Right, I've taken the plunge!

Get those catwalk pics in here quick!

Right, it's late, I'm bored and up too late and mildly delirious and I'm going to say it.

You know when there's a particularly hot pic/vid of Benedict and everyone (not just on this thread, whichever part of the internet-verse you're on) says 'oooooh my ovaries/uterus' etc?

It's not really them you, ah, feel it in, surely?

It's more the sortofyouknow clit area.

Right?

FrankelSaysRelax · 31/07/2012 06:26

It's more the concern about Martin Freeman. As the main character they're bound to need him back for additional filming, which could have a knock on effect on Sherlock.

As for your other post Clarice, I'm saying nothing Wink

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 31/07/2012 07:43

I must admit that I enjoyed LotR. I mean, I assume that Viggo Mortensen probably smelled like a goat at the end of each day, but he was a damn fine goat. I normally don't go in for guys who drip testosterone (and have long, stringy hair), but I did make an exception for Aragorn.

Frankel, I read through the press release, but there was nothing explicit (or was there?) about them deciding to do extra filming. It is possible that they just filmed everything and decided against heavy editing. I'm trying to think positive here. And even if they did need to do more filming, don't the Sherlock people film at the beginning of the year? I have no clue about filming schedules (which is bad, considering I'm writing a story which includes some of that), but I'm sure they'll be able to work around it. Otherwise, we'll just have to bide our time like we did when Mad Men had their issues, meaning that instead of waiting a year for the new season, we had to wait a year and a half. :(

Lady Clarice...Oh dear, yes. But with me it's tummy butterflies that yield a more-or-less direct zap to the tingly lady parts.

Dear god, help me get through this week. Both kids are home from their respective day places and almost all of their friends are travelling. How bad is it that it's not even 9 am and I'm already eyeing the liquor cabinet?

Interested in this thread?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 31/07/2012 10:38

Well, thanks for the partial agreement, ladies Grin. It's just something that bugs me a little bit every time I read an 'ooo my ovaries' type post.

GreenCard, God yes, I don't really fancy Viggo but as Aragorn ... ding dong.

On Sherlock, they've already said they'll start filming in January, although I don't know if the Hobbit yawnfest news will change that.

VoidofDiscovery · 31/07/2012 16:40

Lady Clarice absolutely agree. I feel there may be a lack of understanding as to the precise location of their ovaries, hence the case Wink. My reaction does tend to be lower down/total body really but that may be my age...

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 31/07/2012 19:29

Just in case you haven't seen this article yet. Love what he has to say about our erogenous zones.

I think I just exploded in two places at once.

It would have been nice if the author had spelled "worried" properly. But I'll cut him some slack because they picked a great picture to go with it.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/08/2012 09:36

I'm sure that's it, Void. Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 01/08/2012 15:13

I can't get this where I am, so I only feel minimal guilt for watching it on YouTube.

Am feeling NO guilt (but a whole lot of tingling in my lady parts) especially starting at 1:46. And 4:40. And 8:28. And dammit, now I'm craving one of those candy necklaces.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 02/08/2012 12:46

Oh. My. Stars. And. Garters.

This.

The tongue-on-breasts one (no. 4) is...WOW. I need a cold shower. Or to go sit in a bath full of ice.

FrankelSaysRelax · 03/08/2012 18:18

We are quiet these days, when are you back Prey???

WAYWB is on fine form, as always. Just utterly gorgeous

LetUsPrey · 03/08/2012 19:18

Found some free wifi finally and bloody hell I have missed MN! Bit sad but I don't care Grin

Haven't had time to look at any links but just wanted to say I'm still here and I'm back tomorrow so I'll be on the laptop and will get a megadose of BC!

