Can I just point out for all you natimbo fans that she had a rumoured affair with Liam fox and even of that isn't true she is best buds with him apparently

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 21:11

I've never seen cara speak

What was wrong with her neck and her impossibly large forehead? And who was the mini dude sitting next to her?

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 21:15

And - last thought on Natto Imbo - if she can live off Torn, Johnny English and some albums I've never heard of by her and her ex (not that I am the arbiter of pop culture) then why can't Tim afford more shoes after Thor?

Will have to save up Cara for train journey to work as no conceivable way I can play it in public without a lot of explanation!

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 21:17

And boop i just realised you said Liam Fox and my brain just couldn't process it. If that's true that's better than Lembo Opik and CheekyOne and the undoubtedly untrue Tinie Tempah and Chukka Umunna.

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 21:19

It's totally true that they are buds but it's just rumour about the relationship

And let's not start on the rumours around fox!!!

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 21:30

Mini dude is James Franco's brother. Watch for a, ahem, fuller explanation.

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 21:34

I'm getting old because he just looks like a little boy to me

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 21:39

BTW, I would just like to "thank" you lot for my total lack of productivity over the last couple of weeks.

I got lost in Tumblr. I followed relevant Instagram accounts (then quickly unfollowed when I realised my family could see). I even (and this is just between you and me) read Timmy fan fiction.

I feel dirty.

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 21:41

You and me both AntiBoop

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 21:43

There is Tim fanfic?

This makes me feel sane and balanced. You can probably find fanfic for anyone if you try hard enough. Tucker and big Roland? Gazza and Terry Butcher? Liam Gallagher and Damon Albarn?

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 21:48

Oh yes. There is a whole world out there of real person fanfic. I even (in passing, I DID NOT CLICK) see Ant and Dec fanfic. This was the point I realised I'd fallen down the rabbit hole.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 21:50

Ant and Dec?

Oh that truly is wrong. Now that is what I am going to see when I shut my eyes.

raisedbyguineapigs · 29/07/2016 21:53

I love real people fanfic! Honestly some of it is more entertaining than some of the crap novels I've read on holiday! If only some people didn't spend their time obsessed with celebs (ahem!) and that weird shipping business, they could be celebs themselvesGrin

raisedbyguineapigs · 29/07/2016 21:55

I'd forgotten about the Nat/Liam story! That girl must know some tricks!

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 21:56

I'm sorry shippy. I did not mean to cause nightmares.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 21:58

I've never done fanfic. But I could be drawn in by, say, an alternative to This Life + 10 where Anna and Miles live together with their 6 ginger children or am I thinking of Anne and Gilbert Blythe?

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 22:05

Oh god, I'm going to regret this, but I was off work last week (summer hols) and instead of utilising my time off to catch up on something worthwhile, I spent 3 days reading timmy fanfic. Some of it was rather good. [disclaimer: I used to read a lot but small children/life has robbed me of this pleasure. My bar has possibly reset itself a bit lower].

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 22:07

shippy, if it doesn't already exist, you could write it.

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 22:10

I read something interesting today about how dialogue in films has decreased and this is apparently due to appealing to China

Eg the new Star Trek film has a gay couple but when dubbed into Chinese it's just two good friends. The dialogue and action is apparently such that it can be made ambiguous

That's just sooooo cynical. Although I'm not surprised.

Thought I might try and raise the debate level and detract from thoughts of antndec fanfic (dies a bit inside at the horror)

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 29/07/2016 22:11

Grin Love you lot. Had the worst Friday, pop on here to see what's what and we have Imbo doing hand jobs, Cara busting rhymes and Sinitta being strangled by Pitta Brad.
Outstanding work all round. Take a bow twaddlers Flowers
Why do some men paw at faces, cup chins and basically do a snog'n'grab? Do they think it's romantic?
Fan fic Came across (not literally, that would be very wrong) JD and Dr Cox fan fic once. Never slept again.

AntiBoop, I'd heard something similar. That a lot of big movies are being financed by China, and this is influencing the content.

Maybe a good time to mention that all this TayTo exposure gave me the impetus to look at Timmy's back catalogue. Just watched and was rather impressed by our wee Timster.

CarlGrimesMissingEye · 29/07/2016 22:21

Tim is also in the new Kong film.

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 22:27

Has no one yet posted the San Diego ComicCon ?

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 22:30

No TayTay questions but declared that he had not 'interacted' with a Pokemon. And that he probably sounded like everyone's grandpa. Made me love him just a little bit.

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 22:35

He looks less like her dad in the latest dinner date photos

I'm not sure about the faux modesty thing - he carries it off better than BC though
