Phwoaaar!!!

In a "MN made me do it" moment, today I bought Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James. it's supposed to be a bit steamy I'm only a few pages in.

The main male character is described like this (I've changed the American spellings - couldn't help it) "attractive, very attractive. He's tall, dressed in a fine grey suit, white shirt, and black tie with unruly dark copper-coloured hair and intense, bright grey eyes ..." He also has long fingers and a beautiful mouth.

Who's the first person that reminds you of?

I know who I've got in mind. I shall of course be imagining myself in the role of the female lead. Grin

Third Star will be on iPlayer even for those of us who don't live in Wales!

Sorry, in my excitement and having had too much coffee this morning I worded that rather weirdly and badly. I meant:

'Third Star will be on iPlayer, so even those of us who don't live in Wales can watch it!'

As you were.

Oh, hang on: <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=benedict+cumberbatch&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=FxV&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1216&bih=670&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnso&tbnid=h6HKltE2fpnjmM:&imgrefurl=www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3203737/Sherlock-Holmes-Benedict-Cumberbatch-helps-disaffected-teens.html&docid=XqCMpKVzbYEb9M&imgurl=img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01153/SPREAD-MAIN_1153979a.jpg&w=280&h=390&ei=JSyRT6L_KsfD0QWF5ITpAQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=3&sig=100905212096207828663&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=102&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:0,i:156&tx=66&ty=59" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slightly geeky.

Sherlock needs our help!

sherlockology.tumblr.com/post/21391704100/votesherlock4bafta-posters

There's a link on this page to vote for "Sherlock" for the BAFTA Audience prize... Seeing as "The Only Way Is Essex" beat them last year (God help us), vote here to get them this award! You have to be living in the UK to vote.

Keep Martin Freeman's face from doing this again:

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 11:20

I've already voted and sadly I think you can only vote once (unless you use multiple IDs and log in from different computers).

LetUsPrey · 20/04/2012 13:26

I have voted. He is just so .. so .. so .. phwoarrrr!

Read some more of my new book. There's a lot of mentions of "long fingers" and a "beautiful mouth".

Thanks for the pics by the way CaveMum! Smile

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/04/2012 13:35

Did no one like my pic?

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 14:06

[pats Clarice reassuringly on shoulder]

It's a very "cooorrrrr" [channels inner Sid James]. There is definitely a slightly, but very sexy, "air du nerd" about him Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/04/2012 14:18

Fanks!

Yes, it is quite a phhwwwooarrggh picture, isn't it?

LetUsPrey · 20/04/2012 16:18

My "so .. so .. phwoaaar" was in response to your pictures LadyClarice Smile

Did no one read my excerpt from Fifty Shades of Grey? He (main character) has been into a hardware shop and bought cable ties, masking tape and rope. I don't think he's doing home improvements to be honest with you. Put that together with the mental image of BC and you have much Blush and Grin.

TheAddict · 20/04/2012 20:06

Well, you always know how to cheer me up... after a few wet days in what was laughingly descibed as a caravan in the midst of rural Nowheresville-sur-le-SodAll, TheAddict returned to her office briefly today to discover that over the school holiday period her miserable excuse for an office had been decorated in a sickening shade of lemon and without prior warning... and all my photos of BC have disappeared Angry
Okay, so I only had them there to hide the holes in the plaster, honest Hmm (the holes are still there, just painted lemon - a class act, these painters ) and if my boss believes that he'll believe anything ... so TheAddict spent the afternoon in the reprographics department and probably blew the entire term's allocation printing out all the photos you kind MNers post links to...
Also discovered that this term I have to be More Creative.
Hmm - faints at thought of getting Creative (never mind More Creative) with the divine Mr C...

TheAddict · 20/04/2012 20:53

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

As you know, I have been long been prone to wild fantasies about your body an admirer of your incredibly sexy voice mouth hands arse thespian talents.

I regard you as the finest piece of male crumpet I have ever seen eminently shaggable a doyen of the creative arts, and would be most grateful if you would shag me senseless cover me in whipped cream before having your wicked way with me have your wicked way with me and never mind the whipped cream let me have my wicked way with you with or without the sodding cream an amazingly creative actor and would welcome being shagged senseless by you your help in fulfilling some exceedingly filthy ideas I have the unreasonable requests of my boss though you can be as unreasonable as you like with me providing we eventually get round to a damn good shag

My problem is that I need to get more creative and I can think of many ways in which I could get creative with you including tearing your shirt off and tying you to the bedposts in my wildest dreams Adult Literacy lessons.

I am sure that you could assist me in this oh boy oh boy never mind the Adult Learners, let's just get down to it

Lest you doubt my stamina credentials, let me asssure you that I have a 38" bust, bum-length hair and a walk-in stationary cupboard, lockable from the inside. I am also a qualified First Aider (I say this to reassure you in case I get a bit too rough)

Awaiting your reply with little whimpering cries breathless anticipation and I sure as hell fancy the idea of you being the cause of said breathlessness

TheAddict

PS Monday suit you? Don't forget to cancel the milk as what I have in mind may take some considerable time.

PPS You will no doubt be pleased to know that I have now conquered my fromer obsession with apricot jam.

LetUsPrey · 20/04/2012 21:18

TheAddict your letters make me larf. I think mine would be more to the point.

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

I read in an interview that you describe yourself as "a fucking fantastic lover".

Please understand that I do not doubt the veracity of your statement. However, I do require proof. Therefore, please contact me as a matter of some urgency to make arrangements for us to meet.

Yours
LetUsPrey xxx

Or

Benedict

Come round and shag me now. A lot.

LetUsPrey xxx

Smophette · 20/04/2012 21:55

Smophette · 20/04/2012 22:03

Smophette · 20/04/2012 22:05

LetUsPrey · 20/04/2012 22:13

Just looked at all those links.

Fuck me indeed. Grin

Smophette · 20/04/2012 22:19

Grin Grin Grin well there's my Friday night fantasies sorted

TheAddict · 20/04/2012 22:21

Well fuck me rigid (NB: if you're reading this, BC, that's a hint - I'm getting deperate here) - isn't he just so adorable in that bed??

Don't you just want to...well, I do, anyway!

CaveMum · 21/04/2012 08:43

Now those are some very good links Grin

[goes for a cold shower]

[imagines shower with BC]

[faints with lust]

LetUsPrey · 21/04/2012 12:20

See on the one hand I think of BC as a fantastically talented actor who is (in my opinion) an extremely lovely person with menny menny excellent qualities.

On the other hand there's a part of me that looks at him and drools with lust and stares at his crotch

TheAddict · 21/04/2012 12:49

You're not the only one, Prey...

Grin
LetUsPrey · 21/04/2012 20:04

Those hands .......

LetUsPrey · 21/04/2012 20:07

I can imagine I'm in this picture with him because I have dark hair in a similar style Grin [saddo]
