Swagger Inn 149 - The One Where Team TB Wenches Go On Strike <ylt>

[LetUsPrey]

Hope this is okay for everywench

Evening wenches.

"below Aiden, Tom Hardy and Sam Heughan" - can I get an "oh fuck, yes please"?

I may have accidentally on purpose dropped that person at work in it today by going telling one of the PTBs about how someone else is being expected to do the work because the actual person couldn't be bothered

High-fives LetUs
On all levels.

Best go and participate in family life - though tbh they're probably glued to the x-box and haven't noticed that they haven't seen me for the past half hour...

You mean like DS1 the other night "where's dad?" "He went out about an hour ago. Shouted bye to you. You made a grunting noise back".

Something like that

Well done Letus

A late one for me, had to pick DD up from school this evening. Need to do some ironing now. Well what I really need is some fafness. In my bed. Now. But I'm not holding my breath

Does this help at all Fancy? (First one courtesy of a previous post by Helen)

You're welcome - it seemed a waste to have him posing in the bed and not take a quick snap for you
yeah, right.

Oh I say!!!!!! That's given me plenty to think about

S’not fair

Lucifer took all his clothes off again. Sigh.

Great! Blob pain from hell. Trying to sleep

LetUs how is Lucifer taking all his clothes off 'unfair'?!

WW - here, have Athos - he'll distract you (or drugs, hot water bottle etc)

Off to BoringOfficeJob but at least the weather is nice here today...

Have to go in a bit earlier today, so time to get in the shower. Have fab days everyone.

Morning wenches. Hope you managed to get some sleep Wicked. Dolokhov will fuss over you too.

Helen - Suppose you could say it was unfair because he didn’t do it in my actual presence

Is somewench making a new thread?

Morning wenches

Hope Athos is being suitable soothing for you Wicked, make the most of him he's on a timer

Ladies, exciting news chez Elk. Letuseszz pic^^ has reminded me...the school run has improved significantly since MlleElk moved. Her new teacher bears more than a passing similarity to Mr Turner up there, only with short hair...the resemblance is not just from the neck up either iykwim (of course you do)

Poidh elk

My ds's new male teacher bears more than a passing similarity to Barney Bear. No fair.

I'm back in!!!!

OMFG. If you only knew the kerfuffle I've had.

Picture the scene;

Comtess goes out after work. Gets a taxi to popular nightspot. Gets out. Leaves Fucking handbag in taxi.

Ffs.

So, can't remember anything about taxi to help track bag down. Cry. Feel very stupid. Remember apartment keys left in locker at work anyway by mistake. Yay! Remember locker key was in bag. Boo!

So, much fuckwittery later, bag is returned to work due to work id with all money still in it. Lovely people. Bit somewhere along the way my nice new iphone 7 was not. Weird. Why would someone nick phone but not money?? Odd.

So, I've been embroiled in a multi-country-time zone mess trying to get iphone replaced by company based in Oz which I'm insured on, and trying to get a sim and phone couriered to Japan tech capital of everywhere as the twatbadgers wouldn't let me just go and get one from somewhere else and pay me back. Wankers. Took til Saturday and then I've had to reset all my stuff. That took hours. looks exhausted and very angry.

I know this is basically my fault for being a bit disorganised and running late and etc etc but it's been a total nightmare.

Anyway; good news is I saw All The Strike. And I would indeed HAVE ALL THE STRIKE if I could.

Hang on will just breathe a minute and have a small glass of wine and then will list comments ..,,,

1. HE IS SOOOOOO FUCKING GOOD IN THIS.

2. I loved everything about TB in this. Just the right amount of vulnerability without pity, wry looks, funny comments and outright sexiness.

3. I was annoyed by some bits of adaptation (inevitably I suppose) especially the Robin car bit (too expensive I guess but the field/car bit instead wasnt really enough to demo her skills. Also agree with whoever said (Elk, I think?) that cutting out the Lascelles character meant that we didn't get Strike sex which has been demonstrated in first book he is rather good at. And we should have that built into the character that he is attractive to women even though he's a bit smelly living in the office. and yes the explanation at the end very off; why have all that dog shitting on the lavender and then not make more of fact she's feeding the dog the innards? Also, this is a bit in the book where Robin first gets handson detective work so that's annoying to leave out too. As is the taxi exit from the Arts Club which all dovetails into her driving skills. Hmmmmmmm. Deffo needed 3 or 4 parts to do well. And the bit with the typewriter evidence totally glossed over.

4. I COULD WATCH TOM BURKE STRIDING AROUND IN A COAT ALL DAY EVERY DAY

5. Yum to the wrist kiss bit.

6. yes Matthew is a twat but I think they got the balance right with her difficulty choosing between him and her enjoyment and excitement about the role.

7. thought Tim McInnery was fab as Chard though.

8. when is the next one on?????

9. I want book 4. Because now I can visualise TB in it it will be even better.

11. I'm really fucking stressed out about Christmas as don't know what country I'll be in etc so buying anything will be a stretch. Fuck.

Oh and I did my half marathon in 1:49.32 so I was really really chuffed 😊

Have you seen clip of Trudeau at the UN? 🇨🇦 Thank goodness there's something decent in North America. And definitely would. Even if he is called Justin.

^that is meant to be a Canadian flag. FFS.
