Swagger Inn. Thread 81. BBC Musketeers. Anything stuck in your teeth Aramis?

[Lyndie]

All welcome to discuss BBC Musketeers. If we ever get to see them again due to the sodding rugby

Well done on the tech thingy MrsBee. I am utterly useless at all that even with instructions!

Well it was partly the Musketeers, but also I know how much hell life would be without CBBC in this house. We do seem to have picked up TinyPop too though, so next task is to work out how to delete channels.

Did you ever get your TV connected up ok Carolina? I still have that scart socket thingy if you need it?

Ha Ha Ha Ha... no I didn't.

I did get a part refund for the non-fitting up though just couldn't get one in Maplins.

If you have no use for the scart splitter thingy it would be much appreciated

40 party bage elk

I can't work out where that Apple Store photo was taken sparks, could it have been 'backstage'?

I wondered if backstage too Fancy.

Yes of course Carolina. All it's doing is sitting in the big basket of old phone chargers, random cables and similar. It might inspire me to sort it all out doubt it but optimistic

40 party bags is the least of it, that means 40 children at the party. You must be mad Elk!

She must be beyond mad!

Right. I need my bed. Have enjoyed tonight and feel better than I have for a while.

Thanks wenches and night!

XXXXXXX

Oops me too. Past pumpkin time.

Night wenches.

Night all

Wash, scrub, tidy etc. And that's actually in RL for once

Will start on tavern now....

Started watching Fortitude last night - first ep. was intreguing intrieguing v. good. But then DH had right grouch about being ignored for MN, FFS - which part of "I'm logging in now" isn't enough of an indicator that I'm not worth trying to talk to? Still he's in bed still, so now I've done the chores I can blether away... to an empty tavern. Huh. FML etc.

Morning Helen!
I am still in bed but contemplating getting up
Comtesse beleice.it.or.not I can beat that story for.sheer cringe value
Ds1s match cancelled.due.to.frozen pitch
Off.to.see.mum later then onto pils.for dinner

Morning helen, badders

I have finally managed to get up early and sneak downstairs without waking the baby and toddler alarm system and am having a lovely silent morning, drinking tea, reading magazines and watching tv.

Morning all.

Come on then badders, lets see the colour of your cringe...and whats going on with those full stops?

hope it lasts mouse!

I'm on my kindle fire and it's driving me mad
I have to type so slowly or it puts full stops after each word
Back later when I have ipad access for cringe fest

It won't last. I can hear a toddler thumping downstairs.

I better go make some porridge

Right.
So.
Many years ago (after I was married but pre dc) I worked at an accountants office. It was directly opposite the local town hall. (This is relevant!)
At Xmas they had an Xmas do at a hotel some way away which meant we all went home at 5.30 but had to get ready and be back for the bus to take us to the venue by 7.
Clear so far?
It was pitch black outside by 5.30 (obv) and I was looking out for dh as he picked me up each evening parking on the other side of the road opposite my office and beside the town hall (still clear?)
So.
I was looking for dh and saw a car pull up in "his" spot.
"Bye everyone" I cheerfully called and ran across the road (it was raining)
I opened the car door and threw myself into the passenger seat and started babbling away (as is my wont) and it wasn't until I had sorted by bag out and put my seatbelt on I realised something wasn't quite right.
I turned and looked into the - very panicked - face of a 50 something man I didn't know.
In my defence his car was a similar colour and shape to dhs.
That wasn't the worst part though.
After I began babbling my apologies I realised he wasn't looking at me, but over my shoulder at the window of the town hall offices.
I looked and there was a very annoyed looking woman looking back at us.
Yes.
That's right.
His wife.

My work colleagues thought it was hilarious of course
He never parked there again......

Morning wenches. Mouse your solo sounded lovely.

That little gif set you posted Sparkle is really well put together isn't it? Not least for the oooof factor, but Queenie's face in the last gif. Aramis obviously didn't notice a lack of "bedroom tricks" did he?

Badders that's brilliant

badders hilarious.
But that is my secret fear. I'm a bit short sighted and don't wear my glasses very often. I worry im going to get into a strangers car one day.

One for Team Athos

Oh I wish it stopped there!
I could regale you for hours with takes if my fucktrumpery.
I remember once helping my cousin move house. She had a red car. (Yes, that really is how my brain works. "Oh, look a red car, that must be our red car" :))
I spent a good 10 mins trying to get into this bloody car whilst unbeknown to me the actual owner and my cousins and sister laughed at me from the window of her flat.
I have also, in the past, phoned the police because my car had been "stolen"
Me: "my car has been stolen!"
Police: "where are you madam? What sort of car is it?"
Me: "it's a 5 door.....oh hang in, there it is"
Police: "alright madam. Bye."

Letus...we do indeed :)
He looks like he would be proper filth in bed doesn't he?

FIL did something a bit like this once quite a few years ago. Went shopping near Christmas, went back to car, put shopping so far in boot, carried on with shopping. Finished shopping, went back to car, opened boot (obvs been left unlocked), empty boot. He started ranting about people being fucking bastards and stealing Christmas shopping. Door then wouldn't open so he kicked the tyres a few times, having a bit of a rant.

MIL then realised - wrong car. They'd parked on a different floor of the multi-storey and had to slope off hoping no one had seen them

Hahaha :)
I've never done that.
Honestly.
