I am curious how to do them, think when they were on bbc iplayer was the ideal time to do it, but shall keep trying.

Another fave is "what's so fucking hilarious about Charles?". I love the way he says that line! I think you're right though richtea, it's all his lines that are the favourites...

Thanks guys for all your hugs, support and advice. I am in my union and have been advised that if they think I have a strong case they will back me for the tribunal but I have to register with ACAS first which I have done today. Unfortunately I worked for a government department so they will probably have quite a solid defence system. Also means I can't go back to doing anything similar as type of job I did is only done by them!
I quite welcome the idea of doing something different however it is difficult coming to terms with how little your employer thought of you after so many years and also that any potential employers will probably overlook the steady, consistent work record of 20 years and focus on the 'dismissed for gross misconduct' bit (I'd like to think you wouldn't believe they have called my actions that)
Anyway rant over, let's get back to what this thread is about.
Favourite look of CJ is the one he gives Molly before they get in the armoured vehicle back to Bastion after discovering she went to Newport.
Also loving 'What If' - very talented writer, can't remember if Lolagirl has 'fessed' up to being one of us.

nickel glad you've finally managed to open it! I'm still only up to ep 3. I don't like watching it with anyone else around now - I find I can't give it the proper, full, undivided attention it needs unless I'm on my own!

Also like "Dawes, go!! I need...that...bloody coffee!" when he really doesn''t want her to leave for R&R, sigh.

All this lines reminiscing has put me in the mood to read some good QS. Might gonna read all 10 chapters of Jens masterpiece tonight!!

I have got ep 5 downloaded, will make a little video of our fave bits, its a little time consuming and will need to be done when the kids are in bed- think it will need to go on youtube though. need to look at the website elsie linked to last night for the gif's

might as well do the whole restaurant scene as one video

I SHOULD NOT BE READING THIS IN WORK! Now I just want to go home and watch the DVD from the start again!

Survived day 1 at work

Have to say, you lot are making me want to watch the restaurant scene all over again. I don't know why, but the look on his face when she is laughing about luring her back when he says "what's funny?" absolutely kills me. Such good chemistry between them in that scene.

Really like the new fanfic you all mentioned - love the different angle.

hi, icemist if you take a look at the gifs, I'll see what I can do with the audio. I've got the eps on itunes and I've got a idea of how to sort some audio clips, so leave it with me

will have a look at the make a gif thing later. Would be fab to have a soundbite with all our fave lines though

oh and while we're chatting about the restaurant scene, I actually think people may be able to spy a tiny coldsore I'm sad for checking i know but more obvious when the camera switches to the angle at the point he says "I love you"

This bit...(see pic)

Ooh I'm sooo excited at the prospect of "good bits", thank you icemist and elsie that's above and beyond

oh SPO if you're lurking, there's been a few incidents today that we'll give you (no charge) for your latest FF!

I offer up on behalf of the group...

• ironing based injuries
• cold sore spotting

anymore for anymore....?

restaurant scene

need to go and make tea- and make a note of what lines everyone wants. Should be able to make then a video/gif (tomorrow night's project) of them all

Oops icemist , so busy watching your restaurant scene on the bus home that I missed my stop! Nice to have it so readily available now though, thanks

And can we have the do not get in-f-volved need you 100% etc line please?

Oh dear firegirl sorry

I feel vindicated on the cold sore front now thanks elsie. Still wouldn't have stopped me from snogging his face off pecking his cheek politely.

Does this work ?

Bother, still can't see any cold sore? probably too busy looking at CJWhere is it?

Can we also have "Brize Norton" in the gif (hark at me being technical) simply because I love his posh boy way of saying it

Yes, he pronounces his vowels in a lovely posh boy way, which is why I like the way he says "hilarious" and "Charles".
