Continuing the one about Carol, Dick and the “ free “ holiday .

[Oldbutstillgotit]

Carol has replied to Anne saying she is shocked that Anne would cancel her flight after promising it. Anne has told her that she gave her no option .
Both Barbara and I have messaged Carol saying that she has behaved badly and should apologise to Anne.

I think they leave today? If so, Bon Voyage!

And don't forget to cast Juanita the maid & Hector the gardener

Ooh! A vote here for Tom Conti in "Shirley Valentine" mode for Hector.

Philip Glenister has sold me.

Closing shot: Dick and Carol are seen arriving at the airport, flustered, filthy, dishevelled and running, the delays and problems have made them miss the return flight. CUT TO The 3 ladies clink glasses of fizz on the return plane. Replete and happy after an amazing holiday of sun, romance, dancing, and best of all friendship.

MsMarvellous just read yours and I seem to have something in my eyes. - they’re watering a bit.

Hope all is settled now and you all have a fantastic holiday!

Have a fabulous holiday Old.

Old but have a great holiday.

Why have I now got visions of the 3 of you knotting yourselves laughing reading this thread by the pool.

EileenAlanna Tempted as I was by the offer of Ms Streep's assistant, as a fellow self-haircutter in the past with a very sharp pair of scissors, I'm happy to do hair and make up. We can use your blunt scissors on Carol and Dick

Making a note for Oscar seating plan - StC needs to be prioritised - had a bit of a rough ride at early storyboarding stages.
Btw as self appointed travelling casting fixer please could we involve brad Pitt, Catherine Deneuve, judi dench, and maybe some others so I can meet them - oh being dickish again. ???

Thank you thank you thank you!

I might even get a nomination for "Best Mum Bob in a Supporting Role" [dreams of glittery frock and rehearses acceptance speech]. Or I could remember my place and be backstage ready to primp Ms Streep...

This is the all time best thread there has ever been on MN . West End Musical in the making

Does anyone else picture Donald Trump as Dick? Loving the cast and crew. Fab movie this will be!

And to Anne and her trusty sidekicks I hope you have an amazing time away!

No, I just want to know what they are up to in their holidays and that both Carol and Dick had gone quiet.

Here I am again ! Highlighted , waxed , painted and ( almost) packed !
Happy to say that there has been no further contact from Carol and no more phone calls to villa owner ( Harriet ). The only slight concern is that Eddie was in the golf club last night and someone asked Dick if he was looking forward to his holiday and he said yes ! Eddie thinks he is probably trying to save face , will lie low for a week then slap on the fake tan a la Trump !
Loving the idea of a film and some of the suggestions for actors are scarily accurate . Here’s mine ;
Anne - Meryl Streep
Barbara - Celia Imrie
Carol - Juliane Moore
Dick - Steve Coogan playing Alan Patridge with Del Boy bling . He wears red or mustard trousers as someone suggested .
Me ( Fanny) - Felicity Kendall
Gerry - George Clooney ( not really but that was his suggestion when I told him about this )
Harriet - Joanna Lumley ( definitely )
Ivor - Harriet’s DP - Trevor Eve
Jose ( new character - he is the chef who Barbara and I have arranged to come to the villa on the first night to cook a meal )
You are all wonderful - thank you 💐

So glad all is good!

@Oldbutstillgotit Bon Voyage & have an amazing time away

Ooh hope you all have a fabulous time!
