(Nan) My sister agrees...and always tries to talk me into joining her when she goes for a pedicure. Have your sister to make an appointment for me at her place and I'll make one for her at mine. Love the slathering in cream part. Heaven! (and I've had foot surgery too)

(Karen) Love the slathering in cream part. Heaven! Oh...ICK! They would have to give me a sedative first ;-p Since we're on the topic of feet, here's something I took down from my wall and scanned just for you guys... Sorry, I can't find my copy of the one on the stairs :-/

(KJArt)(Even if he does look like he was assembled by a committee...)(**Heehee**) ;-) Wot? Colin Frankenstein Firth? :-o (Nan)Sorry, I can't find my copy of the one on the stairs :-/ But you did check the url that Sadie posted a few days ago?

Wow, the beach shot has got to be one of the nicest I've seen. And showing a little ankle no less. Very risque (pretend I know how to make an accent on the 'e' using html). Could the stairs shot be the one I put up as a link, which Gi downloaded? If so, it's the jpg doc. in response 985. Where did this beach shot come from Nan? It's veeery flattering to say the least. Oh dear, I'm having an American Beauty moment again (only, the converse, since I'm younger.) Now wait, before you imagine me in the shower, this was a completely innocent reference. All I meant is that I'm all moony-faced, like Kevin Spacey during the cheerleading. All I can say is: my my my... Although, "mine, mine, mine" would be better!

Hey neat, I crossed postings Gi. Phew, just checked to make sure that I am indeed on the Drool board. But to borrow from the poetic lyricism of Bridget's boss: I'm thinking vanilla and chocolate fudge sundae, I'm thinking holy sand Batman, so let's consecrate it, I'm thinking 'hold me by the ears and call me a Virgin'. I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from. Board is smokin' from mix of electrical and drool overload. She's breaking up, she's breaking up...I cannoo hoold herr mooch lungerr, Captan.

Ya, I know. Lousy Scottish accent. Sorry. Feeling like an actor in MLSF, but without the talent.

Where did this beach shot come from Nan? Harpers...1997,98? I think March.It was taken in Santa Monica and he was about to start shooting ATA ("pardon the expression"). My favorite Nan of all time (next to "on foot?"). ~~~~~~~~~ (Sadie)Oh dear, I'm having an American Beauty moment again LMAO....have to remember that one....a winner, Sadie, thanks.

RAOTFLMAOFLIA - Sadie what can I say except can I have one of whatever you're having??

(Gi) But you did check the url that Sadie posted a few days ago? Now, how did I miss that one. I'll back up and swipe it ;-) (Sadie) Where did this beach shot come from Nan? It's veeery flattering to say the least. Truthfully, I don't remember :-/ Where's Renate? She'll know. She has an amazing memory for those things. She's breaking up, she's breaking up...I cannoo hoold herr mooch lungerr, Captan. LOL! You are definitely a kindred spirit, honey ;-)

Wow, it's so nice to be appreciated for drooling well. This is a total refuge. (well not a total refuge , I can own more than a monk's bowl. And there's no vow of celibacy... right?) (Tracy T)RAOTFLMAOFLIA - Sadie what can I say except can I have one of whatever you're having?? You sure can, Tracy T. It's at response 1002, Nan's famous posting. And we ain't talkin' text. But pleeease, what does RAOTFLMAOFLIA stand for? I need a Drool Acronyms for Dummies Bible! Nan, knew it all along. Who else but a kindred spirit would post such a drool-inspiring photo to begin with? I'm still reduced to 'my,my,my' even now! And you are all aposting and adrooling kindreds! Virtual group hug moment!

(Sadie) (well not a total refuge , I can own more than a monk's bowl. And there's no vow of celibacy... right?) Celibacy! Pffft! Not if I can help it ;-p Nan, knew it all along. Who else but a kindred spirit would post such a drool-inspiring photo to begin with? I'm still reduced to 'my,my,my' even now! And you are all aposting and adrooling kindreds! Virtual group hug moment! Indeed, you've come to the right place. The wetter the better, I say. Everyone is kindred to a certain degree (even those who won't admit it ;-p) but when you use words like "aposting and adrooling" and use a Star Trek reference to make a point, it's almost spooky. Sounds exactly like something I would do. Tell me you like hockey and I'll know we were separated at birth ;-)

So, we weren't exactly separated at birth, Nan. I rarely watch sports. BUT, I have been known to get swept up in a hockey game on occasion, and then, before I know it, I'm yelling and swearing with the best of them. Before there were disappointed Arsenal fans, there were disappointed Leaf Fans.

