https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00284x4
Two teams of nurses and teachers have their heads turned by stalls of bygone collectibles, while Natasha Raskin Sharp pops to the hairdresser’s. Hairstyles of the 1940s are enjoying a comeback, so Natasha Raskin Sharp visits the ‘salon’ of vintage hairstylist Sarah Bloor. While Sarah creates a glamorous half-up do for model Elli, Natasha asks her about the styles that defined the war years for women, including the victory roll. But which team will be doing a victory lap at the end of today’s episode from Nottinghamshire? Hoping to inject some fun into their shop are nurses Parminder and Alison - and planning to teach them a lesson are schoolteachers Helen and Michelle. With expert Stephanie Connell by their side, the medics spot a model boat at a stall, but they’re unsure whether it will sail to a profit at auction. Across the fair, the blues and their expert Gary Pe are excited by an Egyptian-themed item.

The Translation:
We're back in Southwell/Sothall/Sod-All for today's prance around with Tash wanting to play Doctor's and Nurses, that old innocent Playground favourite. She wants to be Strict Sister Natasha with her Tight T1tty Topped Nurses Uniform, clipboard, and rectal thermometer. She's joined by Staff Nurse Steph with her bowl and flannel ready to give a special BH BB aka Bed Bath, and unfortunately also with Doctor Peeeeee and his ridiculous stethoscope lamp, with his luck, a Gary Meme usually signals another trip to the morgue. Auction is with the Crumpled Consultant, who can usually be found in the canteen, recovering from the previous nights excesses, helping himself to a large portion of rhubarb crumble and custard.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Strict Natasha Raskin Sharp, Glasgow Southside enforcer
[Red Team Expert] Stephanie Connell, the Cockermouth Cumbrian, Our Steph.
[Blue Team Expert] Gary BB is PP, about to change his name by deed poll to Oh Dear It's Gary.
[Auctioneer] Crumpled James Lewis, dragged through a hedge backwards, forwards, then backwards again, which he then tries to flog.
[Auction Location] Bamfords, Derbyshire
[Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Nurses Parminder (BBC BAME Diversity boxed ticked) and Alison,
(Challenge: Connection to water)
[Blue Team] Schoolteachers Helen and Michelle (BBC BAME Diversity boxed ticked),
(Challenge: Comes in a pair)

The Shopping:
Reds: London silver sweet-shaped novelty pill box (47) OK just, Boxed London 1936 Art Deco Cologne bottles (84 Challenge) Phwoar lovely quality there's a chance, Boxed Silver Apostle teaspoons with sugar tongs (75) profit in these.
Blues: Pair of concrete Egyptian fire dogs (32 Challenge) OK heloves Egyptian, 1824 George IV Thomas Shaw silver vinaigrette (130) oooofff gosh ouch, Scottish silver and enamelled Iona brooch (44) OK.

The Distraction:
Hairstyles of the 1940s are enjoying a comeback, so Natasha Raskin Sharp visits the ‘salon’ of vintage hairstylist Sarah Bloor. While Sarah creates a glamorous half-up do for model Elli, Natasha asks her about the styles that defined the war years for women, including the victory roll. Tash pays a visit to the Hairdresser recommended by Lady Foghorn Caroline, which turns out to be Hawley Hemorrhage Hairstylists. She is greeted by a fag-mouthed Northern lady. wearing full chemical protective clothing, with dark eye shields, and industrial ear protectors, who's in the process of filling a large zinc-galvanised bucket with strong Domestos Ultra+ bleach, kills 99% of all known things, and most of the unknown ones, THWACK, dead, as opposed to killing them not dead. Tash says she thinks she'll skip the highlighting and just have a trim, which prompts the revving-up of a Black & Decker Jungle Strimmer. Tash remembers that she needs to see a Hoots mon about a McDog, makes her apologies and promptly exits.

​

The Auction:
Reds: London silver sweet-shaped novelty pill box (12 loss), Boxed London 1936 Art Deco Cologne bottles (29 loss), Boxed Silver Apostle teaspoons with sugar tongs (35 profit).
Steph's BB is an Italian Buccellati silver four-leaf clover (30), 20-30 with a bit of luck, US bid 80, 90. Big 60 note profit.

