I am assuming that we don't need to explain why it's called Footwell....

DumSpiroSpero · 05/10/2011 10:56

It would appear not!

I spent far too much time looking at Build-a-Bears on ebay last night. Look what I found:

John Porter

Lucas North

Dr Track ? sort of?

Grin you mad woman, step away from the BB Ebay stuff immediately. Mr S will notice if Miss Spiro's bears start getting transformed!

TheSmallPrint · 05/10/2011 10:59

Right I MUST do some work! Laters me lovelies.

Biscuitsandtea · 05/10/2011 11:10

Will be checking out that ep later then - I'm sure I don't remember a storyline like that Blush

DumSpiroSpero · 05/10/2011 11:23

There isn't anyone actually in the footwell, B & T - some of us ok, it was just me, in public at least were surmising that it wouldn't have been such a bad place to to be to put that look on his face! Blush Grin

No ta, I'd rather be the one in the seat

PassTheTwiglets · 05/10/2011 12:03

Oh God, my Waybuloo figures look like East German shotputters on steroids. I think my brother may change his mind about letting me do their wedding cake...

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 12:09

stop Distracting me ladies!!! PMSL at the Dr Track bear - not sure why, but just can't stop!! Maybe cos it reminds me of of my vision of The Man being an excellent Captain Barnacles!!!Grin

Thanks for the excellent revision paper Spiro - there is no way that I will remember them all to use, but at least I now know what they are!!!

Biscuit&Brew is actually very easy on my phone app as you just press biscuit button, but I do have to remember the Brew one is Brew and not [tea]!!Grin. Surely someone has done it before to you Biscuit&Brew - I'm not that clever!!Grin

Yes, watch out though - you will be on here far too often for your own sanity and will begin to fantasise about him all day everyday as if we weren't already!Grin!

I too don't remember the footwell moment, but yes Spiro - I thought the same as you obviously!GrinBlush

Right - RL calls very annoyingly - no time to watch all last nights seminars yet - The Colonel is out on manoeuvres this evening, so hopefully I'll get some done then, but I don't think he's actually going to be that late[pout] oops should really be happy that he's home shouldn't I?!BlushWink

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 12:10

Why on earth is your brother having Waybaloo characters on his wedding cake?!!!HmmConfused

WinkGrin!!

LadyDamerel · 05/10/2011 12:12

Biscuits is well and truly converted to the lunatic asylum Academy ethos, then. Grin.

Once the Slippery Mouse Finger Virus really takes hold you may also find yourself the proud possessor of Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3, which are very handy resources for those moments when visuals are impractical.

When the LittleBiscuit is old enough to appreciate the nuances of the storylines then resource 4 and resource 6 are recommended. As a responsible parent you should, of course, thoroughly vet them before allowing him to listen.

Finally, I'd like to present , which is a particular favourite of mine.

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 12:50

I'm really not here!!

But Twigs!! LOL! Your mistype, made me read it as Dr track's divorcing suit!!! Grin.

Let's hope our obsession studies don't end up that way!! But judging by some things I've read on-line on the slightly less academic studies more full-on worship sights! does make you wonder!!Grin

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 12:51

Would you look at that mistype!Blush sites!!! not sights!!!

Argh!!!! Maybe I should just stay here rather than write my business plan!!Smile

SupermassiveLBD · 05/10/2011 13:26

Well, i'm back, suitably fraught.

How come the most simple ordinary items are not available when you want them? I had to jump in a taxi eventually, and hare off to a mall, and i still didn't get what i really wanted Angry Now I've just had to eat two sticky buns to calm my nerves. and I'm cross that two were all I bought

Twigs, those Waybuloos are evil and sinister-looking enough to start with, i bet your versions wouldn't make that much difference. I think it's the wide set eyes that give me the creeps.

RP, I shouldn't worry about studying at the Academy. we may all thud and fan ourselves mightily, but we laugh at ourselves while we do it. so i don't think we're in serious danger.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 05/10/2011 13:36

I delude myself like to think that one of the important differences between this Academy and ::shudder:: some rival institutions is that we recognise the inherent daftness of a bunch of middle-aged - and I would remind some of you that denial is a river in Egypt - women thudding over a person they will never meet or (even more ludicrous) thudding over the depiction of a character who is fictional and exists only on the page, on dvd or in our addled heads.

SupermassiveLBD · 05/10/2011 13:41

It is rather enjoyable though Maud To kick up our heels a bit, and be teenagery all over again.

Although I accept that you yourself would never indulge in such frivolity. You are too busy studying Plato on the Aubusson

TheSmallPrint · 05/10/2011 13:44

middle aged in body but never in mind.

DumSpiroSpero · 05/10/2011 13:44

ROFL! Grin

LadyDamerel · 05/10/2011 13:48

Massive, have a coffee and an apple to calm your nerves.

And if that doesn't work, .

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 13:51

ROFL Spiro!!!Grin

Maud - you are right - although I find I'm nearing my 20's nowadays instead of going higher in age - it is more fun acting teenagery sometimes that having to be all dull and grown-up all the time!

I for one like to think that I am entirely normal in my admiRAble interest in our studies and totally understand that I will never get to meet The Man, or any of his characters but I refuse to believe that Lucas North is dead or in fact not even a real person!Grin

That reminds me, I could have sworn I saw Dame Judi Dench this morning outside Pets r us (or whatever it is called! Grin)

Russianpony · 05/10/2011 13:58

Hey popped up after your exercise clip Lady D. As this is Jellicle Song - do we think one of these dancers is our Man?! although thinking about it, you lot probably know exactly which one he is don't you?! Grin

SupermassiveLBD · 05/10/2011 14:00

Grin Spiro. "Sorry, sweetie, the nose and twiglets are a dead giveaway".

Very thoughtful of you, RP. thank you. But Marian doesn't seem to look very calm, watchng Gizzy with his chops round that apple. She has a very glazed sort of look in her eye, that always makes me want to laugh. As if she wishes he was chomping on something else more closely related to herself.

And riding is never too restful when hot henchmen are involved. I think i need emergenicy rations. Where is that Nutella i bought.

DumSpiroSpero · 05/10/2011 14:04

I Have just watched Ep 7 of Season 2 - "Let me look after you..."

Marion is clearly completely insane!
