Now that was a double post.

Ah there we go! Notice how the first post is slightly different to the second post, as I forgot what I wrote. Also notice how it completely ruins any sort of comedy timing/context that the first post may or may not have had by itself.

I watched the first episode again last night. I missed the 'can you draw' line last time - GW is almost too funny, I laugh so much at one line I miss the next one. Good reason to watch them over and over and over again....

Yes, it's good finding things that you didn't notice before. And laughing again at things you seen a load of times before.

oh millefleurs! you're so dam lucky! and you know all this olympic stuff on the news is making me think of 'ready for that immediate call-up to the swiss olympic association'. hahaha. just thought i'd mention that. anyway, yes, the lines are funny every time i hear them! i wish people would leave a name, for example.

'all this olympic stuff on the news is making me think of 'ready for that immediate call-up to the swiss olympic association'.

I thought the same thing! I can't even have a slice of toast and marmalade in the morning without thinking of GW.
In a take-out place the other day a friend of mine said 'Say what you like about fast food, but these are the best french-fries in the world' and I started giggling. I couldn't explain about Mac and the cafeteria scene, so I just said 'In England they call them chips' and left it at that.

i had to do a talk on the olympics - i was thinking of that the whole time. and i had to mention switzerland in the middle.

hehehe i tried to do the thing in the canteen ('cafeteria' ) when i was in the youth hostel at the lake district. well, when i say i tried i mean i was going to then didn't.

so then, you say french fries, and call crisps potato chips or something?

Hang on can we backtrack a bit here? Since when has the new series been next year? I thought it was meant to tie in with the DVD release in October? this is what happens when you get a job and need at least 8 hours sleep, you miss out on all the important stuff!

How is everyone?
Whats happening?
Why is this so slow?

Yeah, pototo chips, I'm munching some right now. You call a cafeteria a canteen? I associate that word with the army for some reason. BTW, what does gobsmacked mean? Surprise or anger or something else?
Tonight was episode 8 on tv, slave auction. You see I can watch GW in it's entirety, then watch one unedited episode at a time at my computer, and still watch the edited version on tv. I need to see the tv version because the color is better, the hair must be seen at the perfect shade of red-gold, and I can sit very very close to the screen.

And Miranda comes on later tonight, maybe they'll finally show the wide-screen version.

Yes Millefleurs. Gobsmacked means really shocked or suprised. I guess you know what 'snog' means by now, lol.

heh heh must have celestialness.

well i call a cafeteria a canteen. we dont use the word 'cafeteria'.
wow you dont have gobsmacked? i suppose it sounds better in a british accent. do you think of the english as wearing bowler hats and having an umbrella?

I always thought gobsmaked was an american word! Wow, I guess you learn something new everyday!

Oh yes, those water things they have in the army are called canteens too aren't they? That might be why you associate them with the army. Then again, it might not be. I always used to hear that word on films and things and couldn't work it out, I thought that they carried large eating areas around with them in their rucksacks.

I'd never heard that word before until someone said it on Cash in the Attic, so I guess it's not american.
No I don't think of the english in bowler hats, except for Mr. Steed. I think of the english as tall, elegant, brilliant, artistic, with thrilling low voices, abundant talent, sea-blue eyes and gorgeous red-gold hair, like, ah, Vanessa Redgrave.

Ah good, I have abundant hair and sometimes it goes reddish. Although sometimes it goes light brown and dark brown. Actually, I know people must read these forums so if any of the people who make Sunsilk are watching, please change it back to the old recipe because it was the only shampoo that worked on my hair!

Worked on your hair how exactly?
My hair goes really fluffy and I hate it, know any way of stopping it?

serum - especially silk serums. works a treat and most give heat protection too

It just makes my hair nicer than any other shampoo. It makes it a nice colour and it doesn't feel yuk.
You can get this stuff like a leave in conditioner too, that can be quite good for stopping frizzy fluffyness.

NNOOOOOOO!! Don't destroy my dream, I picture England as a place peopled with tall lean elegant men, and disdainful, pink and white women sipping tea on an emerald lawn watching a waterloo sunset, whatever that is.
Seriously, whatever you look like, you must all look a hell of a lot better than americans, if actors are anything to judge by. There are more handsome, gorgeous, bautiful, sexy men in your television series alone than there are in all of Hollywood, the theatre scene and US television put together. And the voices and speech of most must be quite special, on average, even your newscasters put our 'professional' actors to shame.
And then there is JRT.
If a man like that can be a public figure for nearly eight years and only now be regarded as something special, you must have an abundance of truly superb men.

thanks, whats silk serum and where do I get it?

Ickle Gem, how did the exams go? weren't you doing maths 'a' level in one year?
