The One and Only TEA Room: Everyone Welcome (bring champagne and muffins please!)

[Jacksmama]

Wow, we're on our third thread!!!
Previous (second) incarnation of the tea room.

A warm welcome to everyone, whether you have one child, none, or ten. This is a tea-and-muffin or booze-and-sofasorcanapees sanctuary for all. But certain standards of behaviour continue to apply - anyone engaging in fisticuffs will be ejected by George Clooney, ably assisted by Mellors the Gardener.

Cheers all!

CMot - clearly in dh's good books at the moment

she sounds great cmot - what a smasher!

x x x - right I am going to really try and stop that, hun!

I have a friend who often huns me in e-mails... "nmer for sure!" I smile at myself everytime she does it!!!!

cmot - your GMIL sounds fab and is reminding me v. much of mine who sadly passed away last March at 89. She was without a doubt my fave in-law, and having lost my grans as kid (and never had grandads) she was really special to me, so I know where you're coming from.

My last grandparent (gm) died about 2 yrs ago aged 103.... she'd been nursing in a nursing home until she was 80!!!

I'm not sure your ga would think much of me as I'm normally a no-make-up person....

Update:

Bocca - Judi Dench
Cmot - Elle McPherson
Racingsnake - Emma Thompson
Tea - Debbie Harry
Mistlethrush - Andie McDowell
Womblingfree - Reece Witherspoon
Mellors - Himself
Unspecified love interest - Hugh Jackman

Aagh! You're all obviously such babes.

Wombling - This is the movie of tea room life, so we will need to write a part for your love interest. At the moment, the only man regualrly seen here is Mellors but I am sure it would be beneficial for him to have a rival male buddy for moral support.

When I had my c-section, I asked the anaesthetist whether I could have a bit of lipsuction at the same time. The poor lamb took me seriously and started waffling on about ethics and consent.

Let's raise a glass to Mistlethrush's grandma.

Mr Jackman has 2 kids - perhaps I should find his website and send him a link to Dadsnet?!

I am soooo not a babe just dreaming (maybe 14 years ago there would have been a passing resemblance) - these days would be more like Kathy Burke!

erm, can I just be in teh background in this movie. i'll lug some lights about or somthing , maybe i could be best boy or grip.
Hi amber, you Ok behind there? cool, Ill pass over some twiglets then, you can keep that bowl, theres another on the table.

Looking at that picture I think prefer mellors with his clothes on. each to their own tho. I had thought he was a bit younger and had curly hair...I'm pants on actrs names tho so can;t think of who should lay him. sorry, play him in teh movie.

Chocfudge cake on table. I need to make one in RL tomorow . Do you think my dad will like a double layer of fudge brownie sandwiched and iced with fudge frosting decorated with chocolate stars? Boy seems to think he will. mind you boy is also telling grandad that he ( boy) will blow out teh candles.

Hmmm. I've just prodded SignorBocca about which actress should play me. He suggested Celia Imrie or Cherie Lunghi. I protested that, although good-looking women, they are not babes. He then said that it was about their great acting ability.

I wanted him to say Juliet Stevenson. Or Melissa Thingummy from CSI New York.

Is it just me unable to get past an image of Kathy Burke dressed up as a womble mumsnetting at an internet cafe?

Ohh - will have to get Photoshopping on that one teafortwo.

So after teh jailbreak.... what happened, was there mild peril and a soaked to teh skin mellors while you made your way over teh snow covered moors on earl grey to the safe haven of teh tea room?

But unis - too late I have already booked this actress to play you...

Best boy/girl and grip - UniS

UniS - The choc fudge cake is gorgeous. Cake and twiglets is my idea of a varied diet. Can you explain what a best boy actually does?

The magic of the tea room is that we are all as beautiful, cool, confident and generally lovely as we choose to be. And, likewise, Mellors looks different to different people. Those photos show what I see when I look at him, but others may see him differently. Like this, perhaps.

She promises to look like she did in La Strada and has been in two months intensive unicycle training!!!!!

Look at how lovely she is....

Oh do let her stay!

in my dreams T42.... Rufus sewell for mellors tho, I could buy that, he loks cute.

I neeed to depart teh tea room for eth night, so night all. Play nicely. see you tomorrow.
UniS

UniS - You know, I can't work out the chronology. Mellors has been here almost from the start of the tea room. The garden was very overgrown and the children wanted to go out to play, so we had to hire a gardener. Earl Grey came very recently. Until the tack room (which started life as My Little Pony) opened, we were the newest thread. Somehow in all the equestrian excitement of that night, we acquired a horse and now Mellors has made a lovely stable for him.

Can someone help me out with the history of the jailbreak?

I've found this picture of Mellors... Mellors

I've found this picture of Mellors... Mellors

oh yeah - I forgot about that jailbreak!

Well, unis what happened was - daisy went to jail for something to do with Bocca's sportscar and I with Mellors help had to climb up to the window of the jailhouse to free her!

She brought Mr Bojangles back from jail with her but when Mellors started dancing the ladies swoooned and Mr Bojangles seemed to slip sadly away to the same place the wonderful nannies went to! I am not entirely sure where to but suppose, like on Eastenders when people leave, it was probably somewhere exotic and afar like Manchester!

Oh, T42, you do so make me laugh darling... it was YOU who went to jail for driving Bocca's car when under the influence and we had to bust you out... I love the way you seek to hide your, ahem, form under my respectable and blue stockinged skirts

Earl Grey came to the Tea Room while I was on hols (skiing, Racing, so lots of fun ) I can't help on his background, therefore

but we have Mellor, who Bocca keeps trying to pretend is Danial Craig. we have a cardboard cut out of George Clooney who someone [stern glance at Mellors] tried to deface with pencil.

We have non-checked shirt wearing Canadians - and we did find JM a lovely actress, but I can't remember who she was...

I was going to be Renne Russo, but then wondered if I should be Kristen Scott Thomas, but over the past few weeks, I feel that she is a little cold for me... I would prefer to be Renne....

We have a RacingPig and two pigeons and some plants (aspidestra and peace lillies) and a craft fair, twinkly lights, an aga, a haha, a fire, oh, this is wonderful

Pass the Bolly!

By the way, Wombling, welcome, don't you sometimes chip in as a 10/10er too?

Very about grandparents (in an envy way not an "I don't like the smell of that prawn" way)

Go CMOT Granny!

I do believe Rene Russo would suit Daisy perfectly. I was going to be played by Sandrine Kiberlain but on reflection, I believe Kim Raver suits me better. (DH agrees, for what that's worth.)

I took Jackbaby swimming for the first time today and he loved it!! When we first got in the pool his teeth were chattering, poor little man (he likes his bath rather warm), so we sat in the (warm only) hot tub and played, and then went back in the pool and this time he was ok. He was so tired out by playing that he fell asleep on the walk home and slept in his stroller (pushchair?) for almost an hour when we got home.

Sorry 'bout that - must've dozed off behind those curtains yesterday. The pictures of Mellors have certainly woken me up, though..., especially the ones where he looks a bit like Daniel Craig (remarkable resemblance...!) though those shorts'll never keep him warm in winter if you ask me.

Friendly waves are just fine from me, if that's alright with people. Saves people finding me hiding in the outhouse in the yard.

If I'm first up, shall I put the kettle on and help start the breakfast, and if so, anyone know where the eggs are kept?