​

Blues: Pair of concrete Egyptian fire dogs (23 profit), 1824 George IV Thomas Shaw silver vinaigrette (55 loss), Scottish silver and enamelled Iona brooch (36 profit).
Gary's BB is a Cornish-style Silver and ceramic brooch (15), 20-30 that is a profit, 40. 25 profit for Gary.

​

The Aftermath:
Lovely, fully-maned, framing her beaming dimpled, smiling face, Tight Titty Top Tash at an Antiques Fair. Lovely Steph in the BH designed raincoat, this one is Red. Affable but often useless Gary. 2 teams of gobby females. The Red non-BAME one is particularly loud and annoying with a real old witch's cackle. Dreadful. Not the best Crumpled Lewis Auction. His undervaluing seemed to indicate potential skinflintery in the Auction Room. Indeed, online bids were much needed to provide some much needed competition. Reds Gobby Nurses got off to a poor start with the novelty pill box, could do with a WWII one to shut up the loud moron, and the Cologne bottles, which surprisingly you fill with Cologne, make losses. The losses are almost negated with a decent profit on the spoons and it's left to Steph with one of her fabulous BBs, this time a lovely silver four-leaf clover, to firmly thrust the Reds into the Black. They end with an excellent 54 notes profit. Gary's Blues started well with a decent profit on the fire dogs, but his overpriced worn silver vinaigrette, hit the buffers prompting a restrained partial meme, praying for his BH soul. However, things get back on track, and back in the Black, with the really nice Scottish brooch. Gary's hint of Flash, Artsy, and Modernist, for his BB, send immediate alarm bells ringing, thinking back to past monstrosities, but he produces a rather stylish Cornish-style brooch which makes a good profit. The Blues also end on an overall profit of 29. Victory to Steph. Another decent episode with lovely Tash in her Tight T1tty Tank Top for the Auction and valuation, and out-glamourising the hairdressing whales during the Distraction. Remember, in Scotland, a Victory Roll is a large breaded bap stuffed with chips. Lovely Steph in a snappy raincoat, I just wished she would ditch that awful Pink Dress, and a decent performance from Gary. Shame we had to listen to Gobby Red Bird and her horrendous mating call. Best get the Harpoon ready.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Standard outdoor kick on uneven grass. Tash is central to a group of 3 lovely Growler kicks in unison. Everyone else bar Steph, who has her usual dress restriction issues, hit a decent par. Yes, YES!!

​

 

I suppose you could call that kick, 'A Triple Growler'.

 

Excellently synchronised too. Takes me back to the Days of the tiller girls on Saturday Night at the London Palladium

 

The Princess shows us her Whimsies. Is that a glazed Beaver?

Reds are Brothers Teah and Bank Manager. They like to look rather than Play. Sport thst is

I've found you, she says excitedly. Yes, I'm here Princess.

I think we're all UP for it Princess, aren't we Dan?



No peeking, I've met your type before, she says to all Voyeurs.



JP and The Giantess.

She dwarfs the Blue Bloke.

The Giantess rips up the Challenge and shoves it down her gaping latvian gob.

Get our errr (f)ducks in a row.

Run your fingers over the star, the Giantess orders cowering Blue Bloke.





The Giantess rubs the felt on the bottom.

 

Doing some updates to my website at moment, so have today's daily dose of BH f*ckwittery on in the background.

 

Run your fingers over the star, the Giantess orders cowering Blue Bloke. Then she shows him the glass item.



Russell by name Rustle by nature.

Derek Martin does the Distraction.



There's one item he won't be having.

I"LL HAVE A BABYCHAM!!!!



He needs to get her phone number now. Urrgggggh, heeerrrr, heeerrrrr, aaaarrrrrgh. Harper is that you?



Does the Giantess enjoy a Coq or two?

Reds buy: bulldog, Beatles ceramic, Edwardian RNLI binoculars.

What was you fave, asks the Princess. I'm pointing at it now.

Blues: glass vases, Bakelite box, Cockatoos.

That was exciting, followed by a big Dirty Laugh.



Thank you for having us Matt.

Blimey. VPL alert from the Steamstress.

 

"Ryvita likes a......."

I'll get me coat !

 

Those parakeets. Dead loss.

Ugly bulldog thing could fly. Quirky factor.

 

120 for a sugar bowl. Well rejected reds.

 

Reds up: Bulldog makes 30, the Beatles figure makes 30, RNLI binoculars loses 25. Oh dear.

