To bookend the day nicely there's a sleeping man next to me on the train. This one is thinner, with more hair and not snoring

Oh how I miss the days of commuting up to London, pix!!!

Ooh just remembered that train journey I had ages ago when I was actually sitting next to a CJ-a-like!! I couldn't wait to tell you all about it. I had to tense all my muscles with the effort not to snuggle into his shoulder and lick him all over

woof didn't your floor routine with the pineapple bring tears to your eyes and those of the spectators? I think you had to be stretchered off before you could finish the finale with the watermelon.

I'm definitely getting old, it's taken me all day to get over my lunchtime drinking session yesterday!

kelly how are the little ones?

Did anyone catch up with GBBO or Dr F from last night? I don't want to spoil GBBO for anyone that hasn't seen it yet. I do love the way Tamal not only lip bites but sucks in the corner of his mouth!

No, no, no orph it wasn't the pineapple double-entry salko toe-curler or the water melon bouncing boob bobabout and bang eye-watering finale that caused a stretcher alert - it was the congratulatory body surf along the over-excited prostrate Ukranian Ring team before the said fruit could be removed that necessitated a 999 call. On the plus side the boys sort of either ate or internally absorbed two of their five a day...

rich I saw the first 20 mins of Dr Foster. Ill watch the rest tonight. Did you see it? I've got to say I'm really disappointed in Simon. Gemma'd better not take him back!

Thanks for asking rich. The twins mostly now have really dry coughs. When they get colds etc, it mostly goes to their chest. They're better than what they were. DD is fine now. School for her tomorrow I think. Although me and DH feel is if we're coming down with what the kids had.

I was looking on LT's Instagram page and she, her boyfriend and some mates must've gone to the Japanese Grand Prix last week. Her sister lives over there. Some gorgeous photos. There's a nice one of her and her boyfriend standing together. I was pretending it was one of Molly and CJ...

Been out straight from work tonight and had to pop in here before putting the lights out.

Do you reckon we'll have started thread XXVI by Sunday? It's looking that way to me.

I fell asleep this evening on the sofa, we had the fire on which is fatal! Of course now I'm wide awake.

I saw DrF, I just do t get why she isn't ripping up his clothes and going "mental". There really needs to be twist or i am sure there will be a lot of disappointed viewers.

ilove based on the last two watch alongs we will need a new thread!

Hi, all. Am writing the NZ story...planning to move away from rugby back to military matters soon. We did not get this series till May/June this year so heaps to catch up on. The watch along sounds great.
Thought I might need to go into treatment for my CJ addiction. Glad that others have watched hundreds of times.
I often wonder if Ben Aldridge reads any of this...and what he thinks.

Hi kuia!
Welcome to the madness! We're all CJ addicts. We think BA is aware of our threads and hope that he doesn't read them (well secretly hope he does and makes him laugh) Glad you have come to say hello! You are our furthest away member

The watch along has been great fun so far. Some of the ladies from Australia have been getting up early to watch along.

Hi kuia (can I shorten your name?), so pleased you popped in .... Yes, a year on, we are still here! Mental, or wot!!! Really enjoying your story. Have you read the other ffs, lots of the other authors are on here too :)

Question...How on earth did the rest of the crew not hear the conversation as Molly followed CJ up to Sohail under the sheet? Any opinions? Always find it a bit hard to swallow that the conversation was private. Or did I miss something?

Perhaps the Aussies might like to invite them to Queensland or Uluru after their trip here. Very cheap airfares across the Tasman at present.

Morning all and hello kuia

Its lovely that you've popped in to say hello. Yes the CJ adoration is indeed worldwide. I'm still obsessed with CJ and Molly too as a lot of other OG fans are.

I'm really loving your FF story. Welcome along!!

Yep, have read nearly all of the other ffs. Am in awe of the writing talent, Love humorous ones. Who was it who tagged the 'pub curtain' costume from "Reign"? I think the whole thing is cheap and nasty and I'd like CJ to get a fulltime offer (preferably in Africa, early next year) so he doesn't have to do such tacky stuff to pay for their cocopops.

The radios are a 'push to talk' If you watch ep 1 you see CJ and Molly push a button before they talk. So no one would here the conversation as they walked to Sohail.

Meant to say, I'm loving your story!

Hello kuia and welcome. Glad you've joined us - now you can update us regularly with any more buff and perfectly thighed talented All Blacks following pixs excellent recommendation of SBW went down a treat last week

Ditto re Reign kuia it really is a pile of poo and the costume department are never going to win an Emmy anytime soon. Quite why BA continues to put himself through the embarrassing pub curtain cloak-wearing is a mystery; perhaps the $$$ is good and Canada is the closest he can get to cracking Hollywood

Hi, again. There is another game with the AB's 8.00am tomorrow our time, You'll need to work out your time,,,I realise I stuffed up the time difference thing in my last chapter.
A lot of the current crop are fast approaching their use by date and are a bit battered looking but the replacements are promising. Have a look at Julian Savea and Nehe Milner-Skudder, for openers. Lots have Pacific Island backgrounds, names and tattoos, called tatau, part of cultural traditions. Tell family stories etc on their bodies. Often done in the old fashioned ways with chisels etc.

Nah, cjwoofwoof, he really needs to save himself for Kenya. Perhaps he could "go on the sick" for a while like Moll's father. Could have persistent pain in his wounded leg, so long as they get the correct leg. Miraculously get better in January?

Welcome kuia

Rugby-wise I'm still mourning the lack of Leigh Halfpenny from the Wales squad, even MrP commented that I was missing him. Much like woof, Mr Halfpenny does look better when he remembers to put his teeth in

With a body like that pix I don't think we need worry about the teeth

The gaps do spoil the overall effect woof, when you occasionally glance up at his face

Hmm after extensive googling kuia I'm disappointed to note no topless pics of your recommendations Julian and Nehe, so I'm veering back to the man-fest that is Sonny Bill, purely to study his traditional tattoos obvs

Tbh I haven't even clocked Leigh's face as yet pix ; I'm more concerned the pic's not showing us a full length so to speak. Feeling slightly cheated that my ogling appreciation is only half-sated