(Sadie) I have been known to get swept up in a hockey game on occasion, and then, before I know it, I'm yelling and swearing with the best of them. Close enough, m'dear ;-) Before there were disappointed Arsenal fans, there were disappointed Leaf Fans. ...and disappointed Ranger fans *sigh* So, back to the original topic... I was thinking today that maybe we need a little Darcy diversion (preferrably something that has nothing to do with feet ;-p). Anyone have a suggestion? We've each watched P&P a jillion times, talked about every outfit and facial expression, we even laid claim to his possessions. What's left? Maybe a little Darcy poll...not a quiz (what's the point? we all know everything...) but it would be kind of interesting to see an overview of the opinions of Colin fans in general. If anyone has questions you think would be interesting you can let me know and I can whip up a little cgi script for the occasion. I wonder if there is still a cgi-bin though...used to be when we had the chat room at Firth, but with the new server and all...?

Nan, I think it will be fun once BJD is out to compare our Mr. Darcy with MD. Disect, compare and contrast from head to toe. (God, I hope MD has a little ring he plays with). ;-)

Moon -God, I hope MD has a little ring he plays with Erm, I suppose a dangler's too much to hope for ;-P **quiver, faint, crashing noise**

I think we should hold a free-association poll. What random thoughts/daily activities lead people back to thoughts of CF in the course of the day, when they are not on the Board? For example: bought fresh tomatoes. Made me think of Annette Benning's line in The Grifters when she's romping with aweful landlord in lieu of rent. Annette Benning + romping = Valmont = CF. Or this: munched on cookies while watching 60 Minutes. Coooookies. English Ginger Snaps --- CF! (Kinda like that old "Who's on Firth" routine *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*)

Tomatoes make me think of CF in SLoW.

(Sadie) Kinda like that old "Who's on Firth" routine *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* Sure, I remember--Who's on Firth, *WOT?*'s on second...

*lol*

(Eileen) Sure, I remember--Who's on Firth, *WOT?*'s on second... LOL!

test

Sadie: We've designated topic 61 for practice postings and (in advance) no need to apologize. :-)

O.K. Karen, thanks (see, I didn't apologize :-D) I know that poor CF has been thoroughly appreciated and dissected. But, a picture is worth a thousand drooling words. So lookie here, even though you've already seen it, can you deny the beauty of this profile? Or get tired of looking at it?

Damn, Damn, Damn!

Ok. This ought to work!

YESSSSSSSSS!! Never get tird of looking at him...*sigh* Congrats, Dear! You did it!!!

sheesh......never get TIRED.....*bigger sigh* See what he does to me?!

I ask, "with such beauty before you" why settle for Fabio?

Personally, I'd run from Fabio. I never understood the attraction for him.

Especially with a dead seagull sitting on his face. Colin's our poster boy (love that jawline on that DQ photo) and Mr. Darcy can rip my bodice anytime. ;-)

Yes, he's certainly looking, er, archetypical. I think this must be hardwired in our, er, brains. (Or something like that! *loud sudden cackle*)

(Heide) Especially with a dead seagull sitting on his face. ROTFLOL! Personally, I can't read the name Fabio without conjuring the image of those bloody blonde locks post-roller coaster ride. "I caahn't beelieve..."

So we're in agreement on Fabio. What good taste we have! LOL Heide! p.s. Thanks for posting revised story, Gail! When are other legendary drool authoresses going to favour us with some more drool-dripping fan fic? Hmmm? When? We need more Darcy! Get making him! The bodice-ripping sounds most promising, Heide *wink, wink, nudge, extra nudge*

Aha! Gotcha!

Playing hide and seek, are you, ladies? ;-)

Ladies you're not playing fair I thought I was going to take part in Darcy Drool at last.I will have to sulk if I don't.

