At least Fantasy TV Men Aren't Wankers! Musketeers Appreciation Thread XI

[MalcolmTuckersMistress]

Is Constance pregnant? Is Anne pregnant? Who is in that coffin? Why is Aramis's chin so very shiny? Will Richelieu go out with a bang?

So many questions. Enough of the plot now! The most important one still remains. Just WHO would you chose first?

Please join us on what could be the last thread of the series (depending on how much we can fit in between now and Sunday night!)

We've had a lot of fun here, and it's never too late to join in!

Part one

part two

part three

part four

part five

part six

part seven

part eight

part nine

part ten

Oh stop, you are making me blush and get carried away with lifelong ambition to do something creative, with genes that always tell me I'll never be good enough anyway, so lets get practical instead.

But maybe, just maybe, you lot are pushing me to have a look into it regardless. This is the start of a whole new chapter in my life anyway, is it not? So fuck it, maybe I'll take on the literary world too!

I will name check all of you in my first masterpiece, obviously. And we will all be bffs forever. Then when I start to move in swanky, glittery circles, I will take you everywhere, and you will all meet the t.v men of your dreams, who in turn, will all fall madly in love with each of you. And we'll all live happily ever after.

aw. Thanks wenches. Hannah... See I knew you'd like the sexy evil twin thing in the end.

DH just arrived home and predictably moaned about my wine.

Now The Voice is on and he said I need to remember that Musketeers is on. Yes because I was going to forget.

Mavis - Wedn is great for me.

We can just decamp to the the tavern can't we? As long as its linked early enough.

My accent is a bit of a chameleon. I am half Lunduner, half Irish. I have lived all over the place through fathers job.

I guess I'm probably a bit non accent. To me anyway But I tend to lean towards the accent of the company I am in.

I also have a very annoying habit of being Scottish, Welsh, Yorkshireman, Irish, for days at a time, just for fun. I have no idea why. Certain things just sound better in different accents [loon face]

[[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2040526-Emergency-Over-flow-thread-for-Musketeers-Appreciation-Thread-XI-so-part-XII-really-then here is an EMERGENCY THREAD just in case we all go completely mad]

22 minutes!!!

this this this stupid fucking fingers

but imagine us all in a room together. We can do our own bits, with a general idea from you hannah.

Please, who or whatever is in charge of Good Shit Happening, please make this happen.
I think post speeches now. I'm getting thoroughly over excited, know it will end in tears and I'm ovulating, so gagging.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I won't be here til after, or even tomorrow. But I will be squeezing everyone's hand as we finish this series together. You have no idea how great these threads have been, thank you, everyone for making me laugh for the first time in too long.
I'd forgotten what it was like having mates I could say anything to, thank you for that.
Thank you for opening my eyes and mind and educating me. ok, that's mostly anne tbh
Finally, mtm. If you hadn't started that first thread, if you hadn't been so fantastic at keeping the threads going, none of this would have happened. None of us would have been mates. none of it. Can any of us imagine life without this thread and each other now?

Ooh Malcolm, simultaneous post.

That plan definitely works for me Hannah.

Not sure about Wednesday, don't know which evenings DH will be out. Will confirm as soon as I know.

20 MINUTES TO GO - although I'll be a bit behind as usual due to an elder child with two speeds of slow and even slower.

Am getting ready for bed. I guess everyone else is running around getting shit done.

Quatre of un heure to go.

Twit give me some love, you can come for some Aramis fun when we are done with the deep and meaningful living tonight.

Lol, shall bring Porthos? And nibbles?

Im very excited. Not quite as excited as I was in the remaining count down to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special because I was SO excited that day my brain actually left my body because it couldn't cope any more and the entire day was spent like an out of body experience.

BUT

I am almost as excited as I was for the Ashes to Ashes season finale.

Right I'm off to open the Prosecco and get into position

please please please please please pleeeeaaaaaaaaee can there be a sexy cardinal farewell dual? Pleeeease?

I want to make a speech but am shit at this sort of thing, so will just say it has been great and looking forward to great times in the tavern. MTM it goes without saying that without you we would have no threads. Hannah I don't even know what to say without choking up - you are amazing and truly you should dabble and see what happens.

The rest of Team A. You have been brilliant and prolific linkers and researchers - inspired work with Twitter etc.

Stinkle just awesome.

Mavis and Oblomov should be thanked for their moral high ground.

The newbies have all proven their worth and I will get a round in in the tavern to celebrate.

Twit and Madame super string awesome wenches and Madame special thanks for bringing Spanish Santiago to the thread.

Drink - if it wasn't for you the thread would descend into chaos at thread change time.

Love you all.

Sparkle and Dog are coming too - it will be awesome.

15 minute warning!! I'm so slow at reading this thread but talking of accents, I've been described as having a half Essex/half South London accent (on a date a guy actually said I sounded like Amy Childs from TOWIE - needless to say he didn't get a second date!!) even though I'm actually from kent! But yes, I have a rather common high pitched accent, not exactly the most attractive.

Also even though I've lurked for a couple of weeks, all your lovely tributes to each other are just so sweet and if I was a bit more drunk I would be all emotional for you all!

Been told I sound Spanish but Spanish I am not.

Awww Twit - you actually nearly made me cry then

It has been a fantastic few weeks, talking absolute bollocks to a group of wenches night and day about Hot Men In Leather. Who have thought that first AIBU would spawn 11, almost 12 threads of largely inane and quite often alcohol fuelled nonsense. Special thanks must, of course, go to Malcolm whose single minded devotion to the Cardinal plus excellent thread management skills have steered a steady course through all ten episodes.

Thanks too to Anne for her first forays into post-it based spread sheets and of course to LetUsPrey for sheer quality of gifs.

There are too many to mention, each in her own special way, the perfect wench. There has been jostling for position on the chicken coop, and Porthos has probably not got all the attention he deserves and I appear to have got myself a Gretna based internet wife. Which was unexpected.

So now, with ten minutes to go I have to get the washing out of the dryer.

To the wenchiest wenches in the whole MN world.

I think we all need one of these

I might be able to muster some sort of speech, after the programme and after the Pimms, but for now thank you so much to all of you

Oi, anne

I brought Spanish speaking carbonara to the freds. Via tube.

Sorry

Thank you twit for Spanish carbonara. I luffs you so much for it and I am almost convinced to dump my first live of French for Spanish.

Madame then I thank for her fluency to translate interviews.

Drinking game! We need a drinking game!

See you on the other side wenches

Farewelllllllllllllllllllllll [sob]
