Our Girl & Captain James Addicrs XLII

[icemistOBE]

Brand spanking new thread.

Still around, just being having a bad few weeks.

Loving the stuff the cast are sharing from their time away from filming.

No story leaks as yet, imagine if they do outside uk filming when finished in SA there maybe leaks then, but more because the paps will be looking for MK.

Evening

Still here but I've been a bit busy recently with family stuff. The very sad and distressing news has also put a natural dampener on things for me and many other people I expect.

Just wondering ice if you have any intel about the possible broadcast date for this year? I wonder if it's going to be September or possibly a bit later this year. I wouldn't mind something to look forward to during the dark evenings of Autumn. (Elvis climbing in through the window would do!) For now I am having to make do with Poldark but I'm a bit fed up with Ross - his messy hair and stubble are a bit off-putting to me and I still haven't forgiven him for his 'Elizabeth' moment in series 2. Definitely need more OG, as CJ would say, "ASAP".

Nothing yet rhubarb ** Although I did hear a rumour that as it's 3 x 4 episodes, they may not been shown all together.

As you know Rhu, Elvis can shin up my drainpipe any time!

Do you ever read a blog called 'Peter and Jane'? I know Nickel and pixie are fans and ice too I think. I found it via Facebook but it's not exclusively on there (I know you don't do FB). The writer has been doing a resume of this series' episodes and she is not enamoured at all. She's hilarious.

Agree it's time we had a few little snippets of info or more photos of Elvis and his canine friend.

Ooops meant in Peter and Jane she is doing a resume of each Poldark episode.

I have seen the 'Peter and Jane' summaries and they do make me laugh. I think what's annoying me as well is the fact that it just seems to be one tiny short scene after another. There aren't any 'guts' to it all for want of a better word. I think we can all handle a bit more dialogue and maybe a bit less gazing out to sea on windswept clifftops - lovely though it is.

Our Girl finally getting some recognition! Public votes, multiple voting allowed.

I'm still here!!!! I've just been so busy with work , I'm doing extra hours to earn extra pennies for when DS goes off to university!! The bank of mum and dad!!

I've also been watching Game of Thrones right from the beginning so I'm ready for the new season in July. Massive binge watching. It's really good!!

Just wondered how TG was when someone spoke to him this morning, was he happily enjoying the Sun in SA, maybe Icemist can share

Rich which university did No 1 son decide on eventually? Only about 6 weeks till the results come out.

Oh dear I know I was fed up of watering but didn't want everything drowning it has hardly stopped raining for two days!! We certainly don't get 'everything in moderation
do we. Just the day for more ff or photos.

Yorks same here. I am going out shortly for a long awaited retirement party. Very pleasant venue next to a canal with old fashioned barges etc. Doubt we'll be sitting outside. We've had 2 inches of rain so far this week!

Oooooh pixie you little monkey! Love the fact you've started writing again!

YorksOAP

Hello everyone very quiet again gardening, getting ready for school holidays etc takes all the time, I remember it well.

I have a confession to make I am being a traitor Tom Chambers/Sam Strachan is back in Casualty, I said earlier I had been a big fan in the past and still watch. Well it looks as if he is back fulll time so something to help the time along until OG3. I think there was someone else among us who was also a fan of Tom. Only second to Ben but certainly something to look forward to in the meantime. Hope everyone is ok we've been cutting hedges today I'm the sweeper upper and am now absolutely whacked. Have watched poldark but can't get hooked this time. Goodnight all

Sorry me again. Forgot to say I love the Aldo Smouldo fabulous description

Morning all.

Yorks I am a Tom Chambers fan. Loved him in Holby and won money on him when he was in Strictly a few years ago. Not so keen on his character in Casualty though, have to say.

I cut my hedge mid-May but with all the hot weather and then the torrential rain last week, it needed doing again. My elderly neighbour often does our dividing hedge but hasn't been so well of late and I was doing a tidy-up on it yesterday. When I'd finished (he was the sweeper-upper for me), I was just putting some bits in the bin when his other neighbour stormed round. She's 91 and doesn't get on with him for whatever reason. She started shouting at me that one of his trees was growing into her garage. I kept saying she needed to talk to him and she made stupid excuses - obviously wanted me to do it - but I quite like him and we have a fairly good neighbourly relationship so I'm not going to jeopardise that. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ended up getting the ladders out and sawing some thin branches off which were resting on her garage. He should have done it but gardening isn't a priority for him and I have fairly recently done some pruning for him as his garden is getting a bit of hand.

Like you Yorks, I was pretty shattered afterwards and have a few aches and pains today.

Meant to ask but is there anyone on here other than Rich who will admit to being a fan of The Real Housewives of Cheshire? It's a dreadful programme, though quite addictive, and I met one of the Housewives on Saturday.

Lovely shot of 2 section boys from director

Love the #AldoSmouldo tag too yorks it's been going a long time

And a other from the weekend.

pixie will like that second one ice!!

Been so quiet on here. Fantastic promo video from the ops tent for OG3. Love it :-)

Hilarious pix! They definitely need you on promotions.
