Is it healthy to want to lick someone's forearms just before the school run?Did I really just write that?

Morning all! Great pics again icemist In the terminology of my daughter, he really rocks that crossed arms stance.

With regards to positive effect of OG on our lives, dp and I have been out just ourselves(!) 3 times in the last ten days, which I can tell you is an achievement. I'm definitely making more of an effort to have time just for the two of us - it may be having a detrimental effect on our bank balance but we're enjoying it!

Ditto orphan finding time to do the things you enjoy is the key. DW and I have been trying to do that. Last night we played a game of scrabble together ( I know, mental or what!). But we were talking and laughing and not just slumped in front if the telly!

I tried to get some OG words in to my goes but just couldn't get the letters! Closest vaguely military word I got was 'sixer' which is the leader of a group of cubs or brownies!

That got me thinking about OG themed games. I thought of a variation on buckaroo where you have to carefully hang things on a figure of CJ (rifle, helmet, pistol, tape measure?) and if you jog him his arms shoot up into a folded stance and he knocks everything off. He would also shout 'put some bloody effort in' as he does it.

Anyway, sure you lot would have some better ideas. Now must get back to work!

Everyone has been so kind, thank you. Will update you tonight hopefully. No Afghan grime in this hospital I sincerely hope! Although I've contributed to all four of these threads, I've never really done it before (as I said last night), so it's probably naive of me to ask this but will some of the earlier contributors have fallen by the wayside do you think? Got fed up of us? Or will they be lurking in the shadows? Also wondered if SPO's spreadsheet could identify how many different contributors we have had in total? Those of us on here now do seem to be hardcore!

The only person I have told about this thread was the wife of the elderly person I visited on Monday. I knew she couldn't go on the internet to check me out! Had to laugh though. She said in a horrified voice 'Is it porn?' Good job I didn't explain the object of our discussions in more detail!

ilove "Is it porn?" made me laugh out loud! Answer: yes, in the deepest recesses of my mind (actually not that deep, quite near the surface in fact).

OK, so I need to stop checking this as soon as I get into the office - laughing out loud at the computer certainly dose not make me look very professional! You lot make me laugh, and I just had some very glaring stares! Oops! I now have a very strong impression of CJs forearms in my head (luckily none of the men in my office have forearms that warrant licking ... bleurgh!). Right, must look like I am doing some work ......

Exactly orphan but could you explain it to a rather strait-laced 81 year old?! In a fairly succinct (not four threads long) kind of way?

SPO great CJ-aroo idea. Of course my rather more base mind goes straight to a variation of 'pin the tail on the donkey'... (placing the mole on his side of course..)

I love scrabble. DP and I met at uni many moons ago and bonded over furiously competitive Scrabble games. We even made graphs of our scores which the cleaner threw out by mistake. Never really got over losing the record of my fantastic winning streak.

ilove Just realised you may have made a Freudian slip in referring to us remaining posters as 'hard core'!!

Just quickly read this mornings posts and as I scanned down saw Porn! That made me read properly!
Good luck ILove for today.

SPO I love the idea of a Buckeroo style CJ figure, what everyone needs for Christmas. Pin the Mole on the CJ sounds fun too!!!!

I am sure during the day we can all think up some more games, just don't mention Hard Core or Porn, do you think the dragons den would back any of these ideas? ;)

DH and I also play scrabble, the version you get online, sometimes takes us a week to take our turn!

I've been hanging around on Internet forums (fora?) for well over a decade and have met up with a number of people from them over the years. On the whole everyone I've met in real life have been really nice. I consider some people I only know online to be good friends.

I do like a nice set of forearms, so I shall concentrate on that idea as I wade through this rather dull spreadsheet and report.

I only post occasionally (usually when I've found a new smutty fanfic!) but I'm still keeping up. I have to say the thread has filled a gap left by leaving facebook a couple of months ago with much more interesting conversation and less narcissistic photos. I love it.

In other news you guys and CJ inspired me to do a run for the first time since having my little one and actually when I think about it, since before I got married a couple of years ago. I confess I didn't sprint the last 50 meters!

Would a modified version of Operation be a bit too close to the bone...

Hello everyone!! I'm back :-)

So sorry real life got in the way for a few days and then MN was playing up for some reason and wouldn't let me post.

Will try and catch up on thread- have I missed much?

ilove hope it goes ok at hospital.

Hi ihearttc, you might gonna need a comfy chair, hot cuppa and a long time to catch up .... enjoy!!

And some coco pops to keep me going!!

lloveblue - hope everything goes well today. Enjoy your OG fest when you get back home, maximum strength dose of CJ to be taken as and when required should do the trick

richtea that's a shame your RL friends don't understand and are worried for you. Don't they realise that you aren't in any danger by meeting any of us, as a love of CJ (and Molly) is an infallible indicator of complete normality. It's those who aren't obsessed that are the odd bods!

I am the bearer of bad news...apparently according to the FB group BA isn't attending the carol service. Don't know how true it is though.

galaxy if regular doses of CJ were available on request, I think we would all be addicts by now. Later, when the consultant says "think of something nice", it's CJ's forearms I will conjure up!

orphan 'hardcore wasn't totally unintentional.....

Nooooo!! I'm completely emotionally invested in Richtea and NVM going to the concert and reporting back! We need verification asap.

I know...me too :-(

Im afraid it definitely looks to be true. I had a look at the Carol Service page and it says Ben Aldridge and Andrew Johnson will not be attending.

NO!!!! Hope he hasn't been keeping up to date on this thread and we have scared him off !

Perhaps this is a plot from the FB group to maximise CJ for themselves? They just want to out people off?
NVM, I'm still up for it, if you are?

I wil still take all equipment, selfie stick, soft tape measure, binoculars, lip salve (I get dry lips).

Trying to be positive! :)

I suppose it means I can cancel my hair apt and leg wax!
