[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

As you were wenches... The bar is stocked up, the chaise is re-covered and ready for action, and all we have to do it... er. Wait until Friday.
Arse.

I was making a few general political comments too, so I think there were a few of us .

Well done on booking that appt helen & good luck with yours mouse.

Like your Stars Wars comparison madame, I've been reminded of Indiana Jones - third film beter than the second one in that series!

I feel they've responded to the s1 critics this series - less 'A Team' & more serious stories, but as the main attraction wasn't the serious bits, I felt the critics had missed the point. Not all drama has to be drowning in gritty social realism to justify it's existence.

Oh FFS sparks. I've never seen Star Wars either

Yes I agree with sparkles - aramis has had best of s2.

That is probably why I have been enjoying it more.

At beginning of series 1 I was quite taken with both dog and athos and didn't really notice aramis til ktq (how could I be so foolish?)

to badders for the iron. RIP.

Never seen star wars?

Are you very young (I.e. Under 30) those who are saying this?

This is reason enough for a drama to exist. Nothing else needed.

Didn't we decide which M were which SW characters early on last series? :)
Thank you for the sympathy wrt my iron.
I have ordered a black stealth iron.
It looks quite militaristc and scary...

Yes. Absolutely. I am very young, a mere slip of a thing. I am definitely not old enough to be Dog's mother.

(Ok, I'm just a contrary bugger really )

There you are my pretty

Stealth black iron? badders

sorry elk

I think it's irons and also defeats your nemesis.
Elk...mushed banana on your thighs?

Just had a 1:15 phone call - phew. Am hungry now!

Yes - Madame's DS kicked off the Star Wars / Musketeer comparison I seem to remember. goodness knows when that was. Hmmm....

Madame's DS says:
Dog = han solo (his fave)
Aramis = luke (his 2nd fave)
Connie = princess leia
Milady = the emperor
Cardinal = darth vader
Porthos = lando calrissian
Athos = chewbacca.

He also calls their swords "metal light sabres" or "dingy sticks"

Badders says:
Athos is most def not chewbacca...that's obv porthos!,
Athos is Han
Dog is luke
Aramis is lando calrissian
Trev is obi wan
Cardinal obv darth vader

Madame:
Just pointing out that han cannot be athos. Han is funny, light, irresponsible, roguish, and a randy flirty saucepot with the ladies.

Not a miserable repressed alcoholic.

(Clearly ds was wrong. han is aramis.)

Comtesse:
And really Luke is Luke. Dog. Young impetuous, natural talent which needs refining. Wouldn't shag but like in a wholesome way and enjoy character.

Me:
Dog = luke
Aramis = han
Connie = princess leia
Milady = darth vader
Cardinal = the emperor
Porthos = chewbacca
Athos = obi-wan
Treville = yoda

Cinnamon
Treville as Yoda ? Very insulting you are, small green goblin he is not, squeaky voice he has not.

WW
Athos as Obi-Wan! Played in snarky Athos style

Salt as Jabba

Liam Neeson as Qi-Gon.

Helen

Just been gazing stupefied looking at those Athos gifs again. The top two and the bottom two are from different takes, and someone, someone had the job of artfully rearranging his fuck me it's sexy, sweat soaked fringe and the hair over his face between the two

I've too much time on my hands

Oh and Elk?

and awe and Helen's total recall memory

Oh yeah, total recall. (as if)

Not to worry. I forget most things really.

Got a bit excited in the last post - too many 'head's

It's ok, the leash is one of those retractable ones.

Oof!!! That's a powerful reeling action!

Even for someone who's not seen Star Wars, those are funny. Thanks for posting helen.

But for the love of Jeff, will someone kick me off here and make me do some jobs?

Lunch first though.......

bloody likewise Fancy

I've have got stuff to do today, honestly

Lunch would be a lot easier to prepare if i didn't have a cat in my jumper. Which I am wearing
