Chartwell Photo Taken by RA fan + Bonnet vs Bugs + Pic Poll + Richard Armitage: Various & Sundry

PIC  POLL choices..which do you prefer?

1.  The Real Thing

2.  Lucas

3.  Porter or as it sounds to me when RA says it - *Portah*

Following photo was taken by @suseng3.  Many RA fans are world travellers and my #ff today caught up with her in Kent, England where she had visited Chartwell(see below) - Winston Churchill's family home.  As you no doubt know, Sir Winston was the product of a 'special relationship'.  His father was Sir Randolph Churchill and his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American.

Bonnet vs Bugs article...referring to scheduling of Spooks 10 opposite Downton Abbey.  See comments below on the subject..

Keep voting daily: http://www.cultbox.co.uk/ (have to admire RA fans persistence, but we know who is the most talented and sexiest Brit actor..the experts on that topic don't need verification from outside sources) *winks & nod*

Guy pic above with what looks like bales of straw, is a reminder the Fall season is upon us.  the colors of this time of year are burnished golds and rusty oranges/reds - they reflect the changing leaves

Musa says she's experiencing heart palpitations after seeing Dr Track's pic above.  Might he rush in to take her pulse and administer mouth to mouth resuscitation if she faints?  I'd better get to the comment box asap just in case she collapses after seeing more of the good doctor...*silly sausages* :)

                                                                w~i~b~b~l~e :P

Isn't it amazing how..errr,,,professional he looks whether coming or going;)

Unpopcult writer whines that The Hobbit movies better be the best d@mn things ever for having pulled Lucas North, John Porter and Aidan Turner's TV characters from their screens *adding our whine to theirs*

http://unpopcult.wordpress.com/category/tv/strike-back/

Toothy Films:  Don't agree with their (probably tongue-in-cheek) assessment that most movies would be improved by the addition of sharks *snigger*  However, their graphics are hilarious...especially the one of Kevin Costner in the downright awful movie Waterworld - he has more hair on his chest than on his head.  IMHO, that actor's only worthwhile films were No Way Out (re-watched at least half doz times over the years - can't go wrong with a lusty young naval officer in his spiffy dress whites) and The Untouchables(good but one viewing sufficed..very violent)

Past Post from Nov 2010..interesting to read our predictions at that time for Lucas/John in Spooks 9

Always wise to take a peek at their latest sources of info about us:

The few they did get right:
-- When we say, "He was so great in the delivery room!" we are actually just happy that you didn't faint, gag, or run screaming out the door.
-- If we make it through an entire first date without seeing what color your iPhone case is, well, we just might fall in love.
-- We still like being asked on a proper date.
-- Snuggling can fix just about anything.
-- We love the fact that you are stronger than us and that you can reach everything on the top shelf.
-- A deep voice. And some stubble.
-- We look into your minds by reading your magazines. [teehee..how did they know:]

Thank You Susan, aka Sue (she whose birth roots grew in very similar soil as RA's) for this tip:

WARNING:  Do not listen to the following ad unless you're in the market for a new phone..don't blame us if you listen anyway, and consequently find the rivetting husky voice has made your eyes glaze over and fingers begin to search for a website where you can order the product---you've been warned;)

             

John Standring - My Funny Valentine by Musa aka Faboamanto ..adorable and so appropriate for RA’s shy Sparkhouse character…

Musa pointed out an interview with romance novellist Ashley March.  She was asked to choose between Henry Cavill and Richard Armitage.  The writer said "Richard Armitage - have you seen North and South?"  JT's overwhelming charm makes yet another conquest. 

Sum of His Parts Tues + World Cup Monday (inspired by Susan:)..Soccer Playoffs in New Zealand - Go Team RA Go!

                                          If a man is truly the sum of his parts....

Is he checking for an invasion of FAN GURLZ*he can run, but he can't hide..well, NZ is a challenge:)

In the mood to exercise your God-given right to vote? Well then, what do you think about the above TDH man..might he be the sexiest one on British TV?  Probably not a surprise to you that my reply is - Most Certainly!! If you feel the same way, you can vote daily for him  http://www.cultbox.co.uk/

Sue, aka Susan, informs me Ian (RA's character) is actually playing Rugby in these Ultimate Force pix

New feature called ‘I Read it on Twitter‘:

~~ RT: 'Callipygian' is a word coined by the Ancient Greeks ('kallipygos') that means 'having beautiful buttocks'.
~~ In Medieval England 'aleconners' were officially appointed in each ward to test the quality of locally brewed beer. [Can almost hear dh’s reaction to that one..”they had their priorities in order.” *bottoms up!* Oooh, look how nicely this one ties into the previous quote]
~~ The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. MARCUS AURELIUS (121-180)
~~ The US Navy has more aircraft carriers than all the other navies in the world combined.
Last but certainly not least for today:
~~ WARNING if you get a tweet from me with a link asking you to look at canned meat DON'T OPEN IT .. its SPAM!

I truly do believe American football teams should inaugurate the European soccer teams' tradition of ripping off their shirts at the end of each match.  Listen up National Football League!! *dream on woman*

Wicked Game: Guy & Marian (Richard Armitage fanvid) from angie long on Vimeo.

Do me a favor - just pretend the following isn't here...

o.k...watch the following until you read RA's credit and you'll automatically be absolved from ogling Stapleton & Winchester above *amen:)*   I've narrowed listening to the Project Dawn theme song from 5Xs daily down to about twice a day.  Estimate in another week I'll be satisfied to only hear it at the beginning of each new ep...
