Swagger Inn Thread 126 :TREPIDATION. The wait for 'The Musketeers' S3 is killing us!

[Obs2016]

Dr Lemay will suggest a remedy for our angst. More boffing discussions? More re-watches?
We need something to soothe, as we wait for news of Series 3. Is the tonic more wine, cocktails and debauchery?
We're currently surviving on in The Night garden Manager, Jane Eyre and promises of Santi in Soccer Aid.

On we go wenches.......

Welcome back sparks, glad you've had a good weekend.

Agree it was rather erm brief comtess, but I suppose time was of the essence

And YES YES YES to s3 trailers over Easter.
And Soccer Aid could pull their bloody fingers out & give us an idea of date & venue

Maybe he spread his legs helen & that what kept the trousers up? That or an elasticated waistband?

What is your new hobby Sparks?

Pm'ed you, Helen

I've replied

For anyone wanting a bit more Hidders appreciation

Aaaaaaaah! DH says Hidders obviously has anti-gravity trousers. Duh. Well of course - why didn't I think of that?

Was very er...quick even for a quickie!

Sparks!! Excellent idea for Easter weekend trailers.

I've had a novel idea for a way of eating ice cream and it doesn't involve a cone. Or any hands.

We're now watching tonight's episode. Dickie and TH are just off for their meeting. TH is taking Jed for a drink. I'm looking forward to the anti-gravity trousers.

Or he velcroed the waistband to his balls helen?

LOL Fancy - DH says "ow!"
Who are you licking the ice cream off then LetUs? (Need I ask?)

Oh well - I need to clean up the dead rubbit carnage and then play wench cluedo (Athos in the Hayloft with Me)
Delusions rule ok. As ever.

Well after a Hidders shagging scene, I'm in the mood for a bit of passion - Vronsky on a thick rug for me......

Hmm well I'd have to study the scene more carefully without DH next to me but would TH favouring a tighter fit trouser stop them sliding down I wonder?

I've a shortlist of nine(ish) Helen, not taking into account Santi's various incarnations, so it's really a case of who happens to be passing

Ick re the rabbit. Our cat from years ago used to sit at our neighbours' French doors staring in at their rabbit in its hutch.

I can't cope with all the tense spy stuff. I kept hiding behind a cushion. What I need is some rather fantastic sword fighting by HBFs in leather set in Paris perhaps and some ⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜ flung liberally about the place.

Night all

Morning wenches. Like the addition to the gravity defying trousers debate letus. And you solution to spy-thriller tension

Oh that was good, wasn't it? But a bit too brief.
Laughing at the analysis of how his trousers stayed up.
Hello to Sparks and Anne.

Morning wenches. How is everywench today?

I have downloaded ITNM to my iPad and will watch that scene it again at lunchtime, studying that scene the plot carefully.

I am feeling very polite today. I would be very grateful if you would please look at these pictures. Thank you.

I have studied carefully LetUs

I am concerned about how Aramis seems to have lost his jumper, coat and one glove in the middle picture. Can I suggest that sewing a length of elastic onto his gloves and threading them through his coat sleeves might partially solve this problem in the future? Also, clearly labelling his clothes will make it easier to identify them in the lost property basket.

I may be missing the point and he is actually mid-strip for you

So... I lobbed last night's headless rabbit into the hedge, in the dark, not being able to see what I was doing. This morning I went out to feed the chickens and was confronted by a headless rabbit dangling from a branch in the hedge. It looks like a not-particularly-effective effort to scare off any more rabbits

Also Hopes apricot is feeling better and Madame has manged to avoid chips'n'gravy oop north, and that MrApricot's ribs are getting better, and Badders is feeling ok, and any other illing wenches too.

Morning wenches! Still grinnng at the thought of Hdders in elasticated waistband trousers. Although you all seemed to lose you wench mojo for a bit there with you over-analysis of length (nlt) (possiblylt) and logistics. Come on! Three things are required for a quickie against a wall. Wall, check. Quick, check. Panting, check. If a.n.other musketeer was substituted for Hidders (nice arse btw) would any of you been wondering how his trousers were staying up? I think not.
But FM, the conversation was vair hilaire, so thank you for that.
Lovely to see Ann and Sparks in the tav.

Morning! I'm ok thanks Helen and MrA's ribs are getting a bit better except when he coughs and laughs.

Loving the discussion about that scene. It looked very awkward and uncomfortable to me. I can't understand why they didn't use the bed although I suppose it was more gratuitous to do it up against a wall.

Hope ill wenches are recovering.

Physio this morning...hoping it's a hbf

Fluff honestly. Of course a wall scene will be subjected to over-analysis Especially when it provides so much comedy potential.

Fingers crossed for Badders getting a HBF - you'll have to demand another referral if not. (And even if it's not, you can close your eyes and fall asleep imagine Athos manipulating your body into the relevant positions )

Sorry Helen, I was forgetting the wenches love of over-analysing What was I thinking?
What the hell is it going to be like when S3 eventually possibly maybe airs?

hey Apricot!!! Glad you (and MrA) are on the mend.
You know I said we were going to our caravan this Easter. We don't normally go at Easter, we just go for the 2 may bank holidays. But we needed a couple of minor repairs done and the (unreliable) caravan repair man could only do easter, so we decided to go!!

All my friends down there, always tell me how nippy it is at easter. I told dh I needed an electric blanket. he scoffed. But he has ordered us a brand new delux one, and we are going to take our old one, from our bed (which is a new one, very expensive, 15 different silly settings) down there and put the new one on our bed.

This is a RESULT!! And my first thought..... I have to tell Apricot!! ... sorry its not something more exciting!!!
Does this make up for it? ........

For Apricot

You know, we could have a whole new competition of who can end the episode fastest by adjusting the plot. I mean I could forestall the entire Porthos/father subplot by simply adjusting the dialogue in S2Ep1 to:
General de Foix: Who are you?
Porthos: Porthos du Vallon
General de Foix: you know I think you're Belgard's son - how awkward. Ask Treville about it, I'm off to die tragically now.
Porthos: Oit - Treville - what's this about Belgard?
Treville: Ah - yes you're his son - we dumped you in the slums because he said he'd kill you if we didn't. Then we couldn't find you again to rescue you. Sorry about that - bit embarrassing really. Still - all turned out ok, you being a musketeer and all now. He's a bit of a twat - wouldn't bother about him if I were you.

See? Sorted.
