Off to hair dressers now to get my roots done. Got to look my best just in case there is a sighting!

Nickel45 · 14/01/2015 13:56

onefor sorry about the job :( I reckon an afternoon of CJ watching/dreaming would help!

I don't really want to mention it ... but remember that other picture (which we have all blanked from our minds) with the black furry coat thing .... eek! Please can we have combats, headset and all that stuff back .... :)

(I'm pretending I've not reading all the other posts for now ... in work, already splattered coffee everywhere ... I will not laugh out loud at my screen again!!)

cjwoofwoof · 14/01/2015 14:47

orphan I'm a bit concerned about the size of my bum too, viz a viz protruding out from the cape whilst in my clinging on position. Although well covered by the fur cape, I'm worried any hormonal Cougars watching the romantic scenes will suddenly think Operation Bulge has gone into overdrive. Whilst I could indeed testify that The Safety Ledge was alive and well and holding me in position rather nicely, I'd forgotten my presence under the cape was supposed to be a secret so BA could continue holding his goblet and acting mean and devilish as AN. It's a tricky one and I'm thinking I may have to go more for the Clingy Toddler pose around his knees under the cape, and use The Safety Ledge to hold my chin in place instead, what do you think? Such a dilemma.

cherin · 14/01/2015 14:57

wrists dangling from vest, and combat gloves. Focus on that. Forget the rest!!

come on, i don't think the hair is that curly in RL
(even if it would not be a problem for me, as i have inherited a very curly hair from my Jimi-Hendrix-style-mum and i can't never keep up with cutting it properly, so i mostly look like Professor Brown from Back to the future...oook, TMD)
have you seen this picture? firsttimetravelerfirsttimeabroad.wordpress.com/tag/ben-aldridge/

Richtea19 · 14/01/2015 15:11

cherin he has big hair in that photo. He probably has that sort of hair that needs to be cut regularly? I wonder if it goes I to tight curls when wet, aka kevin Keegan wet look perm. If it's styled it could go into that old fashioned finger wave look!!

Having a sweat on thinking about the tan suede bomber jacket with nothing underneath. At least we have confirmation from the paddling pool scene that there is NO hairy chest, so he can't really be a porn star.

oneforthegirls sorry about job situation, get Captain Stern face to cheer you up.

Ilovelblue · 14/01/2015 15:14

onlygirl's latest chapter is uploaded now. Just about to read it (at work on my phone).

Oneforthegirls · 14/01/2015 15:24

Nickel what was the black furry coat thing? Was it in the early days ? I haven't been here from the beginning. You do occasionally talk about a wedding photo you had to have removed. What was that all about? Something to do with his persuasion? Is it linked to black fur?

pixieg1rl · 14/01/2015 15:29

onlygirl that was bloody fantastic. I loved Chris' wedding speech, priceless.

You really are the queen of building up the tension to a cliffhanger ending.

Onlygirljen · 14/01/2015 15:58

Thanks pixie! That was infact a RL wedding speech, delivered by RL Chris (didn't go down too well with the bride in that case either!!).

Sorry about the absence of ledges, there's always next chapter though!!

Richtea19 · 14/01/2015 16:01

onlygirljen bloody brilliant!!! Perfect afternoon reading when I'm on my own! I love the suspense. Have you told your RL Chris is featuring in your story????

cjwoofwoof · 14/01/2015 16:14

Well done Jen that was a blimmin great chapter. I can't stand the suspense so put some bloody effort in and get on with the next instalment, it's doing my nut in Grin. I soooo want a happy ending, hate it when they get hold of the wrong end of the stick. Don't worry about not fitting in the ledge - I'll take care of it whilst I'm under that furry cape for 4 hours before orphan takes over.

pixieg1rl · 14/01/2015 16:22

I think I really like Chris.

Oneforthegirls · 14/01/2015 16:28

Onlygirl great chapter. Glad Chris is still there in the background.

Ilovelblue · 14/01/2015 16:28

Switching allegiance pixie? He does sound a real character, I must admit. I think onlygirl should tell him he features in her secret writing. He will be over the moon. Especially if he knows all these hormonal women are after him! How old is he onlygirl?

orphan · 14/01/2015 16:30

onlygirl too cruel keeping us hanging like that!

cjwoof poor BA, will he look like the hunchback of Notre Dame with me attached like a limpet to his back? Perhaps he can play Richard III. It's always good to get some Shakespeare on your c.v.

Oneforthegirls · 14/01/2015 16:34

cherin hey, really like that photo link you posted at lunch time. His hair really isn't that curly there. That's probably the best BA RL pic I have seen. He looks more like CJ there than any other BA pic I have seen too. I am now moving back towards 50/50.

Onlygirljen · 14/01/2015 16:35

Ha, no I haven't told him. He already thinks the world revolves around him as it is without enlarging his ego even more! His name isn't actually Chris, but everything else about him is the same! He's 30 ilove but acts like a perpetual teenager. We went to school together, and he's hung around like a bad smell ever since!

I'm actually meant to be meeting him for dinner after work tomorrow, will need to avoid getting tipsy and confessing that I've found him some more admirers! He would love that! Might manage to get some more comedy value stories from him for future chapters!

Ilovelblue · 14/01/2015 16:40

Onlygirl - he does seem to have an engaging personality. Your latest chapter is excellent. Please don't keep us in suspense too long. I like the way Chris and CJ are foils for each other.

Pixie if you are going off CJ, that means there's more of him left for the rest of us to go round....!

I think you should tell RL Chris Onlygirl, it would be so funny. Depends whether you want him to know about your secret writing though. From what you've said, he would deliberately be seeking it out to see how you have portrayed him!

WHAJEB1 · 14/01/2015 16:40

I now have a visual of an exasperated director shouting cut as someone loses grip and slips down!! Just had to reassure my ds that I wasn't sniggering at his attempt at Apple crumble. Hopefully he will out it down to my lack of sleep from night shift!!

Love you latest chapter Jen would have preferred to see it that way in the drama x

orphan · 14/01/2015 16:44

The photo cherin posted is lovely. His hair is just right, wavy rather than comedy curl wig. Lucky woman who met him. (Unfortunately the camera missed off the two women clinging to him front and back...)

pixieg1rl · 14/01/2015 16:54

Hey, I only said I like him, not that I'm giving up on CJ! I have a weakness for cheeky men.

I hope you manage to get a few more anecdotes out of him at dinner Jen

Onlygirljen · 14/01/2015 16:54

ilove exactly why I'm not telling him! If he found involved he would have an absolute field day. And probably tell hubby that I had officially lost the little grip on reality that I had.

I really, really like him in cherin's pic. Closest to CJ I've seen him.

Onlygirljen · 14/01/2015 16:57

Thanks whajeb! I re-read persuading Charles today,
I'm so excited to see what happens next!

orphan · 14/01/2015 16:58

Just found a photo of BA on a celebrities testimonial page for intensive driving courses! Rubbish photo but he's pictured just having passed his test holding his certificate. Imagine being his instructor - confined space, special mirror angled so you can watch him at all times...

cjwoofwoof · 14/01/2015 16:58

Ooh I don't think I'll be losing my firm grip any time soon WHAJEB. In fact orphan will have to prise me off the ledge to take over her stint at the front of the shag mat furry cape Wink
