Oh God, yes, the photoshot with Lydia Thing deffo plays havoc with my imagination/hormones/sanity - with myself in her place, of course.

Today is freelance-work day. Unable to think of any way can bring BC into lesson plan. Wild Cumbersurf session to get daily fix, as may break down in middle of session on How To Write Effective Research Plan and go cold turkey.

(Also hope that Local History group do not start asking me inane questions about batteries/fuseboxes/floor paint/electrical testing/home laundry, but this not as important as Lack Of BC).

Saw the ad for that insurance company last night with BC doing voiceover. Went to bed happy.

LetUsPrey · 18/05/2012 19:58

Italics fail.

That should obviously have been really really want to.

TheAddict · 18/05/2012 20:40

Good grief, Prey - don't we all?

Not a good week Chez Addict - lousy classes, appalling students, run out of gin, too much month for the money, and a distinct lack of BC turning up on the doorstep

Am considering becoming a nun.

Not really, Benedict!!

LetUsPrey · 18/05/2012 20:45

I would be a ... wait for it ... Benedictine nun badoomtish!

except for the nun part because they don't have sex and I want to have sex with BC

TheAddict · 18/05/2012 20:49

Dear Benedict

What has a disgraceful old baggage mature and well experienced older woman sexmad ultrafan girl got to do to attract your attention?

Clearly the subtle hints in my earlier letters have been overlooked.

Let us cut to the chase.

I need you in my bed/against the fridge/on the rug/behind the potting shed/in any other venue of your choice (delete as necessary, or chose any/all of these - I'm up for it) NOW.

Pantingly Yours

TheAddict

CaveMum · 18/05/2012 21:14

Grin @ both of you!

Just ready and waiting. No Benedict, don't get up, I'll join you on the chaise....

LetUsPrey · 18/05/2012 21:28

In this one BC looks like he's about to get up off the bed and she's not making much an effort to keep him there. Substitute myself in the picture instead of the model - not much difference to be honest hahahaha yeah right - and I'd be dragging him backwards on to the bed.

I think a bath could be interesting. One of those huge baths with seats in it. A bit like a jacuzzi without the bubbles. Hmm yes, definitely ....

TheAddict · 18/05/2012 21:42

Oh god, yes. Oh god...

TheAddict · 18/05/2012 21:55

Dear Benedict

Glancing through our correspondence, I realise that I may have missed an opportunity to proposition you not made myself entirely clear.

Shag me. NOW

Yesterday, I happened to mention that I had been asked for my advice on the best knots to use when tying you to the bedposts way to remove marker pen stains from a silk blouse.

However, I omitted to state that:

a) I am quite prepared to buy a raw silk blouse;
b) You are quite welcome to cover the front of said blouse with designs of your choice in any medium you wish, including marker pen;
c) I would be more than willing for you to then remove the blouse from my person oh god oh god yes purleeease
d) we could then get down to some serious shagging.

Yours in lust, hope, and a state of complete sexual frustration

TheAddict

PS: I am reliably informed that WD40 is the answer. I have no idea what the question may be.

LetUsPrey · 18/05/2012 23:06

Ahem

CaveMum · 18/05/2012 23:12

Bugger me! [faints]

I am utterly fascinated with his cupid's bow. Hmmmm, those lips look like they could work some magic... [drifts off in to a daydream]

exexpat · 18/05/2012 23:22

Lots of good new stuff on LornaSP's tumblr today. I particularly like this interview. Isn't he just so impossibly nice?

adjusts twin set and pearls, frowns disapprovingly at Addict, Prey and Cavemum leering in the corner

clicks on all the links and drifts off into improper thoughts

LetUsPrey · 18/05/2012 23:39

I want to bite his lips.

Fluffymonster · 19/05/2012 02:50

His Willy Wonka is lovely, but being offered 'some of his best Bono' sounds irresistable!

Sat here after one of the neighbour's bloody car alarm went off for nearly half an hr at 2am. Thank goodness for this thread!

LetUsPrey · 19/05/2012 09:18

Take you to a world of pure imagination Grin Benedict you have no idea.

Throw in the thought of BC singing a U2 song and you're on your way to perfection.

CaveMum · 19/05/2012 20:32

Admit it Prey, you posted this

Wink
CaveMum · 19/05/2012 20:35

The aforementioned trousers

LetUsPrey · 19/05/2012 20:41

No, CaveMum, but I did see it earlier, register on tumblr specifically to send a comment to WAYWB agreeing with the sentiment, saying I'm glad it wasn't just me who cannot resist staring glancing at his trouser area, and then spent some happy time googling the pictures and those ones of BC at the beach. Blush Grin

LetUsPrey · 19/05/2012 22:33

Another post from WAYWB. It's from a few months ago but the caption caught my eye. Grin

LetUsPrey · 19/05/2012 23:48

I've just been spending an enjoyable half an hour few minutes clicking on the links in this thread. I got to the one which I've seen quite a few times before, but when it got to the parts where he walks across the room and then away from the window, my stomach did that flippy-floppy thing which extended southwards! And as for the last couple of seconds?! Phwoaaaarrrr!! Night night Grin

TheAddict · 20/05/2012 08:44

Leaving aside any consideration of those jeans for the moment (most unlike TheAddict - do I need therapy?) he has the most adorable smile in these clips: enough on its own to reduce me to a quivering jelly...

And the 'getting off the sofa' at 0.35 always makes me think 'Oh bless...'

TheAddict returns to extreme scrutiny of the skin-tight jeans, or indeed to contemplation of this: young and beautiful

LetUsPrey · 20/05/2012 08:55

I shall have to watch the clip again to see what you're talking about TheAddict. I shall force myself Wink.

He does look gorgeous in that picture but the problem with pictures of him in his younger days is that I tend to think "aww how sweet" which is slightly worrying.

TheAddict · 20/05/2012 09:12

I have no guilt complexes whatsoever about thinking 'oh how sweet' or indeed of lusting over any photograph of him at any age post-adolescence!

LetUsPrey · 20/05/2012 09:13

BC being smiley and wearing jeans = tick.

Sherlock being smiley and wearing jeans (unless it's a disguise) = cross. So glad they changed that.
