Was just looking to see where the stag thing started .... Hmm, might just be best to refer back to vol iii, rather than unravel the explanation behind that one?!?
Defo going to bed now, night all!

Morning

Had a thought this morning that we never did the Valentine Card... cherin did you get a chance to draw something?

Love our Little Book of How To Talk Like A Member of The CJ Collective
Work today - swivel chair and headset

Waking up to a chiselled jawline in the shadows ice love it ....although the way he is looking across in number 3 is my fav

Thank you have a nice day

Morning all. Lovely pics to wake up to, have to agree with painted on pic number 3.

pixie - late night writing obviously suits you, that update was fabulous.

Morning all, pixie you must of been up late!! I have a day off today, so I can enjoy your update with a cuppa. icemist every day I don't think you can get better photos... And then you do. I can't decide which is my fav out of the three.. I love them all.

icemist am drooling over the bone structure in pic one.

ilove above and beyond - fab job!
What about The Ledge/shelf and gorilla grip?

ilove it's our very own manual! Iove it - excellent work!

I'll do a bit more at it tonight. Just wish I could get the format right. If anyone can sort it out, I can email it across. Got a meeting this morning so will try to come up with a few more euphemisms etc.

Pixie how brilliant are you?!!

pixie absolutely brill! I'm convinced Zoe is your thinly disguised alter ego. It's just the way she purrs in a very cougar way...

London today. Ds has a open day/interview and I'm going to meet a friend then meet up with ds later for noodles at Bonedaddies in Soho. If any of you like big bowls of ramen noodles, then I can recommend there.

ilove although it pains me, I think The Sausage should be in our handbook. And maybe (thanks to Cherin I'm not bearing a grudge,honest) The Raisin.

Oops, delete fail.

Oh and Order of the Bulge - OBE

Thanks ladies, you're very kind.

orphan Zoe must be a very alter ego, I'm far too shy to be that predatory in RL.

pixie I think Zoe and Chris would be a perfect match!

pixie amazing new chapter.
I love it, all you FF writers are incredible, I can't imagine how you find the time. All very talented. :)

ILove I can have a look at the format if you want ... depending on how you want it?

I reckon maybe we should also add SPO in to the list, seeing as he STILL HASN'T COME BACK TO US!!! But we do keep referring to him!

Very boring and quiet in the office today, have decided that my swivel chair is not very practical in terms of CJ use as it has high arm rests .... but can't work out how to get rid! painted I am now very jealous of your swivel chair (and coffee machine ... ours here has the most horrible coffee ... just waiting out for the coffee man to arrive in his van ... yumbles!).

Morning, great pics this morning ice above and beyond.

Brilliant manual ilove - Is there room for the roll-up feather duster, glove tattoos over chest/bum area and lingerie plus the blow up plastic surgery suit with pump at additional cost? Also the glove gripping hold-ups with interlocking fingers and tapping thumb at upper thigh level? Just thought I'd throw them in as they're all items I'd certainly buy if they were on the market.

Ooh is there more ff? Lovely! Lazy morning this morning watching Ep 1 at mo, drinking latte and now about to read pixie latest chapter. Beats RL any day of the week.

I think if we're going to mention the gorilla grip manoeuvre in the manual we also need to add orphans double pelvic jump and thrust from CJ on one swivel chair to Rupert on the other. Also the cutlass clutch and goblet grab maybe worth a mention

The same thought had crossed my mind jen. We could do a collaboration when I'm not so ridiculously over-committed

Ayup Rhubarbs been at it again too, another chapter added - absolute bliss - more latte required. Just watching the gym strip in Ep 2 sigh, it doesn't get any better than this at 11am on a Wed morning. Going to fast fwd to duet just to escalate the lust admiration, then on to Rosabaya scene to totally finish me off...might gonna need to borrow painteds CJ despite the worrying lack of muscular limbs and digits...

JesusChristandallthesaints, the dino-thread is not for real, right?
(Right?? Says in a very small and suddenly doubtful voice)
Dad is geologist, I basically grew up under a diplodocus' skeleton and a mammoth head (the latter doesn't qualify as dinosaur as much more recent and mammal, or it is still disqualified for being big, old and scary?)
Night at the museum doesn't even start to describe my childhood. Now you tell me it's all a lie?? You're going to give me a massive midlife crisis!! Half of my self esteem is based on my having survived walking under Diplo night in and night out for 11+ years without screaming...
O tempora, o mores!

Pixie and Jen the idea of a collaboration is great! It reminds me of a book I read and mentioned once before where two writers took it in turns to write chapters. One wrote from the male point of view and the other from the female. They wrote in isolation and didn't know what the other would come up with plot wise until they were given the chapter. Could be fascinating - challenging too! But I love the idea of having a crossover fic based on two original characters you have created. Think about it - even if you only did it for us! Mind you lots of others have read your stories and would enjoy it too - but you'd have to include Charles and Molly somewhere!

Ooops, whilst on the subject of euphemisms, I giggled and smirked in a meeting this morning when somebody mentioned "large jugs" in relation to a catering issue - except I was thinking of something else. The meeting room had also been refurbished and there was one large leather chair at the head of the table. My colleague attending with me said "I'm having that" but looked puzzled when I asked if it swivelled! I smirked again.
