If only it would stop raining for a day or two to allow it all to drain away for a bit, the land is so waterlogged it doesn't get a chance.

Moose is busy in Big Brother forum.
I had a look at the cast and thought i'd rather not

we have very friendly sheep and highland coos here!! The best being Dougal the Bull There was a programme that started at the weekend (i missed it ) called Beowulf which was filmed just up the road so it looks like that really

There's a mixture of accents and languages spoken ancient norse and anglo saxon and engish with scandy accents of english accents as appropriate. I know what you mean about Russell Crowe in Robin Hood what planet was that accent from still wasn't as terrible as poor old Kevin Costner's *hugely strong american accent* "this is english courage" hahahhahahahahahahah

eta i see Twass has apprised you of the accent situation apologies for repetition!

I'm fast

And what about Maid Marion saying CHEERS instead of thank you?? That was not a good film

i've heard that

"cheers mate" was how all noble ladies expressed gratitude in the 1100s

worth watching for the Kevin and Morgan Freeman speed walking from dover to Hadrian's wall (slightly further north than Nottingham ) in a morning

they whizzed round the Great North RUn they finished it before they started

*chortle* Made for the American market

they went on a right old trip they walked up to Hadrian's Wall then came down to Wensleydale to frolic in Aysgarth Falls - it was hysterical

*runs in* on my way to a (neighbour's) funeral and by the time I get back tonight it will be bb time so PLEASE don't wait for me, I saw ep 2 in the wee hours and will catch up with 3 much later.

Hope you're all keeping dry, it's quite good living halfway up a mountain sometimes

We've not seen episode 3 tk so we will wait for you. Perhaps tomorrow? I hope the wake is as the deceased would expect...

Are we all watching Vikings, is it?

I'm listening to Björk - has anyone seen 'Dancer in the Dark'? If not, have a go. It's such a Marmite movie. Some love it, some hate it. I'm a lover - honestly, one of the best, most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen.

In the meantime, I will try and catch up on Vikings. Or invent my own storylines... "I can't believe that guy is actually his father!!! :O :O"

I've not seen it nood but I am a fan of Bjork. She's a total one off I like folk who are not afraid to be different.

Oh, I could rant on forever about dear Björk. Latest album - best yet. Only because she sings of heartbreak following her divorce, in such an unlike Björk fashion that it's just pure beautiful. Just utterly beautiful. Got me through a messy breakup!

How is Vikings?

Randomly fell asleep

HERE is one of my favourite Bjork videos and songs it's brilliant. I adore her!

You are so kind! Wake was lovely and did her proud. Now tomorrow, tkjr's new shower arrived here today, and we have to go and fit it. So again don't wait for me

She's an Icelandic interprète incroyable! No doubt about it...

You fell asleep?! Ooooh, someone's either been breathing in too much of the old dale air, or getting their medication wrong.

Being the sweet, charming diplomatic being I am, I wouldn't dare to comment as to which I think it is...

Caught up a bit on bb, did anyone else see Moose in her giraffe disguise??

Glad to hear it went ok tk....tk jr just needs to stnd outside surely instead of having an indoor shower?! hasn't stopped raining for weeks and weeks and weeks......

Bjork is that rare thing a true creative, mad as a box of frogs but she's amazing i even loved the swan at the oscars it would be impossible to choose just one song from her repertoire. i haven't heard the latest album though is it good?

i hadn't slept for two or three (can't remember ) days so i just couldn't wait till the night time sleep comes when it will

of course now i'm wide awake *taps fingers impatiently on laptop*

So weird a friend of mine rang me out of the blue tonight, they were feeling all nostalgic as this time last year they were living in Perth!!! There must be something n the air that's making all the ex-Perthians come out in the open!

Perthians are a virus. You never get rid of them!! Perth does have this weird thing about it though, when I lived there, there was this saying that you "have to leave it to love it"- and I think it's very true. I spent eight years loving Perth, but for the last few years feeling incredibly isolated and frustrated, and it's only now that I get what they meant by that saying. Very true.

Definitely recommend Björk's latest album. Not very upbeat, but just pure heartbreak beauty. Stock up on the valium when you give it a listen!

Oh, not slept? Are you an insomniac? I know I am!

i guess it depend of circumstance and the friends you have around you would make a massive difference. I was really lucky in that regard i guess.

Hoorah nice to know someone will be up!!! everyone goes to bed reeeeeeeeaaaaally early and then wakes up at my bedtime
ooooo sounds appropriate to the moment, what's it called? i have a tonne of morphine will that do instead of valium?

i have issues with sleep it's all over the place. i do love how quiet the night is though....i live in the middle of nowhere but there's a different sort of quiet at night.

In a pressed flowers kind of way?

Hi Peeps. I have been AWOL. DS did that thing where they make you log in again and for the last few days I couldn't be arsed to spend hours trying the multitude of passwoprds I may or may not have used when I registered.

How are we all. Looks like I have some reading to do. I have picked up from my last visit but there are pages!

Why aye bonnie lass!

yes indeed he was pressed between the pages like one of Lady Cottington's pressed faeries

chop chop catch up!!! luckily there's pages of viking stuff you can just scroll past

And we get all the wet before you do! He has a doting dad

awh that's lovely
so any gossip from BB? I was horrified at the list of "celebs" and had a random falling asleep so missed it all does it look promising or is it all geordie shore and usa porn stars?

They seem to have gone for certifiable freak overload. It could be one of the merits of the series.

Actually I only know who two of them are. Kristina from SCD and Daniella W from Eastenders back in the day when I watched it. Ihad heard of David Guest but couldn't have picked him out of a line up. Probabaly still couldn't to be fair. He has the sort of face that I imagine is temperature dependant.

I think you should be writing the tv review for BB!!! You make it sound much better than it no doubt is
As regards picking out David Guest look for the one who looks like a melted waxwork (unless there's more than one like that? )
I remember watching Mr Guest on I'ma Celebrity years ago and i give him credit he was value for money and quite funny as i remember (had a lot of anaesthetics since then so i could be thinking of Jude Law in a Sherlock film for all i know )
