Get those catwalk pics in here quick!

Hi Prey, is this what you were talking about? If so, you no longer need to covet that. Happy Monday.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 06/08/2012 14:37

Good god, I need to get off the Tumblr.

Prey - the only answer to the question 'How long did that woman stop for?' is 'Too bloody long.' I think it was about three weeks - it felt longer and I'd had enough after about five minutes. In the end it was her own son who told her to go home. Nuff said.

GreenCard - ace tumblr card. Have saved it to harddrive and forwarded it to future SiL.

Lack of BS on doorstep - or indeed anywhere else - last night. I blame the Post Office.

Thanks for that GreenCard. I can't believe I sat at my mum's staring at his picture with a soppy smile on my face.

What am I talking about? I can totally believe it Grin.

Addict - you're a better woman than I am. Closest comparison I can think of is my MIL. I actually really like my MIL, she's a very lovely person. One of the nicest people you could meet. There is no way I'd be able to have her stay with me for a couple of days, never mind three weeks!

A selection of clips from the Olympic programme. Agree with the Tumblr blogger re his little smile on the last clip Grin.

LetUsPrey · 06/08/2012 23:20

The actual video of this is on YouTube somewhere but this from Oh crumpets, I've been Cumberbatched is lush.

And from the same Tumblr I'll be off to bed now Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 07/08/2012 09:06

Oh, he was fab in The Children's Monologues!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 07/08/2012 11:16

Parade's End business: new pics and, if this article is to be believed, an air date!

Yay

Fluffymonster · 07/08/2012 15:10

Yay, at last! Lovely pics, funny seeing him with chipmunk cheeks, even though it's in character.

Nice to see the stalwarts are still here!

I have a bit of a side question - what's the latest on Phoenix, the film with Liv Tyler that BC is/was signed up to? I thought he was supposed to be filming it in late spring yet not seen a mention anywhere. What's happened, anyone heard anything?

FrankelSaysRelax · 07/08/2012 18:20

I think it's been shelved fluffy. There has been nothing heard since the cast announcement and BC has been off filming other stuff in the meantime.

FrankelSaysRelax · 07/08/2012 22:15

Haven't had a chance to check out all of those links GreenCard, but will do tomorrow.

In the meantime, I give you this

Night all!

LetUsPrey · 07/08/2012 22:55

Squeeeee for filming starting next year (hopefully)!

That Cabin Pressure meets Sherlock was brilliant!

Brace yourself Grin

Wish there was sound with this

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 08/08/2012 10:30

Thanks for all that, GreenCard!

I can offer this on Parade's End.

Rebecca Hall ? MAJOR girl-crush.

Fluffymonster · 08/08/2012 15:33

Thanks for a bit of enlightenment re Pheonix Frankel - shame, I was really looking forward to that, the most! Hope it gets taken off the shelf at some point...

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 08/08/2012 16:28

Benedict and brilliant Sherlock co-star Louise Brealey are to appear at Cheltenham Literary Festival in October!

The actual festival website seems to be hosed (possibly because of the Benedict news) but here's another link: Yay!

LetUsPrey · 08/08/2012 21:57

It's DS1's 11th birthday in October. Hey, family, let's go to the Cheltenham Festival as a special treat for DS1. Nope.

Anyway, this deserves reposting. Oh yeah. Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/08/2012 22:26

Good lord, Prey, give a girl some warning!! I opened that link with DH standing behind me. Had to think up a good excuse to explain away the gasp that escaped me.

Doesn't Mum get a present for popping out the kid and going through pregnancy and labour??

Thigh stroking. Yes.

(wipes drool from chin)

FrankelSaysRelax · 08/08/2012 22:31

Have you infiltrated WAYWB Prey???

The latest post seems tailor made for you Wink

LetUsPrey · 08/08/2012 22:44

Never click on links whilst DH/DP is anywhere in the vicinity, or always be prepared to curtail any gasps Grin

Frankel that's the fingerporn isn't it? I saw that earlier and "needed a moment". I love WAYWB so much Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/08/2012 22:58

What's the one of him in a lab coat from? I think I can place almost all the others...

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/08/2012 09:33

That one of him putting the tape in the deck ...

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/08/2012 19:33

I know Cumberbuddy has this listed as natural beauty (which is still is), but he looks tired. His eyes look awfully bloodshot (something I recognize from those lovely all-nighters my kids made me deal with when they were nursing).

Poor Benedict. I'd be happy to offer him a cozy bed , but then again, I wouldn't actually let him rest then...

LetUsPrey · 09/08/2012 20:20

Definitely wouldn't get any rest with me eitherGrin

In a continuation from the fingerporn, I have just trawled through two old BCAS threads (it was difficult but I was doing it for the group) to find this link. Obviously the one on the right is familiar, but I don't think the one on the left gets anywhere near enough exposure.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/08/2012 20:41

With hands/fingers like that, it is completely beyond me that he never learned to play the piano. Seriously.

I am sure, however, that he knows how to play other parts of the female anatomy things.

Those are naughty, naughty thoughts coursing through my brain. (fans self)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/08/2012 21:16

Not really BC-related, but....

Just saw this from a friend over on FB. Is that Andrew Scott at 1:16 on the left?

And there is no way Patrick Stewart could pass for a street guy. With those teeth? He's messing with the American stereotype about Brits.
