It's sunday afternoon, and do you know what that means? Free time ! And how is free time best spend? Why, by posting a massive post on livejournal offcourse ! :D What else could one possibly do with my time ?

There is, as promised, the massive London review... here

London is a fantastic city. There, I said it . And I mean it. I got there by Eurostar and got there at eight in the morning. Adventerous as I am, I had only booked my eurostar tickets. I still had to find a place to sleep, see If I could get tickets to the sea and miserables, and just kind of decide at the spot what I would do with my time.

I started by taking the tube from St. Pancreas. You should've seen me, I was screaming 'toerist'. I had my camera and a map of london in my hand, a few bags in my hand and was looking around very excited, like Mariah Carey in a shop where they only sell mini skirts. After getting my tickets for the tube from a woman who called me 'love' and gave me a 'this city is going to eat you alive' look I entered the tube station. HOLY. CRAP. I tried to get through the exit barrier first. Dirty looks. I realised I had to get through the other exit first, but couldn't get my card in right. people behind me started clucking their tongues. Somebody pushed me out the way and went through and everyone else followed, so I just stood there looking puzzled and panicked. Then a boy, (someone that I think the media would call a yob, he did kinda have that 'I nick handbags for fun' look about him ) came towards and showed me how it was done. He asked me where I was going and I said I didn't really know, so he told me where to find a hostel, (piccadelly's backpacker hostel) and led me to the right tube. When standing on the escalator, I went and stood next to him. He patiently dragged me to the right side. He dropped me at the right tube and asked me where I was from and in response to 'Belgium', he said 'Just my luck, I meet a pretty girl, she lives across the channel.' and he smiled. I asked for his adress so I could send him a card from Belgium, which I did. So far, so good eh ?

Still beaming, I entered the tube, minding the gap offcourse and thought I would strike up a conversation with a random Londoner. I said 'very good weather,no?' but he didn't reply. In fact he didn't even flinched. He just stared righ ahead. I thought, perhaps, he hadn't heard me or my terrible english was to blame, so I tried again. I said brightly, something about being a toerist in london and if he had any tips, but he just gave me such a condencending look that I trailed off and grabbed a metro to hide behind. Poor, poor kerry katona btw.

Having reached picadelly, I looked for the hostel, but couldn't find it. I wandered around for thirty minutes before asking a policemen. He produced a map, circled something on it, and thrust it in my hands. Here's an observation for the London Toerism Office. If someone is approaching you with two maps in her hand, a bewilderd look and a question of 'how do I get to' EXPLAIN it to them. If that person has already got several maps with her, it's an indication that she can't READ THEM. Simple explenations may suit them better. I did finally found the street (completely by accident) checked myself in and left to find the Ticket booth.

At the ticket booth, they didn't have the sea on sale yet. Come back in half an hour the man say. So I just rejoined the que again and waited again for thirty minutes. Being in possesion of a ticket, I explored London. I did the national portret gallery, the national gallery,went to see the parlement in session and visited camden market and oxford street. (Top shop is EPIC) But none of you want to hear about that. Nope, because you all wanna know about HARRY TIME! (possible spoilers)

First, the play itself. I think the reason why some people don't like it that much is because it's supposed to be a comedy. I thought it was more of a tragedy, really. Eileen atkins was phenomenal. She and david haig. My god, his timing, his expressions, It just all was flawless ! And Russel Tovey. To be honest, when you all gush about him on livejournal, I'm usually like 'why?' do his ears have some romantic atraction to you all? But after seeing him perform, I completely understand. Especially when he had his 'RAAARW, I HAVE BIG STICK' scene Iwas extremely attracted to him. And harry. Oh harry. You know, this is why we love you so much. Not because you are one of the most gorgous men alive. Not because you have an extremely lickable neck. (Okay, this may influence it a little bit) but because you are a GREAT ACTOR. You can see the character evolving all in just two hours time. The only thing I wasn't pleased about is Rose ending up with harry's character. I thought it was kinda like 'Oh, fiance died, emo emo, over it, going with somebody else then.' And I'm not just saying that because the actress gets to kiss harry every night.

