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 :)

Ooops, sorry, that's the one my friend keeps on his desk. This is the one I meant to post.

Maud, you are going to be a bit chilly in Covent Garden in November, in that get-up, aren't you?

I never knew he had a water phobia. Poor lamb! No wonder gizzy is so unkempt and on need of a wash then!

Is it not suspicious that these confessions seem to appear when spiro's about?? It's your website isn't it??!!!

You're slacking, Spiro me either.

Maud, nice bum ::gazes admiringly:: Ever thought of purchasing a pair of leather kecks?

Massive, I think when all the evidence is considered, the certificate is most definitely mine and fairly earned.

Apparently he fell into a pond whilst strapped into a buggy when he was about 2/3 - hence the issues with water.

In spite of which he underwent water-boarding for real for Spooks.

Lady D - it has now though !

Are you coming on to me, LadyD? I only dress up for Mr Thornton (see Boden catalogue above)

Gizzy looks unkempt in S3 because he's a Tortured Soul, RP. Have you no poetry in you, girl?

I was reading about that water boarding. He likes to do all his own stunts just wish they were with me! and the screams in the waterboarding scene were not acting!

But what kind of mother would drop his pram into water not one who ignores her children in the bath to watch YouTube excerpts of her secret adolescent crush!

On the Frankie side of things Maud - I meant to post in response to your 'I won't dance' vid the other day.

Although certain Academicians might prefer

Ooh still learning my crossings out!!

Nope no poetry in me!! I'm a scientist!! Mist culture references I've ever read have been from you ladies within the academy!!. Got book club tomorrow eve - will have to pretend to be cultured for the evening!!

... and, besides, Gizzy's hectic schedule of arson, homicide and general mayhem leaves little room for trips to Ye Salon de Toni and Guy (Nottamun branch).

Nice dancing Hugh!!! Merci beaucoup!

Nice vids, Spiro. Mr J is a lovely mover. One might almost say snake-hipped. I had quite a turn the other day when I was gazing aimlessly out of the window and he was gazing back at me (courtesy of an advert on the side of a bus).

What's your book tomorrow, RussianPony?

Night night all!!!

::gulp::

Oh dear. I seem to have just 'got' certain Academians' fascination with Hugh Jackman .

::misuses IF for a moment::

I do like a man who can sing and dance.

Gizzy's hectic schedule of arson, homicide and general mayhem

Hey, Maud, you forgot to mention the...

.

He does . And very well, I must say.

Exactly, LadyD. The only film of his I have watched (Australia) was tedious not to my taste, but any man who can sing and dance will always be ::ahem:: inspirational. Have you met

Oh yes, Massive, in series 3 I forget the attempted regicide. But ... comely ... withal.

Right. I have an urgent appointment with my duvet. Good night all. Including you, Kevin and Perry.

Night lady v. I too really an going soon as I'm down to 3%!!

Book is The Very Thought of You by Rosie Alison. Have you read it?? Actually quite enjoyed it but was pretty sad as no-one seemed very happy with the life they'd been dealt! No marriages were ultimately happy and nearly everyone died just as they got happy!!

Exactly, LadyD.

Knighty bitey all. x

Night Maud and RP

Thank you Maud for proving that the Man is, indeed, Real and not a figment of our imaginations.

And thank you, RP for being our resident boffin, and coming back to us, just in time.

::Looks back at you::

Knighty bitey biker night, indeed
