Many thanks to
ias for pointing out this hysterical post I've just snorted fruit smoothie into my sinuses!
I love my country sometimes! The take over of the
london_hurts com by various deeply sarcastic Londoners has kept me hugely entertained and is a definite antidote to some of the drowning-in-syrup stuff which has been posted. The group effort poem in particular, is a thing of beauty and wonder.
Funniest true story about the bombings. Mad Vicki texted me to confirm both her parents, who live in London, were fine. Apparently her mother, who works in an office next to Russell Square tube, was down in the basement at the time of the explosion and I quote "I heard some bangs, but thought it was the plumbing, so I didn't give it a second thought"
Yes, back from Rome. Had a fantabulous time. Work sucks. Will report more later. I do, however, have photographic proof that Byron was not killed by Duncan 'poet killer' MacLeod but is infact alive and well and owns a shop selling men's shirts in Rome. Said shop is at the base of the Spanish Steps and right next door to the house in which Keats died and Shelley and Byron stayed. I kid you not!
Rome is full of very beautiful people. The men in particular are some of the prettiest I have ever seen. Many adorable gay boys holding hands too. Obviously this was not in the Vatican dominated bits. They were just full of nuns. I had to fight an overwhelming desire to growl "Nuns, no sense of humour," at some of them. I didn't, I hasten to add, but I was tempted. I thought getting thrown out of St Peter's for nun baiting was probably pushing the 'I am Teh EVIL' routine, a little bit far.
CSI finale is one tonight! *Squeeeeeeeeeeee* At last I shall be able to read all the gorgeous post finale Nick/Gil fic. Yay!
sinden THANK YOU for the dvds. I shrieked with delight when I opened the package and frightened the cat badly. Do let me know if there is anything I can send you in return? I know I owe you Mag7 recs.

lastrega and I (as part of our continued plan to conquer the world with porn) have decided to re-start a slash fandom. We both feel that not enough luuuurve is being shown to that throbbing epic of 80's UK tv known as Robin of Sherwood. I have already done some pimping of this series to
bigtitch,
jhava,
crowie and
sidhe_woman as well as various others. I have all the dvds and am happy to send copies to those who would like to join us in our quest to re-awaken the ROS fandom.
