to not trust my new(ish) boss because he reminds me of Mr Tumnus

[wholovesyou]

I know Mr Tumnus wasnt all bad, but I distincly remember thinking as a child, you didnt HAVE to betray the children now, did you! And I could never work out if he was fundamentally good, or evil.

My boss is just like him and I cant help thinking... Hmmm... are you good? Or bad? Can I trust you? Or not? [eyes narrow insuspicion]

Hes a bit shifty anyway. Perhaps its that!

Um... In what way does he look like Mr. Tumnus? Because if it's the goat legs, you are right to be concerned.

um yes YABU

Which Mr Tumnus does he look like? James MacAvoy is rather pleasing to the eyes.

I hadnt noticed hooves but it could be a trick. Just the kind of trick you'd expect from an evil Mr Tumnus!!!

Does he look like James McAvoy? If so, I'll come and do your job!

If he gets out pan pipes and starts to play them run............fast.

He doesnt. He looks more like the dude from the BBC adaptations I think. Or just how I imagined Mr Tumnus!

Mr Tumnus was good anyway, just afraid of the white witch. He helped Lucy eventually!

He also got to Aslan's country (which is basically heaven) when Narnia is destroyed, so he must be good.

Narnia geek alert

Lucy was scarier in the bbc one

Yeah. All that aside I still look at him and a red warning light goes off in my head.

Mr Tumnus is a good guy. He was just weak and scared. He ends up being the children's chief adviser and goes on to be an adviser to Caspian as well

Yabvu

He may be good--but does he report to a wolf?

But would you trust him as a boss!

wholovesyou, you are quite mad.

Mr Tumnus ended up really, really lovely in the end!

He isn't fundamentally good or evil. He represents the doubter in all of us. Easy to see as a 'Judas' type figure, but more realistically considering the eventual outcome, could also signify the apostle Paul, who worked against Christianity, and then became a committed Christian.

He ends up losing his life - albeit temporarily - in what is suggestive of a death and rebirth, or atonement.

God, I love Narnia. It's like a whole other Bible!

Oh, but no, I wouldn't trust him as a boss.

I wouldn't trust him as a boss he was creepy and he didn't wear trousers.

MY DP reminds me of Mr Tumnus. His legs are so hairy it's like he is wearing hair trousers.

I trust him, but he does get hot legs.

I read the title as Mr Tumble and thought too bloody right, there's no way I'd trust him...

See. Not. Mad.

I think its that good/evil quality I dont trust. He just seems a bit... I dunno... sneaky!

yes duplicitous chap - defo wouldn't trust Mr Tumble either boak.

is he fawning on you?

God no. I go for Bears. Not Fawns.

How could Tumnus have advised Caspian? Wasn't he like 1700 years dead by then?

My boss is quite a reserved person and it took me quite a long time to decide if I could trust him or not. But shifty is a different thing. We have another colleague we call Rat Boy as it's obvious from looking at him he's not to be trusted.

I think he'll be OK as a boss - but never go round to his place for tea.
