cjwoof where are you? Have you read spo's latest? Your groin grip wasn't quite up to the job...!!

SPO you sir are indeed a genius. Please come back to us.

tsk orphan it was the oiled torso and deflating ledge. cjwoof's grip is like iron

By the way, this coming Sunday it will be exactly 3 months (13 weeks) since OG finished. How far have we come since then (and what have we learned) I wonder!!!!! Still getting newcomers to join us and I don't think many people have dropped out over the past 3 or 4 weeks either. We could really do with SPO to come back and give us his stats and graphs but I am sure this particular thread is one of the fastest moving we've had for a while.

SPO magnificent! I don't know how you do it? Your new chapter was so funny, I'm having to make excuses to DH why I am laughing so much. Ledges, feathers, soft furnishings and the sausage!!!!

I haven't caught up on any other FF yet but will when I'm off to bed.

Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments. I really appreciate your support and reviews and it certainly keeps you going during the writer's block moments, so thank you again!

For some strange reason whilst watching The Musketeers tonight all the talk of the 'bulge', examining photos and discussing one man shows reminded me of that Galaxy Minstrels advert where the two women are sitting in the theatre wating for the show to start and discussing the artistic merits of 'Le Grand Bulge'!! Their tag line is 'Sophisticated Silliness'. Possibly quite apt for us - well at least the silliness part is right.

pixie I stand corrected - of course it would take the entire wrestling contingent to prise cjwoof off the ledge. I hasten to remind everyone that spo used artistic licence in his ff - the real ledge would never deflate so quickly.

Oi rhubarb I am the very epitome of sophistication!

rhubarb that's our Strap Line!!
CJ Collective - Sophisticated Silliness

Oops, read "strip line" instead of "strap line"!! Freudian slip?! Great strap line ... I'll have to practise learning proper good English though, if we're going to be getter sofistikated!

Just reread zombies, SPO you are a literary genius.
Are we going to have an Addicks vs Rams match? Mansfield Mike'll be pleased!

Getting not getter ... Might gonna have to learn to type too!

Yes Richtea, I can see it in a ribbon banner underneath the coat of arms of a stag headed man in low slung combats and headset, flanked by 2 nubile ladies brandishing tape measures, recumbent on badger fur shag rugs.

There you go cherin, time to crack out the good pencils and turn my vision into a reality.

nickel I thought that re. Addicks! Do you think SPO is a secret Charlton Fan???? DH and the boys go regularly to home games. (My old boss has a Box and no one ever wants to go!!

richtea, not so secret now, if he is! I'm sure there is a plan there somewhere, you are very clever at pulling all the ends together SPO!

Have you realised that we are nearly at the end of the thread ... And it's been less than a week! This must have been one of the busiest weeks. It's amazing that we are 3 months after the end of OG, and here we all are still!

Well, well, well, I turn my back for a few hours and come back to find SPO has written an absolute masterpiece chapter incorporating all our thoughts over the last couple of days, and has even turned me into some kind of a porn actress - really SPO? Absolutely hilarious, SPO you are a genius, I'm in stitches and my DH thinks I'm totally bonkers and has gone off to bed shaking his head, bless him. If only he knew what hidden talents I possess (I can assure you that I would never lose my grip and I've never experienced a deflated ledge on my watch!!)

Oh dear me!!! I am hiding in the loo trying to contain the laughter, but failing miserably. It comes in waves and I can't stop. I'll wake the bleeders up. And it will be all of your fault. But mostly SPO's. I started hiccuping hysterically at the stag cushions and I haven't stopped yet!!!! Godalmighty what have you done to me. Used to be a respectable person. Now am thinking of ledges and fluffy dusters and oily torsos....

pixie I am at your command. I can't quite hold a pencil right now (albeit the art teacher I had kept on saying to loosen up and engage with left side of the brain etc)- but laughing so hard makes for very wobbly lines...

whajeb I'm enjoying your ff so much and am so pleased when you update. Miss Austen would be proud!

Is it wrong of me to now want BA to wear another dodgy outfit so we can have more fun coming up with a better use for it, thus giving SPO more material?

Nickel we are hardcore remember!

spo please come back to us. There's a massive bell curve graph hole where you used to be!

cjwoof sadly, I think further idle googling will doubtless turn up more material for us...

whajeb and paintedcherry brilliant FF, lovely bedtime reading.

Have we address the Larkrise to Candleford attire?? Not a lot of Operation Bulge to be done there though, pleated front trousers :(

Thank you sooo much everyone, confidence goes a wee bit here and there so appreciate your support!

I actually have a little bit of PTSD after reading SPO previous chapter on a nightshift and then reacting really really really innapropriately when someone told me something quite major, all because I couldn't get the image of CJ legs breaking out of my head!! Not to mention sniggering at training when I stupidly (in a nice way) logged on when I got a bit bored, if Graham Norton ever reads out any of your posts you should be proud of the posters you have become. There should be a health warning on ALL your posts!!

Here's a couple of others (you've probably seen them before, but not sure if they've been on here), but first a proper CJ one ... As it is nearly bed time ...
