I was actually quite aroused by brokeback mountain..is that wrong? God, he's just ultra fit! (chanelling my teenage self here!)

RTKangaMummy · 21/06/2007 19:18

I wouldn't descibe ice cream seller as a career

More of a job imho

BoingBoing · 21/06/2007 19:23

I'm sitting with my fingers in my ears singing lalala and ignoring all hobbit feet comments. He's perfection and i'm not going to argue about it.

Does this mean I have to sit down and watch Brokeback Mountain now? it never struck me as having the potential to be arrousing for a mere girly.

slayerette · 21/06/2007 19:29

It depends what pushes your buttons! I found it v moving and gorgeously acted but not arousing!

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 19:29

Perhaps it was a bad camera angle on the feet...(backtracking furiously), he IS perfection of course!! Pay me no mind, I'm having a brokeback mountain moment..

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 19:31

Yes, MOVING and very well acted, well of course, that's what I meant to say, ahem, ha, did I say something else?! Remiss of me getting my words muddled..

BoingBoing · 21/06/2007 19:35

You're forgiven. And I can't say feet are the most important part of his anatomy.

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 19:37

See, I wasn't that struck on Lee, feet aside, but do you know, I'm getting whipped up into it, you girls are evoking mass MN Lee hysteria and I fear it is beginning to claim me..I'll know more on 15th July I suppose..

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 19:43

Have you got good tickets Binkle?

I've just set that NOW photo as my desktop

I'm going to try to watch some of the youtube clips tonight, and that is showing some determination I can tell you. It took me over half an hour to get a 1min 45sec clip earlier Bloody computer.

Lyra did you get my CAT?

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 19:45

I've got forward stalls for both shows, but whether they are any good or not remains to be seen. I just plumped for the most expensive and hoped for the best!

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 19:50

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Very pleased to hear it and I hope you have a wonderful view of the Sex God that is Lee.

BoingBoing · 21/06/2007 19:53

I'm very jealous binkle. I think when I get paid next week I'm going to order a couple of the best tickets I can find for around Christmas, dump DS with DH and a few tips on changing nappies, then take a willing volunteer for company.
Gah! I can't imagine they'll be touring Cornwall any day soon, more's the pity.

slayerette · 21/06/2007 19:57

Um - good luck with the seats around Christmas - DH and I tried to book for then and all the decent seats for the dates we tried were gone

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 20:20

Oggs, sorry, not read all the thread, could you not get tickets at all? I took a big risk and booked mine weeks ago, before they were down to the last four I think so I guess I was lucky to get Lee, though I would've been happy to see Lewis too. I bought them then with a view to ebaying if it turned out I didnt fancy it. How many tickets do you need? We have three booked for august show but if we didnt end up going (dh's work committments change all the time) I could give you first refusal on them as I will have already been once in july with my sis.

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 20:20

Gah, just tried to watch the videos of the ADWD site and it's useless. My connection is just not fast enough to do streaming, and I've had to give up [oh woe is me emoticon]

I don't think there are many tickets left at all, that's why I'll be perched up in the Gods at the very back of the theatre

I'm taking my Dad's huge binoculars, and I'm even going to get some contact lenses again 'cos it's a pain using 'noculars when you've got glasses .

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 20:31

Binkle, Binkle, what dates in Aug are they for????

My prob is that I live in Scotland. I visit my parents in Wiltshire for 2 weeks in the summer. My Dad offered to drive us into London and wait around while me, dd(7) and my Mum watched the show. Only problem is that the only tickets I could get (and boy am I pissed off 'cos dh had said we could get the expensive ones if we wanted) were ones in the Upper Circle in the second to back row on 7th Aug.

At least I'm going, but I'm not expecting to even be able to tell which one is Lee , and even then I'll only see the top of his be-wigged head .

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 20:34

They are for 20th August. I dont want to get your hopes up as we probably will go BUT if there was a reason why dh couldnt go, then I would happily give you first refusal.

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 20:51

Don't worry Binkle I'm not getting my hopes up

As it stands we come back up here on the 12th, and dd is back at school on the 21st August. If they were available though I'm sure I could jiggle things around and dd would have to miss a day or 2 of school, but it would be worth it

Truth be told I keep using her as the excuse for going at all, but she actually preferred Keith , and it's my lust for Lee that has been the reason

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 20:59

Yes, my dd preferred Keith too, (she's 5) but she just assumed we would be taking her to see the show anyway and said she supposed she didnt mind seeing Lee (like she's doing us a favour!)

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 21:01

Did Kanga not answer your probing questions yet?

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 21:05

Noooooooooo.

Do you think she might be the old bloke that stands at the stage door

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 21:07

no, I'm sticking with career stage door lurker until proved otherwise

lyrabelacqua · 21/06/2007 21:25

I'm back! What have i missed?
I've been doing a tea party for ds2's birthday, then all the clearing up etc.
Oggs, I did get your CAT. I'm going to have one final crack at converting the files but if not you'll get them as they are. it will still be a massive improvement on half an hour for a minute of clip.

binkleandflip · 21/06/2007 21:36

Jake Gyllenhaal, more discussion regarding Lee's feet, Kanga's mysterious connections...not a lot really

oggsfrog · 21/06/2007 21:51

Did all go well at the tea-party?

Ooh

Very succinct summing up Binkle

I really did get peed off trying to view one of Lee's video diary's that I'd not seen before.

It kept buffering , then saying it was ready, but I was only getting 2 secs worth and then it would stop for ages, then jump, and all the while it was a still of lovely Lee, no movement. After 3/4 hour and about a total of 7 seconds of voice I gave up.

It's so darn frustrating, and living where we do there is no possibility that we'll ever be able to get broadband
Our next door neighbour (about a mile away ) looked into satellite, but it would be about £2000

sheesh
