I love this shot from yesterday.

LetUsPrey · 07/07/2012 22:42

Ooh yes NeedsAGreenCard I like that too.

A shot from a recording of Cabin Pressure. Put Cabin Pressure on in the car today for me DS1. Listened to Ipswich, Gdansk and Ottery St Mary. I was laughing, DS1 was giggling, DS2 fell asleep (but he's exempt because he's only 5). DH barely cracked a smile. Miserable sod.

Interested in this thread?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 08/07/2012 12:12

Still love him though, obviously but posh boys really can't dress, can they

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/07/2012 13:37

YEEAARRRGGGHHHH...DS1 and DH are out and DS2 just woke early while I'm trying to listen to . And since he's almost 3, he will. not. shut. up.

DS2, Lesson number one for today is....Do Not Interrupt The Batch.

delurks I saw Look Back in Anger, was incredible, he was almost out of his seat several times, did crying, anger, love, tenderness. Didn't need anything more, rest of cast were good, but he was in another league.

And so bloody gorgeous too, even better in real life.

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2012 20:55

Envy x a lot.

I won't even attempt to explain why I think he's such a brilliant actor, but he definitely has "it".

And as far him being "bloody gorgeous, even better in real life"

VoidofDiscovery · 08/07/2012 21:14
Grin

He has 'it' in spades.

I swear we made eye contact on a few occasions he may not have been able to see anything with the lights though

Have fuzzy pic from afterwards

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/07/2012 21:41

Prey, am so jealous. Want to find a legal copy of Cabin Pressure as an MP3 (at our house we have a moratorium on buying actual CDs), but neither the UK nor the German Amazon site offers it. Pooh. May have to break down and order the "hard copy", but the local site says 1-3 weeks before it's even ready to ship.

And thanks for that link. Had to click on it while I was alone, lest I give myself away to DH...

Void, jealous. Oh, so jealous. And fuzzy pics are WAY better than no pics at all. Welcome aboard!

VoidofDiscovery · 08/07/2012 21:58

Thanks GreenCard, have you tried this site? www.audiogo.com/uk/catalogsearch/result/index/?author=9834&cat=&q=cabin+pressure&gclid=CK2hqOP7irECFWJItAodVly98w

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2012 22:05

Took me a while to work out why you were jealous of me there for a bit NeedsAGreenCard, but I scrolled back and realised it was because I'd been listening to Cabin Pressure! I got my episodes of Cabin Pressure off www.audiogo.com/uk but I'm not sure whether it would work for you. These are the terms and conditions.

VoidofDiscovery - I'd definitely stick with thinking there was eye contact. I'm partway to convincing myself there was eye contact between me and BC (?BC and I? - I'm never sure) when I went to watch Frankenstein, and that was in the cinema!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/07/2012 22:35

Prey, as a former German language and EFL teacher, I can assure you it's "between BC and me". "BC and I" would work only as the subject of a sentence, not as a direct object or indirect object.

Thanks for the link, will try that tomorrow while trying to keep my sanity. DS2 is turning three (when did that happen?!) and we have a mess of people coming over...and they have forecast rain. Lots of rain. GAH.

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2012 22:46

I need some kind of cheat sheet for the whole I/me thing. I mean, my sentence construction sometimes isn't the best, but I like to get basic grammar, punctuation and spelling spot on, or try to at least Grin.

Happy birthday for DS2 tomorrow!

I have had DS1 trying to put ideas to me by quoting the role play thing from the Ipswich episode of Cabin Pressure. "Hey chief...". He's even got DS2 saying it, although he just likes the part when he can make the noise of a plane crashing into a mountain.

I'm supposed to be sewing the sleeve on DS1' school sweatshirt, instead of which I've just been trawling through various Tumblr sites looking at pictures of BC. Blush

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2012 22:47

As I was saying, I like to get punctuation spot on. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to type or read. DS1's school sweatshirt.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/07/2012 22:55

No worries, it's late. (Or it is at least here.) And the link worked!! Hallelujah! Happy Dance time! Now I know how I'm going to deal with the drive to work this week. I'm especially excited about Ep. 2, seeing as my hometown is their destination. :) (And I know just where I'd take him to get him madly drunk on cheap but potent cocktails...)

Thanks for the birthday wishes. DS2 now walks around saying "Love you too" without me having said anything right before. It's so cute. Almost makes up for the extra stretch marks and internal mangling I got from bearing him. (He was 3 weeks early and over 4 kgs at birth.) I love him to pieces but he is definitely the reason I told my doctor, "I ain't doing this sh*t again." Well, perhaps I wasn't that vulgar, but something along those lines.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/07/2012 22:58

Prey, the cheat is quite simple. Just remove the other partyfrom your sentence and ask yourself if "I" or "me" would sound right.

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2012 23:51

Thanks NeedsaGreenCard.

The obvious first move is to brush away the stray lock of hair...

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/07/2012 10:38

"Brush away" the hair? How about grab and pull? Meow.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/07/2012 10:44

It is screaming for me someone to run their hands through it, pull it back to join the rest of his hair, and hold on Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/07/2012 14:17

MERCY!!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/07/2012 15:59

I love the commentary, particularly 'This has been placed TOP on my list of Wank Banks.' Grin

Anyone got that pic of him in A Scandal ... when he's on the floor being whipped and teased by Irene Adler? That's the best sex face I've seen yet, but sadly Google Images is failing me at the mo.

LetUsPrey · 09/07/2012 18:47

Is this the sort if thing you meant LadyClarice?

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/07/2012 21:12

Oh my. I think it's the mouth slowly opening that does me in.

I needed that after this afternoon. Seven children at DS2's birthday party. Thankfully the rain held off until we sat down to eat (we stayed dry). One 2-year-old, 2 three-year-olds and three five-year olds, ALL BOYS. And no one was injured. I think that deserves a treat.

And because I'm so generous, I'm going to share with all of you. :D
