Blow up stag? Or would antlers be a bit faffy?

Sorry been out on the wine tonight and just got in, read but didn't get to last page!. Yes NVM send the report. Just to say, this is confirmation that I (we) are completely bonkers, but in a nice way, not a scary way!

Nooo - I don't want to think about either blow up stag or Molly, they'd be squeaky!

No measuring of CJ I'm afraid. I couldn't possibly even attempt that without Orphan! I made a promise, you on one end and me on the other!

NVM and I had a day trip today, in stealth mode, under the radar and visted Upton Park home of MD and West Ham ground!!! Yes completely mad!

NVM is brilliant at writing and as you can see I am crap and had a few wines tonight, so detailed, report should be on its way.

Hahahaha, you two have certainly gone above and beyond this time!

My goodness. Decompression is a long way off for you both then?

Can't wait to hear full details. ( richtea Glad to hear the measuring pact is still on - we'll fight about who gets the top end nearer the time..!)

Orphan, incorrigible ! We could take turns?

Oi! Behave! I go out for a night, and you open a new thread and already 59 posts??? :-)
(I was interviewed at the end of the event- I was too flustered to insert a OGism even if a "this mass of white haired cockwombles!" would have been fit. Gosh the amount of men in black tie, none of which deserving a second glance....)
drbunsen you are Ace!! It's soooo funny. And yes, if it was caramel sauce I'd definitely lick if. Even Nutella. Don't like peanut butter but on the right jaw I may accept to compromise :-)

Sad face....happy face

nappy and richtea wow! That is above and beyond!
Have you got photos? Was there any other OG fans around
I am in awe. In the words of CJ 'that was fcuking awesome!'

Morning everyone! Great photos and exploits to wake up to. Waiting in anticipation for nvm's report!

I feel inordinately proud that my mental image of BA as deer in the headlights has blossomed into such a well-developed specimen (ahem).

Oh and I watched the entire first series of The Fall yesterday. Plus the first episode of Series 2. Serial killers definitely don't do it for me. It's not the looks necessarily; it's very much the character! That's why BA out of CJ is just another good-looking man (sorry Ben). Although maybe, just maybe, it's the uniform...

Do we think NVM has gone to ground? She's certainly trying to build the anticipation.

Morning all. Good pics icemist sad face made me laugh. He does look a bit of a 'Charlie' in that one.

monopod I agree, serial killers don't have the phwoaar factor. Dornan just seems uber creepy in it, even when he's not doing the serial killer bits. What do you think of the teen babysitter? Her behaviour with him in season 2 ep1 was really bizarre, I thought.

richtea You are clearly a better person than me - taking turns is obviously the solution. (As long as I can have longer at the top)

icemist - I think I have failed one of the exam questions above. I can't recognise which scene or even episode the sad face is in?

Icemist, another excellent morning photo, thank you. Yes NVM has photos of MD house and stadium. No other OG fans, but then are we surprised as none of us can find any RL people who have watched and are fans like us (well no one is like us!)

Another day of cross country standing in a field for no1 DS. London youth games at Hampsted Heath so at least a better venue.

Bought the original OG on iTunes last night, so my treat later is so snuggle up and watch that, followed by my favourite CJ moments!

Richtea - interested to hear what you think of the original OG. I was quite surprised when I watched it last night (should have been keeping it for my recovery next week but couldn't wait). Her father is really horrible - he's a much more watered down version in the series. As for Molly herself, she is also more toned down in the series - she's even more mouthy in the original. Very glad she got rid of the bleached blonde hair too.

richtea you are in my kinda-home-territory! I may persuade DF to scamper along the fields of the Heath in the afternoons!! Albeit, I must admit, I don't envy DS or yourself, you'll get home caked in mud up to your ears. I hope you have cling-filmed all of the car backseats....(or you can get him to the dogwash station of the Spaniards Inn...)

Morning all!

Iloveblue I think possibly sad face is in episode 1 on the walk up to checkpoint - just from vague memory of course. Although not entirely sure about that one!

Have managed one OGism today already to DD

"Give the dog a bit of toast and he will adore you for always!" which passed without any odd looks being cast in my direction. (By the way I do know that bread isn't good for dogs but you've got to allow it on this occasion)

This follows previous success informing her that her athletics coach wants her to "Stay focused, stay alert and be brilliant!" (I didn't think alive appropriate in the context so took some slight liberties) This was met with a smile in reply. I think that I have now managed to integrate these phrases into my everyday conversation so well that should my DC's ever watch OG they will think TG copied the expressions from me!

nvm and richtea, love you are going on secret missions, truly above and beyond! Can't wait to see the after action report.

ilove I think the sad pic is when smurf is back from being shot and nude nut checks out the rocks, and smurf says something about 'I will be able to resume my duties' .... Oh boy, definitely watching this way too much (or an. Just claim a good memory?!) ...

Will also be stuck in a field this morning watching football and trying to keep the littlies off the pitch, at least it's not raining!

Cherin, come and do a run by! Don't want to be caked in mud! DS got mini bus early and we are going up by train and I was hoping to do a little shopping on the way home! I will be wearing a pink coat!

Oh good work NVM and Richtea. Full report please.

I read somewhere that BA is actually doing a reading at the carol concert. You'll get the face and the voice

Pray it will stay pink ;-)
Until what time will you be there? North or south of the Heath?

Let me share my morning amusement....

It will be the pink coat with brown spots up the back! We are meeting by the bandstand. Should be there until 2ish

Words can't express Cherin. Now was he your muse or CJ or a bit of both?
