Capital! That would be perfect!
(I think incognito is enough...incognito online is a bit too long ;-) too much to embroider on a black baseball cap! )

Ok so now l just have to find a still of CJ swinging the mic...for the stag, I can bring my faithful silly LED light
(If they check my hand luggage tomorrow, I may want to disappear)

Anyway: I doubt that BA will fly cattle class like me at the crack of dawn, or late evening on the way back. But just in case, it is Gatwick and I promise I'll keep my eyes open. Fairly sure that most Canadian flights are from Heathrow, anyway...:-)

Seen your tweet icemist. Would be great if TG replied.

Hello apsara03 glad you have loved it like so many of us! Actually quite jealous of your trip in one of those planes!

monopod...yep definitely same place.

I haven't got the DVD yet so I'm watching it recorded from the TV...is it possible for them to be so different? I hear "we're nearly there"...

Can anyone that happens to be on Twitter please retweet it ( or whatever you have to do-I still don't get it!) and hopefully he will answer me!

monopod it was a debate on one of the previous threads so research was initially from iplayer and I thinkbthe general consensus was "we're". Then we all found the scripts which were "you're" and it was all up in the air again. I checked the DVD when that arrived and I still think it's "we're".

Pixie, slightly jealous of the Hama beads. Both my DS's haven't a creative bean in their bodies and have never been into anything like that. Maybe I could get my creative fix from a bit of sewing (I'm handy on a sewing machine). Maybe I could embroider MonoPods Logo onto a Tshirt?, Cross Stich binka square? Or binka bookmarks (I remember doing those at primary school)

Iheart how exciting about your first mission! Hope you get a response.

SPO love the strapline, incognito is good as so far, anyone in RL I have mentioned this too thinks I am completley deluded.

Welcome apsara !

Ah:
Welcome apsara, did you really manage to read all of the 3300 posts?? Blimey! Your sight is not that bad ;-)

And the hamabead stag is amazing. I want it. Not sure I am ready to introducing Hama beads in the house (with DS2 being a wilder version of Mowgli....) but I may do it in secret...when the kids are asleep...mummy explores a new creative medium...
(I confess I also like felting and I would be able to felt relatively quickly if I had a stag cookie cutter...but I only have a moose! CJ is most definitely NOT a moose!!)

Think (can't be sure!) I've retweeted iheart

Cherin how long is your flight? I'm thinking a proper army style cap badge needs to be designed, we have our emblem (with or without swinging microphone) and a motto. I wondered about our nickname, we could be the under 50s, over 20s............."the old enough to know betters"

I am so chuffed my attempts at bold have worked! That's two new IT skills I have learned because of this thread. The other is deleting browsing history

can't be OG anonymous as thats the crazy group on Facebook that agent ihearttc has infiltrated is a member of

iheart favorited and retweeted !

WE are the 3rd most active thread on MN...

Wow, don't think I've ever been in the top 3 of anything! Shall I put that on my CV?! :)

I'd hire you richtea then I'd have someone in RL to talk to about OG/CJ

...scary thought: if it wasn't for SPO, we could name ourselves The Belindas, as I suspect we could all be mothers of a (nominally) 19yo.
Yeeeeuuuurgh!!!
(SPO, thanks for existing)

Yes yes, you're right cherin, incognito is enough. Because this spills over into RL too ;)

apsara03 welcome to the madness!

I redid the logo. Because it's a free one I can only download the low-res one... does anyone want a high-res version; would you actually print it on your mugs/baseball caps/etc. for Christmas?

Just catching up ... Working really gets in the way of me enjoying this! Love the inventiveness today, fab logos, strap line, hama beads, etc.
ilove glad everything went ok today, hope you are full to busting with hospital drugs.
icemist amazed we are third most active, how can more people be talking about the apprentice and my dog bit my friend ....really?!? Hmm .... Compared to CJ?!?
Anyway, had to tell you I nearly called my boss 'boss man' today, oops ... !!

iloveblue glad all went well. Hope you are recuperating with double dose of CJ. (Remember you are hard core..!)
I'm so pleased our numbers are growing - welcome aspara.

Ooh just seen that the FB group is called OG Anonymous. Tsk, we definitely need a different name then. SPO's strap line can still stand.

nickel laughing out loud about calling your boss BossMan. Getting looks from DH as apprentice is on!

Evening everyone, so much to catch up on tonight.

Richtea and NVM is that really true about the concert? I feel gutted and I couldn't even make it myself. We were all relying on you as our representatives.....boo!

Welcome aspara, great that this thread is still very much alive and kicking and attracting new members.

I'm excited to report that I managed a "You do not bring personal onto the battlefield" at work today. Can't really say in what context unfortunately, but it was very fitting for the moment (although did bring looks of confusion from some and guffawing from those in the know!). Was very pleased with myself though. It felt good!

:) it could have been very embarrassing! Luckily we get on well, but not sure I could have explained that one away ....!

nickel does your boss bear any similarities to the real BossMan?

Nice one stressybird, no idea how you managed that, but classic!
