Just read it all back - very funny ladies. Kelly I saw the picture which I shall think of as CJ and Molly happy ever after. I've got a Tower of London poppy too bought in memory of my great grandfather who died in WW1. I was slightly outraged when DH suggested cleaning off the rust from the stem and painting it green - I said you can't do that it's a piece of art! Still in the box at the moment.

Pixie hope you managed that wee I wouldn't like to think CJ's responsible for a puddle somewhere in England.

Ilove I was the same as you last year - desperately searching around for any information. I started out talking on another thread but then found this one and read about all the frantic searches to find out where the church was etc and the theories that maybe there were two endings. The build up to episode 5 was amazing so much anxiety.

KellyHb · 11/10/2015 22:36

Great pic Wycombe I can't open it clearly though. I wonder if its my tablet?

Richtea19 · 11/10/2015 22:37

I love reading back on your comments, you almost don't need to watch it!

wycombe great picture, I don't remember seeing that one.

cjwoofwoof · 11/10/2015 22:38

Damn and blast my pesky kids ruining the last 40 mins. I knew I should've locked 'em in a cupboard of something. Bleedin fuming Angry Gonna watch it again, purely for research purposes of course, tomorrow. Glad I can re-read the thread back now for reliving a little CJ action, humph

pixieg1rl · 11/10/2015 22:39

CJs definitely responsible for a damp patch most weeks rhu

KellyHb · 11/10/2015 22:40

Yeah rhu ours is still in the box. Probably for months to come. Hmm
Glad you saw picture. Love it. I'll think of it so I don't get too despondent if no Molly in S2 at all. It is a lovely happily ever after pic, isn't it.

Ilovelblue · 11/10/2015 22:41

I thought he thought he looked like Mr Foster from last week?

Rhubarb01 · 11/10/2015 22:52

I seriously doubt that the MN trending threads list is right. How we haven't made the list for the past two weeks is beyond me. I know that we switched threads mid watch but even so we're easily posting two hundred posts per week. That's a fair amount in an hour especially on a Sunday night. Might just make a few more next week.

pixieg1rl · 11/10/2015 22:55

His ego knows no bounds ilove Smile

Rhubarb01 · 11/10/2015 23:01

Well Pixie we all thought CJ had a big ego in episode 1 and we know how that turned out. There's just something so appealing about a big ego isn't there!

Just realised that orph's not here tonight which is surprising as Rupert's busy isn't he with the new series of Homeland?

BK28 · 11/10/2015 23:05

Wow that was some hour...just read through the posts and felt I was watching along with you! DP has just said he doesn't mind if I watch it now - feeling generous after having his fill of Everest!

Ilovelblue · 11/10/2015 23:17

It was fast and furious BK. I keep wondering how we will go on when the new series airs. It's almost impossible to take it all in AND type at the same time. It's a bit different with a series you know inside out.

Rhubarb I keep an eye on those trending headlines and you're right, we really should have been on there. Maybe we're blacklisted or something?

I do sometimes dip into those trending headlines for a giggle. I've only felt inspired to respond on one of the other threads and sadly, that was about the menopause. It got so medical and detailed though that I dropped off - half the acronyms I hadn't a clue about. There were some ladies on it who were clearly experiencing far worse symptoms than me.

Isn't orphan away for the weekend?

MaddieMoo82 · 11/10/2015 23:38

All caught up. Not the same as watching it at the same time as you all but meant I could rewind and replay certain bits all the bits with CJ in

Nickel45 · 12/10/2015 06:47

Morning all. Missed the watch along (it's been a long week, unbelievably fell asleep!) but relived it through your posts, brilliant! Think I might have to watch while the little bleeders are at school today. Looking forward to next weeks :)

icemistOBE · 12/10/2015 07:11

Morning!

Great watch-along last night. Still think it's amazing that a year later we are still watching with the same enthusiasm as when it was first shown.
And the wtf when to be continued came up on screen rather than a preview of episode 5 ShockSmile

Early morning Monday. I really need to stop drinking on a Sunday night.

Nickel45 · 12/10/2015 08:17

Woke up early (after falling asleep before 9!) and finally caught up on the ff, massive big thank yous to rhu, woof, lola, kuia, whaj and greenstuff (in case you are lurking!), hope I haven't missed anyone, but just in case thank you to you too!

Onlygirljen · 12/10/2015 08:50

Third night of disturbed sleep, and I've stopped being the last healthy person in my house. Happy Monday.....Confused

cjwoofwoof · 12/10/2015 09:57

Morning! Still sulking that my Ep 4 was interrupted - going to do an iPlayer version and relive the comments, but it's not the same Angry

Hope all you poorlies/sleepyheads feel better soon - it's that time of year when germs start to permeate and you need to stock up on Night Nurse and get some extra zzzzs in. How good would it be if CJ was tending to your every need on your sick bed and in it preferably Gves a whole new meaning to blowing the cobwebs away... Grin

kuiakaituhi · 12/10/2015 11:20

While you're getting autumn germs, we're getting spring fevers...lots of NZer's with allergy/asthma type runny nose and eye sneezy things, usually caused my pollen, from privet and gorse imported here long ago by immigrants from you know where!! Keep well, stay in bed if you need to. We just take antihistamines. and blame the Poms, of course.

Did it hard going into my office this morning. Had lots of bright and shiny teenage faces waiting for me, though. They remind me of why I do what I do. Thought a lot about why I love Qaseem so much...we have a lot in (working) common.

Am writing a companion piece to the one I finished a few days ago,finding it quite hard to keep tight and focussed. Finding myself annoyed pissed off totally with Smurf more than I realised, especially when his temper tantrum while the other two are kissing turns scarily like Ramsay Bolton's wicked sneer and leer. What do others think of the way his character develops?

kuiakaituhi · 12/10/2015 11:25

Woof I'm not sure that CJ would do sick?? Might gonna send sick people off to run around the compound, shake it off. Did you see my post a couple of days ago about the dreadlocked All Black and his eyeliner? His name is Ma'a Nonu, has a beautiful little daughter.

cjwoofwoof · 12/10/2015 11:45

Hello kuia yes I was thinking what CJ could do to you to help alleviate feelings of ill health in general, like a back massage, a little Vicks vapor rub on your chest, bed bath, that sort of thing. Now you mention it I think he'd look mighty fine in full surgical scrubs with a very long stethoscope. As he's partial to silly hats the medical cap would suit him down to the ground with just a few neck nape curls peeping out...hmm I'm feeling healthier already Grin

As for Mr Nonu I admire his scoring prowess and wonderfully crafted body etc, but his penchant for looking like Amy Winehouse I'm struggling with I'm afraid. Back to Sonny Boy ogling I'm afraid, sigh

Ilovelblue · 12/10/2015 13:06

Kuia I've been thinking about CJ being ill and I'm not saying he's the sort of guy to go down with man flu, but when you picture him in the hospital bed looking all weak and weary, I reckon he could do proper sickness quite well.

Richtea19 · 12/10/2015 13:14

ilove CJ as a patient, all I can think off is him laying in the hospital bed, looking vulnerable! I'm coming over all hot at the thought of it!

I've yet to manage a watch along, always too much going on at home with the usual Sunday eve dramas of where's my PE kit (still dirty in the unpacked bag from Friday) etc etc.

I think we will burst when series 2 airs!!! ice is there any fresh Intel on BA being recruited?

Ilovelblue · 12/10/2015 13:15

I know Richtea, if it had been real, you'd have jumped into bed to comfort him, wouldn't you?
