Get well soon Maud!

Lion King sounds good. I must admit I was a bit underwhelmed by the DVD - think I just had overly high expectations. Would love to see the stage show of it though, but saving up for 'Matilda' first (£57 a ticket )!

I saw The Lion King stage show a while back - was distinctly underwhelmed, tbh, and we left during the interval. Though I wasn't feeling at all well at the time and that may be why we left, I forget.

My friend works (worked?) on The Now Show.

DrTwigs is a huuuuug fan of ISIHAC, though for some reason it bothers me that he actually calls it "Izzyhack" :) He is a Radio 4 geek.

So, Spooks finale tonight then ladies! Waaaaaahhhh! I'm staying away from the other thread 'cos of spoilers but does it bother anybody else that Erin calls Dimitri "Dee"? Hasn't she just met him?!

And isn't 'Dee' a bit girly?

TBH Erin irritates me full stop - no disrespect to the actress who plays her she's just written that way!

I've not been on the spooks thread for a whole now as people stopped speculating and started discussing spoilers! I want to see for myself when Lucas comes back to save the world cos he is I just know it - I refuse to believe it's all ending tonight

I don't think they're really spoilers, Vampy, they're more like lunatic implausible fantasies designed to avoid reality, such as all the dead Spooks being resurrected for a grand finale song and dance number! Anyway, I'm going to miss it tonight as we are having another Cultural Experience, so I'll avoid the thread just in case it mentions that Harry dies and I sob.

I have never seen the Lion King in any format but (based on the posters on the tube) think I would like the stage show. I would also like to take The Girl to see the stage version of Matilda and I guess we'll all be going to see Robin Hood.

I changed my mind about the Confessions site and posted there.

Or did I?

I am making a mojito cake. That is all.

Do I detect a teensy weensy bit of stress in Casa Twiggy?

Bring some cake to the post-spooks son party later twigs!

Maud I knew you went on submitted too that confessions site!.

Off for some bracing fresh air!! Would RAther be curled up infront the fire!!

No Maud, I just like cake :) It's a recipe I saw on an FB site and I love a mojito so wanted to try this for ages. I can see that by my saying "that is all" it sounded like I was stressed ie. I need alcohol, even in cake form, but all I really meant was "and I have nothing else of interest to add".

Dieting easy during the week but am struggilng to do it at weekends and Friday counts as weekend so better eat all the cake in one go so as to start afresh tomorrow :)

Gah dieting!! I must must!!!! Can't do up my newly washed jeans today!

I obviously meant sob party later - not son!!

Twigs where's the recipe? Sounds intriguing!! and I'll take alcohol in any and all forms!!

What is this dieting of which you speak?

::Breaks floorboard::

LOL at breaks floorboard :)

Nokito cake recipe for Vampy

.

Can you tell I'm finding it hard to focus on the ironing?

That sounds gorgeous twigs!!! Maybe I'll try this week and ply my siblings and parents surreptitiously and get what I want from the castle without any arguments!!! MwhaaaaaahAaaa!!!

Having just scoffed two huge slices of almond cake, unlike you, Maud, I do know whereof you all speak. Fiddle-de -dee. Tomorrow is another day.

Never mind my boys crying at Disney films, I cry at them. I can't even think of Bambi without welling up.

So Spooks finishes tonite. Even I have heard some whispers, but nothing to excite us, I don't think. I shall look forward to hearing all about it later on.

I have never had a moose loose aboot this hoose. Mum used to get fieldmice in. they were adorable. But then I wasn't the one who had to chase them out with the shovel.

I do, Menacing, at some metaphysical level have some concept of what a diet is, I simply have no experience of one. Hence the broken floorboards.

It's a lovely afternoon here. The sun is shining and .

::wonders whether it's too late for the sprouts to be sent into orbit::

Where did I get Nokito from?! It was, of course, Mojito.

I just assumed it was brought to us by a well-known mobile telephony provider, Twigs!

Thanks maud!! I shall use that as my theme tune!!

I too just assumed that mohito change in to nikoto by virtue of BTSKS!

About to catch up with last week's Downton abbey!!

Menace hello. How's operation declutter going? I can feel the tense atmosphere that sorting through 40 years of clutter is causing here! Tackling my room tomorrow. Shouldn't be too bad as I've had a go before - wishing I had some help in the form of PSM to distract me though. The colonel is going to be really ruthless on me I can tell! wish it was LCUWHTCW instead

Well that was lovely but it's amazing how dated the animation looks now.

I love Mr Blue Sky as a song and, of course, I adore Lucas but they don't work together for me. I think there are missed opportunities and the pics don't seem to tie in with the lyrics at all very well.

I agree it's a very odd vid, but the visuals are appealing for those who like Prada-clad spy boys with existential angst and homicidal tendencies, the song reminds me of my yoof and (most importantly of all) it was an opportunity for yet another bad joke.

::::

Yup, pretty pics, indeed. Lucas can look so ethereal, can't he? it was cruel of them to do what they did to him.

Thanks for asking, Twigs, but operation de-clutter has been at a standstill this weekend.

MrM: YOU DON'T MEAN TO SAY YOU'RE THROWING THAT OUT???

Poor you menace. Sounds like my ma and pa!!. I almost wish that the colonel was slightly less ruthless - of we haven't used/seen something for 6-12 months out it goes![. I know he's being sensible but you need some nostalgia!!

Which reminds me - we should have the next academy 60/70 music party here - you should see what gems my parents have cooped up on vinyl!
