Sorry DH

firegirl · 26/11/2014 16:31

NO! Mean DD!! Can't type!

Omg, CJ as a marauding killer zombie, dressed in nothing but those stag pants... That would be a horror film.

Ilovelblue · 26/11/2014 17:03

Richtea - I only managed to clear the screen in time when my boss came to remind me we had a 1 to 1 session straight after lunch (I had forgotten in fact). Inappropriate use of the internet may have come up if he'd seen that picture! It was gross by the way!

cherin · 26/11/2014 17:14

Maybe we should agree a kind if warning...instead of spoiler alert, something like "embarrassing man material alert"!!

Ilovelblue · 26/11/2014 17:23

Have you all noticed that since Monday night, we are now a quarter of the way through our 1000 message allowance? SPO is this a record?

icemist · 26/11/2014 17:28

I thought there were a lot of talking going on.
Poor BA will have tons to read should he ever visit us.

And it can't be summarised!
Dear Ben, we really liked your show. We associated you with a stag, draw you with a stag head, proposed to assault you with measuring tapes (soft type only!), imagined you could be a zombie wearing stag-shaped underpants, and essentially searched the market for any army piece or gadget that could remind us of you....

cherin · 26/11/2014 18:34

I surely forgot something...well, we wrote limericks about your kissing technique, we developed theories about your fictional mother hairstyle, we booked trips to th hotel you used for filming etc etc
But believe us, we are just normal people, under this superficial appearance of madness!!!
;-)

icemist · 26/11/2014 18:59

When you write it like that.....
Nah we are perfectly sane people who have discovered a whole new world of tumblr, Twitter, forums, screenshots and fan fiction. Thanks for the amazing TV programme that encouraged us all

ilovelblue not sure about the thread but I can confirm that this is the second highest Monday to Wednesday total already and today isn't finished yet.

By the way am still working on the zombie story. Been a bit short of time but have noted all your suggestions!

Ilovelblue · 26/11/2014 19:40

Pixie yes I liked that fanfic link you posted. Trouble was, I started to read it about 5pm in work. Bad move! Just read it again where I can appreciate it more!

Ilovelblue · 26/11/2014 19:44

Postscript to Ben's letter: and as well as all those good things, you have really improved our IT skills!

cherin · 26/11/2014 19:51

And let's not forget the attitude to sport (at least 2 people have started running, right? And one lost weight just because of the time devoted to forum instead of food! The OG diet!!)

+One hair colour change declared (albeit not acknowledged by the partner, which is frankly depressing...you sure??)

  • 1 job application sent
  • multiple attempts at improving in different, individual ways, which is Amazing!
Rhubarb01 · 26/11/2014 20:19

Hi all

Keeping up but late contributing again.

Just to add to the list, someone actually got a new job, too. Sorry, I can't remember who it was as it was two threads ago. But thanks to OG members have improved both their career prospects and finances!

icemist · 26/11/2014 20:53

new chapter in this one www.fanfiction.net/s/10846064/1/Looking-forward enjoying this one where CJ and Molly are not together, but probably will be by the end. Different take on them from the usual still together/get engaged/get married/have a baby that a lot seem to write

Richtea DH has just had to come over and slap me on the back, fearing that I was actually choking to death on my Satsuma.....which I was, because I just came face to face with THAT photo! Hilarious, DH is now just looking at me in complete....I'm not really sure, despair?

Dear Ben

I know I've been thinking constantly about what you and the series have done for us, but your exhortations to stay focused, stay alert and stay alive have taken on a different meaning for me in the past few days because if I am not careful and am caught reading this thread in working time with all my colleagues around me, I could well be committing professional suicide!

I blush if anyone sees me drooling over one of your photos (especially with the low slung belt) and am often heard laughing out loud and having to turn the laughs into coughs. I do not want my P45 to end up on my desk.

I think there are several others on here who might agree with me too.

Yours etc

Nickel45 · 26/11/2014 21:57

Indeed, ilove, nicely put!

Love the summary to Ben of what we've been up to, even though it makes us sound beyond mental, or wot! Hope you enjoying this, Ben! Wink

Well, had an exhausting evening running some not very well disciplined cubs round the compound (better known as the scout hut), so off for some scoff!

apsara03 · 26/11/2014 22:13

DH has gone to bed so am enjoying episode 1 on the TV -so nice to have CJ on the big screen. Has anyone noticed that when she's doing his blisters n MS says about smurf that he saved her arse in the ditch, CJ cops a quick looks at her bum Wink
unsuccessful mission to sainsbury to source stag pants - the women of Nottingham n derby have to make do with Xmas puddings or scotty dogs Sad

Richtea19 · 26/11/2014 22:13

Crap night. I've pranged my car on a bloody bollard, miles away from home. Called DH, who was horrid to me. I'm now waiting for breakdown cover to tow me home and I need a wee. When I have really good days, like today which was such fun, it's horrid when reality kicks in and you are back to RL. Sorry feeling sorry for myself :(

Ilovelblue · 26/11/2014 22:15

Richtea - cars can be mended. Are you ok though? Not hurt?

Nickel45 · 26/11/2014 22:19

richtea, that's crap, hope you are ok?

Have a read through today's posts again, and have a good chuckle to yourself. Hope the breakdown come soon.

Smurfingreat · 26/11/2014 22:19

What a rubbish end to your day Richtea, hope you are ok and sorry that your car might gonna need a mechanic. Flowers