What has JP done with the leftover lolly.

Reds: +35 ( -45 if they went for the BB).

Blues: Pair of vases lose 11, Bakelite box makes 18, C0ckatoos lose 19.

Ryvita's BB is the bronze horse head from earlier (60), 60-80, 65. Makes a fiver.

Blues -7

Our victims, err victors.

 

We reviewed this entertaining episode a year ago, our Yearly Review ........

Timmy:
crikey! theres a gropey fan club too!



Reg:
You'll probably find @wfcmoog running that one.

Obviously, there can't be a Christina appreciation society. It's membership would be so huge that it would crash the internet.

What a question!!



Christina poses Art Deco style with the BH Fascist Eagle.



OT78:
What a sensational NSBHP shot!

The majestic dominant bird, feted by poets and artists everywhere...and an eagle

Take out the background and photoshop-in a Speer interior and that could be a lovely 1937 moment.



Reg:
Glad to oblige.



OT78:
Wonderful all-white outfit too.
Imagine her gliding down this, with the Fuhrer waiting...



Reg:
Meet me round the rear. We obey.



On a cold day, something to warm your hands on.



Put your hand on there. Does it feel cold, says Ryvita? She tenses her muscles and chops off 2 of the wheelchair blokes fingers.

You can always tell when Christina has visited a valuation room.





Peter Dean shows off his Wade Whimsies



I'll have a Babycham or 5 says Christina. Natasha enjoys Scots Babycham aka Bucky Tonic Wine.



The woman mountain doesn't know what a Kockatoo is, despite having a Kockaone herself.

No turn, shrug, and smile today, but there is compensation.



Thanks for having us Matt.

Dirty laughing a-plenty.

Christina squeals in delight.

Matt Tong shouting like the Dalek.

You're up says Christina. Yes I am.

JP spunks all their money on an overpriced sugar bowl. It loses 80 notes. Good decision to reject. Idiotic buy.

Blues make a loss on those vases.

Cockatoo time.

Lazy Brady buy. The earlier horses head. It makes a fiver but it's not enough to pull them to a profit.

Christina pulls the rest of us to the conclusion to the show.

Moog:
Reds were mad to go with those binoculars.

Jp bonus buy a joke. Smart to reject it. He should be kicked off the show for that. Worse than Hanson's transgressions.

Blues unlucky with those vases. I thought they'd make a profit. Those parrots were a pure vanity buy though.

What's Ryvita's BB? Rejected bronze horse. Lazy.

Could make a few quid I think. I reckon there's 10-20 pounds profit in there.

Henry VIII is a charismatic Auctioneer.

Reg:
Great spot!!!! Off with her clothes, er I mean head, sorry I mean SOLD.



Clive:
Brilliant episode! So much to like.

I was particularly impressed by the toothy likeness between the luxuriantly-maned Ms Ryvita and the brass horse's head. @reg_varney any chance of a screen capture of the bit where she's laughing/neighing like a drain just after presenting the equine head?

Blue losing couple were also great, although ironsides bloke was a bit worryingly intense about not winning. Marvellous reaction screen shot of them both at the end with ginger Olive going fully agape so you can see the little wobbler thing at the back of her throat like in tom and jerry.

Top marks for the impressive wheelchair wheelie from ironsides at the end too. Excellent work.

Reg:
You can see Christina frustratingly thinking, God give me strength, as the She-Mountain (subject to chromosomal testing) gives Foggy Bawley some aural competition.. Wheelchair bloke doesn't pass up an opportunity to have a good gawp. Who wouldn't.





Christina confesses that her favourite dwarf is the little heard of Sinful Dwarf. Peter Dean can't help but fiddle with himself.



It's not all doom and gloom for the losing Blue Team. Blue Bloke gets the consolation prize of a satisfying gawp thanks to a great view.



Reg:
Tory Boy Pratt, 1 of 5 experts not to be in profit on their BBs.

Here is the list:
Jonathan Pratt
Gary Pe
Ben Cooper
Colin Young
******* H****n

OT78:
You are all having such larks.
One more week without BH looms for me.
Curse holidays!

Reg:
Coming up next ......

Tash with hair up. Nice, it suits her.



It's a Roo in a box. That's fuelling a fantasy. Is she wearing her boots again?

 

Reg:



Moog:



OT78:
Donald's spotted an anglepoise...

Reg:
I think we have a full set.