I will have to sulk if I don't. Ooh, like Darcy sulks while he's watching Lizzie and the Colonel flirting at the piano and he has to sit there listening to his old aunt yammering away. Finally, he just gets up and with a flick of those tails strides purposefully to that little minx. He was well rewarded with playful banter and an eyeful (c'mon, everyone noticed his eyes drop down from her face for just that second). Of course now that I'm writing this, I'm thinking maybe I'm getting "sulking" mixed up with "sultry". That works for me too.

Judy, you musn't wait for anyone else when you feel an urge... Just come here and drool to your heart's content... as you see, people will soon follow! So tell us what precisely you like about Darcy? And is there anything about him that you dislike, perhaps? (Ooooh, I haven't Darcydrooled for far too long...) everyone noticed his eyes drop down from her face for just that second Yes, a masterful take... especially that I'm not really sure she was sitting there when they took his close-ups... you know how films are made, don't you? ;-)

Finnnnnnnnallllly. everyone noticed his eyes drop down from her face for just that second. Yes, a masterful take... especially that I'm not really sure she was sitting there when they took his close-ups... you know how films are made, don't you? Oh yeah, I noticed. Ah c'mon, Arami, don't spoil the illusion! I don't want to know that his eyes dropped down and up again while Mr.Collins was sitting there, waiting for his next scene! And have you noticed Heidi, how his heels hit the floor with a determined manly click, before he flicks his tails? Click and flick, that's all it takes, and I'm lost. *sigh*

Ah c'mon, Arami, don't spoil the illusion! My dear friend, I'd have to change my name and a few other details (e.g. my leopard's spots). In other words, I am the Chief Spoiler Of Illusions in this place. ;-)

Do I remember correctly? You make documentary films? You realize of course, that all of reality is an illusion anyway. There is no escape! I just pick my illusions and run with them. Here's one of my favourites: Darcy looks like Colin Firth, walks like Colin Firth, and talks like Colin Firth. Don't tell me he's really a duck! :-)

(Sadie)Don't tell me he's really a duck! :-) LOL

OK, I won't.

There is, of course, that nasty rumor that CF is really a goose.

Here's a scene that's not a illusion...Bride and groom sitting in the carriage after their wedding. Bride drops her hand down to her new husband's manly thigh. Oops! Quickly removes it but my, what a bold move for a virginal blushing bride to make. Conscious move or unconscious reflex? Could it be that she's noticed those tight sinews for so long and just had to feel the firmness now that it's all legal. Or has she had the pleasure of feeling limb against limb for a bit of time now and is getting used to these quick caresses? ;-) Please don't say that she meant to pat her husband's hand but missed. :-p

Are you going to take a nice cool bath now, Heide? Actually, I felt that Miss Eliza Bennett would have waited until after the wedding to explore certain territories pertaining to the unexplored (to her thus far) geography of Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Tell me Cheryl CF+goose=fantasy have I got the equation right? (Heidi)limb against limb oh god help me!

(Judy) Tell me Cheryl CF+goose=fantasy have I got the equation right? It's really quite mundane in reality, Judy. I sleep with my head on pillow stuffed with goose down, and sometimes CF shows up in my dreams. So that may explain CF+goose=fantasy.

Forgive me for raising such a delicate subject... but is there not some sort of expression like "and then he goosed her?" I could be completely mistaken about this, since I'm so pure. *cackle* Oh Heide, the sinewy limbs did it. You know, you might add a line or two about what happened in the closed carriage. I nevah tire of closed carriage stories! (There are great ones in the drool fic archives, in case anyone has been on another planet.) ...back to the thighs. I bet its all been fairly tame until now. She's probably used to sitting in his lap, while he instructs her in the fine art of kissing. She would have noooo clue what innocently shifting around in his lap can do to a man violently in love. But there was that one occasion...when he suddenly got to his feet and turned his back because, well... and Elizabeth misunderstood, thinking he was displeased rather than too pleased.... But I digress. Back to Heide's delicious reflection: As they leave the church in the open carriage, she caresses his thigh (we all caught her doing it!) and gives him one sexxxy look. But her sexuality is still highly unconscious. She simply craves a kiss. But later, after they have said their goodbyes and are on the road to London, Darcy does not scruple to draw down the shades.... What will happen next? Anyone is welcome to speculate.

(Sadie)I might have Known it was you-goosed her- prodding between buttocks I believe-easier in a carriage I would have thought!

actually I can think of some other way but I would think perhaps not for her first time!