And then. Meeting harry. Thing is, I wasn't really nervous, up untill I left the theatre. I then walked very fast towards the stage exit, (walking fast is something I do when nervous to calm myself.) I overtook three pretty girls also going towards the stage exit. Something clicked in my brain. I asked them if they were there for harry lloyd as well and they said yes. I was sooo relieved. I asked if they were from livejournal as well and they were! Curlybeach was lovely and funny and they were really nice to me. It made my trip. When harry and russel exited they came towards us with this really big smiles on their faces, and my mind just shattered. I kinda went up to harry and said 'hi, I'm a representive of your Belgium Fanclub. There's three of us.' And he started laughing and saying things like 'Really? That 's great, that's fantastic.' I explained to him that a friend of mine couldn't be there and asked him if I could take a picture him and a sign with her name on. He laughed and said it was a great idea. I stood in front of the prettyness and took this picture.

He said, 'I closed my eyes, didn't I ?' and peeked over my shoulder at the pic. I said yeah, and we tried again, with this result.

I asked him if I could have one with him aswell, and he said sure and he put his arm around me. I didn't dare look at him or put my arm back around him. I just noticed he smelled nice.

While the other girls where taking their pics with harry, I noticed Russel Tovey was standing there alone so I went over to him and asked ' Do you usually have a horde of girls attacking you after shows?' He started laughing and said he didn't. And that he was always pleased if it did. We talked about the difference in Belgian and English television and he said he played tin tin in a show once. I started to laugh at that and said it was excenlently cast. When the other girls where done I asked if they could take a pic of me and russel as well. Because I am such a small girl, he crouched . That made me laugh again. I did put my arm around him. I just felt more comfterable , because I had never fangirled about him yet.

Oh well. After that we got the autographs. Harry asked me my name, I said Charlotte, and he gave a sideways glance that made my heart stop. My autograph said,'Dear charlotte, It was very nice to meer you, love Harry Lloyd.' Jaaaaay. I got one for Ine as well and that was it really. When I went to bed in my youth hostel I started shaking. Afterschock, I suppose. The only thing I was worried about was my bad english. I hope they didn't just smile and nodded at me because they couldn't understand me.

I'll put up the rest of the London pics and the autographs later this week.Because this is already a massive post, and my fingers hurt from typing.

Love, charly.

This is only part one, mind you. The rest will come later this week

London and Harry Lloyd

2008-04-02T23:37:16Z

Howdy how folks.

I did it. I survived London. Go me. As it's now about one A. M. and my fucking computer doesn't work ( yes, I've said the f-word on livejournal. Please don't look chocked. I've heard it in London all the time. For example the phrase, ' Get to the fucking right side of the escalator' is used quite frequently.)

I'll be putting up a full account of London (including my review for The Sea and Les Miserables) tomorrow or the day after. I'm just too tired right now.The few things I have to get off my chest right away are the following ones. I've made a list.

1. What the hell is wrong with you, traffic lights of london? 20 bloody seconds won't do to cross the street.

2. curlybeach is one of the nicest people I've ever met. One of the funniest too.

3. Inemien, you were supposed to go with me, but my comp chrashed and the University computers are locked against Hotmail and Livejournal, the basterds. So I couldn't get back to you, for which I am truly sorry. I got the harry pic for you, in the hope that you will forgive me. I also got you an autograph, that says ' get well soon.' I'd explained you couldn't come and he asked me why and I said ' she's got cancer.' A friend of mine, inez, has got cancer, and she was so much on my mind that I mixed up. chemo's been succesfull though, thank god. anyway, on with the pics.

Me and the lovely russel tovey, who played tin tin. Oh you lovable thing you!

Me and harry. God I love the look on his face :D

And Ine's picture.

O've got two more pics of harry and the autographs to put up but forgive me, I'll get in the details later. Sleeeeep. And dreaming of harry must come first.

The wonderfull harry lloyd Robin hood episodes one and two.

I'm not funny. Please ignore the non funny caps. They are for the benefit of my other personality.

This is will scarlett. Note the wood. HE's gooooood with it.

He also has an adorable brother. Who's not good with a bow. And harry is so upstaging the bow.

No comment.

