Grin Smophette, although they do need to play by the rules. DS2 loves playing it. I also play it when I'm on my own.

Ready for Parade's End tonight everyone?

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 31/08/2012 22:01

After tonight's episode, I now have Aretha Franklin's "Respect" running through my head, although it has an ENTIRELY different meaning. I'll respect Christopher. Really. -melt-

FrankelSaysRelax · 31/08/2012 22:15

It was very good, as expected Grin

Sylvia is amazing - as is her wardrobe. I wanted to bang their heads together!

I'd respect him like he's never been respected before Grin.

A wonderful slow-motion train-wreck. I loved every minute of it. (And thank god for the internet, as I was able to watch "live" with you over in the UK. DH was out running, so I could salivate in peace.) Marveled at Valentine's naiveté about how babies are made (or not...R.E.S.P.E.C.T...). She and Christopher were so cute at the fire. Got all hot-and-bothered during the trailer when he more or less commanded Valentine to be his lover. (Go girl, you know you want to!!)

Cannot. Wait. For. Next. Friday.

Goddammit, am I really going to be reading THREE books silmutaneously? I have the new Jasper Fforde on my phone, the latest Stephen King on the bedstand, and am now hunting around for a copy of this. When the hell am I going to read it all???

LetUsPrey · 31/08/2012 22:56

There's a new Jasper Fforde?!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 31/08/2012 23:06

"The Woman Who Died A Lot". I think it came out two weeks ago. Damn Amazon's One-Click function. Way too easy.

FrankelSaysRelax · 01/09/2012 09:45

You'll Grin Grin Grin @ this Prey:

On my "Threads I'm On" preview, all I got of your 22.16 post was:
"Sylvia is amazing - as is her wardrobe. I wanted to bang the"

I fully expected the rest of the sentence to say "hell out of BC" Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 01/09/2012 11:55

Frankel,

HAHA! But seriously, something tells me it's not just a viewing of PE that would evoke that response... :D

LetUsPrey · 01/09/2012 12:30

GrinGrin The sentiment is always there!

Think I'll see if my local library has got the new Jasper Fforde, although I currently have nine books in my reading pile.

Did you watch his face when Sylvia told him that his mother had died? Amazing.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 01/09/2012 20:30

Drool....

FrankelSaysRelax · 01/09/2012 22:08

Lovely review of Patades End Ep2 from Cumberbatchweb.

LetUsPrey · 02/09/2012 12:35

SOUNDS THE CUMBERKLAXON

Creation is on BBC4 tonight at 9pm and also on Friday at 12.55am.

Read the episode guide thing for PE in the Radio Times. This Friday's sounds even more amazing than the first two!

FrankelSaysRelax · 02/09/2012 13:15

Ooo, I'll set the recorder!

Of course the next PE will be great - it contains the swoon-line "Will you be my mistress tonight?"

[faints with lust at the very thought]

FrankelSaysRelax · 02/09/2012 13:16

swoon-some line.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 02/09/2012 20:11

The German culture channel einsfestival is currently showing The Great Game.

Good lord, some things were just not meant to be dubbed. It it weren't for The Purple Shirt of Sex (which already had its fifteen minutes).... -sigh-

LetUsPrey · 02/09/2012 21:53

Looking forward to Friday's episode.

Anyone else? Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 03/09/2012 14:37

Daily Heil alert, sorry:

BC and another model 'story'

I'm sure all this is bollocks. Famous and/or pretty people get invited to things all the time. Anyone who is currently 'hot' and known or suspected to be single will almost inevitably be 'paired off' with someone the journalist thinks looks good with them and/or will create news.

I hope, otherwise it's a bit bloody boring and predictable isn't it, Cumberbatch?

SeashellsAllezModInYellowAllez · 03/09/2012 15:27

Saw this doing the rounds...though somewhere (I can't remember where) said she was a law student or something.

Obviously the secret trysts we have have failed to make the press yet

Btw still loving parades end, though I may be in the minority here...

FrankelSaysRelax · 03/09/2012 17:57

Not a minority Seashells, it's fabulous Grin

LetUsPrey · 03/09/2012 18:05

Re the Katia story Cumberbuddy puts it very well, and with pictures. I am plotting a way in which to get my photo taken with BC. Because I'm so often mistaken for a model.

Also very much enjoying Parade's End!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 03/09/2012 20:58

This about sums it up for me with all this model talk.

LetUsPrey · 03/09/2012 23:59

Know exactly where you're coming from NeedsAGreenCard Grin

FrankelSaysRelax · 04/09/2012 21:20

BC at tonight's Anna Karenina premiere

megcleary · 04/09/2012 21:23

Oh Frankel thank you that made me gasp aloud.
