Don't worry, Molly, CJ will look at you just fine, before long...very fine indeed Blush

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:19

Oh yes, ilove, I've lost track of how many times we've done this. I have to say that this series...in poetic terms....feels like another country...and I don't mean Afghan.

First time we see headset and sternface combined.

When they get to the FOB they play that music which was used at the end of Vanity Fair when Becky first sees Rawdon Crawley (bit of a doppleganger for CJ) check out Tom Bateman!

I know I've said it before but I wasn't really engaged as such until the end of the next episode. I remember emailing a friend at work (who had also been watching it) and said "I think I'm in love with a fictitious character!"

Oh it's Pen Girl! As we've mentioned before she's got a boxful at home.

Tell me - did this tour actually last six months as opposed to the few days when Georgie’s around to jinx things.

The trouble was eejit, the timeline was pretty well fudged.

I love the atmospheric music. It feels poignant and you sense how strange and alien it is to Molly. She's so young and scared of letting everyone down and so alone in such a male dominated environment.

Sohail is a pretty scary character.

eejit it definitely feels as if it's much longer. There are dates given throughout the series and most of it takes place on this tour.

I reckon we'd all feel out of our comfort zone in some war torn area like that. It must have been very hard for her with no other women to talk to.

Ah Captain Azizi, nice to see you again!

Captain Azizi, it makes me feel so sad for what follows.

eejittwo · 13/09/2018 21:26

Is beardy boy is Sohail? And there’s Azizi.

Taxpayers' money wasted on cheap pens eh?

Watch out here comes Pen girl again - she really wanted a ruler and a rubber Molly, she's going for the full geometry set.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:27

Ah, CJ is starting to loosen up a bit and he can smile. Molly is warming to his handsome face. She's given a really good answer and he is surprised...in a good way!

For once Molly, you said the right thing and managed to impress your captain.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:28

Listen to her CJ, she knows better than you.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:29

You know what CJ says about never being happier than when he's on tour. It shows that he's happier now.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:30

I bet Molly's hungry now, she missed her dinner.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:31

Oh dear...contact. Smurf is quick to anger.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:32

I don't blame Molly for pannicking. She must have been terrified to be the target.

Rhubarb01 · 13/09/2018 21:32

Only one 'n' in panic, but probably a large P.

Smurf goes crazy.
