love & probably the Star Wars one, although they were pre-existing.

Have seen Cold Feet 5 and Marie Lloyd but not bought them yet.

I am probably the wrong person to ask !

Guten abend, gnädige Frau. I am sehr well, apart from ze trifling matter of ze huge vound vere Herr Gisborne has punctured me wiz ze vast broadsword. My feelings on zis are sehr complicated, as Herr Gisborne's fondness for ze broadsword could perhaps be said - I am sure you vill forgive me, gnädige Frau - to be somevat Freudian.

Just a modest little selection, then, Spiro.

Haven't even started on the audio books

Yes, Siggy dear, Herr Gisborne can tend to get a little confused about what goes where at times, I have to admit.

I do have sky but don't think we get any of those channels. Hence why I found the itv2 one as I know I get that!!

Will be searching out for sure tomorrow tho!

BTW have any of you noticed that other than being on the most active convos frequently but even more disturbing is that if you google anything RA a link to one of our many threads nearly always turns up before page3!! Not sure if that's good or bad but I'd say that we're probably on his stalker control radar!!

Does mr S have any inkling of the object of your desires Spiro? Or have you told him it is all for honest wholehearted innocent research?

Haven't even started on the audio books

I was tactfully not drawing attention to that fact.

And it's still going.

Oh Siggy, you do crack me up .

Spiro, my Box of Lust is paltry compared to your cupboard. i have:

Sparkhouse
North & South
The Vicar of Dibley
Robin Hood Complete Boxed Set
Sylvester
Venetia
TCM

So Spooks would pad it out a bit, although some of the more obscure DVDs may slip under LordD's RAdar which is becoming alarmingly acute.

Have you all gone????? Nooooo!!!!

And who is russianpony? ::gulp::

I've only got north & south!! Can't see the colonel approving of more unnecessary in his eyes purchases!! Will have to make do with YouTube, his John porter likeness and my imagination!

This is the thing - Mr S and I have radically different taste in everything.

If it's not sport, reality tv, sci-fi or horror, he won't take a blind bit of notice what I put in the DVD cupboard. Hence me being able to indulge to my heart's content and consider taking out shares in Amazon

RP, it's something to do with cookies that makes the threads so prominent within Google. If you clear your cookies or use a different ISPthingummy then it doesn't happen.

Don't ask me any more than that though. It was explained in the wider MN a while ago but I am too much of a technonumpty to be able to understand or explain the concept in any more detail.
