I'm also off as I can Mr S on the move and if I watch much more of this I'm going to be too wound up to sleep.

Night all!

SupermassiveLBD · 08/10/2011 23:50

::Looks bcak at you::

I know, my dear. It is one of those seminal resources that I have on speed-dial. We remarked a long time ago that he has a very saucy way with an apple. But if you will excuse me, I must go to bed. I do hope your friend will keep you entertained while you have no 'puter to play with.

Oh yes indeedy, I luurves a nice bit of apple sauce.

I have no idea whether Gizzy plays chess, or not, but as I don't, the question is moot. I shall just have to think of some other game to play with him.

Bitey knighty.

::Looks back for positively the last time, having been distracted by other goodies found on YT::

I don't play chess either (can't even tell the pieces apart) but I once had a Gentleman Caller who offered to teach me and then mentioned the Thomas Crown Affair with rather a saucy look in his eye. Perhaps Gizzy would offer you a tutorial?

SupermassiveLBD · 09/10/2011 00:10

I shall ask him, then. It might make a nice change from the sword-polishing.

Nighty night.

Massive I didn't say goodbyeSad before I went off comms last night. Hope you're back with us soon and a chess-whizz!! Wink

I flaked again at 9.30Blush. Didn't even see end of x factor! Obviously over-stimulating my bRAin studying too hard!! nothing to do with copious amounts of fresh air yesterday!

TheSmallPrint · 09/10/2011 07:50

Oh I see, everyone came out of the woodwork once I went to bed Hmm

Spiro I watched a bit of that film but found it quite upsetting, I switched off as I knew I would end up watching the whole thing and not sleeping.

Russianpony · 09/10/2011 08:28

Sorry I just disappeared small!! How did x factor end? It was you watching it with me wasn't it?Confused. My memory is so bad at the moment!!! Is there a results show this evening??Confused

Confused. Think I need a Brew

TheSmallPrint · 09/10/2011 09:03

It was quite good RP, Kitty weirdo was last she was not bad. Results tonight and each judge has to kick someone out of their respective groups.

Russianpony · 09/10/2011 09:11

None of them are really standing out this year so far! But I'm still watching!!Grin. Some definite characters in there! Particularly Louis' group!! Probably why soldier boy comes over as not much character as he's comparatively normal!!Grin

LadyDamerel · 09/10/2011 10:42

Why oh why do the males of the species feel it necessary to shout and cheer and clap whilst watching sport on their own, in their own sitting room?

Humph.

I bet Ideal Richard never does that.

Russianpony · 09/10/2011 10:58

Pretend friends lady D? The Colonel is the same - v Sad at the rugby result yesterday so he's trawling his blood line for a welsh link?!Hmm

PassTheTwiglets · 09/10/2011 11:01

Morning, all. Massive, I hope you are back soon, we will miss you!!

Spiro, I have actually been going to bed really late most nights, just not MNing then. As for X Factor or Strictly - Strictly! But MissTwigs is soooooooo annoying when we watch it - she dances around throughout and then when the judges are giving their verdict she pretends they're talking to her and I never get to hear any of it! I watched X Factor the year Will Young won but we haven't watched it since.

Maud, yes, we could all encourage each other with the not-eating-constantly thing. At only 10 grapes for 1 WW point then I'm out with those though :) I hate the gym too but it worked really well when I did it before. Spiro, yaaaay on losing 2lbs, very well done! I am starting again tomorrow - seems I am either dieting or pigging out and I'd love to get to a stage where I could just Eat Normally!

I looked up Ceroc classes and there are some near us but not on a night when mum is here to babysit :( I know it says you can go on your own but ooooooooh no, too scary.

DumSpiroSpero · 09/10/2011 12:23

The way today is shaping up so far I'll be hitting the comfort food and putting that 2lb back.on with interest in the next few hours.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 09/10/2011 12:36

Does DrTwigs ever dance, Twiggy? Is he in any way musical? Can he count to 4 and hold a short sequence in his head? Because in my experience with The Bloke I have heard from a friend of a friend that taking along a man who is a genius in other areas but (with the best will in the world) just cannot remember the steps may be a source of tooth-grinding frustration. Then again, part of the reason for going is to learn how to dance together as a couple. Can you not find a local babysitter or another mum at school with whom you could trade free babysitting?

What ails thee, Spiro?

As it's Sunday lunchtime, here's a little food parcel for Massive, which she can devour open when she's back.

TheSmallPrint · 09/10/2011 13:21

You OK Spiro?

My soup has just exploded in the microwave Sad now I'm going to have to make something else for lunch. It was really nice soup too.

Russianpony · 09/10/2011 13:39

I'm not ok today either. Hit the dairy milk I found in the fridge!! Sad. Where's perfect Richard when you need him?!Confused

Good advice Maud there. If the man doesn't want to dance you'll probably have more fun without him!Smile

I'm in for a mass self-control on the eating front!!Grin

Love massive's food parcel - do you think she'd mind if I had a quick unwrap first???! Probably!! I'll leave well alone!!Grin

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 09/10/2011 13:46

It wasn't about whether he wanted to dance, RussianPony, It was about his ability to distinguish between his left and right foot. This is why I love Strictly - I can imagine what it would be like to be whisked around the dance floor by someone capable of more than dad-dancing. !

In fact, I think I might need to go and lie down for a while.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 09/10/2011 13:48

TheSmallPrint · 09/10/2011 13:54

hee hee I was about to link you back to Matt Baker from last year, he really does have snake hips.

TheSmallPrint · 09/10/2011 13:58

and I'll enjoy until I see a certain someone else do it..
