...or have a pen top stuck up your nose.

...or have a white labcoat which sweeps when you go round corners (with a sense of contained urgency and stylish élan).

aaah, thems were the days *sniffles of nostalgic longing and bloody awful cold*

It's good to see the forum getting back to normal. Now, someone make a 'toast' reference. Toast and butter.

I hope there will be more of Sue and less of Angela in GW2. It may be that I just don't like Sara Alexander, but I always thought Angela was less interesting than the other female characters. Maybe I just didn't identify with her in any way?

I was thinking the other day while watching a 'Cheers' repeat, that Mac should have a brother, even more charming and handsome, like Sam Malone's, who comes to work at the hospital - Mac would be jealous of him, and it would drive the women crazy. Julian would have to play both parts, of course.

I have another reason to hate my landlord - we were supposed to start 'The Mighty Boosh' this week on BBCamerica - by the time I move and get re-connected to cable it will be over, or so far advanced that I won't know what's going on. Not that Boosh would be much of a substitute for Green Wing, but I might have liked it. I think I have most of 'Teachers' recorded, I can watch that, I suppose, though I'll spend much of the time imagining JRT in the lead role.

You mean the one where I asked Julian if he'd ever heard of someone called Millefleurs?

now that is unfair - you can't leave something like that just hanging in mid-forum air...what was the answer?

He was very diplomatic. I think his words were: "Millefleurs and I are just good friends. We occasionally share a red silk backdrop."

Wow! Did this really happen or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
Ooh I saw a white coat Poppy! Although I've sort of been sacked for incompetence now so I won't be seeing it tomorrow. Shame.
And I've made the sleeve of my shirt dirty, I'm very annoyed.
I like the idea Millefleurs, it sounds like an good excuse to give JRT more time on screen hehe.
It's so good to see a GW thread going again! Woo!

is she actually not in series 2? please someone (FC, probably) confirm or disconfirm(?) it a-sap. more sue would be great. more arms i say.
hmmm twin macs. yummy. another fight perhaps between them, while they wear bikinis (well not bikinis, but you know, i like to visualise the situation). possibly involving boyce.

hahaha buscuits! i think the teachers have hidden all the white coats away now. too many people drew on them.
shame about your work though however, there are lots of opportunities for, erm, things (hopefully they are top of your agenda ).

I cannot disconfirm it, she is in series 2. But not as much as Sue.

How dare people deface the white coats.
Oh things, I love things, yes lets hope there's a job in that somewhere. Do drop me a line people.

What? I can't comprehend this, I'm sorry. What's not to like? Jim, if you're there, help me out.

I'm as shocked as you, Jack

I can only put it down to excessive mooning over the fraise blond one.

Anyway I must get back to my screen captures from "Nude Practice" mmmmmm!

"Mmmmmm!" indeed, Jim. Nude Practice. A classic piece of TV history.

There'll be no excessive mooning on my watch.

Is mooning some sort of bizarre mating ritual round your way Jim? Or is it not bizarre at all and it's me that's out of touch? I'll try it on the bus home tonight and see what happens. (I'll get moaned at for leaving the car at work, that's what'll happen.)

I suppose you could try mooning out the back of the bus, Jack - though thats likely to lead to arrest in these over sensitive times.

Mind you I didn't mean the showing your arse type mooning - it was the going all dewy-eyed and soppy type mooning which I was warning against...

Some of us are *well* over the fraise blond one (I might be over-confident there. Ask me again when Series 2 starts). But we're still allowed to get dewy-eyed and soppy about the whole programme, can't we?

Or aren't we, even?

You can/are. My issue was with Millefleurs not liking Sarah Alexander, although maybe the girls see her differently from the guys. She certainly makes me moon (as in the dewy eyed definition).

Oh, I'm so pleased that you and Jim are just as hormonally suggestible as us girls. Makes us feel a bit less silly.

I suspect that with Jim and me it's a bit less dewy eyed and a bit more...actually we'll leave it there I think.

(Grammatical question: Should that - up there look - have been Jim and me or Jim and I? I thought you could take out the "Jim and" and there's your answer. Hence me putting Jim and me. Answers on a postcard please.)

'Jim and me' is correct, for the reasons you've already given.

Basically the preposition "with" requires the accusative, which is "me" (as opposed to "I", which is nominative). Or am I going too far?

Someone's going to tell me it's the ablative, now.

PS - does this mean the band's back together?

maybe it's a temporary reunion - it's a long time 'til march

Yes, I do see female actors differently from the way most guys do. Her looks don't matter, I'm sure she's very pretty, but I've never really liked her acting in any of the things I've seen her in - Coupling, Worst Week, etc. Nude Pratice? I don't know what that is. And no, I'm not jealous of SA, many of the actresses I do admire are attractive, but they're really talented also, there's the difference.

Now, back to what matters. I wonder if Mac/Jrt will start the season in a full-fledged 'relationship,' or if there will be more obstacles? I liked the wondering-if-they'll-get-together between Mac and his love, but I also want to see him in bed with her, or with anyone, I don't care. And lots more kisses, in or out of the toilet. I wonder if Sue will have a man of her own - I sort of hope not, I like identifying with her hopeless love for Mac. Though I don't suppose it would matter, I know from experience a woman can have any number of nice boyfriends and still harbor a secret carnal passion for a lusciously-thighed Apollo in scrubs. And, I do hope that Guy has not been 'softened,' that sometimes happens in 2nd seasons with the fun characters who are not totally PC.
I've noticed that a lot of British tv is becoming alarmingly american-like, this could not possible happen to GW, could it?

Yes that’s a good point! A less offensive Mac would leave a gaping hole in the character plot...

I just hope Steven manages to get his hair to a similar length to Series 1. It was looking alarmingly long in the Comic Relief Special.
If Series 2 is a direct follow-on then the hair may look out of place...

head hair? yes, i must say i do prefer it short. if he doesnt cut it soon we will have to bring his score down from a 6 to a 2.5 out of 10.
