Well I finally have my new PC at work, which is fab and all that as it still lets me onto these sites and still lets me post. However it plays havoc qith the pictures, not only can I no loger see my Avtar and banner but it has pretty much edited out everyone elses too...grr

[spence]

But at least you can have a sneeky lookie!

[goshandcrikey]

well I got caught on here for the first time today at work told them I was trying to research Stardust don't think they fell for it, but in all honesty the other girl was googling actors too!!!

Plus they know I went to landscapes twice apparently I'm now officially a bimbo! Then again they are pleased to know you all exist and have finally figured out who i'm on about even if all most of them could come up with was a certain credit card ad

I was in Tesco's this morning wandering through the clothes bit when I saw black zip-up cardigans for sale very like the one someone we all know wears. The man next to me picked one up, turned to his wife and said "If I bought this would I look like him"! She replied "No, not even with a ginger wig"!
I, of course, laughed to which he said to me "I'm sorry but my wife has a stupid crush." My reply was along the lines of "me too" and there then followed a quite inappropriate conversation for two women who are old enough to know better especially in a public place!
We ended up going for coffee, finding out we live quite close to each other and that our sons are in the same year group at school.
She now knows all about this wonderful website and forum, so hopefully will join, and her husband can't get over the fact that someone other than her likes Julian!
You see Julian really brings people together!

Hehe that's a lovely story Lil!

[ch1ch1]

What are the odds?!!!

[faeriequeen]

Haha that's a brilliant story!

[Baggiebird]

Well that is quite frankly brilliant. I bet her husband is secretly pleased that his wife now has someone to chat to about her crush rather than him ! Lets face it his ego must be taking a bit of a battering

[Lil]

I know, I felt quite sorry for him this morning. It has kept me amused all day, which is not good as I'm supposed to be working from home (you can see I'm doing a lot!) preparing a paper I have to present at a big meeting tomorrow in Birmingham.
I used to do far more before I found this forum!

[goshandcrikey]

Thats great it's good to know how many of us there are out there. So here's a question is it wrong to buy a male friend one of those black tops so they look slightly more like him as a birthday pressy.

then you might consider going out with them

[Baggiebird]

For those of you that are interested Tamsin is going to be in a radio play (morse) on radio BBC7 on Saturday at midday.

[Kayleigh]

sounds good to me I may have to listen to that

[curlybeach]

OMG, best story in the world Lil!
Julian fans must gravitate towards each other - IT'S LIKE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE!
(However, there's none where I live :[)

[jrt patch]

Fab story, Lil.
It got me thinking - you know how the AA have a support group for family and friends of alcoholics, perhaps there should be a support group thread for family and friends of JRT fans.

Bemused men whose partners have suddenly tried to get them to wear black zip up cardigans. Children who have been made to wear ginger wigs. That sort of thing. Any mileage there?

[Baggiebird]

I think there is plenty of mileage in that idea patchy

[Lil]

My son came home from school yesterday having spoken to the son of the woman I met. I think the conversation was along the lines of "how embarrassing are our mothers?"

However they are happy that we now have each other to talk to. Perhaps the support group starts with them!

[Baggiebird]

Well thank heaven for this site then...... and obviously we don't think you embarrassing at all

[jrt patch]

No, not at all.
Still, if a restraining order had to be issued, at least they know where we all are....

[Baggiebird]

Do they do mass restraining orders ?.
