Put a melon on your head, get yer jugs --of ale-- out, it's our Birrrthday! BBC Musketeers Swagger Inn thread 83

[SparklesRedHotChileLeather]

It's time to party with those handsome Musketeers to celebrate ONE YEAR and 94,000 posts of wenching

GO!

I would like to point out that I don't mind neighbours, I just would like preferably a field between me and my nearest neighbours. I like to see them, from a distance, but not hear them

Ok, back from the dentist. The thing with the deep scale wasn't too bad, but I reacted to the local anaesthetic and went all of a dither and felt as if my face was on fire. It took me a good hour to recover. I also ate my lunch a tad too soon and although I didn't eat my mouth I couldn't stop the saliva escaping from it. Not pretty.

Ooo, THAT video. I remember the afternoon Comtess found it and none of TeamTom were any use for anything for the rest of the day.

I'm not keen on neighbours either WW, particularly when DH forgets to put the dustbin out before clearing off to golf and I have to go to the end of the drive in my dressing gown hoping no-one will see me, and they all choose that particular moment to emerge.

I bet you look fab in your dressing gown Apes

Well done Apes for posting that vid again. He really is the most divine isn't he.

(also glad the dentist was ok too!)

Right, off out. I have done absolutely fuck all. This is Not Good.

laters.

ww I love your approach to neighbours.

Afternoon everyone

Did you have a rewatch norah?

That's a lovely house ww, but I do see what you mean about the neighbours, it all feels very exposed. It's enough to make you yearn for a privet hedge. Hope you have a fantastic evening.

Hope the coffee's still keeping you going issy

Ow, apricot, that sounds unpleasant (the reaction to the anaesthestic, not you in your dressing gown ), are you ok now?

I'm on to the tea right now fancy.

I'm a tea girl myself except for a mid-morning coffee in the staff room (mainly because the builder's brew out tealady does would strip varnish). The rest of the time I can frequently be seen wandering along the level 4 corridor of the Library clutching a thermos mug of Earl Grey (I was such a happy bunny the day they relaxed the food and drink rules and I could finally have a mug of tea at my desk).

Apes dressing gowns on drives are perfectly acceptable, I'm sure there are various leading ladies in Noel Coward-sque films from the 40s and 50s who wafted around their houses and egardens in their dressing gowns. Just breeze through it as if it the most natural thing in the world, dharling Sorry to hear about the anaesthetic reaction 'though, I doubt even a Margaret Lockwood style haughty look could counteract the dribble Hope it is all back to feeling normal now

WW I concur about the neighbours. Too close and too few hedges! I though Swedes didn't like talking to each other (or that Finns? ) We are in a terrace, our fence blew down last winter and we didn't get it fixed until this autumn for various reasons. All summer we were open plan to our lovely neighbours (who are really lovely), and neither family used our back gardens half as much as we normally would - we hung out the washing and that was that, none of the usual slobbing about trying to catch the sun when it briefly turns up. It didn't hit me until we got the fence back up and suddenly it felt more private, cosy and useable.

Glad to hear you're a tea wench at heart issy, coffee is a foul brew.

cheers!

SpoilerTV has selected Aramis being pushed out of the window as one of its top 10 most memorable TV moments of the week.

In today's snow-filled update, although I fell over quite a lot, and couldn't actually see what I was skiing on some of the time, I managed not to flatten DH today, and don't appear to have permanently injured anyone (yet)

Chalet Host was channelling hung-over Athos this morning though obviously not as grimy.

Hope Carolina's interview went well.

Sympathies to Apricot re the dentist - I shall need to revisit mine when we're home. (Sodding tooth still not right)

Snogs to all other wenches, esp. LetUs on hayloft duties. NB - you shouldn't need to change the hay every day unless people have been actively messy up there and even then you can just burn selected bit of the bedding. Feel free to toast marshmallows over the fire as well, there's a stash under the loose floorboard up there.

Bit put out that NO FUCKER wanted to hear about my dream tbh.

I had sausage for tea.

What dream Norah?

In other news, Chalet host just told me "you know where to come if you want a sweaty one" How did I not go bright red and smirk?!

To be fair, he was talking about a tubular elastic bandages (the sort you can get for injuries) and how I could borrow his since I hadn't actually got round to buying one for yesterday's wrenched elbow. But still. Smirk.

Fancy you noticed I was up 'early'. I did go back to bed after a cup of tea and got some much needed sleep. Not sure what actually woke me. Could have been nerves I suppose.

Interview went reasonably well though I fucked up on a couple of questions but redeemed it on a couple of others. Hoping they at least cancel each other out. The person I thought it may have been earmarked for actually never even applied. There were two of us in the end. The thing in his favour as opposed to me is that he is already a team leader which is only one grade down from supervisor whereas I am two grades down. I on the other hand have managed a full department in a previous job so do have management experience of a larger number including supervisors. Against him is that his face doesn't fit - he is my friend by the way and he acknowledges that himself. We're neither of us confident of the outcome but neither of us unduly worried. If he gets it then I will go for his current job and I would probably get that. Hey Ho!

We now have at least an overnight wait to see if one of us will get it or whether they are going to now advertise outside of the company.

Thor? Oh I do love Thor.

Apes I can't imagine you looking any but the epitome of glamour. Do you team your dressing gown with marabou trimmed mules ??

Helen I am über-jel of your skiing antics, it's going to be years before I get to do that again. Did chalet host stick head in a bucket? Where are you?, any hot ski instructors on the piste?

Norah I didn't know you had a dream, I hope it was better than mine, and involved marshmallows, melted chocolate and Athos Porthos

I really like all the new marvel films.

Hmmm. That's a good idea for some Tav lit that is elk (bet you wish you'd never started eh? )
When is part three going to ready for me to record? I like the idea of wenchies listening to it on their way to work.

I never have dreams like that. Loki and Heimdall though, I so would.

My last dream was about me having a motorbike lesson with big Tony (my instructor) and was pretty dull. Except at the end when he produced toddlermouses push along Winnie the pooh car which I rode around shit local town whilst everyone pointed and laughed.

Yay carolina! sounds like win win all round, hopefully.

Arf at mouses dream.

I also love the marvel films. I NEED to see avengers assemble.

Nora I didnt ask about yyour dream cos I didnt know who the people were. Poor you nora, that dream sounds just rubbish . how about I swap you my dreams, which are, er, non existent.

ACTUALLY. I did actually have a dream last night! I only remember cos I woke up in the middle. It had aramis in it!!!! We were doing something really boring, I think we were filling in some forms. Cheers, subconscious.

And did it have jeremy renner in it? Did it fuck.

WTHELL is that waste of a dream, Madame?

What is actually the matter with our subconsciouses?

I know. Wtaf???

And for all I know, cos I only remember my dreams if I wake up in the middle of them, I get up to stuff like that with aramis every night. You know, queuing at the post office, buying online car insurance...

Be still my throbbing vaj.

Tooth's fine if a bit tender, thanks wenches.

Issy I can just imagine myself in one of those Noel Coward films, with a long cigarette holder, although I don't smoke.

Norah I don't know who Thor is but it sounds like a good dream.

Fingers crossed for the job Carolina.

Elk, no, I'm barefoot everywhere, even down the drive soles like a crocodile .

Helen you're very brave. I slipped on ice outside my back door and was in trouble with my back for 2 months. Hope you're having a good time.
