MoRning All

Hope we all had good knights!! I managed to dReAm - wait for it - ......... Justin aka mr tumble (thankfully as normalHmm Justin not in mr T outfit!). So disappointing!!! Nice man though!! Kids adored himGrin. Oh and to save my reputation best to point out it was a totally innocent dream and everyone kept all clothes on and a respectable 2 metre space apart!!Grin

But why? Why him? I don't spend all a large teeny part of every most some days thinking of him!Confused

Anywhos. Who is the other HJ if it's not the Scottish insect band member?

And who are Harry and Joan? Was it that combination you said Spiro? Can't go back and check on phone!

Lady D how is your weekend panning out?

Twigs how was dr who. Hope you're happier too

Small - x factor was rubbish I feel last night on the whole. Not impressed these lot were the best we could find in the country! I feel we would probably make a better girl band to compete this year!! The Armi Girls!!Grin

Massive glad you appreciated the younger model chest! Hadn't noticed he was too short as most men are for me anyway too busy drooling admiring his technique!!Grin

TheSmallPrint · 16/10/2011 10:04

Morning!

Well I loved that Kanye West vid Massive, nice to see/hear something different.

Agree RP, there were very weak performances last night, I wish they would give Sami something better to sing, she actually has a fantastic voice. I like the girl band and I like the scouse boy - even though his vocals were a bit off singing Rhianna.

Busy day of family stuff today so catch up later.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/10/2011 10:29

Morning all! . Small has alerted us to the fact that he is very handsome talented.

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 11:49

Can't see that hJ just at the moment as on phone. The colonel is playing with his new toy a kindle and the proper pooter at the mo so I'll remain in ignorance for a bit longer!!

He loves his cake and his card. Never heard him laugh so hard - little does he know you and ouR mAn are the inspiration!!! He-he-he!!! But he won't let me put a photo on FBSad. Maybe I'll try and put them on here!

Battery going!Smile

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 11:57

Morning everyone!

How are we all today? Hope everybody is happier today!

Dr Who exhibition was fab, though MissTwigs was so frightened during the interactive bit that she cried :( RP, yes, MissT and I met David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the summer hols! Well, not 'met' exactly. Had a 10-second encounter with would be more accurate. They were doing autographs and photos following a play they'd been in and we waited at the stage door so MissT could have her photo taken with them (pics are on Facebook). He was even more gorgeous in 3D :) Oh and I did LOL at your seaweed vid! :)

Small, that Teenage Dream video was lovely. Like Maud, I adore that song (Warblers CD is on my amazon wish list!) but the vid was fabulous. Can I remind you of it and direct you to one particular brief clip? It made me groan out loud, it's that appealing. Take a look at Oh man.

LadyD, you mentioned about sports results affecting LordD's mood. I can understand that (although he is naughty to take it out on others, I never ddi that!) When I was really into football, if my team lost it really affected my mood and I was in a grump for the whole weekend. It started to take over a bit (obsessive personality? Moi?) so I had to stop and now I couldn't care less. Very glad I got out when I did!

Was also interested in the conversation about children doing things for themselves (though this was forever ago now!) I did everything for MissTwigs when she was little, because it was so much quicker and easier, but when she got to school I realised how behind she was, because I'd done everything for her. So with TwigBoy I've been far more 'you can do it', as painful as it is to watch them spending 5 minutes trying to put a coat on :)

Think that's me all caught up!

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 12:00

Glad the Colonel loved his cake & card - boo hiss for not allowing ophotos though, the spoilsport :)

Nobody ever agrees with me about what people look like (not just here, I mean in RL too) so you won't agree but, looking at our FB photos, I think that The Colonel, Mr Small and DrTwigs look vaguely similar! (or maybe it's just the hair colour :o)

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 12:31

Ah now I know what HJ stands for - still not entirely sure who he is though - I'm so rubbish at famous people!! But yes, I can see his talents are to be appreciated somewhat!!Grin

It was the Colonel who was grumpy over sports results Twigs - he cheered up no end after I'd come on here and been grumpy about him!!! So shouldn't really complain!

Glad you enjoyed the exhibition Twigs - so Envy that you have been so close to DT! He's definitely on my list of secret crushes!! Oh that reminds me, did I tell you that a friend of mine told me her secret crush was Big Cook, from Big Cook, Little Cook!Shock Still can't get over that!!! Not as I've seen him and Little on a late night adult comedy show!Blush Maud you would not have approved!!!Grin

I'll have to stalk study the photos of our various men a bit closer now, Twigs! I suppose they should be some resemblance, since we are all actually in love with the same on-screen man! who's hair colour is entirely different to the Colonel's Hmm Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 12:37

Ah, sorry - I get these titled husbands mixed up :) Glad he cheered up later though.

