Downton Abbey anyone

[CMP69]

Or am I just an old gimmer with a period drama fetish

Exactly pindorasbox!!

I also find it hard to believe that it was anal sex Chub why are mners so obsessed with it anyway. Was sodomy even legal anyway? I suppose we'll never really get to the bottom of it. No pun intended again.

I think sodomy between a man and woman only became legal at the end of the 20th century. However, I doubt he would have checked first.

It wasn't anal.

I don't understand the MN obsession with anal either? I haven't been able to eat sweetcorn again, after reading a thread on bumsex.

Were the circumstances in which he died common knowledge? If not ,who did know? I can't remember all the details. How did she get help when he was collapsed on top of her?

I've just watched the whole of series 1 in the last two evenings. By the end of the series it was accepted as true by pretty much most of London society but no one had actually broken ranks so far as to print it in a newspaper. I think the outbreak of war saved Mary's reputation tbh - it all got lost in the frenzy of war related activity.

I have to say having watched the first series again for the first time since it was on (three, four years ago?) that it was perfect in every respect. I don't actually think it is less good now we are just spoiled.

As for the mechanisms of how she pushed him off her, I don't think she did. She tried to rouse him and then panicked and tried to move him and couldn't.

In the house the only people who didn't know wee her father and Sybil. Matthew didn't know and nor did his mother but all the servants knew and the rest of her family.

Sunday has come around again.

Hurrah. Mary will either have snogged branston or had a proposal from a random by the end of the episode. Possibly both.

Just caught up on last weeks episode - and think it's going alright.

And way to go Cora! the way she dealt with the nanny.

Agree Mary and Branston look like they might get it on - aww - her crying scene was a heart breaker - good acting.

And yes - gorgeous Edith dress in the restaurant!

Yay, at the ready

Pleased to see the dogs arse back tonight.

Well I managed to catch up this week so I'm looking forward to this weeks

There's Something In The Box!!!

Season opener never has dogs arse

Oh yes she's only 35 obviously she can't open her own post.

Granny talking sense as usual.

George wasn't born when he wrote it so he wasn't exactly planning in excluding his male heir. He'd probably have changed it if he were still alive!

tempted to call for nanny and have you put to bed

Is this the same guy that turned up at some point in s1 (I think) demanding money from Carson?

Depends when he wrote it. It's not a case of excluding the child, but wanting his wife to have control of their affairs.

Poor Mosley.

Six months to pack up an office. Blimey

Still don't understand why he wrote some daft letter instead of a will. Unless it's just a love letter.

Bloody awful her dad opened her post.

Yes it is fucking feeble. You daft floppy haired twat.