Amusing review of one of the Threads favourite films:

https://www.horror.land/reviews/invasion-body-snatchers-1978/

Invasion of the body snatchers (1978)
by Lallen | Apr 27, 2015

In deep space, a race of gelatinous creatures have abandon their dying world, and have taken root on earth. The alien invaders waste no time in starting the invasion, by duplicate the humans with emotionless “pod people” duplicates. It might sounds a little silly and far fetched, but this thrilling 1978 remake is possible the most scariest alien invasion films ever made.



Someone sneezed..
Being the second film adaptation , based on the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, it’s by far the superior film of the four made , and manages to capture the horrible sense of dread and hopelessness present in the book. Snatchers excellent cast and script really help elevate it above the rest. It’s no wonder really when you look at the films amazing cast. Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum and Veronica Cartwright, all mange to pull of fantastic performances. I was actually surprised to see Nimoy and a very young Goldblum in the same film together. This epic Sci-Fi Horror takes us on a disturbing journey to world where human extinction is inevitable, and boy is it scary!



The floor lighting really helped elevate the mood!
You all know the scenario, The Alien menace takes over one person, and then a second. Two become four, four become eight and before long you don’t know who is human and who is not. It’s become such an overused story line that it was parodied in the 2013 film, The Worlds End. However, out of all the films I’ve seen, none have managed to make me feel as hopeless as Snatchers. It’s casual approach to the invasion lures you in with a sense that something could be done to stop it. Whilst your constantly questioning which of health inspector Matthew Bennell’s (Donald Sutherland) friends are still human, the real invasion is happening out of camera, and it’s terrible consequences are suddenly thrust upon you. It’s really thrilling and keeps you engrossed through out.



And then I woke up covered in silly string again…
The pod people themselves are really creepy. With a simple point of a finger and an unearthly open mouthed scream, they mark the humans that have yet to be turned. When there are lots of them on screen, emotionlessly wandering around, it has a feel of Night of the Living Dead to it. There’s one scene that reveals that it’s not just humans that can be turned too, a dog with a human face walks into shot, to the horror of Brooke Adam’s eye candy character Elizabeth Driscoll. Because these pod people are emotionless, it’s really easy to blend in with them,. All you need to do is not expressing any feelings, this makes for some hilarious, if not alarming, scenes where our heroes are literally queuing up with the enemy.



I landed on my keys!
However, they humans end is inevitable, as death comes to us whilst we sleep. The copies are made whilst we are dreaming and our bodies are quickly drained and discarded shortly after. It’s the same concept in which the Nightmare on elm street films played off of for years, and it’s just as scary here as it was with Kruger. We all need to sleep, and it will come to us whether we want it or not.



The Alien nudist colony was going to be a big hit.
Ive always found Alien invasion films to be particulate fun to watch, especially american films of these times, which were always channel the tension brought about the Cold War, and I guess that the “them versus us” aspect of an invasion film is the perfect platform in which to portray the desperate hopelessness that the american public felt. There is also the social aspect of an invasion of these type. The take-over is done stealthily and slowly , starting with everyday folks and feeding up the chain of command. The question is, would the society in which we live in today even notice if it was really happening? It’s a scary thought and also one which could be looked upon as a simile for the spread of disease. One thing is for sure, the whole subject matter is terrifying, and it certainly scares the hell out of me.



Pulled the zipper up too quickly!
The Original 1956 film ended with quite optimistically, suggesting that it was not late to stop the invasion and save Earth. However the directors Don Siegel had shot additional footage, that was cut, that suggested otherwise. This 1978 version maintains the original concept and the ending is very bleak. To be honest, this comes as no surprise, as it becomes apparent just how hopeless the whole situation is , from very early on in the film. It takes ideas from the 1956 version, but it changes them and presents them bigger and bolder, making for a far more enjoyable experience. The original story taking place in a small town , Whilst this versions invasion starts in San Francisco, a sprawling city of already unfamiliar faces and people.



I think he’s been in there too long?
Snatchers is a very intelligent film, filled with clever dialogue and well written scenes that help to build a very real world, one which is under a very dreadful threat. It’s a genuinely creepy film and it’s story really centrers on conformity and loss of free will. Something we all fear. However, the real horror lies within the idea that the world ends because people are simply too busy with their own lives, to worry about the small concerns and troubles of others, a theme we see played out several times throughout the film. Are we really too self absorbed to see what is plainly laid out before us? Are we destined to be destroyed by the world that we have created for ourselves?



