Hi all

Just checking in. Still here but super busy. Nice work everyone. Carry on regardless!

Over and out.

I have one pen sketch of the arms-folded stance, done yesterday at a meeting under disguise. (I had to pretend I was doodling as the art teacher explained, holding the pen just from the tip, loose wriggles, never lifting point from paper...luckily the cold is a perfect excuse to sit far away from others, so chances of someone spotting antlers or combat trousers bulge are fairly small.)
((Or so I hope))
((( ut my industry is very busy right now, am fairly confident that I would not be out of work for long if I was sacked. "Figaro qui, figaro li, figaro su, figaro giù...sono il factotum della città"...)))

Can't stop wondering what minimising underwear would look like. I know Mormons wear special underwear (google it if you don't know what I mean) but not sure it would do the job. You would need some sort of compressing fabric I suppose. Must stop thinking about this!

My sons running tights are called "Skins" they describe them as compression tights. I don't know about minimise, they certainly don't leave anything to the imagination!

cherin it is offical, you are totally bonkers, and for that, we love you!

Am in public at the moment so don't feel I can Google Mormon underwear just now.
As for thespian minimising pants, I'm thinking theywould involve thick surgical like bandaging. (Or maybe they just employed the 'tuck'
technique, if you know what I mean.

Yes dp has running tights and they certainly don't minimise. ..

Just googled morman underware.... Sort of "pouchy". They wouldn't do the trick of minimising, the tuck under technique would be more successful.

The morman underware looks like it would be more maximising.. A special place for it to go!

Not liking words undertuck, pouching, compression or minimising where CJ is concerned. Words like exaggerate, push-up, enlargement or swollen are much more suitable/fitting. Ah yes, fitting - there's another one that's comfy.

Minimiser bras work by squashing your boobs laterally. Which means they can only really go in your armpits, making it impossible to have your arms by your sides. The same principle applied to the male crotch area would probably make it impossible to walk.

I wonder if we'd be able to recognise CJ in a line up purely from his bulge?

pixie didn't someone say on an earlier thread that CJ had a slight bow legged walk? Hope it wasn't down to wearing minimising underwear... Maybe I've got it wrong and it's poor CJ who's forced to wear the constrictive pants due to a petition signed by the other cast members (unfortunate term considering the subject matter). If so, I have to say the minimising isn't working...

pixie and bloody uncomfortable in meantime as well as probably pushing your voice a few octaves higher!

I certainly would look forward to a Bulge Line-Up to test my knowledge of every nook and cranny of CJ's combats. All those hours of freezing the DVD at certain points can now be explained away as purely for research purposes of course.

It might explain the stern face and legs apart stance though.

I'm a mardy cow when my undies are uncomfortable.

Hope having to wear the minimisers doesn't influence his decision to do another series. The Facebook group need to change the focus of their campaign: put pressure on the rest of the cast to rescind their petition forcing BA to wear the pants.

Saw this particularly "strong and in control looking" stag on a Christmas card. Nothing minimal about him and I must say I'm rather distressed about anything to do with CJ being minimised. I prefer him in all his 6ft3 loveliness -not sure I making BAs height up or whether I've read it somewhere during extensive research.

orphan is this the FB Anonymous group? The other Our Girl one is beginning to bug me as they can't even get Ben Aldridge's name spelled correctly! (Would we on here make that mistake - I think not!) I wonder if it's approved by the BBC or just something a group of individuals have sorted out between them? They were advertising for an administrator for the group a couple of weeks ago.

apsara - sure I read it he was 6'2" but hey, what's an inch here or there!

I wonder what people think when they see women randomly taking pictures of stags and stag related items?

apsara lovely example of strong stag. I

SPO what have you done to me. I have just watched Ep3, CJ bits only, and in the hospital when sohail is "going off" I can only think of Zombie FanFic!!!

Plenty examples of low slung combats and bulge at the end of Ep3 when they leave thr FOB. I can't seem to freeze frame quick enough though. I suggest a viewing. Also I forgot how pretty MD is, she has the most gorgeous freckles and fresh looking skin.

Yes aspara CJ should never be minimised! (I'm making placards to that effect at this very moment) I suspect Major Morley of leading the campaign against CJ. He's probably become twisted by having to suppress his own desire for CJ and wanted to minimise CJ's bulge in case it drove him to acts of unbounded lust...
Oh dear, I think I'm managing to confuse my own very warped fantasies, SPOs equally warped story line and reality. I need help.

Time to fess up. I saw the cards yesterday when shopping with a friend, immediately started ferreting in my bag for my phone, to a look of utter bemused on my friend's face. Decided it was too complicated/embarrassing to explain so mumbled something about checking I'd got my phone and went back today to take photo. Obviously need more covert ops training

I had to watch ep 3 today (sorting out a play list for dh to put onto cd), and thought exactly the same, richtea. the end of the ep isn't quite as loving when you are imagining what might be coming back through the door!! Love it!!!!!

That's my TV viewing tonight plans on hold. Must watch ep 3

Will upload our fan fiction once boys in bed. Will do spos in chapters. Will add links when all done.
I feel like having a celebratory glass of something sparkling

icemist you are really very clever. I might have to join you on the something sparking, even though I haven't done anything!

That was sparkling!
