Swagger Inn Thread 71 - Wench like your life depends on it, which incidentally it does (if you're with the Cardnial)

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Flings open doors dramatically..... (but looks a bit more cheerful than certain beardy sullen wall-leaners)

Lines up alcohol...

Musketeers at the ready....

Unleash the wenches....

Ok so it takes an anagram to bring cinn out of panto land! Whats this one then:

I STREAM AS MAGNIFICATIONS

Go!

Ironing done.
Tumble dryer fucked :(
One wash on...going to take it to mums later for her to dry it for me.
Need to strop all the beds this week.
Sigh.
Am fed up.

Afternoon everyone.
to mrsbee & badders for their 'opening scene of porn film' moments this morning.

indeed madame, he'd be livid if it was the other way round, but because I'm a 'good sleeper' (good? I'm magnificent!) it's not the same . I'd have been crosser, but he's flying out to Australia (think it's probably Sydney) so he could be in for a long & shitty day.

& freshly laundered snuggly fleece for anne (won't be cat hair-free for long so make the most of it) & hope all DC's are recovering.

elk. omg how scary, hope mrelk is ok. Commiserations re the mooncup, have very nearly been there myself.

glad to hear the panto is doing well cinnamon

Good news about the Panto cin!
Dh in the shed...as ever.
Oven cleaned.
Don't think fridge freezer will get done before Xmas!
Pissing down with rain here.

what a complete bugger about the dryer badders

It's just not my month is it?

it certainly isn't. Do you think it's completely dead, or maybe repairable? (if the latter, do you know any fit young electricians, like mrsbee does? )

Sadly not :(
Changed fuse, cleaned filter...everything I can think of...
Grr

Grr is very restrained under the circumstances.

Have some , DS made it yesterday. Very rich & chocolatey, & while it's quiet in here, why not add a side order of Musketeer?

Elk - Bloody hell. Hope Mr Elk OK. That's scary. Hope the twat responsible doesn't manage to kill someone.

MrsBee - Thank for the offer. I will let you know. Didn't actually make it into town today as had a problem with basin waste in bathroom and had to wait for plumber. All sorted now though and water running freely!

Badders - That's a bugger. However, don't let those beds get too stroppy! - Yeah... I know. It was a typo

Who have I missed?

Everyone else - Hope you're having a good day or feeling better if you've been pr are unwell or have found a suitcase stuffed with fifty pound notes while out doing errands!

Back in a bit!

Mr Bloom as peter pan. Strangely alluring.

Stroppy beds....story of my life :)
Madame...mr bloom?? Ewww. He is so....potato facey.
I have eaten more candy canes. And chocs. Have also run out of satsumas.
FML

Hope you left some Candy canes and chocs on the tree?

Great news about the panto Cin.

Done some cooking and decorating today. That is it!

Elk hope MrElk has a safe journey home.

Weeellllll....lathered are one or two :)
Ho oh ho

Elk - what a twat and glad DH is ok.

Is it time to crank up the excitement levels Elk, Apricot and Carolina. Tomorrow is your best opportunity yet for that selfie with TOM BURKE.

Oh my god. It's tomorrow!
I'm so jealous of you all who are going, but pleased for you,obv,
but I would crawl over your twitching bodies to get there myself

Evening wenchiiiii.

Have RBNR. Soz.

I see still no S2 news then. WTH is going on?

I've just had a lovely 5 mins alone with my mini rotating Santis before I start the dinner

Anne.....not a fucking chance! For the most part I will be hiding under a pew

Hi to Helen.
Nice opening photo.

sorry I missed re-watch.
"Being King is sooooooo Boring" - oh. One of my favourite kingy sayings. Just like a card, eh?

Thinking now of TB and Carol concert tomorrow. God I hope you get good photos wenches. I so hope he's there for quite a few minutes and you get your money's worth.

No way! I am not even looking to get a selfie with Tom. I will happily play photographer for anyone else who wants one but that's it.

I am not very tall and would look ridiculous standing next to a 6' tall man.

I will be under the same pew as Elk ! - Not forgetting baby Elk - unless she wants a selfie - and possibly Apricot if she's not feeling brave either !

Oh for FUCK'S sake.

Musings on Tom and the boys having listened to the S2 Q and A that Apricot and Carolina posted before. I've just had a series of fortunate events which led to me getting home early and the opportunity of listening to it on the TV via the YouTube app.

Regarding Tom:

1. I could listen to him all day, every day.

2. He has the room with him. Everyone laughs along, perfect comic timing.

3. Generously highlighting others strengths, is a very attractive quality.

4. Slippery steps injury anecdote is classic Tom. Funny, self-effacing, just fab.

5. I utterly and hopelessly adore him.

On others;

6. mark is very funny and I think he is brilliant talking about his rubbish ness at stunts and riding.

7. Santi has a lovely voice. Interesting to hear about him having a fear of heights, you will have to bear that in mind Team Aramis.

8. Howie and Luca are v professional but I must say if I had to be trapped in a lift with someone Tom and Mark would be great fun. But I'll just have Tom, as Mark tho funny is short. Soz. Shallow.

Must also say that a few of the twitter pics I've seen of Ryan make me think that dirty kingy rather attractive and this is having seen him in The Hobbit where he couldn't be more repulsive if he tried. Ryan is fab.

Please make time to listen to it wenches. Lots of them all on it, and lots of very sexy Tom. .

Ps

MrsB was nearly weeping earlier with your thigh rubbing over Sparkie. And the 'cheered me right up' totally hilarious. Must introduce you to our plumber. Lush.

To be honest, I don't think this will be like Paris. That was an official meet and greet, this is a private event. I doubt there will be any chance for photos, and if there is I'll be under that pew with Elk and Carolina.

I agree April.

The Paris thing was specifically to publicise a TV show whereas the carols event is not a Tom or TM related event. There are also going to be other readers there and I would hate their efforts to be overshadowed or under appreciated by the whole thing turning into a Tom-fest.

I'm sure he will take a few minutes to meet a few people but we need to remember also that there are going to be non-Burketeers/Tomfans who have also paid their £30.00 and might want to have a word with those who read at the event including Tom.

I know the fundraising thing has been a big thing on Twitter and I suspect Angie at least will be sought out by Tom but lest we all forget, everyone who has purchased a ticket and will be attending has donated to the cause.