I am all astonishment! But we can be sure that whatever he does, he's going to hang on possessively to her neck.

Sadie But later, after they have said their goodbyes and are on the road to London, Darcy does not scruple to draw down the shades.... What will happen next? Anyone is welcome to speculate. ....Hmm how about - As Darcy drew down the shades of the coach, Elizabeth's heart raced in anticipation. They were finally alone. Neverously she smiled at him in the dim light and with a slight blush bit her full lower lip and met his eyes. Darcy's hands clasped her waist and she found herself drawn onto his lap. "My love," he whisphered, then brought his mouth gently down on hers. The kiss was soft and tender, melting away any hesitancy she might have felt at their new intimacy. His right hand left her waist and moved slowly upward till he reached the top of her dress. His fingers softly caressed the flesh he found there, causing Elizabeth's heart beat harder. His mouth left hers and replaced his fingers. Slowly, ever so slowly he moved his lips across her tender flesh. Nibbling and licking he moisened the skin, pausing to dip his tongue eagerly between the mounds, tasting her as he had yearned to for months. Elizabeth sat with some astonishment upon her husband's lap. The attentions he was performing to her bosom was not at'all what she had expected to occur en route to London. Hesitantly she brought her hand up rest on his head. She weaved her fingers into his silky locks and shuddered. This was pure bliss. Often she had noticed how Fitzwilliam's eyes were drawn to that region of her body, but never had she imagined that his mouth on her flesh would affect her like this. With a groan Darcy pulled himself away from his wife just long enough to draw down her bodice. Elizabeth froze in shock. She reached for the gown, intent on covering herself up, but his hand stilled her own. "You are so beautiful." The words came out hoarsly, as his eyes drank in every bit of her loveliness. Slowly he raised them to meet her gaze. "So very, very beautiful." Their eyes locked for a moment, then wonderous expression appeared on his feature, and he smiled at her with pure joy. Nearly overcome with emotion, Lizzy reached out her hands and cupped his face. Slowly she ran her thumbs over the perfect arch of his brows, then remembering the way his tongue had dipped into her clevage, she extended her own and tasted the dimple on each of his cheeks. His hands captured her face and angled her mouth to meet his. - then the author realized that she really needed to get back to work... :-( oh, and Judy... that last bit was just for you. i figured since i stole it from your wish list, you should at least get credit. :-) Esbee

Esbee, I do not have your email address and I will not get to be with you this time.....alas. I have the California plague and a sore throat and fever and a head full of gremlins... So sorry I could cry.......!

You poor thing! *hugs* Tell iki I said he needs to make you some chicken soup. I will miss not getting to see you, *sniff*. I'm sorry California made you sick... we have been having nasty weather, have we not? Hope you feel better for your flight home tommrow!

Now we're drooling! Thanks Esbee, for such a great continuation of the closed-carriage scenario! Do you know, I was so beside myself, I had to type my name twice to get it right when I logged in! Speaking of drool-worthy scenes, just re-watched The Advocate. I do believe, however, that the video version I just saw was censored by so many seconds, compared to the first time I saw it!

OH ESBEE-'Elizabeths heart beat harder' well mine whizzed round my chest',stopped dead,then somehow re-started itself when I read this scene.WOW When I reached the end to find my 2 wishes included bliss they're even sexier than I'd dreamt. Please don't go back to work you've forgotton his other dimples...

Not wanting to "pull an Arami" ;-), isn't this fan fiction? Marcia, hope you get better soon.

(Sadie) just re-watched The Advocate. I do believe, however, that the video version I just saw was censored by so many seconds, compared to the first time I saw it! Oh yeah, you'll never find the HotPig version in your local Blockbuster's (if you live in the States, that is). And a couple of seconds here and there can make a lot of difference. Whoa, doggie!

(Sadie)censored by so many seconds,compared to the first time I saw it! yes I can see you there stop watch in hand. (Eileen)Whoa,doggie! can you explain to little innocent me*snort*

doggie! is the operative word. ;-) We weren't allowed to see Colin standing up behind that curtain. There were other scenes cut as well like the walk along the river, him signing her butt and other little bits, but the aforementioned bow-wow scene was the one that landed the movie an NC-17 rating, and Miramax (a Disney company) couldn't release it as such or an "unrated," and hired a high-profile attorney to protest the rating. It failed and the movie was cut. And there's that fondling scene that Heide is so fond of... ;-)

Ah fondling and doggie- drooling at its best! I'm obviously lucky to have my copy intact,well-worn but intact nevertheless.

