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.

Are you surprised sparks? He can top my podium any time he likes

Very good Fancy if somewhat biased.

Right then, we're off after lunch. Enjoy the Olypubs, the Versailles finale those who watch it, and I hope returning wenches had a good time.

Will try to keep in touch, wifi permitting. ILYA.

I'll take somewhat biased apricot , that's rather generous of you!

Have a wonderful holiday, hope wi-fi allows you to check in

Mwahahaha LOVE the Musketeer Top trumps. Brilliant 😂

Shame about our girls in the diving but I think they got a PB so I'm sure they were delighted to be there. Even in the manky green pool which looked like it should have been in the hippo bit at the zoo.

Loved Japan giving it some to NZ in the R7s.

Been all efficient at home today putting together new beds. Twinnis not sharing a room here for the first time ever which they both love and find odd which is quite sweet really.
Have booked my big boy his flight out for Christmas hols!

laters

I wish there was a like button on here.

I'm liking Fancy bring somewhat biased - possibly almost as biased as I am re: Athos.

Aw Comtesse that's so sweet :)
Been school shoe and trainer shopping today. Fuck me. I'm £170 poorer and still got football boots to get 😳
Have a Fab time apes X

You like swimmers you say?
And puppies?
Say no more....

Slow down comtess, you're showing me up . All I've achieved is watching loads of sport. I think our divers haven't been together long, so hopefully they'll get better & better. And one of them has just done her GCSEs

Two excellent silvers in the pool for GB last night and in further good news, Geraint Thomas is a late entry in the time trial this afternoon. That calls for a re-posting of the pic of us fan-girling him

No medal for G, but he's done well.

Rugby 7s on atm, for lovers of muscly men

Yay!!!! Froome got the bronze medal & Cancellara got gold - nice result

Have parroted the cycling stuff to DH Fancy

The Top Trumps seems to be missing:
Sword Skills, which of course Athos wins hands down (or up, or anywhere he wants to put them )
CSI Paris skills
Medicinal skills (Aramis for Embroidery and Surgery, Athos for anaesthetic & soup withdrawal)

Have a great holiday Apes

GOOOOOOOOLD!

That diving was fab wasn't it helen? Am now watching the gymnastics, Max Whitlock doing well so far.

Worth catching up on the highlights tonight wenches, we've got medals in judo, shooting & canoeing. Or kayaking I can never remember what the difference is.

WOOOT!!!! Whitlock has a bronze at least

Hurrah! (I think it was kayaking, though I have no idea of the difference eitherr - paddles do you think?)

And we won the rugby - into the semi-finals. Not convinced we'll get into the finals though.

Ooh could be - is one where you use both ends of the paddle & the other just the one iyswim? I'm sure I was told during the last Olympics, but promptly forgot

Good news about the rugby

at BBC live commentary:
Rugby Sevens South Africa 22-5 Australia
Posted at 22:58
GB will face South Africa in the semi-finals of the men's rugby sevens on Thursday. If they win, they go for golf.

Really BBC? If the rugby team win the semis, then go for a nice round of golf?!

Maybe they'll make them compete in the golf, as so many of the top one's aren't in Rio?

Hi honeys Im home!!!!

I have 20 hundred loads of washing to do. And a week of freelance work starting today. And no childcare for ds. And dss1 arriving later today.

Madame - mwah!!! welcome home
Re. "No childcare for ds. And dss1 arriving later today."
I think you'll find those two will cancel each other out then

re freelance. I took on a 'small' job for someone - the spreadsheet is up to 165 line. That is not a small job - that's bigger than the big job that I havent' even started yet. . speaking of which.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Freelance job has been cancelled!!!!

Result!!!!!!!!!

helen re "small" freelance job. Remember...they lie!!!!!! They ALWAYS lie!!!!!

Sadly I fear dss1 will not be the answer to holiday child entertaining...19 year olds get bored of 6 year olds pretty quickly and escape down the pub with their dad

I am now going to spend the next few days trying to get a cat for me ds. Going to see one this avo, yay!
