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?

Holy balls.

Makes me wonder if Lego Benedict (John Harrison) will beat up on Lego Martin (Bilbo Baggins). Oh, how wonderful it is to have boys!!! Now I can legitimately buy these for me them and then I get to play with them!

I think there's room for two of us on that sofa LetUsPrey!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/02/2013 21:07

The only way to make this gif set better, would be to have the shirt wet and Benedict coming out of a lake. (Yes, I've been watching THAT scene out of Pride & Prejudice)

Now...which one of you had the lip fetish again?

And let's not forget The BBC's Silly Name Competition

Last but not least, I'd be happy to reattach those buttons...later.

Neither Nick Hoult nor Colin Firth get me hot under the collar at all. I might have a tiny new Ben W crush coming on though ...

Wow, that's weird to say. I am famous in my house anyway for not liking or getting him. Grin

Enjoyed those Benedict lip shots. He has the most beautiful bottom lip. I love his lips in that Frankenstein's creature shot too.But this remains my favourite lips shot (and cheekbones and eyes): Yum

Also, that last link ? that top shot is gorgeous. Looks completely unguarded and natural. Messy hair, beautiful hand ...

The lip shots are gorgeous.

The best ones (of his lips) are from Study in Pink when he's sat in the lab with cabby

(That's a swoon for the lips, not the cabby BTW!)

LetUsPrey · 11/02/2013 22:58

Those lips - biteable and then lickable Grin

Ohhhhhhhh

MrsAceRimmer · 11/02/2013 23:47

That one does funny things to my insides Prey

There's a picture of BC on the BBC News homepage Grin it's advertising an article about blokes called Benedict (tenuous link to the Pope's resignation).

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/02/2013 15:21

Direct link to Frankel's article.

Very tenuous indeed. Grin

'I even spotted him on the street not long ago, and only just resisted the urge to attempt a spot of Benedict-on-Benedict bonding.'

Bastard!

I admire anyone who can shoe-horn BC into an article Grin

Yes, fair point. Crap picture though, considering all the yummy ones there are to choose from.

This one, for example

Or this

Ring a ding ding

Sorry, got a bit carried away. Any excuse ...

Bloody hell LadyClarice! That third photo just made me say 'Dear God!' out loud. I'm standing at a bus stop, glad there's no one next to me!

You're welcome! We've had it before, but it is rather ? well ? ring a ding ding Grin.

Ring a ding ding - I love it! Very Leslie Phillips, fits perfectly

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 13/02/2013 18:11

Don't forget that tonight is the last episode in ths series of Cabin Pressure Sad

I do hope my suspicions are wrong........

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/02/2013 18:59

AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!! WTF WAS THAT?! (Spoiler-free frustration about CP)

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 13/02/2013 19:00

Noooooooo! Damn you John Finnemore!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/02/2013 19:05

Holding out hope for a Christmas episode. Except that Christmas is more than 10 months away. AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 13/02/2013 19:11

I'm glad my fears turned out to be wrong though

MrsAceRimmer · 13/02/2013 19:36

Noooo! Cliffhanger or what!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 14/02/2013 20:48

Happy V-Day, all. And I'm not sorry. Not one bit.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 14/02/2013 22:09

Funniest. Thing. Ever

Better than Otter-batch Grin

LetUsPrey · 14/02/2013 22:56

Is it the cats one? I wanted to link to it but I was on the Tumblr app and couldn't figure out how to do a link on my new iPad Grin

BC on my iPad - we're very happy together!