FrankelSaysRelax · 03/08/2012 22:31

BC is obsessed with all things horsey

We're a match made in heaven, I tell you Grin

LetUsPrey · 04/08/2012 20:02

I'm back. Did you miss me? (Please say yes)

Had a quick read back. LadyClarice - the whole "ovaries" thing puzzles me a bit too. Any physical feelings prompted by BC - and they happen on a frequent basis - start in my lower stomach and head south. Grin

I'll have a proper catch up tomorrow if DH goes out with the DC and I get some time to myself Grin

FrankelSaysRelax · 04/08/2012 20:31

Of course we missed you Prey. Enjoy the catch up!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/08/2012 22:47

Hi Prey, good to see you back!

OK, now I know I'm pathetic, but I see this and all I can think is, this is him peeking out from underneath my duvet. YOWZA.

I believe they are currently processing my application for my Green Card, and I may be able to take up permanent residence soon.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 05/08/2012 13:03

Thanks, Prey! To be fair, I can kind of understand it from the 'I want Benedict's babies' brigade, although I'm not one of them I'm only interested in the shagging.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 05/08/2012 14:12

For some Sunday afternoon levity...

FrankelSaysRelax · 05/08/2012 16:54
Grin

Love that!

LetUsPrey · 05/08/2012 17:06

As well as the hills and mountains of Scotland being stunningly beautiful, they do also sometimes interfere with reception on the car radio. In those instances it was of course necessary to listen to episodes of Cabin Pressure Grin. We got through all of series one and the first two of series two. Smile

TheAddict · 05/08/2012 19:35

Darling Benedict

Sweetheart: I need your body advice body.

Sod it, what are you doing tonight for the next week for the foreseeable future?

The good news is that I have a totally Addictlets-less house.

Primus and SO have gone home - taking Minimus with them for some Work Experience ( hopefully this will include the little niceties in life, such as washing, getting out of bed and turning up to work - not to mention Communicating Other Than In Grunts.)

SO's mother has finally Gone Home - threatening never to set foot inside my house again - this can only be a Good Thing.

Secundus and Tertius have gone camping - a phrase which, in this house, as you are aware, has one of several different meanings.

OH - or rather ex-OH - is still at his mother's.

The problem is that, since I last lusted over your body, Secundus and Tertius have attempted to set me up on a series of blind dates, all of which have been totally disasterous.

Mainly because (a) there is a paucity of even vaguely interesting men in this area (b) none of them match up to you.

Let me cut to the chase.

(i) I have an empty house;
(ii) I have two unopened bottles of champagne, a box of scented candles, a black basque which is - to be honest - going to waste, and - need I emphasise this again? - the house to myself;
(iii) I fancy you something rotten;
(iv) I also have an exceedingly vivid imagination. Just in case you run out of ideas.

How about it?

Just give me half an hour to squeeze myself into the basque.

Lustingly yours

The Addict

PS: Key under the tortoise.

FrankelSaysRelax · 05/08/2012 22:01

Hello Addict, nice to see you again.

For my fellow Matt Smith admirers Grin

LetUsPrey · 05/08/2012 22:07

Love that Tumblr blog Frankel! Have followed it.

Bloody hell Addict, how long did SO's mother stay for?

I think BC is still in New Orleans, although I'm probably wrong. Just in case he is - Benedict, I have a passport and I'm not afraid to use it Grin.

FrankelSaysRelax · 05/08/2012 22:17

Cumberbatchweb suggested that some people on Twitter thought they saw BC in the Olymoic Park over the weekend. No photographic evidence though!

LetUsPrey · 05/08/2012 22:23

Just remembered a moment of "that's a bit sad LetUsPrey" today. At my mother's and I was flicking through the Olympic Radio Times magazine and got to the page where there's a teeny picture of BC where he's quoted re watching the equestrian events. I lingered on that page longer than was reasonable - to other people - and smiled to myself whilst reading the quote several times.

Almost as sad as coming up with an ulterior motive to ask her to save the issue of RT for me which had BC on the a little while back Grin.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 06/08/2012 13:49

Does anyone know when this picture was taken? Because he looks like he's 16 in it. (What exactly is the age of consent in the UK, anyway?? Not that it matters now...)
