Mum! Stop doing sailors!

[anteros_lmc]

Conversation with daughter this morning while I was watching sarlania's brilliant following_sea vid rec.

Daughter: "Mum! Stop doing sailors! You should do rugby like dad does."
Me: "I watch rugby too."
Daughter: "But rugby isn't your favourite programme, sailors are. Stop watching sailors!"

"stop doing sailors!"
Kids say the darest things :D

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

The do indeed. Needless to say I shall be ignoring daughter's advice ;)

Hee, I was accused last night at dinner of 'writing about wangs.'(Who, me?)

Not that my family is reading my writing--but somehow the word leaked out.

[vsee.livejournal.com]

Oh, e_b, never stop. That's all imma gonna say. :D

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

That encouragement means so much. I get worried about my writing sometimes.

[nodbear.livejournal.com]

You may worry of course - but we don't !
vsee is right- don't stop - at least not for a very long time!

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

No worries. I wobble, but the stories know better. they just keep coming.

Do you remember the old fashioned percolater coffee pots? They made a comfy burbling noise. Always sounded like morning to me. I imagine story ideas bubbling like that "blurb....blurb...blurb.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

the stories know better. they just keep coming.
It's kind of odd isn't it? I sometimes look back on the stuff I've written and wonder where the hell it came from!

"blurb....blurb...blurb.
I suspect that if my story ideas made a noise it would be the delightful glug of wine leaving bottle and entering glass ;)

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

The wine glugging into the glass is much more sophisticated. And also a very happy sound. Glug, Blurb...

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Wangs? What kind of a word is that?!

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Apparently that is what the kids are calling it these days. At least she didn't say 'tallywacker'!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

tallywacker? WTF?!

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Tallywacker is more southern really, and just a little old fashioned. Therefore it would reside under the unmentionables...

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

They're very knowing, aren't they, little girls?

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Far too knowing if you ask me! Although if daughter had been paying attention to Scotland's woeful performance at the weekend she would not be advising me to watch more rugby!

Kehehe! From the mouth of a child…

I'd have thought she preferred sailors over rugby, though.

Well to be fair both sailors and rugby players have their charms!

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

Perhaps sailors that play rugby would keep everyone happy?

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Sailors with wangs! (after all some sailors are girls...)

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Tsk! Is that you lowering the tone of my journal again eglantine_br?? I don't know, I turn my back for a minute and look what happens... ;P

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

I'm blushing with shame....hee.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

And I should jolly well think so too!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Even better, how about a rugby playing sailor who played for St John's Redboys and captained London Irish U17s? Yes please!

[nodbear.livejournal.com]

Utterly failed to find picture I know used to be on net with Ioan in rugby kit - and the quest to find one of Jamie similarly frustrated
remarkable how your little cub can quantify mum's interest in sailors and dad's in rugby so sharply ...kids know before they know they know I suspect :) .

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

These cubs are far too knowing by half!

Ioan in rugby kit
I'm beginning to suspect that this picture is a figment of your over fertile imagination!

the quest to find one of Jamie similarly frustrated
Yeah, I've had nae luck with that one either...

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

That's because he was at uni before the invention of photography, perhaps there's an oil painting somewhere?

Or he's got an injunction out to stop the world seeing his knobbly knees, one of the other.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

He didn't seem too bothered about showing off his "nobbly knees" in the wet shirt picture!

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

I was refering to Jammers knobbly knees :P Have we ever seen his bare legs? I think not, therefore I rest my case!

*Provides exibit A with icon*

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

You know, you are right. So much for my knee porn!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Oh I'd forgotten about your knee fetish. Don't say I'm not good to you now.....



Btw the orange shoulder belongs to Gunner Hobbs!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Nonsense! JB's knees made regular guest starring appearances in BSG. Surely his knees appear in Unfinished Business?? And I also seem to remember a scene with him and Kara jogging through the ship in decidedly unflattering shorts.

Having said that, you can exhibit that icon when ever you feel like it sweetie!

ETA See above!

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

phft, they're not shorts, they're three quarter jim jams! Proper shorts are another matter entirely! I've seen victorian debutantes flash more leg! :P

*Exhibit B*

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Oh so you want a whole leg do you? Not just a couple of knees?! You're a hard woman to please esmerelda_t. I can see I ma going to have to trawl through BSG again to locate an appropriate leg shot for you!

[nodbear.livejournal.com]

Perhpas it was a figment of my imagination except that other fangirls have mentioned it on various sites - all in the past tense though !

I think without an extensive tour thorugh the St Johns arhives and or London irish ditto we have no likelihood there .

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

other fangirls have mentioned
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of mass hysteria induced by the very thought of the NBFC in a rugby strip!

*weeps* Hang on, I know someone who's a dab hand at infiltrating archives.... ;)

[nodbear.livejournal.com]

I wish - will think about it - have long since ponderd how such a chace could be succssful = wonder where I get that influence from ?

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Just ask yourself....What would the Admiral do? ;)

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

That is a fine knee, not nobbly at all.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

It's a lovely knee isn't it? And I'm sure there are more! Not more knees obviously, I'm pretty sure he only has two, but I'm sure there must be more pictures of them :)
