Swagger Inn 151: The One Where Wenches Are Blindfolded And Don’t Use Their Hands ..... Practising Bobbing For Apples Of Course <ahem>

[LetUsPrey]

Hope this one’s okay.

Aramis just giving a demonstration

Yes, it is a bit - there was a good solid frost on the ground this morming.

Apparently Howie has had a nasty accident with a tin of white emulsion is in The Scorpion King. (No, I don't know either, but it's in South Africa according to Instagram, so he's onto a good thing re. weather!)

Ah howie
You opalescent tree mermaid...atill talking utter bollocks I see 😂
Are those dreads!?🙄
Better than the s3 bouffant I guess.....
🤔

Don't think we can entirely blame him for his hairstyle - I assume that's something to do with the production

Did someone already post this link? [[https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2017/war-peace-actor-tom-burke-set-new-theatre-company/ article about TB's new theatre company...

Pffft
I bet he loves it Helen

Afternoon wenches.

I've lost track of the articles now. This one although it's very nice, refers to "Tom Burke, usually known as War and Peace's Tom Burke.... " Really? This implies that W&P was his most important role. They do quote Strike at the end though.

Lovely pics of him.

at double dose of exercise innuendo.

Glad Howie's in work but could do without the pretentious rubbish.

Had a fright this afternoon. I've been reorganising my work station, i.e. chucking out my old computer which I was still using on occasion but has now died. DH did all the cable stuff and I cleaned the keyboard. I don't know what I did but when I started to type this disembodied voice repeated everything I typed. Scared the life out of me. Apparently it's Windows Narrator. Who knew? It's taken me all afternoon to get rid of it.

How does Windows narrator cope with Tav Lit apricot?

I think the author of that blog is right though - most articles do tend to refer to him being W&P rather than Musketeers, even though the screen time doesn't compare. Obviously, W&P is serious television which should be quoted in articles, as opposed the Musketeers being entertaining FAF fluff FAF. Incedentally, apricot - oh Queen of the viewing stats - which did get higher veiwing figures- TM or W&P? That could account for it as well. Never mind screen time or prominence of roles - which had more people watching it, so where are people more likely to have seen him?
I may be giving this too much thought
I ought to be getting tea on the go, then working out layouts for tiling the bathroom, and and and... (I never did get the chickens coop sorted out either )

I shall leave you with the reminder that, while ninja cats may appear to be sleeping, they are always within reach of their weapons...

Evening wenches.

Hope he wasn’t always first across the line Fancy

at Helen’s exercise innuendo Fingers crossed for HBI tonight. DS1 is sporting some rather impressive looking injuries on both elbows. I shall patch him up and make him go. Best thing for him.

Glad you figured out where the spooky voice was coming from Apricot and more importantly you stopped it.

That Jon Snow chappy has a rather large coat Badderz. I bet he’d keep you warm.

DS2 is home . He’s had a great time and loved the activities. I’ve properly missed him —not missed the sound of the Wii though—

Love the picture of HelenNinjaCat

I’m ignoring the suitcase which is rammed full of washing.

Mmm....all the better if he was naked underneath....

Excuse me...im just um...going for a lie down...

Oh, I'm tempted to put the Narrator back on to see what she does with Tav Lit, but I might not be able to get rid of her again.

Interesting about the viewing figures.

War and Peace average over 6 episodes - 7.73 million
Musketeers Season 1 average over 10 episodes - 6.29 million
Musketeers Season 2 average over 10 episodes - 3.75 million
Musketeers Season 3 average over 10 episodes - 3.45 million

I knew I kept these figures for some reason.

So, season 1 isn't that far behind, and I still maintain he's better known for TM than W&P, in which he only had a small part.

Glad DS2 had a good time LetUs.

Also love HelenNinjaCat.

Oh FFS. No sportingactivity tonight. DS1 appears to be a bit more injured than I originally thought. I cleaned his elbows and knees and put plasters on them, but they’re bleeding through a bit. And his sportingactivity clothing is white. Not happening. Oh and it hurts too apparently.

We’ll watch a new Lucifer. It’s TE’s birthday today so I reckon I’ll have Aramis and Lucifer at the chateau tonight as a special treat.

There's thoughtful LetUs - it will be a lovely present for TE

Shame about SportingActivity - we'll just have to work with the suggestion to keep our legs spread.

I’m so considerate

We could also take this moment to relive some of HBI’s hits, for example

Try and change position, don't stay in the same position
If you want to make me go down, you have to grab and pull hard
They're either going to push you on the floor, or push you up against a wall
Let your hips relax into it, stretch yourself off, don’t go down too easy

And particularly relevant for me at the chateau later
Make sure you do both people both sides

There's some very good advice there.

Poor DS1, btw What on earth did he do to himself? Very sensible call though, on the washing front.

Must shovel DS up to bed...

Fell during PE on the astroturf, including skidding along on his elbows.

Remember the dress I missed on eBay which was the same as one I had but I needed a bigger size? I’ve just got the one out of my wardrobe and checked the label. It’s the same sodding size as the one I was going to buy off eBay What a prat

Well at least you didn't buy the ebay one - that would have been

Oooh, Poldark on children in Need

Oh - they're wenches!
They had a set tour, including surprise meeting with Aiden Turner in full costume:
"We're in shock!"
"Lustful shock"

Just caught the end of that sketch

Where’s Wicked by the way? I know I send Athos over with some wine. Perhaps there was a bit too much?

Nope.

ah right, it’s okay, he needed help laying the table. At least I think that’s what he said. They seem to have got confused

Lucifer was excellent tonight. Something which will continue throughout the night

Evening

Thank you for making up for the lack of smut this evening by replaying some classics letus. And to helen for the new additions to the genre . It's like a proper Friday night

Oh apricot please get the computer to read out the Tav Lit - would be so funny!

I'm imagining a sat-nav type voice - can you imagine Sat-nav literature Fancy? remembering my comments on the one we tried using? Too much notice before the next action so you forget what happens next, then a sudden panic when you get a last minute reminder. Either that or a completely emotionless Stephen Hawkins type of computer voice

I have stayed up too late again, but it's because we're watching Last Leg, so it's ok.