For some odd reason, it makes me happy if harry is bigger then everyone else. I added lines so you could all be sure :)

Someone mentioned in one of the reviews that they needed more hand!porn. So this one is specially for them.

awww. Look at him being sad because he has no facial hair. Or about the fact that he's going to die.

I have an axe !

...Or do I ?

2008-01-18T23:09:12Z

Howdy folks ! as some of you may know, I recently did my history of fashion exam. It went rather well, all though the friend I was telling you about went out crying. And the guy I have had a soft spot for for ages came up to me and asked me how it went. It made me a happy camper. I needed to do something to let of steam and so I compiled a picspam with all the very worst anochronisms that there are in robin hood. Don't get me wrong, I like nay love, robin hood, and this is for entertainemt only. It's not meant to be critizising. We all know not to take the show that seriously.

First we have will scarlet and his ( unbelievable big) shoes. Peasant wore poulains or just leather sewed around the foot. Not the latest fashionable shoe wear.

Whenever you're having a lousy day, think about these outfits and you know it could be worse.

I love the sheriff. The guy has the best dress sense in the whole of nottingham.

I personally like the sandals better.

Next, we have the evidence that the costume lady has seen all quit on the western front one too many times.

Marian, marian, marian. You know, I forgive you. I forgive you for sometimes wearing the most hideous dresses this planet has. I forgive you for the yellow cardigan, even for the fugly blue combat trousers. But this I cannot forgive. Hairpins. This bugged the crap out of me. You know why? Because it is is such a small detail to remember.

Another thing that bothers me. They don't dress up the extra's. They just let them wander about in their stuff they came in. As long as it has a hood, they reckon it's fine and medieval.
see the guy on the left? that's an ordinary sweater. and the girl/boy/it on the right? Hoody.

And then there are little johns pants. Do you know why he let his beard go? To draw attention away fom the pants. They're just plain demin. Damn you costume lady.
I've no idea why but I can't seem to find any caps that show them good. I'll let it go for now.
May I also dra attention that I found something else then marians dresses to fuss about? I'm very proud of myself.
and the qoutes of episode three will be online tommorrow evening.

Robin hood Qoutes S1 ep 2

2008-01-05T11:45:35Z

This is the second episode of series one. The qoutes that is. Again, there is a lot of Robin and Much, but as we progress and the gang takes form, we'll get more Allan, will and friendly banter ! I'll also have some qoutes from the actors commentry that goes with this episode online later today.

Edit; The qoutes from the audio track are now online, below the other ones. The beard ones are hilarious.
I love comments, btw :)

Robinhood episode two

Gizzy : loosen your tongues or lose your tongues !

Much; you’re making a mistake!

Roy: what? You’re going to send an army to hunt us down? Tear us limb from limb? Do you think we are afraid of the Sherriff?

Much: We are also against the Sherriff!

Roy; what do you want, a medal?

Much: that rabbit is not… I think you’ll find that that rabbit is not yet cooked.

Random outlaw: I think you’ll find he eats them raw.

Much: raw? I don’t think that’s wise. I mean that could be dangerous.

Allan: look, will you just shut up?

Much: this is our forest too. I think you’ll find.

Guard 1: robin, he’ll never be master of anything now.

Guard 2: Master of Sherwood Forest.

Guard 1: Robin of the woods

Guard 2: Robin wood.

Guard 1; I like that

Guard 2: Guy would like that

Guard 1: well then you should tell him

Guard 2: I’m not going to tell him

Guard 1; Why not?

Guard 2; Well he may not like it.

Robin; (about the Sherriff): we will stop his insane taxes and give them back to the poor where they belong!

Roy; *sarcastically* sure…

Robin: We will rob him! And if you dead men had spines in your back that’s what you would have been doing for the past five years.

Roy: rousing lavender boy.

Random outlaw: good luck

Baldy outlaw: yeah, see ya.

Robin draws his bow

Roy: that would be a mistake, I think you’ll find.

Robin looks around to see he is surrounded.

Much: you are in no position to argue… dunderhead!

Much sees he is surrounded

Much: oh.

Much: look, you’ve tied us up, we’ve tied you up. We could call it quits. We could all be on our way.

Little john aka papa bear: him, I do not like.

Little john; you robin of Locksley?

Robin nods

Little john; Robin, earl of Huntingdon?

