Mil Millington - what kind of grown up does that to their hair?

[morningpaper]

I mean it's REALLY red

It's terrible

What is he THINKING?

I do have some patience for the mumbly northern charm thing.

Also, your DP knows how to fix bikes. It's very butch of him.

no-one cares about AdmiralLapin

He is in the kitchen right now making lemon ice cream. He also makes exceedingly attractive children.

VPL we do we do

but when you post a picture of G Clooney and say he looks like him we are all going to ostracise you, this is life

hmm lemon ice cream not v. butch

I can live with that

Does he make semifreddo? Or proper ice cream? With a machine? Or the stirring?

Gah, I made semi-freddo when we had that dinner party, and frightened the mad Irish woman who made her ex-boyf cook us tea, but it was Mexican food. I mean, come on. Irish Mexican food?!?! It was nice enough, but the refried beans were from a tin! My freezer is full of refried beans!

phwooar real men make puddings!

Also he is a sailor, NQC - does that do it for you?

MP no

I was trying to point out that as well as being a mumbling butch Northerner with ear hair, he is also in touch with his feminine side

if I use anymore on this thread I think I may break it

...uniforms and stuff...saluting...

real men make spotted dick

they don't faff with sorbet

Ice cream with a machine and stirring

lots of stirring and grating tonight

Ah, my father was a firefighter, butch jobs don't do it for me.

I generally, actually, personally, tend to date (relatively) femme men. I am butch enough for two, tbh. Lots of vegetarian exes.

WendyWeber, who is a sailor?

I want brown bread ice cream, I will have to make it. Actually, I saw a recipe for brown bread semi freddo, should probably make that instead, less work.

M. Lapin is, isn't he? Or did I make that up?

You live in Portsmouth and know lots of sailors so he must be one, godammit!

Oh THAT'S why LL used a naval term at me the other day

I thought she was just being a bit giddy

Oh right. Yes, he is! Hence "Admiral Lapin" (I have promoted him slightly as he was a little too low-ranking for a Viscountess).

He does look bloody lovely in uniform. Especially mess kit, with those short jacket... nice arse, phwoar...

WW, are you a changeur de nom?

Dp was going to join the navy but he met and moved in with me, instead

he completely aced the test

Ohhhh, chortle, sorry, the Admiral bit passed me right by.

(It's Janh )

Top man Mr F&Z!

We are Navy-tastic. We live in quarters, DH's family are Navy, my sister is too... so apols if the odd bit of slang slips in. Don't be threaders

OH hi Jan!

I have emailed you. Well, I am about to. Any minute now. Just need to ask you a quick Q
