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.

Hilarious!!

IamShe can you get me some too? bottle of merlot and some galaxy - ta

cant-be arsed to go out in this rain

Ok beverage and confectionary of choice all round, my treat.

awesome - make that a decent bordeaux then [hwink]

Only just seen this, LOVE it! Best bit for me was 'two episodes ago you had cancer and we were best friends'.

Refreshment-wise, I am being inspired by the elegance and panache of the age, and I have jammy doughnuts and Orange Truffle Baileys.

praps we should get Mrs Patmore round to cook - not Ethel though - she is dirty

I liked the way pickle says "Lady Sybil agrees with me", as that's pretty much what her character was reduced to this series. I'd be surprised if she's had more than ten lines. She must have really pissed Julian Fellowes off.

Boffy that was hilarious, how do you find them??

I'm ready for tonights episode. I have my carbonara, I have my chocolate cake and I have my very classy bottle of £2.99 echo falls.

All is well. Bring on the drama.

I've just watched last week's episode.

Matthew and Bates need to stay away from the catering vans.

Matthew is getting on my tits. Just run the bloody farms already.
Perhaps it's comfort eating

Would read through whole thread but must go and banish DH and new baby from living room so I can have my one sacred hour of the week :o Ahhhhh, Downton!

I'm glad they're allowing Anna to look prettier in this series, a bit less freshly scoured.

Matthew seems to have lost weight again since last week

disgusting - Lord C is suggesting Bates goes cottaging with him

Dowager has too much eye make up.

ROFL at "Stay in bed, Bates, read books!"

Yeah, cos he hasn't had much time for that in prison, has he?

Poor Ethel walking past a baby. Do you think the dowager is softening?

Lord C or G?

Poor Bates probably had enough of that in prison.

G sorry

I am fed up with Bates being back at the house already

Ciaran was a very unusual name in those years. Most Irish men born in the 1890's/1900's had English names such as Thomas, Joseph, James, William.

Irish names came back in vogue in the 71970's/80's.

Why would Thomas listen to anything O'Brien would say?

Poor Thomas

Can't watch!
