I'd meant to delete my not even a sentence about negative comments as it clicked about general Sleb twaddle. The p was not a sticky out tongue emoijo!

Construction Squad is due at 10am (FIL and DH's Uncle). I'm taking bets on when the first argument starts; DH and FIL work together but rarely does a day pass without a shouty row. One of them being away on holiday won't stand in the way of a falling out Hmm
I was going to crack a joke about my husband's New Erection but that is pretty lowbrow for this fine thread.

I'm wondering if Tay-Tay and Tim are caught in a good manners trap- both want to be the one to drop the other off as they are so nice and polite. They will be together forever and split up like, never.

Frayed can you not decamp to a nice cafe (with WiFi obviously so you can keep up with developments)?

I greatly enjoyed the article about the anti-social Clooneys causing resentment in the village. It's a bad day when Theresa May is voted more charming than George Shock I also loved it because I realised that next week I will be only a few miles away from their sumptuous estate. I will commence George Watch by Wednesday at the latest.

I've warmed to Tom after spotting a crease in the gre/ay shoes - wonder if he kept them on the whole flight?

I'm also really liking the jean/t-shirt/quilted jacket combo just because it may mean he really doesn't give a fig and Taylor finds it refreshing/freeing?? The majority of her life seems micro-managed & maybe when she tried to "dress" ToTo he said "I can't go for that, no-oooo, no can do".

I know nothing about CH, but his buff body (does he have an ab crack?) image looks exhausting.

And the best use of an ab crack? Roll Malteasers down it.Grin

Cocolepew · 09/07/2016 10:28

Morning Troops .
How come even when dressed in all black sports gear, TimTo still looks like hes been pressed to an inch of his life?
Do people really iron running shorts?
Also it looks like he had tucked his t-shirt in at first glance , but I dont think he has now. Im a bit disappointed he's not wearing an I ❤️ Aus vest tbh.

TheAntiBoop · 09/07/2016 10:29

Tom only seems to have one set of workout gear as well

The Australia DJ is even worse than the uk one! Not sure how that's even possible but the 'news' section is shocking!

FelicityGubbins · 09/07/2016 10:34

Good point about the politeness there frayed I wonder if it will all come screeching to a disgusted end if one of them accidentally farts in front of the other one..

FrayedHem · 09/07/2016 10:38

I would love to APlace not sure they would be impressed at me leaving the 4 DS with them. But tbh it's only the younger 2 that need supervising so yeah maybe I'll grab some me-time.Wink MIL is also joining us later. She is nice (Though always re-pegs my washing?!?) But definitely not a Tay-To person.
Some nice happy smiley photos of Tim dressed for jogging- he'd slipped on some trainers.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/07/2016 10:38

Awe Tom looks so happy on his run. Do you think he was listening to TayTay on his headphones? Not one of her songs, just her whispering in his ear: 'turn right at the corner that's where the paps are waiting, smile, stop to talk to a fan' 😀

SmellyFartado · 09/07/2016 10:54

ToTo/Tim looks delighted to be free at last....even if TayTay is whispering veiled threats through the earphones.

TayTay does seem mightily high maintenance with the sudden matchy matchy apparel and the limpet like way she has now followed him to Aus. It's like a one-night stand on a Saturday rocking up with you at work on Monday.

UnGoogleable · 09/07/2016 11:11

He looks like a sun tanned scrotum with wire wool for hair.

This has made my morning! I'm off out for actual errands, but I'll be back to recommence TimTam watch later.

I have the perfect excuse for idle Sleb watching, as I'm recovering from gynae surgery (thanks ovaries), hence my total immersion in MN as therapy Grin. I'll be the one slightly hunched over at the garden fence, ordering DH to hang the washing on the line for me.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/07/2016 11:12

It's like a one-night stand on a Saturday rocking up with you at work on Monday.
That made me Grin
I did wonder if it was actually just practical to be joined at the hip when you can (if you're a celeb) because you know you're going to spend half the year in different countries because of work.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 09/07/2016 11:43

And how exactly can TayTay's schedule suddenly be so clear she can drop everything and follow Tim around? It must be the true luv

About sleb twaddle - after the 1d threads there were loads of TAAT saying sleb twaddle should be removed and nearly all of the recent threads were deleted. These days I don't stray away from twaddle so
i have no idea whether MN has collectively taken exception to TayTimIsm, but I'd guess not, as no-one from chat or AIBU has come over to tell us we're all losers for posting about Taylor Swift.

Cocolepew · 09/07/2016 12:17

That's because we are doing a public service for them. We read the SBoS so they dont have too.
ToTim hasnt got the hang of exercising, he had more sweat on him walking past tbe paps at the airport.
Hope your recovery is going well UnGoogable Flowers

FrayedHem · 09/07/2016 12:26

I normally post in SN threads so don't know what happened with 1D, but have kicked around MN for long enough to know Sleb Twaddle isn't the most loved topic.