Robin nods and smiles

Little john nods and knocks out robin.

Much : that is nasty. That is brutish.

Sherriff: *after robins capture* oooohw.. All hope lost?

After much says that they need to rescue Robin

Will: how?

Allan: No point anyway

Much; No point… ? you’d be dead if it wasn’t for my master

Allan *shrugs* that’s true

Much: You’d be dead

Allan: Mind you, I wasn’t supposed to hang in the first place. That was just confusion.

Much: I hate the Sherriff. And I hate you if you are not going to help robin.

Sherriff: you’re free to go. But if you do, Tomorrow, a few of your villager friends won’t be, how shall we say… on speaking terms with you.

Robin sits down in his cell: I do not know why Englishmen travel 2000 miles to fight evil, when the real cancer is right here.

Sherriff; listen I hear a noise, do you hear a noise? I think it’s a dead man talking.

Outlaw: think the whiny one will make it ?

Roy: What’s he gonna do? Stroll into Nottingham and ask ‘can my friend lavender boy go free?’

Allan: Could’ve given him the horse. (ahw, bless you Allan )

Roy; Then we’d lose the horse too, think about it.

Allan: *with the dog* Who’s a good boy aye? *smiles* need some help?

Marian: you are an utter fool.

Robin: You said that already.

Robin: Trust me! I have a plan. Well, half a plan… I love it when you look at me like that.

Much; this is a rescue! And we are undetected.

Cries of ‘in the dungeons, outlaws, after them!’ follow

Much: Ah.

Sherrif: Impressive. But each arrow in the wood, well that’s a point lost isn’t it?

Allan: she’s your wife? What does she see in you?

Qoutes eppie two audio commentary

As the outlaws are against the tree.

LG: I think Joe was quite angry in that. I think he was the only one who actually had to take his top off.

AP: Well what time of year was it?

DM: Well, they were all supposed to take their tops off

AP: yeah, they were all a bit wussies.

GK: We didn’t. We were all ready to do it; it was the director who went missing.

DM: But Joe was the one who went to the gym in preparation; nobody else did.

AP: yeah he looks like it. (Yes he does!)

GK: I did

(As Will frees robin and co)

GK: can you draw attention to Harry’s beard there, Will Scarlett? Absolutely momentous.

(When the Sherriff is cutting out tongues)

GK: Already Keith is bored with the series. You notice Keith is sitting down there? Difficult to tell the difference, but there you are.

(As robin corners little john and co, with his bow)

AP: Where did robin get his bow from?

GK: There is a prop shop in the middle of Sherwood Forest. ( this actually explains a lot)

GK: ‘Him I do not like’ that’s lovely, already the catchphrase is in place.

Little John is waking Robin up with water.

LG: That’s actually whiskey

GK: Oh, yes, all through the series if I drink something, it’s whiskey. It’s a contractual thing.

LG: (to Gordon) what’s your theme?

GK: It’s the elephant march out of jungle book.

LG ( to Gordon about Alice Little) So how young was she then when you married her?

GK: Five.

(As robin gives himself in)

GK: Look at that, the Sherriff is visibly turned on by robin, Keith really does play that.

DM: In PG, Gordon, come on.

LG: It was really hard sitting on that side, that armrest, because, lovely as the dress is it’s really slippery. And that thing was about three inches wide, I was concentrating harder on just staying put.

DM: I thought you were so uncomfortable with the thought of losing robin.

LG: Well… well, that’s it as well, I mean.. That’s the main reason

GK: Oh, you’ve so blown it Lucy. Here we were all thinking it was good acting.

GK: Coming up is the scene where we have a beardless Little John.

AP: Yeah, shame on you.

GK: Shame on me? Yeah, ‘cause it’s my fault obviously. What was I supposed to sit and go *makes a sound as if he is quite constipated*

LG: Yeah but everyone else’s beard looks quite pale as well, Sam’s is … looks kinda.

GK: I really have a big beard, just nobody notices.

( on her scene in the dungeons, which was her first scene filmed)

LG: And I didn’t know Jonas very well.

GK: Oh you thought that guy was Robin Hood; and it was a confusion and then you started kissing him and then we had to tap you lightly on the shoulder and go ‘Lucy, Lucy, it’s the guy with the hood!’

