ENGLAND 89 - The End of an Era: BritTarts weep for Who????

Despite being away at her family home for the long weekend, Gusti can’t resist the pull of Breakfast Club, and joins from her brother’s computer. Elb too struggles vainly against the lure, and joins Gusti who is excited over the possibility of Elb visiting Vienna. Gusti adds to the babytalk of last night, admitting that she too is ready for motherhood, but her situation isn’t right yet. As she goes to hunt down her little nephew, Elb heads off to research digital cameras... OzTart Jo pops in for her weekly fix, and says that Qweenie’s Pom ancestry only goes to prove that Brits DO talk for ENGLAND! Sparkle updates the thread on her friend - slightly improved - and Tina has dreams of Tennant in kilt and cornfield......... JoMar’s hubby is in training to be a Tartan, and Elb is jealous of DT dreams and POTC2 viewing.... Els goes bananas with a credit card, and is skint but cool with a kapital K!

Euphemia stuffs her washing machine instead of the Sunday roast, and forgets to remove her bling when brushing round the bend, while Magdalena says hello. Yorkie’s son has helped her make a new siggy, which is temporarily indisposed as Photobucket have mislaid it, and Elb is much relieved that it’s not just her who can’t see the Emperor’s New Siggy....... Eventually, all is revealed, and Yorkie basks in the glow from the ENGLAND Siggy Appreciation Society.... Loubylou meanwhile is having siggy troubles of her own, and tries, tries, then tries some more.... OzJo thinks Elb is ignoring her, so Elb reassures her in great detail that this is not the case, and Del crawls in after jokingly being blamed for Gusti and Elb’s new Moleskine fetish....Eeyore apologises unneccessarily for opening Pandora’s Box last night, Els thinks Real Life is overrated and Del apologises unneccessarily for revealing too much...... Miss Hyde has a wibble over Flibble, and Del gives tips to Louby. She has to venture out into the Real World for supplies, and ponders whether to go see Cap’n Jack, while Els wants to make a new siggy but can’t be arsed....

Sparkle dreams of a repeat of the Restaurant Scene in London, except that Elb is struck dumb after speaking to Gerry, whilst in reality, Elb has JUST been reading about the incident in Messages for Gerry..... She is temporarily rendered speechless as per Sparkle’s prediction..... Eeyore sits uncomfortably on the fence whilst watching tennis, and Goffy thinks she’s got a bat in her “brian”..... Snow plays hookey from housework and pleads for recipe instructions for Heinz beans on toast, while Em stinks of whippersnappers and hasn’t quite got over Doctor Who yet.... Del posts instructions for Snow, as does Goffy, but varies hers with the magic ingredient of cheese, and Em celebrates getting her old job back and going to see Michael Ball next week.....Goffy drools over Welsh Rarebit, and envies Del 15 hours of snoozing while she only got 3 and a bit. Eeyore gets off the fence and tidies her room, and ENGLAND multi-tarts, talking food and starsigns whilst posting picspam. THEN they start with the singing...... Eeyore posts customised picspam and The Wanderer returns - Catherine - and Parker - arrive home...Snow hits 1000 and Eeyore is surprised to recognise Del’s photos of Orkney, as she visited there last May. Em is stunned by the mention of her faves - cheese and Attilapants - whilst seeking light refreshment, and is imagined by Snow to be one of the Three Stooges.... ENGLAND posts belated WOOTs for Snow’s 1000th, Em warns the others not to mock her cheese addiction, as Elb is Chief Cheese-Teaser, but Snow leaves a cheesetastic pressie for Em before she departs...... Jo catches up and gets a strange craving for beans on toast, but Equilibrium will be regained when she and Goffy watch it later. Elb returns to the thread (not that anyone noticed she’d gone....) after dispatching an unwanted visitor, and reminds Del to watch Doctor Who later - with tissues! Goffy does a Barry Norman impression and turns film critic, and armed with a sarnie, heads off to watch ‘You’ve Got Mail’ along with Elb, who is sadly unarmed and ham and cheeseless. Els fancies her umpteenth time of watching ‘Kate and Leopold’, and has spent the afternoon making a siggy which is apparently pants..... Miss Hyde’s dad has lost the vital Sky PIN number, so she will lose her Equilibrium, and tells Els that ENGLAND have the right to decide the pants-ness of her new siggy. Goffy throws in a Balespam grenade....

