You lucky git.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

surely this should have been a Mark C thread. Mind you perhaps it was Barry Lasagne himself who sent it to woo you.

It's a horrible picture, its clearly at least five years old and he has a couple too many buttons undone on his shirt and I'm *sure* some of his chest hair has been Photoshopped out.

It says "To Matt - thanx 4 being a fan" and is signed Bario Evani.

Someone really loves you, Matt DC.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

that's what you get for stalking eastenders stars, i guess.

Miss Marianna, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I also got a Christmas card with a picture of Michael Howard on it! It has him leering and holding a pint of Spitfire aloft, and on the inside, it says "dear Matt, Christmas is a wonderful excuse to avoid associating myself with disgusting plebs like you, love Michael."

I sure hope no one who's buying me anything sees this.

Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 19 December 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddammit, Bryan, just spoil Xmas for yourself, why don't you.

Colonooscopies for everyone! Nothing says 'I love you' like a camera on a stick being crammed up your heiney!

This is the thread where I tell this story:

For a while, about two or three years ago, once a month I'd receive an anonymous package, posted from Los Angeles. It would come without fail, for about six months.

Inside? Various photographs of Harrison Ford.

I still haven't figured out what that was about.

Allyzay, Friday, 19 December 2003 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

He was probably stalking you, the old lech.

That reminds me, my friend lives two doors down from Kat Slater. I'm assured that she does indeed actually wear that much make up in person.

I am disappointed that I have not yet received an advent calendar full of pictures of Thora Hird.

Have you got a birthday coming up? Is that a hint?

Was Pat only 3 foot tall when she married Roy?

JTS (JTS), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 18:13 (twenty years ago)
