Hello lovelies!

Hope the title meets with everyone's approval.

I have just one thing to say at the moment, a propos of the John Finnemore thing in the last thread: 'pub kitten'? 'pub kitten'?!!? Just how cute does that sound?

Well hellloooo Grin

I'm sort of back but still a bit bleuuurrrggghhh. Hopefully, the stressful start to the year in our house and families is over for January and things will settle. However, if the rest of 2013 is going to be like this, I'd just like to fast forward to 2014 - pausing for a few days in May to watch Star Trek.

The recent links have been lush Grin

Listened to Vaduz and Wokingham yesterday and today. Both brilliant!

On a saucier note, had an interesting snippet of a dream this morning. BC was there, so was I. I was kneeling down. It was very vivid. Grin

Lady Clarice, no, that link is free. Someone recorded it off the radio, so you have a bit of talking before and after the actual play. The audio is a tad quiet (I listened to it while driving to work today, having put it on my phone, but had to drive with the speaker next to my ear, I am SO lucky I didn't get pulled over -- Germany has a strict hands-free mobile-in-car use policy...).

You can sign up and pay to avoid ads, but they don't bother me and I'm the world's biggest cheapskate. Free Batch files make up for it. I posted a link on 13 Jan. to a Tumblr post where you can find all kinds of audio files, including ringtones. (Not vouching for the legality of any of it, so click at your own risk.)

Prey, glad to see you're back among the living. That dream sounds....nice. I assume at least one of you got some follicles...stimulated?

If your January went anywhere as fast as mine did, May will be here before you know it. Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 03/02/2013 14:01

Thanks, GreenCard.

Welcome back, Prey!

Frankelly, oooooh just imagine bumping into that as you strolled innocently down some Hampstead pavement ...

New Trailer

"I am better"
"At what?"
"Everything"

No. Shit.

I'd like the chance to put him to the test all the same. Y'know, for research Wink

MrsAceRimmer · 04/02/2013 10:43

Aww I was going to selflessly volunteer to put his claim to the test Wink, but Frankel got there first!
HmmGrin

LetUsPrey · 04/02/2013 19:46

I think you'll find, going back historically through the threads, there's a rota system in place Grin

I think it all stemmed from the interview where he said "I'm a fucking fantastic lover"

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 04/02/2013 19:53

Either that Prey, or 2.10 and 2.17 into Grin

LetUsPrey · 04/02/2013 20:01

Without clicking on the link, is that "Money or sex?" "Mmmmm, sex" and "Good cop, bad cop?" "Bad cop"?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 04/02/2013 20:02

You know me too well Prey Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/02/2013 20:48

Please tell me, Frankel, that you don't have those times memorized. Because if you do, I bow to your superiority!

And I'd like to reserve my place in line to test his theory that's be better at everything. I know it snakes around the corner, but I'm patient.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 04/02/2013 20:53

Sadly no, I had to watch it again to get the times Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/02/2013 20:57

FFS

FFS Part II

And this was just too cute not to share

megcleary · 04/02/2013 20:58

Does this link work?

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/02/2013 21:13

Yup!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/02/2013 21:13

Frankel, you know what you have for homework now, don't you? Grin Tough assignment...

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 04/02/2013 21:34

Sums it up I think Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 05/02/2013 19:53

For my birthday I received a gift certificate to Amazon ("for hours of Cumberbatch-able fun" read the card, my friend knows me well) so I bought a copy of "Fortysomething" and TTEE. The latter hasn't arrived yet, so this morning I started with Fortysomething. He's SO YOUNG in the role! And I caught myself yellin at the TV, "How the hell can you f* his brother when you could have Benedict, you moron!!" Good thing no one else was home at the time.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 05/02/2013 21:08

My god, what I wouldn't do to be on the receiving end of one of these smiles...

TinkerTailorSoldierSahm · 05/02/2013 21:09

Dropping into say hi! Love Benedict but am a Tom Hardy girl at heart but big fan of the Cumberbatch.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 05/02/2013 21:12

Nice to see you, Tinker!

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 05/02/2013 21:19

Stay a while Tinker, we may convert you Wink
