Richtea, are you suggesting we buy the duvet cover so that we can cut the fabric and make blinds with it? So we don't miss even the "wash day" of stag-reminder??
(I did that once- bought 6 old embroidered linen sheets on eBay and transformed into curtains for our summer house. Bargainous and very good effect ;-)

Let's be honest, it already at M rating in my head....

I honestly can't believe how quickly you write. I had a bit of time this morning to start on my next chapter, but got very little done. Stopping every 10 minutes to set up another episode of Peppa Pig & Thomas the Tank engine didn't help

onlygirl you can re-rate on the manage stories page part way through. I re-rated my first one part the way through when I realised swearing shouldn't be on a K rating. Problem is that nothing higher rated than T automatically appears on the opening page. Its fine if people have you on alert but if not they have to know to change the filters to find you.

Oh and looking at the pics I think Andrew Lincoln has improved over the years but perhaps not Jack Davenport although still a lovely actor - sorry! Its a good job he can't see me!

jen, that new chapter is brilliant!! You had such a good idea to spin the story around like this, it's quite amazing. I really can't wait to see where you take these two guys (hope it's in horizontal position, but actually...any layout would do ;-)

I'm already hot under the collar, can't possibly stay as a T rate for much longer surely onlygirl
You have set a very high bar with involved.

Speaking of smut, a little while ago I had a quick look at some of Laurie Love (of my man fame) other fanfic related to Harry potter. My god it was pure filth. I didn't stay long. At least Jens has a bit of Dacorum??

Ditto pixie, it's an M in my head too!!! Eek!
Tiny bit miffed, changed my text alert to stay focused etc and no one has texted yet. Hmm. . .

Oh one thing I was meant to add earlier...Foley has a voice similar to CJ! I mean BA. I may admit I have a weakness for voices, it's possibly the sexiest thing in a man for me (possibly...not sure). I remember years ago listening for he first time to Anthony queen in original version (in an otherwise fluffy and fairly light movie, A walk in the clouds) and stopping like hypnotised. I mean, the guy may have been already 75yo but his voice had a pulling force that put Keanu Reeves and all his muscles in the second league ;-)

Do you think we should add Eddie Redmayne? Maybe he could go in with Damian Lewis, or be waiting staff with Nicholas Witchall.

onlygirljen your ff is M rated in my mind, but I'm more than happy for you to change the rating :)

cherin duvets are staying as duvets and not blinds, so will have wash days:( I have bought a duvet and made it into cushions though!

So we prove that not only "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", but also "smut is in the brain of the reader" :-)

Yep, think it would be a shame not to take it horizontal (other layouts will also be considered cherin ). But not quite yet!! Thanks rhubarb for the pointer, will check it out!

How about Tom Brady for another contender - yes, he's a yank and (even worse) a sportsman. But those shoulders!!

Taking a step back after a cold shower, let's give Jen the time to build up the excitement. I can wait for the "climax," we all know the smouldering anticipation is often more exciting. I love to have my imagination fed and she does it so well.

Hmm yes, Eddie Redmayne is for me, front of house again. A friend of mine is mad about him but his lips are a little too pillowy for my cougar tastes. He was incredible in the Hawking film though. Are we being a bit 'ginger-ist' though putting Redmayne and Witchell on waiting duty, but I suppose The Sausage has made it through to the wrestling ring.

I was flicking through the TV channels today and came across the house buying programme with Alistair Appleton. He's got a lovely smile and twinkly eyes and is rather gorgeous but unfortunately (for our purposes anyway!) is gay. I wouldn't mind seeing him strip down though...

Yes I supoose we are being a bit ginger-ist, however being on this thread alone tells us we all have a type, I love NWitchell, ERedmayne, and the Sausage but I'm just not keen on watching them naked wrestle. Ther're skills and attributes lay elsewhere!

Also agree on the build up, sometimes I find that all a bit more exciting than the act! (Not ff though!)

Richtea you're right its the will they/won't they you often like best in drama. You can't beat a bit of smouldering anticipation BUT I can think of one exception. OG would definitely have benefitted from at least ONE full-on passionate snog, surely!!

Do front of house still need their vital statistics taken for the programme or do we concentrate our time and efforts on the wrestlers? I'm thinking that some of the contestants may need measuring a couple of times just to be safe - CJ of course and Rupert Friend may require my special attention as well... So if Nicolas Witchell doesn't mind not having his measurements taken that could save time.

Orphan Alistair is cute. Perhaps he could be our BGF and sit there with us all making us laugh and empathising!!

Great idea rhubarb. I think he's really into meditation and yoga etc so he could be useful in helping calm pre-bout nerves.

Slow build up and smouldering anticipation is all well and good as long as there's a final pay off!

Just for clarity I do think that all vitals should be taken, even waiting/front of house and entertainment staff, but perhaps no need for the re-measure on them. Our time is much better spent on the main event, so to speak ;)

We touched on accommodation, perhaps a Glastonbury style event, especially if we are in a ruin. CJ can jump in my sleeping bag..

rhubarb. We were cheated out of that kiss in Ep5. I'm all for the will they won't they, but that was outrageous!

Rhubard totally agree that OG took the anticipation one step too far. One full on passionate kiss wouldn't have done any harm.

Re the wrestling, apart from being a boring accountant in RL, I was a life guard in one of my previous lives, do you have anyone in mind for first aid? I'm still a dab hand at mouth to mouth if anyone needs it. Maybe we could have CJ's paddling pool for them to relax in between bouts? I could patrol the pool swinging my whistle and could give a quick blow if anyone misbehaves!

richtea actually being on this thread is making me worry that my 'type' is pretty much any man younger than me! I'd always thought I was strictly a Richard Armitage and The Raisin (who at least is older than me) luster, but clearly I'm far more diverse in my tastes than I'd realised!!

could give a quick blow if anyone misbehaves! drink well and truly spattered all over myself

Been living the marking and housework dream, you have all been very busy here and on ff, looking forward to catching up

Snap! My filthy mind made me choke on my Baileys ( trying to finish bottle so I can start Jan detox...)

icemist. Whattttt, whose going to give a quick blow????