Pull my finger.
Snatchers weaves a pretty bleak story, but it’s fun, dark and full of excitement. Whilst clearly a product of the 1970’s , it’s age does nothing to draw away from the strong story and amazing cast.

Don’t be afraid to sleep, but just be warned, you may not wake up yourself tomorrow. It’s probably already too late!

Run Wild in Wrexham Lobby Cards II:

 

Re-up from February 2024.
BBC approved preamble:
Uttoxeter 18
Series 67
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001wld4
Delve into the miniature world of Wade Whimsies with Christina at an antiques fair at Uttoxeter Racecourse. Christina is in the county famed for its ceramics to host another contest between two bargain-hunting teams. Staffordshire is also the birthplace of Wade Pottery and a postwar collecting phenomenon. From the 1950s onwards, Wade made Whimsies, small solid porcelain animal figures that are still collected today. Christina meets an avid collector who owns pieces worth hundreds of pounds. At Uttoxeter Racecourse, brothers Alistair and Dominic rummage for bargains with their expert Jonathan Pratt. They spot a huge leather megaphone but decide it isn’t anything to shout about. Meanwhile, the blue team, mum and son Pam and Dan, are shopping with expert Irita Marriott when they spot a flambe ceramic cat, but the three-figure sum means it’s too hot to handle. The question is, will the teams’ items set Matthew Tong’s saleroom on fire?

The Translation:
Christina, Empress of Eroticism, surveys her realm, which today is the majestic vista of Uttoxeter Nag Arena. We salute her majesty in our special way. Cough, Ahem. She is joined by Tory Boy pursuivant, Keeper of the Gaffes, JP Pratt. The other blot on the landscape, and a very large blot it is, is Gigantor, Ryvita Marryabrady, taking a break from the Estonian Apprentice with Lord Binatone and his BBC box tick helper M B E Fore-Watt, and chairing Toss Smut Asided FC proprietor P Orno Dwarsullivan in his faux Oligarch hat. The former decathlete, hold on don't women only compete in a maximum of 7 events, would certainly give Bruce Jenner a run for their money. Auction is with King Matthew XIII in Wrexham. Going, Going, Divorced, Going, Going Beheaded, Going, Going, Died. Let's hope the bidding doesn't and the Profits survive.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Steamstress Christina Trevanion, Doyen of the dirty laugh.
[Red Team Expert] Gently effeminate, gaffe prone Jonathan JP Pratt with his Tory boy fashion style
[Blue Team Expert] Irritata Marryalot, the Latvian Karen Brady
[Auctioneer] King Matthew's Tonga Tonga, Stick it Up Your Honga
[Auction Location] Tong's Auction House, Wrexham
[Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Teacher Alistair and Bank Manager Dominic, very camp rattle-twirling brothers, evidently they like to watch. They spot a huge leather megaphone, nothing more needs to be said.
(Challenge: In the form of a human)
[Blue Team] Florist/Dairy Farmer Mum Pam and Comedian son Dan Dan, the wheelchair-bound man.
(Challenge: In the form of an animal)

The Shopping:
Reds: Large resin bulldog splattered in paint (75) OK, Fab 4 Beatles figurine (55 Challenge) OK, Early 20th century Edwardian RNLI binoculars (49) ouch, oh dear says Matt.
Blues: 1928 Silver-rimmed cut glass vases (35) can't go wrong, 1930s 2-Tone Bakelite box (12) a definite winner, Pair of Crown Staffordshire pottery Cockatoos (99 Challenge) might struggle.

The Distraction:
Christina's asked if she'd like to see Virgina Wade's Whimsies. For once she looks shocked, but her face soon lights up and she dirtily laughs when she spots a large black coq to squeeze and fondle with her nimble hands. On seeing Virgina Wade's Whimsies, Muttley would run a mile. He hates them. He's more of a Japanese Sex Doll man.

​

The Auction:
Reds: Large resin bulldog splattered in paint (30 profit), Fab 4 Beatles figurine (30 profit), Early 20th century Edwardian RNLI binoculars (25 loss).
JP's BB is a 1900s Birmingham silver sugar bowl with blue glass liner 120, REJECTED 60-80, 40. Big loss. Shame on you Tory Boy.

