Ooh- that was interesting from KD Love how he called Jen queen if smut

Off to read next uodate

No mention of Zombies though he mustn't like that story

Well, I take my hat off to klipdoctor. I admit he has at times come across as rather full of himself and I didn't agree with some of his author notes but that is an original and entertaining way of getting his point across.

Can't believe he didn't reference spo though. Even if it's not his cup of tea, it's such a unique ff.

whajeb to be honest I'm slightly relieved to have waved CJ off earlier. I mentioned previously that he had blisters; well, so do I ...

Shoot me down in flames if you like but I have a theory on the KD thing today. As the OGA twitter imploded where most of his fans were, and he is now saying that all the MN writers are great, isn't that a good way of canvassing for more fans from this very civilised thread?

I have a feeling he may be ever so slightly wrung out as well because as I waved him off on the train I called, "See you again soon" and I'm not sure but he did seem to be mouthing, "Not if I see you first..."

Onefor I was thinking exactly the same. I do believe there was a very definite motive there.

Oh onlygirl klipdoctor couldn't be that desperate for acclaim devious could he?!!

You really think? I just read it as a way of answering his critics. I do think though when he stresses how it's not realistic for people to get better from injury so quickly etc - surely it's a writer's skill to compress events and edit them? Noone really wants to read the full 6-8 months recovery! Still seems as if he thinks he's right.

Break it down and there is a definite subliminal message.....

My brain hurts

lola I'm no good at subliminal!

ilove totally off topic but since you're the horticultural expert I wondered if you knew the answer to this. I was given a lovely bouquet of roses and lysanthus for my bday. The roses were already in bloom but the other flowers were in bud - lots and lots of buds. The roses are now pretty much finished but the lysanthus has never opened up. Should i have done something to make them bloom?

Not me orphan - I just read it and take my hat off to him. That's the way to deal with the idiots who leave personal abuse - with humour and good grace.

Oops sorry onlygirl!! Just realised it was onefor! CJ must have addled my brains as well as other body parts.

I guess I break it all down from previous work roles where we followed certain processes to investigate things. Always looking for the deeper, hidden meaning and message.

Anyways.... onto more important topics:
I am getting worried about CJ on his big trains, planes and automobiles tour. I hope he lasts the course. Realise I am at the back of the queue but hope he makes it my way. ;o)

I wish he was coming back to addle my body parts!! Speaking of which good luck happy holidays pixie!

Problem is that particular troll probably won't have the wit to read it and take the point.

I wonder if CJ's added pixie as his plus one for the mile high club?

I'm a terrible flyer orphan. CJ will most probably be holding my hair back as I puke.

Still, he and some of his body parts will probably be glad of the rest.

orphan wouldn't say I am the best with cut flowers - my skill is more suited to growing the plants in the first place. However, I would hazard a guess that they were picked far too early and that's why they've never opened properly. It certainly won't be anything you've done. I think it's a definite skill the way you pick the flowers and store them ahead of arranging them. I'm only good for picking flowers out of the garden and putting them in a vase. I've had quite expensive Interflora arrangements sent which lasted barely a week yet had others from supermarkets which have lasted three weeks so there's no doubt an element of luck in there too.

Speaking of trolls, I couldn't believe the horrendous one to Markab that you mentioned earlier. Just because it didn't have a happy ending and it was a bit dark, that's no reason to slag it off. When are people going to realise that there are hundreds of disabled ex servicemen that really do become alcoholics or commit suicide. That portrayal is probably more true to life. On comic relief bake off this week, they featured a charity for ex servicemen who are trying to get over their PTSD. When you see the state of some of these guys compared to photos of when they were serving, it is very distressing to see a lot of them on the scrap heap and why the government doesn't do more to help.

Heathrow is getting us in the mood by playing Barry White..

Have been out of touch all day, nightmare!! But just wanted to say have lovely holiday pixie :)

We managed to pick CJ up at Heathrow. I'm not sure MrPixie is fully convinced by my saying that I'd hired an au pair to look after DS on holiday, but once he gets birdwatching he'll be too distracted to notice a thing.

Things were going well until we checked in. CJ point blank refused to climb into his suitcase. He was quite distressed and kept on gibbering something about "she'll tie me to the gas meter again!" and "not the iced buns!"

He was making quite a scene at this point I was worried about airport security taking an interest. I had to put MrPixie in the suitcase in the end. Once I said he was likely to get 8 hours uninterrupted sleep that way he was quite keen.

We're currently reliving his soft play experiences from his stay with jen as DS is in the play area. He looks a bit nervous at the sight of the padded wipe clean surfaces and netting. I think he might be developing PTST (post traumatic sexy times)

Hehe pixie I wish I'd sent you my little book of knots and my special bondage ropes because I found it quite useful when he was being difficult.
