Downton Abbey Part THREE: Shoehorns and Spanish Fly

Soooooooooooooo I still reckon Cora to kick the bucket, shuffle of this mortal coil, sing with the choir eternal etc etc

I bet Jane is handy with a shorehorn for Lord 6, he's been out of action for a while so may need some help.

Argh!

"he" = Jane's son

Longtime · 28/10/2011 00:23

I'm confused. Saw the thread title and laughed at the typo of Spanish Fly instead of Spanish Flu and then saw you all talking about an extra 'n'. Is this all OliviaBirthdayGirlMumsnet's fault?

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 28/10/2011 08:37

Glad I am not the only confused person Longtime.
I'll be glad when it's all over TBH, DD is getting totally obsessed with it and wants the book for christmas.

Longtime

Yes OliviaBirthdayGirlMN was full of birthday cheer last night & when asked to change the original typo in the title added one of her own!!

We'll blame Norfolk for rushing to claim the OP on the new thread!!
(love the tune I went to bed humming the blardy thing) Grin

Lua I'd wondered about Lord G's interest too, although he always does take an interest in the servants families & I suppose it being an unusual thing to have a married housemaid he was curious.

Obsessed rips who on earth would be like that about a mere Sunday soap??

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 28/10/2011 09:27

Did anyone see JF on Question Time last night?

Bossybritches22 · 28/10/2011 09:59

No missed it Lady H ....was he full of pompous bullsh**e wit & wisdom?

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 28/10/2011 10:10

I was out a work's thing so no. Was looking forward to the flash mob.

Longtime · 28/10/2011 11:03

rips, my dd likes it too but I can't claim she's more obsessed than I am. After all, she's not spending time she should be doing housework reading this thread! Once Downton's over, Strictly and Merlin continue so still plenty for her to be obsessed by :)

Part 2 Three

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 28/10/2011 11:34

DD is a child withsomewhat obsessive behavior a great consuming interest in certain things, homework not being one of them Sad.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 28/10/2011 11:34

arse

Longtime · 28/10/2011 12:18

rips, that's why I usually unless I can't be bothered use the "preview message" thingy first!

Bossybritches22 · 28/10/2011 12:52

HELLO OLIVIA HOWS THE HEAD TODAY?? Grin

God yes I use the preview anytime I try to post terribly witty & smartarse comments like this....hence my posts are about half an hour behind everyone!!

ThePsychicSatsuma · 28/10/2011 13:41

mouse is very very tomatoey now,

what rhymes with shagging > gagging > ragging > bagging >

Downton thread Three us obsessives need gagging;
Desperate are we to see Who Mary's now shagging

Georgimama · 28/10/2011 14:18

Having seen trailer - would Violet really say "Mary is still in love with you?" really? It's not terribly Dowager Countess is it? And was Matthew standing up or just in a Go Go Gadget wheelchair?

diddl · 28/10/2011 14:46

Well they seem hell bent on M&M marrying.

But I wonder does she say it before or after Matthew announces that he is "in full working order"?

But both parties are engaged-so would she really say something?

Bossybritches22 · 28/10/2011 15:05

Mathew only pushed Mary away because he was unable to be a "proper husband" & he thought as she was off with Sir Cad, & he was with Lavinia that it was all over for them both. IYSWIM

Violet wants M&M to marry to keep all the lovely Crawley money AND property together.

Animation · 28/10/2011 15:56

I can't imagine that Matthew will announce he is "in full working order."

And how would he know for sure - it's early doors yet?

Animation · 28/10/2011 16:21

That's the best I can draw.Blush

ScatterChasse · 28/10/2011 16:28

Are naice boys even supposed to know about that type of thing?

lazarusb · 28/10/2011 16:40

Yes, naice boys are well educated by ladies of ill-repute doncha know? All part of becoming a man.
Maybe...if we are going to have some Spanish Fly Lord G will surprise us all and get it on with Thomas.
I'm sure Matthew is going to jump up in the air at dinner and shout "Look at my erection!" and promptly slap Lavinia round the face with it...

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 28/10/2011 17:16

what if he KNOCKS THE TABLE OVER n BRUISES IT?

What if it comes back with a crick in?

lazarusb · 28/10/2011 17:23

Maybe Carson can swaddle it for him in advance..

Bossybritches22 · 28/10/2011 17:42

Raising the dead eh lazarus ?? Grin

MarthasHarbour · 28/10/2011 17:57

was Olivia pissed last night? Hmm

looking forward to seeing Matthew's cock on Sunday night. psychic make sure your mouse is well oiled with tomato ketchup Grin

(off topic but waves to Norfolk - i namechanged recently from summerbird - you and me went off to infiltrate and wind up NetHuns for a laugh a while back, just coz we were bored! think we threw a couple of naughty words for good measure)