​

Blues: 1928 Silver-rimmed cut glass vases (11 loss), 1930s 2-Tone Bakelite box (18 profit), Pair of Crown Staffordshire pottery Cockatoos (19 loss).
Ryvita's BB is the Bronze Horse's head on a marble base from earlier (60), 60-80, 65. A small profit inversely proportional to frame of Expert.

​

The Aftermath:
Another entertaining Auction with Junior Dalek Matthew Tong, Tongue rolling the bids, barking in excitement, he just needs to develop his plunger arm flinging. Makes a change to see an eclectic Audience rather than the OAP Zombies we've been seeing recently. Christina, looking great as always, is on her usual wonderful dirty laughing form. Camp Red brothers were unfortunately saddled with JP Junior Tory Minister, the effeminate Grandee, Chair of the secretive '69 backroom committee. Profits on the weird spattered dog and Fab Four china, line up a potential GG with the RNLI binoculars. Unfortunately, they fail to spot a profit, so the GG is lost at sea. Then JP, in a pure brain fart moment, just like he often does, spunks 120 notes on a silver basket, worth only half that amount. Even the camp Reds realise it's a clunking disaster so wisely reject much to JPs obvious discomfort. It only gets to 40 notes. A massive 80 pound loss. What an idiot. A potential 45 loss is avoided and the Reds end up 35 in the black, no thanks to their so-called expert. The Blue team with wheelchair son, who was very canny getting the sympathy vote on the haggling by doing his sad cow eyes, like an infant asylum seeker rescued from a small boat. They had Ryvita Brady, the Latvian She-Man, Giant of the Haystacks, Cover Star of Lats Porridge Oats. They haggle and get some decent discounts on their items, which still doesn't mean that they weren't heavily overpriced anyway. The silver-rimmed vases make a loss, on another day they would've made a profit all day long, then the Ska's the limit as their Selectered 2-Tone Bakelite Box, which they got for only 12 notes, sells for 30, pure Madness. Have they gone Too Much Too Young at this stage of the Auction. They probably paid too much for the Crown Staffs cockatoos, despite a big discount, and this is confirmed with another loss. Perhaps on another day they would have made a profit on those. Perhaps on another day Christina will be turning up at Hyperion in St. Ives. They are 12 notes down. Will the Baltic Cavalry arrive and save the day. Not really. The Giantess' BB turns out to be the Horse's Head on a stick from earlier. It makes a fiver and they end on a loss of 7. To be beaten by a Pratt team must be galling. Very satisfying episode on many levels.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Standard indoor kick in cramped conditions. A decent effort all round. Everyone hits par but JP is late as he elevates his leg in pure Public School Booting the Fag style. Special mention to Blue Team who give a decent wheelchair and helper combined elevation. Yes, YES!!

​

 

R.I.P. Rick Buckler

 

Fantastic drummer. Dare I say as vital to the sound of The Jam as Weller and Foxton? RIP Rick

 

I rather expected a thong...

 

Dizzie repeat again today, with Colin and the squeak, then back to Les Pattersons Penny Emporium. More Leather and Blue Velvet? Better have a lie down..

 

I think I need to see this:

The Squeak says Lancashire and shatters many windows.

Reds are Nurse and support worker couple (bat for the home team).

Blues are Weird looking inhabitants from Lesbos (bat for the veteran opposition team)

They look like Joe 90 who's had a Sex Change.



Piece of 20th century furniture/Decoratively carved

Are we going to do the 2-in-1 Challenge?, asks Dizzie.

Avoid the dark wood, says Dizzie.

Not my taste at all says Dizzie baulking at some wood.

Dizzie is sceptical over a gleaming helmet.

Discounts of stinge.

Dizzie impressed by Red Bloke's oral technique.

Burfffing chair.

12 pound item you could lose 12 notes Colin.

Dizzie sniffy about drawers of chest.

Blue BAMEr is not feeling it with the ammo box. She prefers other older boxes.

Chester Drawers.

 

This must be the THIRD time this one's been shown, the little cutie with the specs on the red team is quite sassy.

 

Best f'kn place for him.

 

Yes, the Nurse is a cutie.

 

That bloody squawk too.

 

Lol, Yellow Pages.

I'd gladly let my fingers do the walking down Dizzie

 

"It doesn't look great on top...."

Neither would you love.
