I might share if you ask nicely and makes good on your naked commuting scenario. Just be sure to don a bowler hat to avoid any indecency..

I'm expecting him by special delivery. The awkward thing about that is you get trapped in the house while waiting for them to arrive and can't nip out for a pint of milk in case you miss them.

Well, I would. Honest. But I travel on Southern, and we have all suffered enough over the last year. I really couldn't add to that, it would be just too mean

I am seriously considering hiring one of those vans with the megaphones on top, and driving through the Will threads yelling 'It's private!! It's none of our business!!'

Good Lord, no! I mean proper rock stars, not that slimy little oik.

Throws pashmina over Anthony Kiedis

[quote=Lesley H;84198492]
Too right. The ghastly concept of self together pulling is always delivered by those long on misplaced self righteous delusions of their own "strength", and painfully short on compassion, empathy and imagination. They should take those proverbial curtains and shove them somewhere the proverbial sun cannot fade them. All this to say, really, that the first 4 weeks of this light entertainment show have been blighted by the kind of mean spirited, vituperative speculation, rumour mongering and finger pointing that makes me despair in humanity. Blows kisses and administers hugs to anyone foolish enough to be within reach, and brave enough to share their challenges.
Deeply unappreciative.
Gabriel! I seem to have become aerated, fetch me a gallon of your best 100% proof blackberry wine.... I also need to find a new (faux) fur lined pashmina to keep out the autumnal chills.

I'll be right behind you with a klaxon, let off right down the lug holes of anyone who raises an objection.

I have to say, that if some people told me the sky was blue, l'd be having a trip to B&Q to check with the colour charts and match pots. Even with Dulux corroboration I'd still be sceptical.

I hadn't thought of in-thread entertainment (the slaves aside). If we're talking RHCP, I'll borrow former member Dave Navarro. Beautiful eyes.

And as a bonus, you and aggs will never be short of socks.

I've just remembered I also voted for Ed Balls...oh dear lord, please don't let the deliveries get mixed up!

And Dave Grohl...


(It's a double pashmina)

Yes, but I didn't know you were hiding in THIS thread - I'd been avoiding it as I misunderstood the premise of the thread entirely and have clearly been missing out!

I take it it's safe to keep my Sir Gwaine cosily tucked up in here?


Yes, I'm finding it very comfortable in here - more comfortable than at home as we're currently living on a building site and have a barely boarded hole in the back wall

I also approve of your choices . . . particularly in Pillars of the Earth/Robin of Sherwood roles


As a South West trains commuter, you really have been suffering, haven't you?

Yes, Sir Gwaine should fit in well, fine Dublin chap that he is. Remind him to stay in the Actors section though, don't get mixed up with those rock stars.

The trains have been appalling. We were doing OK until Southern got taken over by this Govia thing, then it all went to pot. I could get part of the way home by SouthEastern, but they're worse than Southern! And for the last 40mins of the journey, the only service on that stretch is Southern anyway. It's better to get the one train all the way, otherwise I risk getting stranded somewhere like Croydon. Trains are running on my line but maybe only one in three.

I will see your Dave Grohl (lovely hair) and raise you Brooke St James and Michael Clayton from Tyketto. They're polite boys for rock stars, they'll help with the housework and stuff, and they make the place look pretty.

Goddammit, if i'd known that it worked like that, I would've thrown a few votes Gorka's way last weekend. On the flip side, I'm now a little concerned about the free vote I threw Ed Balls' way after the Charleston

ETA- with the earlier talk of Musketeers I should point out that Athos is safely detained in my cage

What happens if those we voted for get delivered by Yodel?
Should I check in case Jay has been stuck behind my wheelie bin for the last ten months?

Penny drops as to why Anton looked like a tramp on Saturday.
He'd spent 9 months' languishing under my mum's shed.
Soz Anton.
At least he had his chest hair to keep him warm.

There's medication to help her with that ... or a large bottle of gin


For a man who looked just like a tramp
With demeanour decidedly camp
The Year of the Beekey
Was a thought so darned freaky
That the DOTs knew he'd never be champ

I am un appreciating the gross stigma against mental illness right now. Others have posted some excellent rebuttals, thank you so much to all those who have shown compassion and and a willingness to understand. I'm lucky to have supportive friends and family but god it's horrid knowing their are such horrid, callous, self centred, ignorant fools out there.

I unappreciate the words "well all I can say is..."

Partly because it almost inevitably precedes some vitriolic, insensitive garbage but mainly because it never effing is all they can say and is the forerunner to a thread or seven's worth of drivel running for bloody pages. And pages. And pages...

I can't find the quote but as Monkseal put it so well

It seems all the consultant oncologists have become consultant psychiatrist in one week.

They have obviously been trained by Jeremy Hunt that decided c**t. Don't you think he would fit right in there with all his self importance and complete ignorance, trampling about destroying lives and futures with a careless abandon. It seems impossible that he isn't over there and Katie What's her name who opens her mouth and spiteful drivel pours out of it at a rate of knots with not 1 iota of empathy, compassion care for fellow human beings. She is without a doubt over there.

Ok back to buisness I have just had a chat with Cillian Murphy, ( mine, all mine). It appears he is great at plumbing , we may be gone sometime.

I can think of a project or 20 to keep us busy for quite a while.

Pass the pile of clean pashminas please, I fancy midnight blue with pulled gold edging and deep Aqua trimming. No fur necessary Cillian will be providing all the heat we need with his plumbers blow torch.

Unappreciating that Mrs Clifton didn't stand up to Len during the fracas (can I say fracas? Showing my age - Eric Morecambe joke anyone?). She should have said to him "well if the bliddy production team lumber us with that song and theme for a salsa what can you expect". But I'm guessing the Cliftons wouldn't dare rock the boat on their flagship show. Bet TTF's hair was turning white with worry in case she said anything. But then he thought, "hmm, spray in some hair thickener for men, bouffant it up to the hilt - my next characterisation will be 18th century dandy in powdered wig look"

Absobloodylutely.

Re the wig, never going to happen history began at the 40s for out Kev. Fully formed nostalgic and misty round the edges.

tbf- Will spoke up quite early on in Len's critique, so she didn't get much chance to get in before him, and if she'd supported him after he'd said it, it would have been TWO people answering back which would have sorely tested the parameters of just how much back chat can be forgiven in the shires.

That said- she doesn't strike me as especially Alionary in her desire to rock the boat. And as Monkseal's blog highlighted- she did have the air of someone willing herself to disappear in a puff of smoke at the time. But maybe she was inwardly fewming and making a mental note to HAHAHA about Len on ITT and make her point there, because from Will's comment, they'd clearly discussed how much salsa content there was, even if he did get his beat-count muddled.

You're welcome to him! I've just found Aaron Tveit! (Enjolras in Les Mis film)
