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 :)

We're still here Lady V - how's things with you?

RP is an old Academician from back in the early days who has returned to the fold - will let he fill you in on the details.

Did you realise it is a year today since the thread started? Hence Pic of the Day!

We only seem to be on active convos late, when the is hardly any activity elsewhere. At times just one post is enough to get there!

And who is going to trawl through three pages of googling unless they are as bad as we are?

::Whispers:: who's lady Venetia? Remember I'm an uncultured scientist. Does she not like me?

Hullo, LadyV - long time no see. How are you, my alter ego?

RP was Fettle from the early threads if you were there then.

LadyV! How are you? What have you been up to lately?

Lady V is a regular who came along to our meet up over the summer - I think you may have just missed each other back at the beginning of the year.

For a long time it's just been me, Twigs, Small, Massive, Maud & Lady's Venetia a & Damerel, so new name/name changes liable to confuse!

Are we all fessing up our cupboards of lust then?? Would you like mine? Let's see...

Oh crikey. Do we really turn up on google searches? I had pathetically hoped that by never using his full name we would evade the search engines but the search engines, like the Mounties, always get their man.

::Pauses::

I just googled the name and none of our insanity learned discourse was on the first six pages at least. I was, though, reminded of this spectacular resource.

And thank you, Massive, for that vid. I confess I'd never watched it before - although YT keeps thrusting it at me in the most importunate manner - because I assumed the soundtrack was by whatever boyband first recorded the song.

::Fussy::

Hi Fettle, I was PrairieOyster a while back....

And by the way - congratulations all round - one year anniversary WOO HOO!!!

Ahh! I understand. Nice to meet you lady V! I was indeed here from the very start a year ago today and helped instigate the continuation of our lifeline before someone else had the chance! but then real life called me away. But the return of spooks and brief shots of Lucas brought my addiction thirst for armitage knowledge back so I re-enrolled!

Still can't believe I missed a meet up!

Mr S coming through the door so I may have to say goodnight in a mo!

Perhaps we'll have to try and organise a pre-Christmas meet-up, if anyone else fancies it. I can do Wednesdays or Saturdays.

Ah prairieoyster I do remember you!!!

Maud maybe it is just my overworked google engine then!! I'll just eat the cookies and all will be better!!

Well Maud, you have to scrape the barrel a bit nowadays at YT.

There are quite few Spooks ones but they are always so mournful, I can't look at them. Same with a lot of the Guy/Marian ones, at least for me. I get too upset for poor little Gizzy-wizzy, you see..

::Looks at rather pathetic Pile of Admiration::

North and South (well-worn)
Robin Hood series 1 -3 (The Daughter now has most of the script off by heart)
Venetia
Sylvester (still in original packaging)

::Awaits ejection from Academy on grounds of insufficient application to her studies::

Yay to Christmas meet up!!! Best to get it in the diary early though coz Christmas can be crazy due to the insane number of parties I get invi.....oh, I can probably do anytime ::am I sad::

Here is another spectacular resource - anyone here fessed up yet?

But that wasn't scraping the barrel, Massive. It was well lush, innit?

Hmm. It has your fingerprints all over it, LadyV!

Bitey knighty Spiro!

I too should probably head for sleep - busy day tomorrow!!

Sweet dReAms all!
xxx

Ditto Lady V! I was thinking last week Nov/first week Dec, before it gets completely manic.

Anyone else fancy it?

Sweet dReAms in advance to Spiro, in case she has depart sharpish. Thank you for all the wonderful stories.

Ps Christmas meet sounds ace.

Pps having been converted to his toes today, I'm liking his ears too now but still not quite got it with his armpits? Maybe tomorrow!!

There may be one or two Academy contributions on there Lady V!

Mr S has come in - moaned at the overall crapness of his footy team and buggered off to bed so am still trucking !
