I've been thinking about richtea too. I haven't told my DH about this, and was wondering what he would think if he knew, and he'd probably be bemused! I've probably said before, I've never posted on a thread, and tbh I'd probably have scoffed if someone suggested it, but it is a real laugh ... And makes the day just a little bit better! Also, he spends a lot of time watching horse racing and football and looking at that on the web, and I don't ask about that (not interested!, as long as he doesn't bet the housekeeping!), so to me it's the same kind of thing. Just another kinda 'hobby'. Anyway, richtea, I hope you are getting everything sorted. Lots of love and hugs x

185 photos and I deleted some

I didnt think it would be 13 mins long and its not all of them. Need to do a better one

Lots of new ff to read this evening.

Can't believe 3 months after the show finished people are still inspired to write. TG and co must be very proud

Nickel yes I agree, it is a laugh and it's something to look forward to at different points in the day. I was thinking before that in the real world, as opposed to this virtual one, we could have set up something like a book club if we all lived in close enough proximity but of course, it can't work like that, hence this thread. Nobody would have objected to a face to face book group, would they?

I suppose some people - remember my elderly friend - think of internet forums as being "dodgy" whereas we know that for more than three months, we have been having enormous fun!

Stay with us Richtea if you can, it won't be the same without you. xx

Hi all, checking in, sounds like you're all upto your usual antics! Nice vid 'Foggy', sorry Icemist! I have some OG music if you want me to send it over to you to accompany your pics just let me know.

Stay with us Richtea, though saying that I hide my laptop when in not using it as my DP would think I was obsessed if he looked at my computer. of course I am but keep it under your hat I'm currently watching Vera on NowTv, never watched before but coincidentally this ep seems to have BA in it...I'd do a few screenshots and post them later.

I have to admit whenever I look at CJ photos I'm struck again (and again) by just how bloody gorgeous he is! I think we've said this already, but really an award needs to go to the costume/stylist/makeup person on the series cos we know how badly wrong BA can get it when he dresses/does his hair himself! For me, his hair is at its most lustable when he's just about to drag Molly into his quarters (pre-wardrobe). Perfect length and curl.

I hope that as he becomes more famous, he will at least employ a personal shopper/stylist for a little while to give him some tips! I was always of the impression that actors had a certain inbuilt vanity but in BA's case, I am not so sure!

Imagine if your husband left you for CJ/BA. It would be a double whammy- deserted by partner and your crush turns out to be gay! Although, if you managed to keep it all amicable there would be a possibility of CJ becoming your new gbf.

orphan I do not want even to think about the possibility of BA being gay!
Did we try and ask outin that when she came on board? I wonder whatever happened ot her - her appearance was very short lived.

to - typing this whilst watching Call the Midwife.

outin was worried someone from the show would recognise her from the photos she shared and what she had told us. They sign a confidentiality thing when they work. She does lurk and may post again in the future

Right, makes sense when you think about it. Thanks icemist.

icemist you really are the nuts! I'm not entirely convinced that you aren't part of MI5 or something equally as exciting!!!

Nickel was just thinking something similar but even if icemist is who she says she is (:)), then it's not only us who recognise her as head girl but the outside world too!

Ahh richtea hope everything okay - just like to thank you for making me laugh over the last couple of months!!!

Oh icemist I'm dangerously close to having a girl crush on you! You really are the fount of all knowledge.

Definitely ilove, well dserved recognition ... As icemist or foggy!

I think icemist you should upgrade your OBE. How about Dame of the British Empire? You could be like Judi Dench then and I have likened you to "M" from the more recent 007 films before. What does anyone else think?

I had a lovely 'chat' with outin when she explained about not being able to post.

ilove I hate to say it but deep, deep down I have a feeling that BA is indeed gay. But to be honest, it doesn't make a jot of difference to me!

Ooops maybe not Dame Judi, aren't they killing her off as "M"? Let's go for Dame Maggie Smith instead (younger looking of course).

Yes, Judi Dench M died in the last one I think. I always think Dame sounds a bit odd though. I think pantomime or wizened spinster for some reason!

icemist, I'm glad she chatted to you, I hope we didn't scare her off, but it's difficult not to ask questions ... But i can understand it must have put her in a difficult position. Hope you are still lurking outin and we are keeping you amused!!

I have the same feeling orphan, but agree it doesn't matter at all! We know CJ isn't!!

Well it's been a while but I've finally come back to you!

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't even been lurking. I've had all sorts of RL stuff going on and without going into boring detail, let's just say I will be more than delighted to see the back of January.

I bet I have loads to catch up on. Not going to have time to read the last months posts so I'll have to skim read, unless anyone can post the highlights

Anyway, feels good to be back amongst old slightly deranged like myself friends

Let's just go the whole hog and crown icemist. I think Her Royal Highness icemist has a nice ring to it.
