Fangirls and Pigeons

[anteros_lmc]

I'm back home after a long but productive work meeting in London on Friday and a splendidly civilised dinner with esmerelda_t and nodbear in the evening. Afterwards esmerelda_t and I took a leisurely stroll through Trafalgar Square before retiring to her neck of the woods where we watched a whole 20 minutes of Poldark (baby Ioan looks terribly cute but Ned would have been appalled by his "Cornish" accent), followed by edited highlights of Lady Audley's Secret (that would be the parts where Jamie appears looking gorgeous underneath his floppy fringe), and we rounded off the night with a few random BSG episodes (you know why were were watching those, I really don't need to add anything in parenthesis...)


This morning I woke up on esmerelda_t's sofa, slightly hungover with a pigeon cooing loudly beside my head. It was just like the famous final pigeon scene in BSG! Though admittedly the pigeon was outside the window and alas, Lee was not hungover on the couch beside me ;)

I am still horribly hungover and I cant quite figure out why. I think the pigeon is spiking my booze.

Awww sweetie! I'm feeling quite perky now! I suggest you snuggle up on the couch with the pigeon and watch some more BSG ;)

Two or three thoughts. He is adorable, with his hair like that. Perhaps Archie's nephew... Also watched Jamie's interview. I think he went to great pains to point out he could have gotten the pigeon is he wished. I can just imagine him chasing a hornet with a broom though. They have hornets in England? Obviously they have bees (Winnie the P)
And also, did he really play a guy who was thrown down a well?

Utterly adorable! See below for further proof :)

There's a lovely still of him on the sofa with his broom but I'm buggered if I can find it now! I'm not sure where the hornet came from. There are certainly none up here but I've no idea if you get them down south.

Look at it this way, it makes a change from getting shot! If you wan't to see the edited highlights of Lady Audley's baffling secret, some dedicated fangirls has posted all of Jamie's scenes here/a>.

I have decided the only cure is more wine! Which I now have.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Excellent cure Dr Esmerelda! I have wine too and we are about to watch X-Men First Class :)

That adorable bebeh! Definitely going with "Archie's nephew" as an explanation, or really "young cousin once removed" if I'm staying with my story. Baby Matthew, perhaps, all grown up.

None more adorable!



Archie if he hadn't joined the service perhaps?

What year is that set in, exactly? It looks later than Hornblower, of course... I'm wondering if it's close enough to be Archie in his non-naval, post-Renown career. (Because I know what really happened!)

What year is that set in, exactly?
Exactly? On the basis of what we watched I have no idea even vaguely when it was set! We watched it purely for the pretty and fast-forwarded through anything that looked remotely plot like XD According to wikipedia it is set in 1857 though. I think he looks a bit young here to be post-Renown Archie, but I can live with that ;)

zegeekgirl did a very funny plot summary over at bamber_news a while back.

Ah, it was a rhetorical "exactly," rather like the rhetorical "again." I knew the clothes looked later, but not how much later! That couldn't possibly be Archie as he'd be around EIGHTY then. It might be a GRANDCHILD of one of his sibling-aged cousins.

I thought I'd read ALL the character-of-the-months! They do tend to the hilarious, although of course I favor her Archie one. "JUST KISS HIM ALREADY!"

I sympathize with the fast-forwarding. About halfway int "Very Annie Mary," we started fast-forwarding to only the Ioan bits, because the plot and most of the other characters were unbearable. We ha trouble understanding most of his dialogue - Welsh accent combined with high-speed Camp is not very sensible to an American ear - but there was, after all some pretty.

JUST KISS HIM ALREADY!"
Mr Hornblower is happy to oblige.

*cough* I admit they may have been random episodes that just happened to randomly feature Mr Bamber with his shirt off...

*sigh* One must simply endure the quirks of technology with great forbearance....
