Maud - my fingerprints? Not sure I follow?

SupermassiveLBD · 27/09/2011 23:36

So which one is yours, LadyV? they seem have just put Twigs's two up Grin

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/09/2011 23:37

I was just speculating, LadyV, about the reasons for your knowledge of that site and whether you might perhaps have contributed to it. Wink

Russianpony · 27/09/2011 23:37

By trucking you mean????

The colonel is convinced that you're all truckers from Bolton (not sure why Bolton?Hmm) so he endearingly calls you all my truckers!

Be good to try to meet but probably have to be weekend as school day not long enough depending when/where etc!!

LadyVenetia · 27/09/2011 23:39

Really have a couple of Twigs confessions made it?

Actually I did submit something but it has not shown up (yet?) obviously not witty enough, will have to try again...

LadyDamerel · 27/09/2011 23:39

I'm up for end of Nov.

Night, Spiro, just in case!

I have just howled at the comments on richardarmitagesbeard. Thank you Maud. You may stay at the Academy despite your lack of application to subjects outside of your specialism ::generous::

::over-infalted sense of self importance::

::considers who the Vice Chancellor is and Maud's enthusiastic studying of Plato on the Aubusson with the aforementioned Vice Chancellor::

Nice one, MrS's team, getting slaughtered so MrS gets the 'ump and calls it a day!

DumSpiroSpero · 27/09/2011 23:40

Still going - I went out with a trucker once and picked up the expression from him is not rhyming slang Blush

We met up in Covent Garden last time as it was fairly central for us all - is London doable for you?

SupermassiveLBD · 27/09/2011 23:42

I was joking about Twigs's confessions, sorry LadyV. It was bad of me and Gizzy will have to punish me.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/09/2011 23:42

That's interesting, RussianPony, because we sometimes ::wave:: to Kevin and Perry from Runcorn who (for a while at least) were writing Lucas's script on Twitter. Nobody on this thread has met me, so I may well be a trucker from Notlob - and Massive is almost certanly a trucker on her tropical island - but the others have met and are (or so they claim) real people.

DumSpiroSpero · 27/09/2011 23:42

Lady V - I have contributed also but no show so far they are probably trying to track me down and call the men in white coats

LadyDamerel · 27/09/2011 23:42

Twigs swears blind the ears one isn't hers, Small swears blind the hands one isn't hers and Massive swears blind the S3 Gizzy one isn't hers.

Personally, I can smell something in the air...

::sniffs::

smells like....

::sniffs again::

yes, definite whiff of cows in the air tonight.

DumSpiroSpero · 27/09/2011 23:44

and are (or so they claim) real people.

Although, no photo's were taken of said meet-up so there is

LadyVenetia · 27/09/2011 23:46

I'm getting to really like Tumblr....

SupermassiveLBD · 27/09/2011 23:46

the season three Gizzy one is so not me.

i have filthy thoughts about all three seasons' Gizzys.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/09/2011 23:46

Thank you, LadyDamerel. I suppose it may be true that my ::blush:: very special relationship with the Vice Chancellor means I will never be rusticated and may even be guaranteed a First.

LadyDamerel · 27/09/2011 23:47

There were no photos for a blooming good reason, Spiro.

So now I know who stoie my valuable document from me. Angry

LadyDamerel · 27/09/2011 23:49

Grin Massive. Me too, me too although mainly season 2 at the moment.

DumSpiroSpero · 27/09/2011 23:50

I think you might have competition there Lady D.

Although the weather was pants and we were all a bit rain-lashed and windswept by the time we met.

Russianpony · 27/09/2011 23:51

I think London is doable. I'll bring my big gizzy sword and porter weapon as protection in case you are all axe murderers!!Grin

Maybe we should have an academy trip to the massive's island?

Found a selection of cards to chose the academy Christmas cards from!!

LadyVenetia · 27/09/2011 23:53

Nice cards, RP, though not quite getting the relevance of the cold water tap?? Or is that Armitage Shanks?

DumSpiroSpero · 27/09/2011 23:55

Have you seen the latest two confessions?

cannot believe, given the lusciousness of The Voice, that the phone sex one has never occurred to me Shock

Russianpony · 27/09/2011 23:56

Stop making me ROFL Ladies!! The colonel is snoring happily!!Grin

Just seen I've only got 8% battery left and my charger is not within reach and it's very dark and without one of those magnificent hands to hold I'm not going downstairs alone! My time may be running out!!
