Andie: You watching Sunday on Ch 7?? Downton Abbey story about to air!
Me: Yes! Thank you!
Me: Am taping it too so I can watch it over n over again 
Andie: You are a tragic!!
Me: No tragic is the fact I got my autographed pic of Branson!
Andie: Oh yes that is tragic… More importantly what have you done with the picture?
Me: Hidden it at the top of the wardrobe coz of Mr Moi found it he’d be all like ‘WTFFFFFFFFF?!’ 
Andie: That is hilarious
Me: And then I’d have to tell him abt how I gave my address to someone on twitter who sent a fangirl christmas card to him on behalf of an Irishwoman, a Mexican, an Israeli, a Scouser, a Korean and myself.
Me: And he would tell me that that is so far fetched and accuse me of writing him a fanmail directly…
….
Me: And then I’d lose my street cred.
Andie: Oh the tangled web… All for an Edwardian drama!
Me: But it’s DOWNTON!
Me: Hey I got tweeted by HughBon last night
Andie: Ok… Is that mr bates?
Me: No! Lord G! We’re on first letter basis!
Andie: Again… That is brilliant
Me: I’m so sad aren’t I. (Note no use of q mark as it was a statement not a question)
Andie: Not at all!!! Let’s face it. Tweets ARE the new fan letters that we all sent to Bros in the 80s.

And there you have it – I know someone who wrote a fan mail to BROS in the 80s!
Oh I die of laughter.
Hey *wave*, I lost track of you when you moved to wordpress.
I too have the Downton fever. I heard everyone go on about it. Got the first boxset from the library last week and now I am hooked. It is fab!
Apparently I am the last person on this planet to have watched Downtown Abbey. I have it in my queue so I’d better start watching so I know what everyone is talking about!
