Our Girl and Captain James XLVII

[Ilovelblue]

Not much longer to wait out for the Nigeria episodes! Some of us are still mourning the death of Elvis.

I've just caught up with the last two episodes. Aaaagggghhhhh!!! This is a absolutely ludicrous. Why does CJ never mention Molly? Even if the first series hadn't been all about her, surely it would be normal to mention your wife & child in these sorts of situations? Kingy does and others refer to family. Not CJ though. He's too busy making stupid decisions to think about his wife & child.
If I was in 2 section, I would be desperately waiting for it to be disbanded so I could join a section whose boss doesn't seem intent on getting me killed, who doesn't have a colleague who can't obey orders and actually has the requisite number of colleagues to be able to function properly. It's not surprising they have SC following them. They need it.
I was laughing to myself watching the scenes when Molly was a hostage as I was expecting her to say something along the lines of "in my experience" and that is something you don't want someone to have experience of!

I liked this week's episode much more probably because there was much more BA. I think it's very believable that Molly and CJ's relationship wouldn't last with all that separation but I don't believe CJ would fall for Georgie. His mate was involved with her and that's against the 'blokes code' isn't it?

Evening all! Have just seen a load of photos of BA arriving at Aberdeen airport yesterday for Rose Leslie's wedding and one of him at the wedding today. Just when you think he can't get any more stunning.....it's criminal how one person can be so drop dead gorgeous!

I saw those kazza. Yes, he looked good enough to eat! I very much liked the one at the wedding today. Very tasteful (and not a baseball cap in sight). Yummy.

Yes ILove looks really smart in that pic. There is a really good one of him with Claire Rafferty on her Instagram. Look really great. She has posted quite a few pics of the LAMDA crowd who have obviously all been invited to the wedding.

Yes, I saw the LAMDA crew photos on CR's instagram - unfortunately, the back to front baseball cap was very much in attendance, even inside! Why does he do it, esp when those gorgeous curls are underneath! Maybe by playing down his loveliness, he trying to give the other blokes a chance they have no hope!

Evening. Just checking in to make sure the watchalong is on for this evening.

I've been away for couple of days as we've been doing the University Open Day trail. A long couple of days in very crowded places and a lot of time on my feet plus a lot of driving, so I'm feeling a bit tired. However, it wasn't all bad as yesterday I was in Manchester and, having wisely decided to do a park and ride via train, I spotted what I believe were two or three OG locations on our way in, so that was exciting for me, although not so thrilling for DD, who gave me a few blank looks when I whispered, "That looks like Dr Dull's flat" or "It's the bridge," and confirmed her suspicions that mother is definitely losing it. We're off on more travels next week but at least it's all concentrated in one short period.

I haven't re-watched episode 3 yet so I'm looking forward to another gander and natter. Hopefully?

Rhu I would have come to meet you in Manchester even if it was only an hour in the university coffee shop! I wish you'd said!

I've been at the disabled centre where I volunteer manning the plant stall (most of which I have grown myself) as they had an open gardens afternoon. I'm totally whacked now. It was very hot but fortunately I was able to sit under a tree for a large proportion of the afternoon when not selling the plants.

I'm up for the watchalong but seriously hope I don't fall asleep beforehand.

See you later.

I will forego Poldark and enjoy Viv Groskop's episode recap on the Guardian website in blissful ignorance, for the wake to tonight's watchalong.

sake, for goodness' sake!
BTW - if there's football on at the moment, my wifi will probably be VERRRRRY slow.

Ready to go ladies?

I'll set off.

TG's fluffy cloud idea of a tour of Belize. Not really like a holiday resort!

I am here. T'internet was playing up. Just at the first part in the bar with Brains trying to impress the girl.

Not sure about Brains' idea of chatting up the barmaid.

They all seem a bit thick here don't they. Is that the bearded lady?

Not the sort of place I'd want to frequent!

And now for the history lesson and the politics briefing thanks to Rab!

Can't quite understand that Rab has waited until now to Google Belize/British Honduras. In Nepal, he was busy spouting all sorts of facts as they walked along. Would he not have researched it in advance?

I wonder who has the tattoo stating "This too will pass!"

Oh hold on to your beret CJ. You're about to be b*llocked.

This is all a bit odd with The Brigadier. I'm surprised he wasn't called to a proper meeting back in the UK. Sad eyes from CJ

Why has the Brigadier waited till now to go through the report? Would they not have done this in the UK BEFORE he went on another tour? In fact, if there were doubts, would he have been allowed on another foreign tour?

Why is she in here? I don't know? Why did you ask her here? So it was you Charles. What is the point of the conversation. CJ looks annoyed.

Oh and is it really professional to involve Georgie in CJ's telling off and to let her know CJ has written about her and Elvis' relationship in his report? Sorry, don't think this would happen in real life.

No Rosabaya here.
