    Totally moved by what you wrote LoneH about saying ‘I love you’ to yourSelf in the mirror. Good reflection!

    …..Loved Greg Cary and Charleton as well as Frank Steve Ryan etc etc :) Once I even fancied Mr Bean!

    hahahahahahahahahahahaha Mr Bean. Oh Mr Bean! If left in a room with Mr Bean I would more than likely punch him out because I find that character so detestable. It’s made my day think that someone found Mr Bean fanciable hahahaha. Oh that’s Excellent, zbd :D :D :D . I used to fancy Patrick Duffy in The Man From Atlantis and Bill Bixby in The Incredible Hulk. I felt so sorry for them in their predicaments and wanted to help them. The pity didn’t extend to Lou Ferrigno -he was too big and bulky. And green.

    Racquel, it was such a confronting thing to do. I don’t think I’d even Seen myself properly before that. Let alone made an attempt to accept myself. There’s still work to do in accepting Mr Bean ;)

    I once had the strangest dream about Patrick Duffy and his Man from Atlantis yellow trunks with black squiggle. Most odd :/

    TLH – Mr Bean is indeed detestable. Did you fancy Patrick Duffy in Dallas? I preferred the 6 million dollar man (Lee Majors?). In fact, he was my first crush.

    Helen – spill the beans on the dream…….

    Oh yes, Helen, do tell about the dream if you can remember details. I love dreams and find them fascinating -and the weirder the better :) . One for the best ones I ever had was when Justin Hayward and John Lodge from the Moody Blues came swimming at my childhood swimming hole. They never actually got in the water because I woke up. They were so inappropriately dressed for it in any case.

    Sylvia – didn’t fancy him in Dallas so I must be a fickle sort of person -it was only his character in the other show I fancied. Yeah, Lee Majors wasn’t too bad. I’m not on the turn, but did find the Bionic Woman prettier to look at :) . You found Mr Bean detestable as well haha. Sometimes characters have redeeming qualities but not him. But he’s lucky because zbd likes him.

    Oh my Mum detests Mr Bean! lol I think he’s the most unattractive man I have ever seen. Poor fella! He’s a bit funny though especially in Blackadder!

    What was that cop show with Bodie and Doyle? Martin Shaw? I fancied him a bit. Then when one day on holiday with my family (age 12) in London he was in a bookshop in Chelsea. I asked him for his autograph and he blew me off! hmmm….end of crush.

  10. Elissa on 3rd February 2010 at 12:56 pm permalink

    Two things I’d love to be able to do….breath under water and fly….

  11. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 1:10 pm permalink

    All I’m saying is that we were in a large cold bathroom, with black and white tiles and there was a tin bath in the room. The rest I think I have blocked from my memory – either that or I woke myself up on purpose…eek !

  12. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 1:17 pm permalink

    ..poor Mr Bean :(
    When I was a kid at school I always fancied the ‘ugly’ boys.. Elton was one of them.. I remember the day he came to me and ask do you REALLY fancy me… how his face lite up when I said yes! and I did..beauty is in the eyes of the beholder….

  13. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 1:20 pm permalink

    Helen!!! your are soooo funny! I would love to be in one of your dreams they sound like fun!!

    The only thing I would love to do is go back in time! Yesterday I was walking down Bond Street and the buildings are just amazing.. no one ever looks up .. if you look up you can almost go back….
    :)

  14. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 1:23 pm permalink

  15. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 1:26 pm permalink

    Mmmmmmmmmmm well hell YEAH! :D :) ;)

  16. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 1:35 pm permalink

    Cluedo it is then ;)

  17. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 1:42 pm permalink

    Mr Bean done it!

  18. Elissa on 3rd February 2010 at 1:45 pm permalink

    I’m worried about you girls….. lol :)

  19. thelonehydrangea on 3rd February 2010 at 2:27 pm permalink

    I don’t remember that show you mentioned, Elissa. Oh wasn’t he a mean thing to crush your crush like that :) .

    A tin bath -hahahaha! Private swimming lessons in the tub. A cold bathroom but all warm in the tub. I’ve got a sore stomach from laughing at my own silly joke. Will never gain be able to see Helen’s name here without thinking of Patrick Duffy.

    I saw a thing on telly and it said that if you tell yourself what you want to dream about it will work half of the time. So tonight I choose to dream that Patrick Duffy will give lessons to Justin Hayward and John Lodge and we all might get to take a dip after all. Then Nick will turn up and try to arrange a concert and then there’ll be someone from school in the crowd that you haven’t seen for years and then it will segue into you going to school and realising that you haven’t got any clothes on or have forgotten an important assignment and there’s no way to get home. It’s always the way.

    Again.

  21. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 2:39 pm permalink

    ..I have the same dream about 4 or so times a year; I am in the Knicker department of Marks and Spencers in Brixton… Naked…. I try and call my Nan to ask her to bring me some clothes but the phone on the wall is for interanl calls only and I cant get an outside line… I always wake up wondering why I didnt put on one pair of the hundred of knickers that are surrounding me!…Ha!

  23. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 3:19 pm permalink

    Hello Tex, not wanting to sound disrespectful – is your nano your Grandma or your iPod ? :(

  24. Tex on 3rd February 2010 at 3:36 pm permalink

    I’m gonna bend you over my knee for that one, babe.

    ; )

  25. Tex on 3rd February 2010 at 3:39 pm permalink

    To clarify for anyone out there, my nano is my iPod.
    Computer is trying to crash as well. Feels like my heart and arms are getting ripped off me with all my props going under…

  26. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 3:40 pm permalink

    I still don’t know the answer…

    Either way, I’m sorry for your loss :(

  27. zbd on 3rd February 2010 at 3:58 pm permalink

    Oh Helen! this is a C R A Z Y place… even Jermey Kyle would have problems understanding us! <3

  28. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 4:30 pm permalink

    You madam are a disgrace – get off my stage ! :D

  29. Helen on 3rd February 2010 at 4:31 pm permalink

    I’m glad it’s your iPod Tex :)

  30. Tex on 3rd February 2010 at 6:10 pm permalink

    Not if you knew how much that little sliver of silver meant to my life, soul and everyday well-being.
    But thanks, girl. I knew what you meant. ; )

    Not clicking on Mr Bean :D :D Naked in Marks and Spencers in the Knicker Department and yet surrounded by knickers – that is so good. The classic no-underwear dream.

    Oh thank goodness Helen asked, Tex. I’m not up with any sort of wankertron gadgets and read it and thought it was your Grandma. I read your comment just before bed and thought: Oh no, poor Tex and didn’t know what to say. Thought processes are not crash hot at that time of the morning. So glad it was only your wankertron.

  33. Mel on 3rd February 2010 at 10:32 pm permalink

    TLH? A wankertron gadget??? So funny!!

  34. Tex on 3rd February 2010 at 10:49 pm permalink

    Wankertron? Okay, ain’t no home exchange action with my villa in Hawaii on that one. Over my knee again you go!

    Kidding…
