The Honourable Thread of Downton Abbey - The Third

[Moln]

Who filled up the last thread? Hmm?

All I wanted to say was Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

No!! I don't like him and he's a pants actor.

Yes let Bates get his former goodness back and help Thomas!!

Big girls blouse!?

"Big girls blouse" might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Lord 6 is about to come in and shout 'WAZZUP' and Cora declare the cricket match 'the shizzle'.

Is Jimmy actually gay and in denial maybe? If Thomas tops himself I'm going to be most displeased!

Edith is wearing a fake tie!

Lol trib.

I think Thomas is on the edge. Dunno what the woods thing was about.

Also Matthew said 'you had stuff to sort out' aswell. Didn't sound quite right either!

Bates is way better looking painting.

I've just looked up the origin of Big Girl's Blouse, and it seems to date from the 1960s. ROFL at "the shizzle"

I thought Mary would be doing up a surprise nursery before 3pm.

But now I think the Tyrk probably gave her an STD.

Tyrk? Turk.

Yes Big Girls Blouse and also the taxi driver saying 'on Greek St'. Saying on a street is a relatively recent American import. Until a few years ago it was 'in' a street, eg 'I went shopping in the Fulham Rd' or 'her office was in Park Lane'.

I don't think the woods bit was anything ominous surely? I think Thomas was just dwelling on the fact that Bates now has the kind of life that Thomas should have, if only he was straight.

Well I believe some characters are leaving but I would like hot Thomas to stay and if he does leave it had better not be suicide!

Every week I yearn to dab some blusher on Mary's peaky cheeks.

Jjust looked up big girls blouse too there's some specualtion it entered in to language in Northen England in the 1840s along with shirty, though as girl's shirt.

If the turk gave her an std wouldn't it have been picked up by now? That was years ago now, way before the war. Plus they never had full sex either did they?

Wow, the Lord actually just made a very funny joke.

The soap, the soap!

What operation could Mary have had?

Why do they keep saying 'stuff'?

Her tubes?

Its got to be the soap incident! Its got to be!!

Loving the suitably ominous music.

Dread to think what op Mary might have had, 1920s medicine has not done a great job in this series
