You actually have a crush on Capt. Black??

Oh well, I guess he's not such a bad guy.......for a villain! *bracing for some boos & hisses!*

He's isn't too bad looking either. (When he's wearing his black leather jacket & shades.)

I guess i deserved his comment... but we got a glimpse of what he's like (in NCS)... and in OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES i would probably like him more than Scarlet *winces* (bleep!)

... what a shame :cry:

I think I must be a sucker for the bad guys... i'm not mentioning any films/cartoons/etc. though.

You read all the fan fiction about CS (OCS & NCS) whether they are purely CS or cross-overs.

Thats probably just me then :wink:

Not quite MMK - I've been there and done that O-beer-O

Have to admit, not all at one sitting though :D

Yes me too, well it's a work in progress anyway. I also end up re-read ones that I really like.

Then of course I'm writing my own stories too. For the 3 seperate story challenges I've signed up for ... which makes for 137 fics in total.
Well it seemed like a good idea at the time, lol.

Yeah Sage, goes like this;

1) When you find that you have " substituted" the posters you had of all the popular OCS characters on your bedroom wall in 1968, with a downloaded NCS poster, as computer " wallpaper ", nearly forty years later.

2) When you are more excited about the new show than your grandchild and find that it brings back all the good emotions about the previous series.

3) When you are both horrified and ashamed to find a computer generated image sexy ( I'm thinking of some of the scenes in Best of Enemies here, and I'm even more ashamed to say that Capt Black is included in that definition.) Suppose it takes menopausal to new depths.

4) When you start to mentally categorise every new song as a potential theme tune, or background for a possible live version of Spectrum ( please, please, let someone like Jerry Bruckheimer or David E Kelley think this is a good idea ).

Didn't name my son Adam, or Paul , but he was named after a character in " The Champions " ( just a pity that wasn't a G Anderson production ) ! Having said that, he only ever wanted to be Michael Knight, so there you go.....

Just call me dumbo. I realise I was replying to a message posted ages ago. So sorry if it didn't make any sense !

Many topics have been started a long time ago and are still open - and STILL there are posts added to them once in a while! That makes it interesting!

So, no, you're not a dumbo, quite the contrary!

Or there will be A LOT of people in your company! :wink:

Yeah, I'm one of them...
Good threads go on forever, anyway...

I know I'm a sad person cos when I was on holiday in Provence, France, I got a secret thrill when I discovered an ochre mine, and a Rue Magenta.......

My response to this is this: my 2nd (and probably not my last) response to Elentari's very long list which a lot of thought has obviously gone into it, I am definitely obsessed as I fit PERFECTLY into the READ and LIVE categories.

That doesn't worry anyone does it? (if I was someone else's shoes, I'd be getting worried... concerned at least).

I'm talking a load of rubbish now :oops:

Have you got the t-shirt as well :wink:

Now there's another thing to add to a list:

(cgi_logo)

...You get pictures and print them out and transfer them onto your clothing
:angel)

Don't think anyone else has come up with that... have they?

MMK asked:

- errmmm, yes. :oops:

Well, I have a pale-blue Tee shirt with a transfer of Captain Blue's face on it. And if I ever fit it, I shall wear it every day!

It's this picture:

and not content with the Tee-shirt, I also have - courtesy of a like-minded (?) friend - coffee mugs with assorted pics of The Captain on, a mousemat and fridge magnets, several talking dollies and... a cast of the puppet's head.
I think I win the 'Obsession' Cup :-D

Wow ... yeah I think we have a winner, lol
That is very cool

by **MMK** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 2:47 pm

(Note to self: choose a character and transfer their picture onto t-shirts)

Is this good enough??

Thanks for being kind, folks and yes, I do think Marion wins the "Obsession, but with Bravery" Award. ( Although I must admit, tee-shirts hadn't occurred to me...)

by **Marion** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:36 am

Well, it is - as yet - an unworn Tee-shirt. My daughter flatly refused to wear it on a day out to meet up with fellow Scarletinis in London.
Ungrateful child... :wink:

I know....I was desperately LOOKING for that Tee-shirt on the Reading Station Platform when I was trying to find you for our first time face-to-face meeting!!
