Richard Armitage in Spooks

[cupcakesandbunting]

I definitely would.

Maybe twice.

Arggh, sorry, cross posted. Thanks for the new link Flowers

Oh my golly gosh, Flowers, you shouldn't have done that to me of a Sunday lunchtime. A cruise missile detonated under the kitchen table and the brussel sprouts are in orbit

So how was it for you? No real BBT ,eh, just a mere whiff a couple of times.

And now I have to act normal all afternoon. Gah...

Sorry, theresaholeinyourmind, I thought it might bring joy to your afternoon.

How was it for me? Well, as I have said many times before, my heart truly belongs to Mr Thornton, who does Angry Passion and wears a cravat with such panache. But I do understand that the worldweariness and sardonic expression which comes with having lived an eventful life for 850 years might have a certain, ahem, effect on a laydee.

And would you really send him to the naughty step for saying knickers? I rather got the impression that some people around here wanted him to say beg fetch rather more than that.

Don't apologise, Flowers, it was a very nice cruise missile. It's just difficult to stop my knees wobbling as I go about my lawful Sunday afternoon business, that's all.

First time in my life I've felt envious of a horse. Gah.

Do have some buttered crumpet too...

Crumpet? Is that supposed to be a double entendre?

Moi? Jamais!
I thought it was a traditional northern delicacy, best partaken of hot.

Well, in that case I'll have a crumpet [you need to put the little circumflex hats around each word you want to italicise] that's hot, juicy and dripping with honey and molten butter. Thank you.

I'm a little Mrs Beeton, here, Flowers, as in ''first find your circumflex hats''

Little gift for John's library here, meanwhile.

Hotpot for tea then, is it?

Ah, dear dear Isabella Beeton. She's my kinda girl. The ^ is on the 6 key.

So, plenty of time for reading the Quality Press then? Seems to me that the recommendation to ladies to seek out a man "who flirts with them but is not in their control" is only likely to add to Guy's legion of swooning inamoratas.

Blimey...you disappear for two days and things heat up! Lobster swans in, claims him and vanishes, and I've got a month worth of clips to get through.
Anyway, fellow culture vultures, had a fabulous dream last night and, hate to break it to you, but he chose ME!

I cannot believe that all these weeks of lusting cultural debate have not resulted in a single saucy dream in the North household. Clearly a case of 'must try harder'!

Ah but which he, 4DT? That is the question?

Meanwhile here is one of mine...

Here's another lush one for you, theresaholeinyourmind.

Well, think it was the "real" he. I think we were both in a sort of army type programme. It was complicated but lovely!!

Belated thanks for that treat, Flowers. No prizes for guessing what he would have been saying, had there been speech balloons, the cad....

I did fear my own bliaut was a bit too Medieval Rose Princess Barbie, but I thought the chain mail was a big improvement on the baked bean tins. Your plate armour was straight from Armani.

I have been having a very nice break from chores, watching Spooks 7. I would be enjoying it even without the, ahem, decorative elements. I always wanted to be a spy. Question for all you Lucas experts. Is season 8 worth sending for?

40 DT, even boot camp sounds okay, under such circumstances. Way to go!

Bliaut. Well there's an addition to my vocabulary. I always said this thread was deeply educational. Here's another example of designer armour, with the promise of a little courtly love action too.

40deniertights - I think you may be the only one laying claim to his soldierly persona. By the left quick march!

We're going out for some half-term fun, but will be back home in plenty of time for Spooks. I think, theresaholeinyourmind, Season 8 is worth sending for because, as you say, even without the aesthetic pleasures, they are ripping (if sometimes preposterous) yarns.

There's also a fair bit of shagging!

Thank goodness there are so many different personas (personae?) to go around. Is there one per poster?

Series 8 has Ros being fabulous as well (I'm realy missing her now, even thoug I couldn't stand her in previous serieses.) Her pissed off "FFS" when she got splattered in gore from the shot bloke was probably the best bit in S8.

Season 8 duly ordered. Did anyone think I wouldn't?

On the subject of dvd's has anyone seen 'Sparkhouse' and is it worth a watch?

Only on Youtube, Mrs LN. I was going to ask what else, myself, after Spooks 8
40deniertights, it would be greedy to take two, I suppose. If only human.

Have just done a search for scenes of 'Sparkhouse' on YouTube that's the one where he has the v. dodgy hair - not sure even I can bring myself to watch that!
