Duh. Painted by Botticelli.

SupermassiveLBD · 21/09/2011 22:13

Night RP. Sleep tight.

Isn't the neck bone connected to the throat bone, Maud? And thus gains by association?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/09/2011 22:16

Good night, RussianPony!

Throat?

::collapses::

SupermassiveLBD · 21/09/2011 22:22

Do you want some of Gizzy's Vicks, for it, Maud?

LadyDamerel · 21/09/2011 22:28

35 down, 35 to go. Could be a late night....

Thank you for saying nice things about the cakes Smile. Whoever asked about the bag, it was for my god-daughters 18th so I wanted it to be special. It took hours and hours to do but it was worth it in the end. It's one of my best, I think ::nothing if not modest emoticon::

The tree/gag episode is 1.8 if anyone is interested - the one where the PLFW realises Guy was the assassin in the Holy Land and tries to kill him in the forest. They do lots of rolling around on the floor which is a position I would dearly love to be in with Gizzy and Rob's 21st century belts keeps his 12th century kecks up.

MrT's throat is particularly fine, Maud, I agree. As is Gizzy's, oddly enough.

LadyDamerel · 21/09/2011 22:29

Sorry, apostrophe fail there god-daughter's.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/09/2011 22:32

::slowly regains consciousness::

Hmm. I can think of better things to do to Mr Thornton's throat than rub Vicks on it.

::reverie::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/09/2011 22:34

Be still my beating heart

Well, I need an early night. Bonne nuit a tous!

::flips a coin with Mr Thornton to see who gets the FWTSNS tonight::

SupermassiveLBD · 21/09/2011 22:40

Well, rolling around a forest floor with Gizzy is okay if you have no other choice of location, I suppose.

And you could use a break from those cupcakes, after all.

That sure is one fine throat, Maudie. have a good night, my dear.

I think I am off too, but as usual, I am hoping my knight will be bad.

LadyDamerel · 21/09/2011 22:42

Look Maud, he's all ready and waiting for you to rugby tackle Margaret out of the way nuzzle his throat. Night!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 21/09/2011 22:49

::Looks back at you::

I assure you, LadyD, that since he met me Mr Thornton has entirely forgotten Margaret as I am a total babe.

::Takes Mr Thornton's hand and leads him away::

PassTheTwiglets · 22/09/2011 06:59

It was me who mentioned the bag, LadyD. It certainly is one of your best, it's just... incredible. Those folds in the bag are just brilliant. Most of my icing looks a bit like that when I'm trying to do it flat, mind you :)

Do you make your own fondant or use a shop-bought one? Just wondering if you find one easier to work with than another. I've never made me own but suspect it would be harder to use.

Re. your night out, Small - I love him :) Saw him in a little gig here a few years ago - fantastic. Hoping to go out tonight to see Tinker, Tailor, Hairdresser, Accountant but waiting to find out this morning whether mum is able to babysit

How today, Massive? Was your knight bad? I do hope so.

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 07:49

Ooh Twig - I want to see that too! Although it won't be a patch on our own dear soldier and spy!

Reading about the tree tying episode, I just had to rush on here this morning in between preparing for my frantic day (never done a theme park before, am I going to hate it???!), to give you [ this little delight]]. Not quite is most smouldering, but still all tied up!Grin

::although knowing your insatiable appetites, you'll have no doubt seen it already!!!::

ps I really need help!!!! I was listening to Ringo Starr read Thomas the Tank Engine today and I began imagining RA as The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt!!Grin[all aquiver]

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 07:51

poo I'm rubbish at linking!!

Russianpony · 22/09/2011 08:04

And finally now I'm on the proper computer!!! wow!!! LadyD!!!! Amaaaazzzzziiiiinnnnn!!!!!!

Those cakes are fantabulous!!! i don't even own a handbag that looks that good!!!GrinGrin

PassTheTwiglets · 22/09/2011 08:31

i don't even own a handbag that looks that good!!!

:)

Good luck at the theme park!

As for the Fat Controller... well you've truly lost it now, dearie. Sorry.

I am Sulky McSulkerson of Sulksville, Sulksvania. My mum can't come this week 'cos she's not well, so no help with kids and no cinema tonight :( I could actually cry! They usually come every week but between us we've all had so many illnesses (and they were on holiday) that it's been put off for about 2 months now and I can't believe it's happening again! I know most people don't get that much help and I'm extremely lucky and probably sound like a spoilt brat, but when you have that day of help each week you really look forward to it. It means I get help with the kids and we get to go out in the evening and I am wailing at the thought of losing that AGAIN! So no Colin Firth for me tonight after all :(

Oh Twigs.

::strokes Twigs' hair soothingly::

Have a Brew and a Biscuit and a bag of Bear.

LadyDamerel · 22/09/2011 10:43

Oh God, you're on a diet, aren't you? So making you think about biscuits and crisps probably hasn't helped at all.

Sorry Blush.

TheSmallPrint · 22/09/2011 11:03

Oh poo Twigs Sad just postpone and go next week, it will be on for a while yet and the cinema will probably be too packed at the moment anyway

DumSpiroSpero · 22/09/2011 11:59

Bummer Twigs - you'll have to crack open a bottle of Gizzy and watch a dvd instead Wink.

If you take a look on my profile you can see who came to visit me at work this morning! Grin

TheSmallPrint · 22/09/2011 12:41

Grin at your mini visitor Spiro!

PassTheTwiglets · 22/09/2011 12:43

at Spiro's visitor :)

You're right about the film still being on next week, Small. But I want to see it noooooooooooowwwwwwww!! We missed Planet Of The Apes & The Inbetweeners and I don't want to risk missing another one. We'll have to go separately if it's in danger of going and we still ahven't been, but I really need DrTwigs to come with me as I know I won't understand a word of it!

So making you think about biscuits and crisps probably hasn't helped at all.

No. Not at all

:)