A crush on Big Cook Ben?! Whoever heard of anything so ridiculous!!! HAHAHAHA!!! I certainly don't have a crush on him myself, how ludicrous... ahem... Blush p.s. Big Cook, Little Cook is not what DrTwigs calls it :o

::Rolls eye at such roodery on the Sabbath::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/10/2011 12:44

And as I have left Facebook ::will of iron emoticon:: I'll post a photo of The Bloke here for comparative purposes.

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 12:52

Maud, well done for leaving FB as I remember you saying you wanted to.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/10/2011 13:09

Yup. Look at me and my willpower.

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 13:32

LOL Maud!!Grin. Well done on leaving FB but have to say with my transient lifestyle it is the only way to keep in touch with everyone!

Still trying work out how to get JP's the colonel's cake picture up. Even if it will pale into insignificance to those masterpieces f ladyd and twigs!!Grin

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 14:33

Right I think I've added a picture of the cake with a side-profile of The Colonel. I'll leave it up for a few hours for you to see - let me know if you can't as I've only made it visible to my Mates and I'm not sure if that works or not!!Grin

I'd love to say the tanks, trees and soldiers were all made by sugar paste just so you know!! Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 15:59

Cake looks great, RP! Well done you!

SupermassiveLBD · 16/10/2011 16:34

Ooooh, thanks for letting us see the cake, RP. How clever you are. And thanks too for the small glimpse of the Colonel. So now we know what his chin looks like Grin

I am glad to hear you enjoyed the Dr Who Exhibition, Twigs. i was wondering if all went okay for you and hoped you weren't inconvenienced in any way by the anti-banker demos. What was MissTwigs frightened by, exactly? Monsters, or was it just too loud, generally? Not that i blame her, my impulse is still to watch Dr Who from behind the sofa.

I can't claim the credit for discovering the Amazing vid, Small. that was Spiro's find, -- maybe you were off on your sun, sea and sand break at the time - and ever since, that song (with accomanying visuals) has been going round and round my brain. His gritty voice seems to go so well with S3 dirrty Gizzy.

Ha, I am quite clear on the subject of the two HJs, I feel quite proud of myself for that. Smile

Wot cheer, ladies!

We were in the car just now and . The Girl - who thinks that anything to do with roodery is disgusting beyond belief a view we intend to inculcate until she is at least 37 - exclaimed "that song is just wroooong". I almost crashed the car.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/10/2011 16:44

Oh and brilliant cake, RussianPony.

::resigns herself to being Academy Duffer of Cakes::

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 17:06

You are all very kind with the compliments, but you can't really see it in that teeny tiny picture can you!! But yes that's his chin, end of his nose and one of his hands!!Grin

I can understand why he doesn't want it on FB as I'm friends with the wives of quite a few soldiers who he used to work with and I suppose he needs to keep a level of sensibility and seniority in their eyes - what I get up to in the eyes of the wives doesn't matter as rank is unimportant to us dependents!!Grin

Russianpony · 16/10/2011 17:07

ps Maud - is there something special about 37 and innocence that I need to know about?Hmm - The Colonel is 37 tomorrow! Do I need to be aware of anything in particular?!Grin

And I agree with The Girl - but those accompanying pictures are rather lovely!!Smile

DumSpiroSpero · 16/10/2011 17:46

I love that song, tbh - I think it's hilarious.

The video however - comical but just a teeny bit uuurrgh!

Great cake RP. Will catch up with everything else later as an just finishing dinner.

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 17:59

What was MissTwigs frightened by, exactly?

I'm not exactly sure! There was nothing jumping out and going BOO at you, not as scary as the show can be. I think it was maybe because she wasn't sure what was going to happen? It was quite dark and atmospheric and maybe it just seemed a bit too real for her. Mummy got her photo taken with 'Rory' though :)

PassTheTwiglets · 16/10/2011 18:01

Oh dear God, MissTwigs is trying to break a wine glass by singing. She is breaking our ears but no luck on the glass yet...

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/10/2011 19:26

::Hoists self up on zimmer frame::

No, RussianPony, it was just a number picked at random. And gosh, you and The Colonel are yoouung.

I have a gardening-related injury and need medical advice. Does anyone know a good doctor?

SupermassiveLBD · 16/10/2011 20:30

Do you need a nice strong arm to lean on, Maud? I hope it's nothing serious.
