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 :)

The odd painkiller when it all gets too much, that is all LadyD. Actually and I hardly daresay this, I do believe i am feeling much better now.

I didn't think to get RH2 on DVD because it was on our telly at the time, so i just got 1 and 3. So of course I haven't seen those interviews, though no doubt they are on YT somewhere. But what the Man says makes so much sense. and who should know better, of course.

And of course I too suffer from the rood/maternal dichotomy. When he's dasing about all anguished and angry i just want to hold him and say hush, hush. I suppose the double whammy is why I find him so compelling.

::resolutely ignores Maud's voice saying 'because he's still a leather clad homicidal maniac'::

You omitted the unwashed and the arsonist, LadyD.

::Collapses upon chaise longoo and wonders whether Mr Thornton would be kind enough to rub her feet::

Commiserations to all who are ill or have rellies who are ill. I have to say, Twiggy, that our quality of life has improved no end since the girls up the road have been old enough to babysit and addicted enough to Topshop to never turn down the gig. We now have the occasional evening out a deux. Yippee. I have forced myself to ignore the fact that the babysitting costs more than the cinema tickets because I'm it's worth it.

Oh and yes, I'm sure The Man's theory about Guy's fragile emotional health is spot-on. So that makes him an unwashed, leather-clad, emotionally-damaged arsonist and homicidal maniac but, as Massive would say, comely withal.

. Siggy would have had a field day with Guy if his homicidal tendencies hadn't overcome him the other day.

My 'Here' has disappeared into the ether, somehow .

Aww. Bless.

Siggy is still in the ITU, by the way.

Is he? Did Dr Track make it within the golden hour then? It all looked a bit messy when I was there.

Wretched bloodstains won't come off that couch, either. Tis a pity, it sits rather well in the Priory drawing room, bloodstains notwithstanding.

Right, cake to finish. Must away for a bit.

my maternal side quite often wants to just gather him up for a big cuddle.

When he's dasing about all anguished and angry i just want to hold him and say hush, hush.

Oh come on now ladies - do get your priorities right!

Maybe they have, Spiro!

Right. I'm off for an ultra early night. Behave yourselves ::fat chance emoticon:: and I'll see you tomorrow.

oooh looky looky what I found perfect!. You've probably seen this interview too - but........!

Although not sure I like The Man behaving like a real man at around 3'56 but at least it proves he is a real man I suppose!!

Sleep well Maud - I'm waiting for my shopping to arrive so not bed yet for me!

::Looks back at you, drowsily::

It could have been worse, RussianPony, he could have been picking his nose. And if we're talking about John Porter, we have to examine all the angles.

::collapses and crawls up top bed on hands and knees::

Thanks so much, LadyD and RP, for the Interviews, and a belated bitey knight to Maud.

I had to step away for a bit.

Has your shopping arrived yet, RP?

As for priorities, Spiro, sometimes it pays not to go in all guns blazing.

And of course, sometimes it doesn't.

No shopping yet. no food in house so sat eating microwave popcorn for supper and watching Glee!! Sorry I'm a secret gleek!! Or not so secret now I've admitted it on here!!!

Weren't those interviews lovely. Also
Found one of him chopping coriander and eating a piece of chilli!!

That one made me RP, as I love Thai Green Curry myself,

I am curious about Glee as we don't get it here, but i saw a box-set on sale in a local shop, so might indulge when the price comes down a bit.

I've seen both of those before several times but the first one is especially lovely.

My respect for Lorraine Kelly has increased in spades as if I'd been in her seat I would have struggled to manage coherent thought, let alone whole sentences!

Glee is ace! (if you like sacchariny high school US dramas crossed with musicals!! The colonel hates it!

She has some vey positive body language though spiro!!! At one point I thought her hands were going to stroke his knee but she stopped just short of them on the sofa!!

I really don't think I'd be able to piece together a coherent word let alone a sentence!

I'll have to watch that interview tomorrow on the proper pooter.

Spiro, I'm sure i have seen ones where the interviewer sort of reaches out to touch his thigh and then thinks better of it. Wasn't that LK too? Or am I off with the fairies again, courtesy of my Affliction?

RP, Glee sounds right up my street, the HSD element was what fascinated me about Buffy

Ah, x-post - i was right then! RP noticed it too

But who could blame her?

No blame here!! Just utter amazement at her self-control!!

I suppose the idea that millions of women would loathe and despise you if you touched might hold you back.

Then of course you would have to don the neutronium pants.

And I suppose write out your questions beforehand and have them writ very large indeed on your autocue.

Or just sit on your hands throughout!

Nope!! You should always think of yourself first!! then the consequences where The Man is involved!!

That's glee finished - jut love it. Secretly want to br a musical theatre star myself!! and shopping unpacked so off up to bed I go! Shattered after today - but could do with a little lovely dream!