Euphemia returns from the Outside World, where Misu has devoured most of Pizza Hut..... she worries about how to fill him up when he reaches puberty..... Yorkie touches down briefly, barely able to make herself heard over the deafening ticking of ENGLAND’s biological clocks last night. She agrees with Del in that young men are permanently hungry, and contemplates buying shares in Tesco.... Her son is compared to a flute, whilst Euphemia’s has a black hole for a stomach, as both devour everything in their path but never gain weight. Els finally plucks up courage to post her new Snog-a-Sparrow siggy, but it goes down a storm..... She confesses to ordering 18 inches of Jack, and Euphemia compliments all the new ENGLAND siggies. Catherine finally catches up with all the posts from the last two days and decides a cheese sandwich is in order. Del hums while eating and purrs at other times, and Elb finally catches up again....She is starving hungry after blogging all the food comments, and realises she’s forgotten dinner again... Yorkie meanwhile thinks ENGLAND have jumped ship, but Del, Eeyore and Goffy are still aboard, along with Euphemia who does the obligatory “Avast behind!” nautical gag, as Elb has already taken the “I hum after a long day...” option.....Miss Hyde is a multi-tarter, and Snow appears in uniform as she’s at work, and hoping that the natives stay restful....

Elb warns Del to take tissues for tonight’s repeat of Doctor Who’s finale which set ENGLAND afloat yesterday, and masochist Em says she too is going to watch the repeat as she’s still wearing her life jacket...... Signe is welcomed back after an absence, and agitated Del wants a score in footie so she is assured of her place in the Doctor Who Final...... Signe dreams of JR Eeeeuuuwing, Yorkie is curious about Snow’s cross-dressing, and Em can’t look at Doctor Who the same way after seeing certain parts of ‘Casanova’.....Els explains to Signe that Gerry is taking a break while she indulges herself in Sparrowness, and Em is nearly finished off by DT’s “mine doesn’t do that....” Elb gets her tongue twisted around Tennant-Totty Botty, to which Em has no answer, and Snow declares she’d only get into men’s clothes by choice if the man was still inside.......

Yorkie’s boys apply to be supportive to Keira Knightley who is rumoured to be filming nearby, and at last Del gets a result, and goes through to the final...... The Gerryspam continues unabated, and Yorkie flings herself willy-nilly at Attilly, whilst Els joins the Who Blub-fest again so she can weep freely...... Catherine gets stuffed, feels sick and puts herself to bed, Miss Hyde chastises Els for her Keira-No-Cleavage comment, but agrees and Jo thinks she hums....... She too joins the Wibbly Watchers of Who, and shares her tissues with Goffy.......Tina drops in very briefly after watching ‘Kate & Leopold’ with Huge Ackman, and is still online some time later, succumbing to Tennant-tongue porn. She and Lady Wolfshead Senior have been to see POTC2, but prefer the first one; Mum fancies Orly-boy, but Tina prefers ‘em rough around the edges....Elb complains that ENGLAND talk too much, as she hasn’t had a chance to interact tonight, but enjoys the vid that Tina posts, featuring a singing DT, an ice cream and Elvis..... Jo aims for a triple whammy of Tennant, Butler & MacGregor in ice-cream pornage, but discovers that Butler’s got more nuts..... ENGLAND’s Masochist Squad return for fresh supplies of tissues which are posted by Jo, and Elb brings in the Optrex.... Els reprimands herself for being girly and forces herself to walk the plank as punishment, Yorkie is bemused by the attraction to TT, and retires to Noddyland. Del manages not to cry, but bemoans the fact that ENGLAND’s heart-throbs never seem to get the girl.....

Most of the crew are gone now, and Snow gets a complex, Jo posts a piccy of her and Teeny-Beanie, and Snow gets given the Elb Street Blues.... Eeyore tucks ENGLAND up, and all is peaceful...........