I reckon Tim was listening to a motivational self-affirmation podcast.

Donatellalymanmoss · 09/07/2016 12:26

Just taking a very short break from work.

Someone mentioned CH he also seems to own about 3 t-shirts. He does have a slightly more diverse range of trainers. I think TayTay appreciates the lack of threat to her space in the wardrobe. Either that or it helps with continuity during the photo opportunities.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/07/2016 12:50

Ssh! I don't want them to overhear us . . .but I don't think AIBU or Chat care about TayTo. It's like a fight club over there atm. It's always the same in the summer. I think posters get stressed about holiday childcare and come on MN to get all their frustration and aggression out. I usually take a break from MN in the summer because it's way too vicious for me.

Will we have a sweepstake on how long it takes before we get a Hemsworth / TayTo photo shoot? My money is on Wednesday.

UnGoogleable · 09/07/2016 12:51

Thank you Coco - TayTo is my therapy Grin

What happened with the 1D threads then? Did things get nasty?

I like how these threads aren't nasty - I think it's because TayTo are the gift that keeps on giving so we have no need to dredge up any nasty stuff to ridicule them over - they're doing it all by themselves.

(which reminds me of a horrible thing I saw this morning where some woman compared TayTay's vajayjay to a ham sandwich on Twitter. It wasn't pleasant)

Donatellalymanmoss · 09/07/2016 12:56

I didn't read the 1D threads but would assume it's related to the bonkers conspiracy theories about secret sexualities and fake babies that follow the band around. It's all very odd.

nicenewdusters · 09/07/2016 12:56

Short break, eh, Donatella ? That Phd isn't going to write itself you know. We need a Dr on the thread to add to our already amazing image, so I think we can allow a short break (is Cher following you on Twitter yet?)

I too didn't know about the 1D threads. They sound terrifying. I haven't done an advanced search because I'm worried my account might be closed down, and a car with dark windows might turn up at my house.

Frayed| your husband's new erection (there, I've gone smut-tastic for you !) sounds like a thread just waiting to go in Classics. You'll be sitting watching like the small Korean lady. My parents generally get along well but if they move furniture together it's carnage. If they installed a small building together she'd be LTB by the Monday.

Haven't seen the pics of Tim jogging yet, can't say I'm looking forward to them. But hey, research and all that.

Felicity - do you think TayTay farts in real life ? I suspect she's got an App to do that for her. Tim probably wears those huge white boxers so that the sound is muffled. I think you're right that their relationship wouldn't be able to withstand such an infringement.

nicenewdusters · 09/07/2016 13:02

Oooh that ham sandwich analogy has made me feel a bit sick.

Can I have 50p on the Hemsworth/TayTay photo sweepstake, for Monday evening. I reckon after the weekend they'll want to start the week with a bang.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/07/2016 13:14

Ok, I have 50p from dusters for Monday evening. Anybody want 50p on an intimate meal for the four of them and the paps on Sunday night?

Frayed I've just realised I don't know if your MIL actually does change the way your washing is pegged or if you were contributing to the backyard gossip theme of earlier in the thread Grin

Whentheshipgoesdown · 09/07/2016 13:33

Every single one of the 1D threads was deleted, I shit you not, some for bonkers fakebaby tinhatting, one because it got linked to by heat, and a couple because some prominent posters took exception to bantering about popstars and there was an enormous bunfight. I loved it all because I love conspiracy theories, boybands and bunfights, and to me speculating on whether Harry St*les is gay is no different from analysing ToTim's shoes or TayTay's control freakery. But most others on MN disagree with that!

For me, sleb twaddle is the one place these days you can have genuine fun and chat on MN. I love the fact ToTim was 'flaunting' his blotchy tan and can't quite work out what the DM is implying he did to get it - fall asleep with his iphone across his mouth? Have a disastrous chemical peel?

Donatellalymanmoss · 09/07/2016 13:35

I use a thing called a pomodoro timer so I work for 25 mins then have a 5 min break, so I'll probably just be posting at 25 min intervals!! Have just had lunch, thankfully not a ham sandwich, that will not something I'll be seeking out on Twitter.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 09/07/2016 13:38

Donatella there is a horrible misogynist twitter meme which compares various items to TayTay's vagina, which twitter keeps imagining I'd find funny. It's that kind of thing that gives bitching gossiping about celebrities a bad name.

Donatellalymanmoss · 09/07/2016 13:42

It's just misogynistic bullshit isn't it.

Do they not have enough material with her slightly random hair styles and thirst for publicity?