GK: Do you know my kids now actually have a sweepstake, about how many words I’ll say in an episode?

GK: … and has Jonas Armstrong as a screensaver.

LG: Ad I’m pinned up on the fridge?

GK: No, no that’s Richard Armitage that’s pinned up on the fridge.

LG: Oh.

DM: You know, in the first cut, when robin blows a kiss at Marian, he hadn’t realised that was the intent and had him blow one at the Sherriff instead.

AP: It’s a whole new story really.

(as Marian looks annoyed at the kiss from robins)

GK: Ahahaha ! Good face!

AP: Is that an affronted reaction or was that just because your dress was a bit slippery there?

GK: This was fantastic, because we saw (random outlaw) wife and we were like, yeah, don’t know why you’re out and about, you might wanna get back in there mate.

LG: And they were twins, she had a twin sister as well.

GK: And that was the thing, the lads asked her if she had a sister, and she did, she had a twin sister.

Episode three will be next. Charly.

Robin hood Qoutes s1 ep 1

2008-01-04T18:27:06Z

Qoutes from our lovely series. Since IMDB lets me down on this and seeing I have the dvd's I've decided to do some Qoutes. I hope you like em. It's nice to go over them now the second series are done.

Robin Hood qoutage series one, epsiode one.

Guard : Hold him. You know the law

Allan : I know the law is an ass.

Much : Shame on you ! come back here and my master and I will see to it that you will leave with more then just your tails between your legs.

Guard; My master and I… There are only two of them! *turns his horse around*

Much; I shouldn’t have said that. Run robin. Run.

Robin : Five years in battle much and you still forget the last man !

Much: There’s always so much to remember.

Much: in fact, I can feel a song coming up.

Robin: No! No songs. Absolutely no songs!

Much: It would be a cheery song.

Robin: And it would be a tragedy too. A tragedy for you to have survived the Turks, to have made it within a few miles of Locksley and then to be killed by your own master.

Much: you know it is lucky I do not readily take offence! A smaller men would be offended. A smaller men would be wounded.

Robin: And a wiser man would sing fewer songs.

At night after the incident with bigboobed lady and trigger happy cloth merchant.

Much *is looking very cross*: Not saying anything.

Robin: Imitating Much: ‘nemenneh’ and he does a eye roll too.

Robin; Marian. It is me, robin.

Marian: Congratulations. Leave.

Robin: How are you? I’ve thought about you.

Marian: Leave.

Robin: Interesting.

Much: Interesting? That’s unbelievable! They used to threat us like… Like sons.

Robin: She is still unmarried.

Much: That man is a show off. If there are no eggs left, I’m going after him. ( This is one of my favorite lines )

Sherriff: *is laughing diabolically.*

Gizzy: ‘My lord, I do not think this is a laughing matter.

Sherriff: Remind me, how many men do you have ?

Gizzy: *sigh* 24

Sherriff: And he has …

Gizzy: One. But the point is…

Sherrif: But you let him take the house.

Gizzy: Technically it is still his property.

Sherrif: Oh ladiladida. *Again, laughs his ass off.*

Gizzy; I would have appreciated more support in this matter. (said like a housewife over a dispute of the children.)

Sherriff: Relax, relax, I’ll get it back for you within a month.

Gizzy leaves.

Sherriff : ‘twenty-four. One. Mwoehahahaha.’

Robin ; Stop all taxes. Today.

Sherrif: Amusing.

Robin: It’s not a joke. Today is market day, and there is no Market.

Sherriff. … And your point is?

Jailer : ‘Do you mind? We don’t tell ‘em it’s the dangle. They kick up a hell of a stink.

Sherriff: Oh and no second thoughts Locksley or your friend Mulch will be dropping in on us as a special guest today.

Sherriff ‘ May the lord-

Egg-guy: ‘wait’

Sherriff: Aaah, No, no no, please don’t kill my brother, My baby, MY INBRED COUSIN !

Sherriff: Novice Novices? How novel. Hang them and arrest him.

Sherriff : You Locksley will say goodbye to your little friend mulch.

Robin: His name is Much.

Sherriff:Well, he’ll be mulch in a moment.
