Captain James and Our Girl Addicts XL

[icemistOBE]

2 years ago a thread on Our Girl was started with these words ^Anyone watching this drivel?
although slightly enjoyed the family dynamics going on last night, unfortunately DD's favourite programme and in fact Guardian seems to recommend it^

40,000 posts, fireside wrestling contests, fan-fiction, autograph requests, carol concerts, CJ Grand Tours later we are about to watch the last episode of series 2. And that first post is a distant memory.

Stay Alert, Stay Focused, Stay Alive

good plan pix

I'm in! I don't mind heights.

Ooh yes, secret spying things, I'm in. So hard not to laugh out,reading this at work, two years down the line, still not learnt!

Slight deviation from the current theme but I had to share this. I was in a meeting this afternoon and a new project was being discussed. It's going to be in four phases. One person started: "Phase 1 is xxxx, Phase 2 is xxxx...." so when it got to Phase 3, I was expecting him to say"That's you Elvis" and then I would see a twirly finger. These guys have no idea of my secret obsession!

My God, are we having head phones too... that's mega!

What's our mission ladies?

How about balaclavas with beards?

Excellent nickel!

Nickel I have just picked myself up off the floor after laughing hysterically at that picture. For some reason it brings back memories of Badrai in the back of the truck.

Seriously, though, you have found exactly the look we should be aiming for. A very suitable homage to the SF boys with that little Mumsnet twist of being hand knitted! Love it!

nickel I want one-pix, mads, reckon you could manage?

Have you got a pattern for that nickel?

I have a pattern for this one mooj! Was gonna make MrMads one for Xmas! Ps this isn't me

I name the first one the Spanner and the second the Jackson

nickel I love it, dual purpose, a cunning disguise and keeps you warm.

Heating on, dressing gown and G&T, chill out Friday

Cheers, rich

Cheers pix, love your swizzle stick

The product of two G&Ts and nothing on tv!

pix and mads knitting a beard for Elvis

Sorry distracted by pesky kids wanting to be taken to their after school stuff, needing dinner and the like! I don't have a pattern, and can't find one for that ace one, despite extensive idle googling, but found one on ravelry for something similar (if you knit it all in one colour). Free download via here. Will have to give it a go, but don't have any beardy colour wool at the mo ... Ooh, might have to go wool shopping, ah well!!

Love that rich :)

Brilliant rich

You've got me and mads down to a tee (was that a very stiff gin, rich)

I found a brilliant beard pattern a couple of weeks ago nickel, a real spanner special

Oh ladies just had to post as watching series 1 DVD for first time in about 18 months rather than just clips on YouTube. It's so amazing! Only got to ep 3 so far but I'm totally hooked as ever. I did in the end quite enjoy the new series as a bit of trashy TV and definitely came to appreciate what Elvis was bringing to the table but it is just incomparable and such a shame that the CJ character became such a pointless aside. Feel really sad that we will never get to see the AMAZING chemistry between CJ and Molly again, boo. Anyway sorry to interrupt back to the beards!

Morning everyone. Hope you are out enjoying the lovely sunshine if you have it. Glorious blue skies and sunshine down here in the wild west!

Well, the OG 2 DVD has just plopped through my letterbox and I'm weighing up whether to binge watch or wait for a wet weekend - looking outside I'd say it's probably the latter. The only thing I might look at is the 'Behind the Scenes' feature and there is the usual picture gallery a lot of which has probably appeared already.

Anyway, have a good one and hope "All is well in the world!"

Afternoon. Wet and windy here in the nirth west. Treated myself to a pedicure in readiness for my holiday tomorrow. 22 degrees on the Cote d'Azur. The young girl who did my nails was a fan of OG2. Seems her husband is a fan of MK and she then got hooked herself. She was very impressed with my inside knowledge (and the signed photo).

Need to do some last minute ironing now.

Nirth? Think that should be north!

ilove how lovely escaping the wet weather for sunshine, lucky you.

It's actually sunny down south but chilly. First cross country fixture today and convinced DH to take DS. We are off to 50th birthday party tonight and staying over in the hotel so the boys will be home alone... Giving eldest sons track record I'm best not to over think it and just be prepared for tomorrow and possible fall out!
