He's clearly very upset by the whole thing and dignified silence is not his style. I don't think the gift analogy really works; it still makes him seem a little pompous unfortunately. What I don't really understand is that it wasn't as if he had no reviews, just apparently not as many as he felt he deserved. Who'd've thought ff could be such a turbulent and divisive thing?!

Richtea19 · 18/02/2015 17:31

ilove I saw that he had written more notes, but to be honest I can't really be bothered with him, I know that sounds mean, but I much prefer our own MN FF authors, and can't be doing with a Prima Donna KlipDoctor! My life's too complicated and busy!

How exciting that nickel has sent through a request to BH!!! I bet you will get the table!! I'm so excited for you.

Housework all done, not the ironing though. So I think I deserve a big fat G&T!

orphan · 18/02/2015 17:52

BH must be raking it in now that it's an official place of pilgrimage! I wonder if you could do a video diary of your stay ilove, so that us poor unfortunates who aren't there can at least get the feel of it?

Richtea19 · 18/02/2015 18:13

Sadly there is no chance of me ever getting to BH after the whole DH/AGM/Orgy episode. Maybe I could "lure" him to a different hotel and then accidentally pop in for lunch!!

ilove how about you make, Blue a Peter style a Blue Plaque and surreptitiously stick it to the under side of the table!!!

Onlygirljen · 18/02/2015 18:24

Evening! Not been around today, catching up now. Least said about the klipdoctor saga the better I suspect! Just a shame that something supposed to be fun has descended into such a situation.

richtea sorry I must admit I am terrible for constantly apologising! I will stop saying sorry for the angst, although you might want me to say it after the next chapter, that's all I'm saying...

orphan I hadn't written anything at all creatively until a couple months ago (Involved is the first thing I have written) although I do a lot of factual writing (reports etc) for work. Probably why I still feel the terror every single time I post something on ff.net!! It's taken me by surprise just how much I love doing it though, it's so much fun thinking out a story and developing it.

Onlygirljen · 18/02/2015 18:30

Ps ilove I am so excited about your stay at BH! You need to take photos and put them up for us to live vicariously!

I'm off to a wedding on Friday, and out drinking on Saturday (2 nights on the trot is unheard of for me!). Need to dig out 2 frocks and heels Hmm.

RL Chris will be at the wedding on Friday. Not as best man, unfortunately! Will try and get the latest from him as long as he's not too busy shagging the bridesmaids socialising Smile

icemistOBE · 18/02/2015 20:43

Evening

Am shattered but we all had a great day out.

pixieg1rl · 18/02/2015 22:06

Is everyone watching the sausage? I'm 2 weeks behind this applies in most areas of life

Ilovelblue · 18/02/2015 22:07

I am so excited about this: it seems there's a lot of pressure on me to report so that you get a vicarious kick out of it too. Am a bit nervous now too as well about THE table - either that I am going to laugh like a hyena if the waiter/waitress explains about it or that I am going to give the game away to my friend.

apsara couldn't get that link to work but Bailbrook Lodge is a different place to Bailbrook House - presume they are in the same area, but I think the Lodge is a b&b.

Change of subject, but you know I went for a starvation blood test this morning? I had to do a urine sample as well and take it in one of those silly little pots. Even had a text yesterday to remind me. Anyway, I went to reception to check in and said in a low voice that I had the sample to hand in too. The receptionist looked at me and said "Were you asked to bring it in?" and I so nearly said "No of course not, I always carry a little pot of my wee round with me!" I mean, what a ridiculous question!

KeziaOAP · 18/02/2015 22:23

Ilove did they give you a small cone to p**s in so sample is easily transferable to said small pot Grin

Ilovelblue · 18/02/2015 22:26

No, never seen one of those before. Hahaha. Maybe I should mention it!

pixieg1rl · 18/02/2015 22:31

When I was in and out of hospital for glucose tolerance tests I swiped a load of the cardboard wee collectors just so I had some way of giving a sample without peeing all over my hand trying to get it into the silly sample pot.

Ilovelblue · 18/02/2015 22:36

Heavens, do we cover some subjects other than CJ on here!! Mind you, I brought it up!

Richtea just remembered something from one of your earlier posts today. I haven't watched a full episode now of OG for quite some time but have to confess I flick through my favourite scenes for 10 mins here and there. I think what's weaning me off the TV series a bit is the amazing ff, most of it from our fantastic writers on here. When I go back to a full episode, I feel that things have moved on so much due to the ff. I reckon if the BBC decide not to commission a second series, I won't mind so long as the writing carries on and that we can chat on here.

apsara03 · 18/02/2015 23:04

Oh well. Have an amazing time ilove. We're off to a travelodge for a few days to escape building mess and catch up with friends where we used to live, which will be nice break and as apparently it's going to be very dusty here as they are purging the insulation inin,, unintentionally well planned Smile

Ilovelblue · 18/02/2015 23:08

Enjoy yourselves apsara. I hate mess like that - you're best off out of it!

Nickel45 · 18/02/2015 23:20

Oh no, I'm going to feel so guilty ilove if you don't get THE table. Eek, nervous now! Nervous and excited for you.

My mum & dad have just gone to bed, although they slept through most of Midsomer Murders too!! So finally checking in. Don't know how I'm going to cope with no wifi on holiday .. And that's not till May! I haven't watched a full episode of OG either, but watch a few minutes every so often. But been dosing up on CJ with reign and a smidgen of vera!!

ilove I wish you'd have said that to the receptionist, that was so funny!! I hope all your tests come back ok xx

Oh yes, and apsaras link, I think should be HTML at the end instead of hamlet, and without the spaces ...

(But I don't know how to put it in as a link, sorry)

Nickel45 · 18/02/2015 23:21

Ooh, it's made it into a link. Clever :)

apsara03 · 18/02/2015 23:36

Thanks nickel I despair with predictive text.
just been reading all the klipdoctor stuff. it all seems v dramatic and I wonder if part of it is that things can look harsher when written plus some people do seem to the the anonymity of the Internet to be rude

orphan · 19/02/2015 00:00

ilove I can't remember but was your booking of BH coincidental or did you choose it deliberately because of OG?

jen am now even more in awe knowing that 'involved' was your first creative piece of writing! Thank goodness for OG as it inspired you to write.Smile

Nickel45 · 19/02/2015 00:13

icemist how was the transport museum. Did you enjoy it as much as the kids?

Nickel45 · 19/02/2015 00:29

Ooh good excuse for a truck pic ...

Ilovelblue · 19/02/2015 07:11

orphan my friend and I always have a couple of nights away at this time of the year and have done Bath a few times. Last time was 2012 I think. Would probably have done the Cotswolds anyway this time so BH was an easy suggestion and was all down to OG. It was very easy to find out where the restaurant scene was filmed.

icemistOBE · 19/02/2015 08:46

Morning- another lie in. Thanks mum Smile
Museum was brilliant for the boys- a little boring for me. I preferred the football museum.

No plans for today- need to do some ironing and watch the last few mins of Reign.
