Downton Abbey

[harrietthespook]

Ladies....as we were?

Let's hope not. Again: would JF really risk all the 'Cougars' out there switching off? [hgrin]

Me harriet, me. I keep saying that Matthew has unnervingly goaty eyes.

He would be acceptable however, if he was blinded by mustard gas like that poor chap who killed himself and wore a blindfold.

That would be a more acceptable war wound to someone who didn't have to work for a living and had a driver, albeit a chippy one, than having your willy rendered unresponsive.

Besides, many couples find blindfolds and other utensils an exciting part of lovemaking.

Not me, though. With me and MrLtd it's strictly lights off, nightie up, knickers down.

What are 'goaty' eyes.

pale, and not in an interesting way

Sir Richard looks very well groomed

I SEE Limited.

(Imagines what it would be like to be that gorgeous and it's still not enough for some people.)

limited that was waaaay more than I wanted to know love :)

How long do yo think it would take Branson to decide the only way to make a headline would be to drive the blind Matthew into a river?

I find Matthew slightly too weak of chin. Picky I know, and not kind in view of what's happened to him. I also suspect he may have been subconsciously drawn to William because of he was so overly-endowed in the chin department. Just my theory.

That's an interesting theory orlando.

Dan Stevens should breed with Jennifer Aniston or Reese Witherspoon and then they would stand a chance of producing offspring with relatively normal chins rather than weak or the kind you could dig graves with.

I think it was for the best that Brad and Jen split up when they did otherwise they'd have founded a Habsburg-type dynasty that ultimately would have starved without the use of specialised tools to eat.

Yes I did giggle when Matthew and William lying in the ditch faded to the moon over Downton - Matthew's head was the moon for a moment. Wrong head.

The evil chauffeur driving his helpless boss into a raging river is a silent movie staple AKMD right up there with tying people to railway lines.

It's 1918. Branson and Matthew could move to Hollywood, team up with Max Sennett and make a fortune.

Obviously to preserve the pretence Matthew would have to dress up as Mary Pickford at all times, which might be a bit of a drag. Thomas would probably like it though.

Aniston.You have a lumberjack's chin.

Oh yes limitedperiod, absolutely with you on the selective breeding. You see, it's interesting. In the early 1900s they were preoccupied with finding an advantageous social match, whereas we are more on top of putting people of complementary bone structure together. That's progress for you.

This thread is infamous!

Mentioned twice in MN newsletter dispatches

& Limited you win quote of the week.....huzzah!!

Getting back to my ishooos with JF's snatching of plots - he's even doing it with dialogue. "at moments of crisis I never seem to have a hankerchief" - that's what Rhett Butler said about Scarlett O'Hara. I'm so onto you JF.

Georgimamma you are a pedant after my own heart!!

Quite apart from plagiarism, that line was spectacularly clunky.

quite. a twatty little flibbertygibbet like lav would have a hanky in every crevice.

georgimama at quote recognition.
you have the skillz that thrillz mi'lady

what was Limited's quote of the week? I missed that.

How many episodes left?

Did you see they're filming a blardy Xmas Special?
Do you think Lady Mary will open a Xmas present on Matthew's lap and inside it will have his trouser snake erectus covered in tinsel and he can say: "surprise! It works once a year at the Yule Tide! Merry Christmas My Darling!"

Sorry....

It's a shame there's no "like" button on mumsnet mrsz :)

love you longtime!

Awww, thanks mrsz, that's the first time anyone's ever said that to me on mumsnet [hgrin] !

And it's the truth!!
