Swagger Inn 80 - What Do We Want? MUSKETEERS IN BILLOWY SHIRTS! When do we want them? Erm... All the time actually please.

[LetUsPrey]

I like to be polite.

Come on in wenches.

Just over 24 hours to go!

Carpet of virility. Brings a new meaning to shagpile.

Feel free to blame the vodka. I am.

I had soup last night, can I blame that?

WOO HOO WENCHES!

A new AthosSexFaceTM

That one is MADE for a caption.

Dammit comtess that's a catchy bloody tune!

TM is no. 5 on Today's Downloads list on iPlayer

Don't forget to download everyone!

Amusing rewatch commentary on the lj comm here

love the comment:
"I know a way she'll come."
yes, well that is Aramis' area of expertise...

Also, someone noticed that Treville's P45 is actually a letter about lacy collars. Seriously guys, you're paying that much attention to the props in this programme? Are there not better things to look at?

Morning all. thanks for the painkillers fancy. Letus, MrH was too busy watching superbowl to play with linament :(

Next time we have a new carpet I may insist on a rug of virility with added shagpile

ooooooohhh - we have snow from last nigth and I must let the chickens out - Catch you later for another day of MN-ing freelancing in the freezer office.

Morning. Am hoping to manage at least one post where twatty apple doesn't autocorrect. Drives me mad. So yes Helen, drink dictionary turned off.

Need to do a re-watch. But not tonight or tomorrow because I have ds1's birthday, then disco.
Want to try and spot pubes-chaise - and no, I'm not name changing to that, and soup not God, TB's ad-lib was inspired.

Carpet of virility

What re lacy collars? Seriously?

I CANNOT BELIEVE none of us picked up on that line re Aramis.

Oh & it turns out DH DID spot Pubegate. But then he did have a heads up to look out for the thing that made MN

Must download!

Today I will leave you with this

Dear God, the hands in her hair 2nd row on right.

Morning wenches. Today I will be working with the incentive that I can watch Musketeers at lunchtime.

Have goods days all

Morning wenches.

School run in 10 mins thank God. They even argued over who's turn it was to walk downstairs first today, and I have not had a chance to make industrial strength coffee yet.

Oooo YYY to increasing chest hair. I do like a good rug of virility . Hairy backs and shoulders though are a no no. They are a great big lack of evolution turn off.

Hope all wenches have a good day. I'll also be rewatching, with that coffee.

Oh and Elk you are fucking amazing. Well done.

Morning.

Boo to the superbowl helen & hope you're not too bruised today

Now that would be a real wench name change chaise , hope all goes well with DSs birthday & the disco.

Lovely gifs sparks, her hands in his hair in that same one are also v. hot

Enjoy your lunchtime rewatch letus, will you be having soup?

to mrsbeee re arguing children. At one time I enforced a strict rota for who's turn it was to get out of the bath first. A visiting friend was when she saw it in action. She has no children.

Morning wenches

Oh helen big hugs. We caught the beginning of the superbowl (it was shit). How are you feeling today

elk you are amazing

I have a soup maker

Well, I spent last night watching 'our guy in India' and am developing a bit of a crush on he of the ridiculous sideburns. I have been inspired to put in for my direct access motorbike training so I can upgrade to a full bike license.

Ooh me too mouse! Do you use yours much? I'm not convinced by mine - it seems to have problems maintaining a simmer & for some recipes I still need to use extra pans, which slightly defeats the purpose.

Am sat at computer.....

Have done precisely no work yet. (still) But have been productively trying to sort out travel insurance and EHIC cards (European health cover stuff).

Anyway, before I grit teeth and get down to work... In the next episode on 2017 (or whenever they're showing it ) didn't some one say something about some woman whose life Athos had ruined or some such (Or am I delusional)?

If I'm not delusional, can I open the book on what that's about? Because the ep. 5 preview at the end of ep. 4 had someone called 'Catherine' mentioned. So I think they're now channeling Charles Dickens and Catherine's going to be a Miss Havisham who either should have married Athos and got dumped for Milady, or it's someone who should have married his brother before Milday killed him off.

Gets to work, FFS...

Awww....you guys, shucks

PS - am a bit stiff and achy today, but fine. Thanks to all who asked.

New Wench Uniform for Team Athos - Just needs to be stuck onto a T-shirt (With apologies to those fine people at KeepCalm... )

Fuck sorry Floppers Helen I had RBNR you falling over and being bruised. Hope it's ok this morning?

Fancy we also have a rota re the bath. And for whose turn it is to bring water beakers downstairs in the morning, and who gets to open the big swishy curtains on a pull thing on the landing (annoying, cos I like that too). There is only 21 months between them and a they are both uber competitive.

In Ep5 there is a Baron who kidnaps Athos too isn't there? And it's all tied up with the estate. Wonder if Athos was meant to marry Baron's daughter and yes she gets dumped for Milady. So Baron has a grievance and Athos has guilt.

Fucking rugby. Normally I love rugby. England better stomp on Wales to compensate.

fancy I find it works ok for some soups - minestrone, broccoli and stilton, tomato. But with squash or root veg I need to roast them first so does kind of defeat the purpose of it. I love that it does everything in 20minutes but it needs a reheat function. Is yours the morphy Richards one?

I love that helen. It's bloody brilliant.

And to prove I'm still not really working, attached is screen shot of Treville's letter from Louis about lacy collars. Maybe he was suggesting a new uniform?

not sure if it will be readable here.

Transcribed as something along the lines of:
"fashion boom in lace began
sometimes lace was ??????? into
narrow collars
Louis"

Really BBC Props department, since so much effort goes into the details of the costumes and weapons etc, did they not think that obsessive dedicated fans would notice?
