Swagger Inn Thread 136 - Series 3 Finishes - wenches wail piteously, don black crepe and mourn the lack of Musketeers on screen

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

... then we just carry on jabbering and perving, and rewatching, and, well business as usual. Apparently there are plenty of thighs on display at the Olympics.

We're also going out

Mmmmm spreadage................

No, not you Porthos

Apparantly DD is now awke, 'spose I ought to get moving. Have a good Bank Holiday everyone

I have a style question for you ladies...
It's my b day in early oct - I'm thinking of having my hair dyed grey/purple
it's really grey anyway naturally
Thoughts?

FUCKING HELLFIRE!!!!

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!

The COMORAN STRIKE BOOKS ARE JUST BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

I am sooooooooo excited!!!!!

Things which are important to note;

1. Comtess has read all three books at least twice as read first and second again before starting third when it came out. Please ask any questions and I can answer!

2. As it's a JK adaptation I'm very hopeful it'll go global and be a massive Beeb headliner such as Poldark ie HAVE PROPER FUCKING PROMO AND PICS AND INTERVIEWS EVERYWHERE.

This is essentially GUARANTEEING Tomtastic time for a while. Woo Hoo!!

3. Strike is meant to be a huge hulking man who is very hairy of v
   chest etc with hair described as a bit pube-like 😬😄😄😄😄. He's also meant to be v tall (6'5 type tall) and very well built. I think Tom's trainer may need to start him on the Chris Hemsworth plan . This is good news. No much they can do on tall except for cast Robin as a shortie.

4. Robin who is officially the secretary but is actually his sidekick investigator is a beautiful strawberry blonde. Actually Rose Leslie might play her well!! .

5. these books are immensely popular. I think this is the moment where Tom really gets properly very famous.

6. JK said she intends to write 7 in the Strike series so that means 4 more books. Hopefully this means MORE TOM.

7. This will have been such a competitive role to get. He will be the man of the moment.

8. THERE IS SEX IN THE BOOKS.
   I can outline this further if you are happy not to be spoilered!

9. I'm really excited about a fusion of some of my favourite things! Have you noticed?

10. I just adore Tom Burke.

Bads ok, I'm going to have to get that tea-pot

Letus well done for surviving. I would have totally lost my temper and thrown things so I think you've been very measured and calm!

Wicked yes to fabric. And get the tea-pot so we can all match.

Apes fabulous klaxonery. And please yes do the blog! I'd love to read it!

Mouse nice to see you! Boo to the fucking marching.

Elk FUCKING HELL I don't know what that alien spawn was but thank goodness you've got quick reflexes with picnic eggs. JEEEZUS. How long did it cling on for?

Helen I laughed sooooo much at the idea of you being puzzled about transition from vet to detective. Hilare. Hope you're having a lovely time out.

Cinn I couldn't even bear to watch the trailer of Durrells. Ick.

Fancy mmmmmmmm thighs. Always a satisfying watch. Hope FancyLad has had a good time celebrating his success.

We have had a great weekend at Mooloolaba. It's just fabulous.

Bads a friend of mine has hers dyed a deep steel grey. Looks fab.

Comtesse!
Well I've just eaten 2 cream merangues so the diet is off for another day :)
I'm going to go for it re my hair, I think.
Will cost a fortune but meh. Feck it.
I have just ordered the first CS book for my kindle!
Re the sex...is it good? is it hot?

Afternoon.

Def go for it badders, sound good

be a massive Beeb headliner such as Poldark - see I just immediately thought of the gratuituously topless scything scene when I read that - like the Beeb didn't know such a shameless piece of fan service wouldn't create a buzz about the programme

Glad you've had a good weekend away comtess. Fancylad had rather too good a time celebrating his success and a repeat performance anytime soon will earn him a grounding

I think my vadge just exploded

Half naked scything
Fuck me

Bugger me - imagine the carnage in here if there actually was semi-naked TB scythe action ?

hang on
Let me just imagine that for a second...

My god, it's a bit like malc's reaction when peter capaldi got the doctor who gig

I agree, this is just MAHOOSIVE for Tom. It will utterly catapult him into the big league - and he deserves it. Congrats team athos, you lucky buggers!

I am well excited. Not read the books but I do love JK and this sounds like it's going to be epic telly. sex bits sound good please do spill comtesse When is it on again?

I'm such a happy horny wench

COMTESS TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SEX!!!!!

ww - are you excited by any chance?

I'm rather looking forward to this as well, even if I am a bit

Evening! Just loving all the excitement about TB's part. and I do hope the Beeb spice it up, we know he's willing and able.

I would imagine he'll start filming after The Deep Blue Sea finishes on 21st September. I'm guessing we won't get it until Sept next year, but I'm sure there'll be lots of promo stuff going on in the meantime.

Dooo iiiiiitt with the hair Badders.

Ooh apricot, talk of filming has got me wondering where they'll film it?

Just a bit Fancy

Evening all. Had fun day out despite small DS being a pain a normal small child "I want, I want, I want... etc"

Unfotunately now have splittign headache, and he's watching Gumball - this is not helping my headache. Am going to bed I think.

Hope everyone had a fun day and LOL at Comtess's massively excited flailing over Tom being lined up to play a Cormorant private detective who was not previously a veterinary professional of any sort...

Filming in London according to this article Fancy. I read it as an Afghan veterinary person first time around Helen.

Hope your headache goes away soon.

Thank you apricot - so we need someone who's read the book(s) & has knowledge of London to suggest filming locations then?

I need me some naked Tom
