richteaam just checking to see if the name 'Codpieces R Us' is taken. If not, we're in business! And our first customer is... now who could we possibly think of?

Looks promising :)

ilove, sounds like you had a fun day!!! Is it a massive do tomorrow? Hope it goes well, sounds fun.

Been looking on youtube as can't download onto work lap top, some admin thing! It is the same reign that's on there, isn't it? That's my evening sorted, watching through there, just to see what it's like of course, and waiting for the after action report if anyone gets to watch it.

Have fun everyone who is out tonight

I'm on my mobile (waiting out for DS from running club, my life is so exciting, not!) so I can't see the picture from Reign but will check out when I'm back. Rather frustrating that I can't get it to play on iPad or laptop. It opened up a suspect looking window that looked like it would lead me to porn! Quickly shut it down as don't want to get into trouble, or more than I'm normally in!!!!

ILove, how fun to have a big event at work, with a compare to! Lucky you. You will have to suggest a duet and get him to swing the microphone, you can dream it's CJ!

Orphan, perhaps Icemist could set up a CJ collective web page with links to FF and a merchandising page where you could buy, stag stuff, paddling pools, biros (zombie FF merchandise), Prints from Cherins original artwork and of course a range of low slung combats and codpieces!!!!!

going to watch in the morning if no working link tonight.

the vidzi link seems to be ok. so I have got EP10 playing. And he's definitely in it as his name is on credits 'phew' didnt want it to be wild goose chase of sorts

Richtea I feel another pitch to Dragon's Den might be necessary to get funding for the online business and merchandising. You have to watch out for the one who tries to break every item to check its robustness. Make sure the antlers are fit for purpose - whatever that might be.

I would love to have the skills to set up a webpage but that is far beyond my capabilities :)

FF-ing to where BA appears (not in the 1st 15 mins anyway)

37 mins in before he appears!!

not sure about the tight leather trousers, but operation bulge might be successful will try and get some screenshots

Ooh icemist loving that Reign photo and plenty of thoughts of codpieces. Do they do sword fights? Now THAT could compete with combats...white lacy shirt slashed to the navel, billowing open as he thrusts...big hands clutching his cutlass. Perfect.

just under 2 mins he's in it for.Need to listen to it now (have it on mute cos hubby sat beside me)

vidzi.tv/4yopbkb0msg6.html

this is the link I used, not sure if it works for everyone, but does work on my iphone as well as laptop

cjwoof you made me laugh out loud, making suspect my assertion that I'm catching up on current affairs. If iloves elderly friend caught sight of the phrase 'clutching his cutlass' she'd have a coronary...

apparently, its quite a gory series, was lots of torture etc in previous episodes.
he is rather yummy in it- much better than all the pre-Our Girl stuff!! and dare I say it, running very close to CJ - combats maybe replaced periodically with a loose fitting shirt and tight black leather trousers

I've got it working, had to go in separate room from everyone else becAuse the thought of tight leathers and un buttoned shirt, swords, cutlis, codpiece..... I'm going all unnecessary!! Have to say it's a very handsome cast!!

Have a look

the 'bulge' exhibit is too dark, will try again tomorrow at some point.

Just catching up ladies (and SPO if he's lurking, even if he's not going to post for a while). So much seems to have happened today.

icemist you could work for MI5! Not had the chance to look at the link you sent and a bit worried about whoever said a virus came up but I will try to look later. Historic dramas aren't always "my bag" but I guess I could make an exception for BA. Do we think this could be a long term project for him? I still harbour a yearning for a second series of OG.

Beingfrank. Hang in there, it's horrible. The waiting is just awful. At least you're getting in to see somebody quick. I definitely agree with not looking on the internet for your symptoms. A firend of mine is a GP and he says it's so irritating when people come in, having self-diagnosed at home. I feel for you and hope it all works out ok. You've got us to sound off to. We'll always listen.

Re our event at work tomorrow, I usually find it quite fun but have found it really hard going this year and it's because I've spent far more time obsessing about CJ and checking into this thread! Eeeeek. When my compere was swinging his mic and talking about the duet, I couldn't even remember CJ's duet with MD. I had totally forgotten the song. How ridiculous is that - after all, I've only watched it about 40 or 50 times! I can assure you there will be no duet with me tomorrow and Dangles will not be on the keyboard! (It will be a CD of Christmas music that's all).

Best get on - need to finish off 3 dozen mince pies.......

xx

Too many pretty women in Reign :( also the actress that was one of the children in Narnia is in it. The older wingey one. Hope BA doesn't get distracted and comes back to us?

one of the women, I recognise her face, think she might have been in Neighbours or Home & Away years ago.

Cast are all far too pretty

Ooh, icemist, thank you! Have to say, he looks hot! Imagining tight leather trousers, open shirt, operation bulge ... Hope you stayed focussed, alert and ... impressed?

What was his character like, and do you know if he's in other episodes? Surely he can't be in Canada for all this time for 2 mins of film??

Right, back to littlies floor, she still isn't asleep ... How can a four year old need less sleep than me?!

Looks promising, yes!! Is it the facial hair, that makes him so much better than in lowrise? Must watch, but RL is very much in the way, I am drained of all energies and also have a big corporate Xmas do tomorrow . No karaoke, luckily, but something long and far away and requiring a "sleepover", which is not exactly my kettle of fish....puff puff pant pant. The time if the year when I am really exhausted.

So sorry for the health scare, I really hope things get sorted out very quickly and peace of mind returns well before Xmas. Internet can be a dark place to be (unless its here, amongst crazy friends)
...
Will the merchandise comprise soft measuring tapes, novelty pants, snotty masks and paddling pools with inflatable, bulging, stag-headed captain?

he's in the next episode. they do this bizarre thing of having a mid-series break in the states and canada, so it may not be back on again till mid/end Jan (i'd have forgotten what the heck happened last)

If it is just 2 episodes, it makes me think they were rather impressed with him and have written him into more episodes. I think it might be that, as he had to let the charity down and I'm sure he wouldn't have agreed to do the charity knowing he would be away filming.

orphan I will be seeing my elderly friend on Monday. She's a retired teacher - been pondering on whether to tell her about our foray into fanfiction. She doesn't have access to the internet so won't be able to check up on us but on the other hand, her daughter will have. I am not keen on her daughter and don't want her to pry. Think I will have to keep it to myself.
