Not "ordinary" ...

Brilliant rhubarb ..... Imagine if/when they win something, well all be sitting glued to the set .... Just waiting .... :)

Oh dear. Too much time on the P.C. today. Let me correct a couple of spellings. Firstly it's of course 'an award' and of also although the cast might well have been wining and dining I think they would look forward to winning! I've got square eyes!

lol! Theres a lot of info out on the www if you take the time to look. BA posted a picture of a toddler saying something like "can't believe I'm related to this"

Where has Icemist gone. You can't just give a tantalising bit of information and leave!

Next question: Are you related?

Clearly not. Not sure about posting pics of your nephew though?

lol...

I was bored one day and did a lot of digging round. because BA doesn't tweet a lot, it was easy to find.

Oh well, we will have to go back to assuming it was SPO then!

I have wondered (momentarily!!), when (if?) BA ever did post and say it was him, how we could confirm it .... So just to say I have some ideas .... Don't want to say them out loud incase someone does sign on pretending to be him .... Anyway ........ We could have some real fun with that one!!! ....

Mmm, icemist you've always been very good at finding out the BA info we need. (I'm picturing myself in Poirot mode, stroking my moustache and turning slowly round before pointing triumphantly at you) I unveil you as BA!!

But, aha, that was just to put everyone off the scent. Now I slowly turn round again, still stroking my impressive moustache, and declaim "It's spo!

orphan

most definitely not!

Can you imagine, if he ever did post here!! I do wonder if he's gotten the birthday card and maybe got someone else to look?

Ooh new chapter for Five Years On www.fanfiction.net/s/10928417/11/Five-Years-On

Goodness me ladies I couldn't believe how many more posts there were since I last checked and all the revelations and conspiracy theories.
Welcome newbies and come back to us SPO -I'll go and get you the top from the army surplus shop unless you've already knicked one from Wadrobe ....
Planning for next term means having to work for a few hours once DSs are in bed so less time to check and re watch though sound track on in background.
I started reading another time last night, like someone else said took till Ch2 to get into it then read till nearly midnight and carried on when I woke up.
well done again with everyone. It is a pleasure to have got to know such a fun and talented bunch on people

OMG you lot have me in hysterics! Have you all been on the prosecco or the vodka whilst I've been finishing off my last sewing job? I just love the idea of icemist being BA and posting his (her?) own pictures of CJ at his most handsome! There were literally tears coming down my face.

Subconsciously for a while I've been thinking whilst reading the ff that there are certain things we'd discussed on these threads which subsequently appeared in the stories and I could kick myself for not realising sooner that the best ff has been written by people on here. I'm not normally so slow on the uptake.

Poor SPO, I bet we've frightened him off completely!

Rhubarb
Very kind of you.

Spent a couple of hours watching film with my DD. have neglected her of late!

Noticed your comments about awards. For some bonkers reason I googled TG's Twitter the other day (I'm not on it and don't really get it) and found a link to the Planet TV awards on 18 December. It said OG won best Drama and BA/LT won best actor/actress. There were no pictures and wondered if it was a serious thing or if it was some silly spoof. Doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else.

Forgive if you have already talked about it.

Onefor I don't get Twitter either to be honest. I think Icemist is our technicaldirector/Twitter expert/head girl. She might be able to shed some light on it, but no, it's certainly not been mentioned on here.

I saw that Planet TV thing too. I got the impression it was some sort of website or blog run by young lad. I think the awards were possibly virtual although they may have been based on some sort of online voting!

Its a website. And not a great one. The anon lot have only got excited about it in the past few day. The winners got emailed a certificate lol

My only disappointment if icemist you are indeed BA, is that you haven't posted any rather more 'private' or 'candid' pics if you get my drift. Surely, you must have some 'combats very much off' pics you could share with us hard core fans?

oneforthegirls just finished reading your last chapter and thought it was brill. Thanks for filling in that much needed conversation.

I've been leaving reviews on the ff but only as guest cos apparently someone else has my name already. Help! I've got a doppelganger!

I must go to sleep at a reasonable time tonight (it was 3.30 least night, NYR not going so well!). So, night all, it's been a blast tonight

Morning

Woken by 5 yo at 5am shouting mummy, daddy! So hopped out of bed to check on him. Needed a wee but woke his brother up by his shouting. So we're all up apart from hubby who slept through it all.

Blimey, it all went a bit haywire last night! Lovely pics icemist - 2 and 3 are my faves for totally different reasons! He has the whole moody, petulant, meaningful look going on in 2 (which kills me) then so young and carefree in 3. Love both of those scenes.

Need to try and restore some normality in this house today - get the school uniform ironed, achieve some order - eeeek

Lovely pictures again to set me up for my last day before work again tomorrow. It's going to be hard getting back into a routine. Two full weeks in work then off the following Friday for a belated Christmas present - overnight stay with a friend for shopping and eating etc. Only a Travel Inn but it's a pretty good one, we've done it before. This is the friend who declared she thought CJ's shoulders and chest (paddling pool scene) looked too boney. Then there's Bailbrook House to look forward to in February.

Just re-read all last night's posts. We put on more last night than over the last two weeks I think. We could probably do with SPO coming back and doing a few graphs and stats for us. Still laughing about icemist secretly being BA.

Three new ff stories overnight, including Shazbo aka *LovingtheBritActors". Am totally hooked! Almost thinking of cancelling my Saturday newspaper as I'm having to force myself to read it these days. This ff is now as much of an obsession as CJ himself. All other reading is very much sidelined.

Any more confessions to come out today?

Blimey, I leave this thread for just one evening and its full of conspiracy theorys. icemist I have always known there is more to you.... are you head of BBC IT Drama productions?? You have all the side knowledge. SPO I don't think you are BA (sorry orphan) however you are somebody perhaps the great TG himself?

How funny you all were last night. Severely hungover today, DH gone back to bed, DS1 has just remembered the day before school he has a load of History HW! And DS2 is sulking because I found out he had forged my signature on a report from school! How do I tackle that one?

Going to catch up on all suggested FF today, love all your madness :)
