Calendar Girls

Emperor Morphetine · Calendar Girls

Ended up watching this on Christmas Eve against my usual judgement and quite enjoyed it- the story of the downtrodden members of a Women's Institute branch in Yorkshire who create a nude calendar to raise funds for a hospital's cancer wing after the death of one of the group's husbands. It has a really good cast, almost a who's who of British film and TV- Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, Helen Mirren etc, and its a really good, resolutely British story as they battle to get approval for the calendar and subsequently achieve a degree of fame.

And apparently its all based on a true story...

Lucifer_666

That Celia Imrie has some big rack on her

pity those cream pies were in the way

i always hink that when i see this movie

Emperor Morphetine

Nothing wrong with admitting a fondness for the Mrs Robinson type Luc...

Lucifer_666

I hope the god you mean the Graduate Mrs Robinson and not the weakest link one mate...

..

Emperor Morphetine

Your choice bud!

Lucifer_666

Can you imagine wakening up ....turning around on your pillow to see her winking at you

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Emperor Morphetine

Which one- Anne Robinson? I'd be too terrified to do anything, she has a really icy stare! However, if some event caused me to wake up in 'The Graduate' as Dustin Hoffman's character I may have less reservations about the other Mrs Robinson, Anne Bancroft looks OK in that film......

Lucifer_666

Yes Morphy you can be guaranteed i mean't the nightmare of Anne Robinson winking at me in the morning

I don't mind Anne Bancroft myself

Emperor Morphetine

Lucky old Mel Brooks eh?

Lucifer_666

Yeah how does he get them??

must be his sense of humour..or money

Emperor Morphetine

I'd hope it was a bit of both...and of course his Spaceballs might've helped.....

Lucifer_666

and his Dark Helmet

Emperor Morphetine

Lucifer_666

i wonder does anyone else get our conversation here

Emperor Morphetine

I'm sure they do, who would fail to appreciate bawdy humour? It does get a bit 'Carry On Flicking' at times but I'm all for it!

Lucifer_666

Me too

(har har..thats my really bad Sid James laugh

)

Emperor Morphetine

Its all good.

Lucifer_666

Thanks

Emperor Morphetine

Can't beat a bit of lewd humour now and again!

Lucifer_666

just wouldn't be the same without bud

Emperor Morphetine

Nope, every forum needs its Sid James and Jim Dale types eh?

Lucifer_666

is Cat Barbara Windsor

Emperor Morphetine

If she's up for it, yeh......

Lucifer_666

i do think its the best of a bad lot for her unless she wants to be Hattie Jakes

ohhhh Matron...

Emperor Morphetine

Can't see her liking the Matron typecasting bud!

K

Oh you two! What part shall I play? Joan Simms? Or that woman from Carry on Cleo?

Lucifer_666

oh she'll be alright mate...i hope

Who Alma from Corrie K??

cleo in that film will always be Alma to me

you could be Patsy Rowlands either she was like the red haired mumsy or nervous wife

or June Whitfield

Emperor Morphetine

Let's have K and Cat fight it out for the Cleo-type role eh Luc?

Lucifer_666

fight....fight..... fight come on girls lets see that mud fly....first to get the other's bikini off is the winner

Emperor Morphetine

Oo err.....

Lucifer_666

i think their hiding now bud

Emperor Morphetine

Lucifer_666

i definitely know they are hiding now

K

Funny, whenever I think of myself mud wrestling, I always imagine it is with a man, not another woman

Wonder why that could be...

Lucifer_666

Because the last time we had a tumble and rumble K it was soooo memorable you can only ever think of it now with a man ...erm...could that be reason I wonder??

How are you?? .. long time no hear??

K

Yes, that is right Luc. When I remember you pressing me to your manly chest that time, all I can think of was your chest wig falling off into the mud

I am much happier than of late. I have got into writing articles for magazines via an online course I 'studied'. I'll give you the website if you like. Anyway, within one week of reading this course, I had one magazine say they would print my article and now another has. Unfortunately they are unpaid but I can build up a portfolio to impress other magazines with and then they can pay me- hopefully. So that's been fun.

I've decided to stay at my job in the construction department and not leave as I haven't had any luck finding one, basically. The boys are much nicer than last year and it is much more of a laugh this year. I am doing a work related course which although will be tedious, at least it is something different.

The main problem has been endless flu lately. I think due to Rosebud bringing illnesses home from nursery and myself sitting with all these boys with their self inflicted respiratory illnesses [if you know what I mean!], we get more than our fair share of diseases

Anyway, that is my summary of my life lately. How is yourself, begorrah, top of the mornin' to you?

Lucifer_666

I'm grand, honky dorey..as well as a little irish devil like me can be I suppose

Hey that chest wig served me very well K

Many a woman like yourself have thirled their fingers in my chest hair.. rubbing and stroking getting quite excited while pressing themselves up against me and my hairy manliness

... though like I said you know all this already K..you practically lived in my chest hair at one stage

That course sounds great and congrats on getting stuff published..well done.

.I would appreciate the website aswell...sounds the business

I'm glad that things at work are smoothing over nicely for you now too ..nothing worse than when work is difficult and you hate going there...

Poor Rosebud with all that flu aswell..God she must be fairly coming on now..how is she?

K

Hi Luc

You and your chest wig!

Using my incredible powers of research, I've managed to find that website for you:

http://www.suite101.com/course.cfm/16728/seminar

It really helped me.

So I got the first magazine with my article in the other day, sent by the editor. It is an article about food intolerances/ allergies. I feel very smug. Even my mum was impressed!

Rosebud is now 3 years old

She talks, walks, bosses everyone around, has a boyfriend who adores her [when he's not pushing her or pulling her hair]. I can't believe I'm giving her relationship advice at 3!

I've come back to work after half term, and I'd forgotten how we have to tame all the students again after they've been drinking, shagging and drug taking all half term. So boring, all this 're-establishing boundaries' stuff zzz

Lucifer_666

Thanks for the site and info K and congrats.

.the article must have been pretty thorough...well done I'm quite impressed myself

Rosebud most definitely takes after her mother doesn't she?

Glad to hear she's doing well K

Students eh? And here was me thinking stuff like that just happened on that teen show 'Skins'

Emperor Morphetine

I must just add at this point that not all students are hellraisers ( though I freely admit to enjoying a good time and a few drinks!).

K

I quite agree Morphi, you are a gentleman and far too sensible to put yourself pointlessly at risk. Its just that the boys I work with have criminal records and partake of extremely dubious substances, and these activities distract them a lot. Having said that, they are never anything but charming to me, so they aren't all bad.
