    Argh NIM, thanks for the lovely thought but I couldn't possibly gooseberry your date night, especially now you have Gracie, I'd feel terrible!

    Lara is it still Orlando Bloom as Legolas? I was always a fan of him rather than Aragorn, I think I instinctively wanted to make blonde babies with him :D

    So happy you got your op rebooked, Shrimpy!! You were right to complain, and don't feel bad about it. You don't know how many people she spoke horribly too who didn't call her out on it, so you've done the next people who have to deal with her a favour too :p hope it all goes well xx

    EXACTLY!

    I had SO MUCH love for Legolas it was unreal! Orlando Bloom was my boytoy of choice back in the day! :o Shame he ruined it after LOTR by making bad movies! :p

    Not happy that you're disappointed with the Hobbit though! Didn't realise James Nesbit was in it until yesterday and I was like, 'Nooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?' I just don't like the dude! :o

    I had major cravings for Legolas's hair..... I think that comes from being having a mop of dark curls, straight, blonde and floaty is irresistible.

    I know he's really good looking, although I prefer him au natural as a brunette. Tete, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear in my post which was comparing LOTR with the Hobbit. No Legolas action in Hobbitses, only James Nesbitt to ogle :rotfl:

    Or Lucas out of Spooks who plays Thorin Oakenshield! His hair is pretty in the film, though :D

    Hmm no elves and cheesy dialogue, NIM was having a hard enough time convincing me to go, he's on his own on this one.

    No one wants to go and see the Hobbit with me. Might have to actually take my colleagues up on the offer of seeing it as a work outing!

    Glad you've got a new date Shrimpy and the house move is all going forward.

    I'm currently using my dad's new laptop, it took 3 hours to set it all up how he liked because he was insisting that I showed him step by step what to do rather than just doing it for him!

    Hope you all have a good weekend!
