Family

Well, they might show it again while you're here!!!

It is a very good episode!

You can tell Nick is trying to deal with all the memories that Liz's illness is dragging up, as is Burton, and Liz for that matter.

[Hales]

Poor Nick, Burton and Liz! :bawling: *sniff*

So is there any cute Burton/Nick scenes that stand out? *heart already melting over the fatherly concern for Nick*

*shaking her head* I need to see a psychiatrist!

VERY COOL .. :cool:

"A room for Nick" ... :clapping:  I always heard that and wondered what sort of context it was in.


(they say this part together) "a room for Nick."  .. :drool:

So what eventually happens to Jeremy and his debts ?

[mb20]

Isn't it nice to be able to stay on as long as you like in the US without it affecting the bill!

Aww shaddup  :razz:  :crying:

South Africa is primitive like that ..  No actually the phone company here is Telkom and they are one big rip off.  Their rates are unbelievable.  It's one big monopoly so they can do whatever they want to us .. :crying:
The phone rates were extraordinary last year, and if that wasn't bad enough .. they more than doubled the rates this year  :shocked:

So yeah .. that's why I try not to spend too much time online.  Apart from the internet, my brother lives on the phone, so my parents explode around the 30th of each month .. :clapping:

There is also no system in place where you pay a fixed amount and use the phone and/or internet as much as you want.  Is that how phone companies in the US work ?     Here you pay for every 3 or 6 minutes that you're online  (depending on the time of day).

South Africa isn't the only place to charge like that--it's that way in Britain, too.

Here, we just pay a flat rate each month for unlimited service. However, there is an additional per-minute charge for calls outside your area (aka long-distance calls).

We are never told what happens with Jeremy, other than the fact that he now has to attend the local public school. In typical DH fashion, much is left up in the air.

[mb20]

It's not completely that way in Britain .. :crying:  Someone I spoke to said they have unmetered access too .. except if you go over 12 hours a day .. umm, I think  :bawling:

[mb20]

13 minutes to go ... :happysmile:

[Hales]

Have fun watching it and tell me everything... okay maybe not everything but the Burton/Nick parts etc. :lol:

and then if you feel up to it you can still tell me everything *shrug* :biggrin:

(although I'm leaving soon, Mum and I are going shopping... but I'll be back!)

[mb20]

LOL .. :razz:

I had lots of fun watching it  :happysmile:

Actually it was over too soon .. in like 2 minutes.  That's always my problem with TG  

Jeremy was sort of cute .. in a Jeremy sort of way  ;D  <br>
The Nick/Burton parts were GREAT.  Esp. the one at the end, with everyone sitting in the hospital room.  Nick looked so freakin studly .. Oh My Gawd.  <br>
I also liked the way STudly Nick handled Jeremy in certain parts  


ALL about the Nick-Burton scenes .. well, they weren't very tense, as they usually are.  They were just umm .. there.  <br>
Ok .. I know that's not enough, I just can't think of anything else to say  :lol:
The first time I watch TG, it never really sinks in .. I have to watch it twice (at least)  :happysmile:

[Hales]

LOL... I get most of it the first time I watch, but there are some occasions where I have to figure out what they say again.

So Studly Nick was back with avengeance! :biggrin:  Vulnerable Nick?  Lovable Nick?

So we have friendly Burton/Nick scenes.... hmmm, I like those as well... :happysmile:

[mb20]

:wave:

I'm going to watch it again in the morning .. :grinyes:

*will report back to Miss Hales tonight* :happysmile:

[mb20]

Yeah, I usually figure out 95% of what they say the first time I watch .. just that, Nick's face usually gets in the way ... so I have to watch it a few more times to really get it into my head.  :happysmile:

[Hales]

LOL I didn't realise that Nick's head was that big :biggrin:

*jumps up and down* I saw a preview for The Guardian!! :grinyes:

[spunkymungbeans]

Hi Hales.  I thought I'd try my first post here. ;D  I notice you are a fellow Aussie - obviously looking forward to Family tonight.  I thought I'd risk drowning in drool and say hello.

I just started up my login today here.  For some insane reason my profile has recorded me as a law student (which I'm not).  Can't work out how to change it.  

Look forward to your comments on Family later.

Cheers

Hi Leonie!

Welcome!!  ;D Just so you know, GB (our abbreviation for GillyBear) has different levels assigned according to the number of posts you've made to the board. I can't remember the exact breakdown, but it's something like until you've made a certain number of posts you're a law student, then you become a junior associate, then senior associate, partner, etc.  

And don't worry--we keep the mops and buckets handy for the :drool:!
