How can you say you don't like people under a pic of AT & Richard Armitage ww - they're people Shock Wink

I note that Chalet Comtess has a hot tub & an open fire. Of course it does, the saucepot.

Badders123 · 15/01/2017 22:14

Chalet comtesse would be a filth palace
😜😀

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 15/01/2017 22:37

Night

FancyFancy · 15/01/2017 23:14

KLAXON KLAXON!!! Let's see if this draws comtess out of the woodwork - Homeland starts next Sunday

LetUsPrey · 15/01/2017 23:23

Just finished watching Sherlock. Bloody brilliant! Can't believe it's over again.

Fancy - they're not people, they're HBFs (although they don't always have beards so are HFs)

I should head to the hayloft.

FancyFancy · 15/01/2017 23:31

Night letus

LetUsPrey · 15/01/2017 23:43

Can I just say if you're watching the "open your present" scene from Poldark, wearing headphones adds a whole new aspect. The lines "open your present" and then "let me see" are

Now, really, hayloft. Night x

Morning all

Ffs

FancyFancy · 16/01/2017 07:39

Morning wenches. Have swapped work days this week, so am in today - laters.

LetUsPrey · 16/01/2017 08:10

Morning wenches.

Tired. So tired. I just want to go back to bed with an HBF.

Good luck at the doctors Badderz.

Hello! Ive rbnr. Im barely keeping up with the thread atm what with stupid migraines and life. Sorry all I seem to be commenting on is Elementary.

Good luck with the pre move moves wicked.

bads get well soon, rest up. Have they ruled out nasties like pneumonia? My friend who is a TA got this last year.

And ooooh was the half naked boxing s3? I watched an s2 ep last night where he was half naked boxing too! We are as one. I pretended Id missed the dialogue so had to rewind. there was no dialogue Dp was half asleep so didnt notice.

MadamedeChevreuse · 16/01/2017 08:31

S5 not s3!

Badders123 · 16/01/2017 09:41

I think it was s2

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 16/01/2017 10:22

OMG, bleurgh.... I went back to bed after DH went off to work (and dropped DS at school) and I've had one of those hideous hours of half waking from dreams and then dropping straight back into them and not being able to wake up. I would swear blind that at 9am DH came back - heard his keys in door, moving about downstairs, and I got up to see him but couldn't get my eyes open. and I never left the bed of course. So now I feel like a complete space cadet and am wittering at you lot and generally faffing about online before I log onto work and have to try and make sense and sound vaguely competent whilst talking to Real Life people. Confused

Excellent tactics Madame Star We did rewinding on Sherlock last night, but that was because we actually hadn't caught dialogue, rather than to appreciate the acting skills perve at anyone.

Must work, have now been mucking about online for far too long.

Badders123 · 16/01/2017 11:16

Ugh Helen I hate it when that happens
Poor ds has got antibiotics and high dose steroids 😞😷
I asked dr to sign me off and she did! Without even asking why!
maybe the fact my voice has gone and I'm hacking up green gunge gave it away?
So, just ds2s hospital appt this afternoon
No idea if ds will be well enough to do work shadowing with dh tomorrow - I doubt it somehow
I intend to spend this week looking after ds and sitting on the sofa/in bed

MadamedeChevreuse · 16/01/2017 12:43

KLAXON bads get well present for you! Warning: contains extreme adorableness.

Badders123 · 16/01/2017 13:05

Ooohhhhhhh
Thanks Madame
Just waiting to pick ds2 up from school
Watched Sherlock....can a clever wench explain it to me, please? Am utterly baffled

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 16/01/2017 13:33

In a word Badders - no. (Maybe LetUs can be cleverer than me at explaining WTAF was that about?)

I thought that it was simultaneously good, but at the end it was also very "Oh, was that it?" Dunno. I can't put my finger on why. I think it may have been trying to be deep and meaningful or something, but didn't do it for me. It was definitely good in parts, I think it just got over-hyped.

The Guardian reviewer was quite funny and a bit Hmm about it, Telegraph reviewer though it was wonderful.

Go figure.

OP posts:
Badders123 · 16/01/2017 13:36

I didn't hate it
But I didn't like it either
And that bit at the end felt like a sign off to me despite the rumours of s5
And I think the writers have got a bit...er...wanky?

ApricotCrush · 16/01/2017 14:50

Afternoon wenches!

The view from your Mum's new apartment looks amazing WW, as does Chalet Comtess.

I hate those dreams Helen or when someone's chasing you and you can't run.

See, this is why I can't be bothered with Sherlock, it makes me think I'm thick because I can't understand it.

I watched Taboo, it made a lot more sense when I managed to stay awake. Hmm

Right, off to fetch DGS from school.

MadamedeChevreuse · 16/01/2017 17:34

Mi-aow! Saucer of milk for the Guardian! Grin

Then again, they did publish Mark Gatiss's embarrassing and rubbish poem in their Letters page, in which he showed how petulantly unable he was to take their criticism of the first episode.

I think he and Steve Moffat need to take all this on the chin and learn some lessons from it. And for Dr Who before they totally spanner that too.

Badders123 · 16/01/2017 17:42

Yeah
Same as with dr who - they started to believe their own hype and treat it as a personal ego project and that never ends well imho
Shame

Badders123 · 16/01/2017 17:59

I couldn't help feeling that - by the end - it had just turned into a gatiss/Moffat mutual masturbatory fantasy
Maybe it's just me.....