The authorities may have prevailed, but it didn't prevent us from seeing those scenes.

It happened again, but this time it took me 3x to get my ID right! Ah yes, I knew I'd seen more of CF behind the curtain --- or words to that effect! How silly of the censors. Whot, only the missionary is permitted? But, they actually also cut some seconds from that position too! I wonder if we'll ever see CF in new scenes that are that, er, telling? Do you think he would refuse, now that he's respectable and married and all? (Oh the tragic reality of becoming status quo!)

(Sadie)I wonder if we'll ever see CF in new scenes that are that, er, telling? Are you trying to ruin my night?

(Judy)Are you trying to ruin my night? Is it the thought of no more or more , i.e. did it ruin your night with despair, or ruin your night by destroying your concentration? I highly recommend taking a gander back at response #1002. It's an ancient curative measure, known to Chinese herbalists as "dousing with virility". The great thing about chinese medicine (I've been seeing an acupuncturist) is that its all about balance. So if your tongue (they read your tongue, the mirror of your body) is too dry or too moist, it doesn't matter. "Dousing with virility" is guaranteed to fix you up, help you achieve, er, balance.... You see, I have been staring at #1002 for the last half hour. Balance. Excuse me. I really have to run upstairs for awhile now...

well It was of because no more.but now you mentioned it(& I have been to bed since I posted that) I've definitely lost concentration to the point that I'm not sure what I'm talking about!! I've made a note of that post 1002 & will definitely check it out

Any one in your house wonder at the furious running up and down stairs?

All fast asleep although my furious typing maybe disturbing their conscious.Its 9.30am here what about you?

It's the middle of the night! I tried to post again at Odds & Ends, but got an error message for posting too much. Oh well. Perhaps on that note, I better get some sleep. It's been fun talking to you! Goodnight/morning.

Good night Sadie its been fun I've feel like I've run a mile chasing after you!I've not even checked out the other topics yet so I'll do that while you're in theland of nod.

SADIE HURRY UP AND WAKE UP where am I looking for 1002? MY tongue always seems to be wet these days what does that mean about me? I think I know the problem with 127 we've reached 1999 KAREN HELP

Esbee, you just love to tantalize. There's been so much of that around here lately and I do enjoy joining the fray. I thought I'd do a little research for you girls and check out the size of those sideburns being paraded around in P&P. Ladies, Mr. Bennet wins handsdown. Mrs. Bennet certainly had a handful at one time. Now Colonel Fitzwilliam's and Wickham's are rather long too but barely thick enough to hold onto, not a lot of substance Mr. Hurst's aren't that long, just wide in a triangular shap, sort of indicative of his own body shape. Poor Mr. Bingley's are rather short and stubby, kind of comma shaped. I'm afraid his look only half grown, not quite reaching a satisfactory level of maturity. Mr. Collins has no sideburns to speak of at all. What a relief for Charlotte. Our Mr. Darcy's are long but end in an L-shape. Make of this whatever you will.

(Judy) SADIE HURRY UP AND WAKE UP where am I looking for 1002? Sorry Judy, scroll back to message #1002 on this very board. MY tongue always seems to be wet these days what does that mean about me? I do believe that it's a symptom of DROOLING! I think I know the problem with 127 we've reached 1999 KAREN HELP You are so right! I must have been severely sleep deprived not to notice last night! Funny how I still had energy to scroll & drool, scroll & drool.

LMAO Heide! (Heide) Ladies, Mr. Bennet wins handsdown. Mrs. Bennet certainly had a handful at one time. It's always the bookish ones who surprise you. Now Colonel Fitzwilliam's and Wickham's are rather long too but barely thick enough to hold onto, not a lot of substance. Not surprised about Wickham, but how could this be about Colonel Studmuffin? Mr. Hurst's aren't that long, just wide in a triangular shap, sort of indicative of his own body shape. Let's not go there! Poor Mr. Bingley's are rather short and stubby, kind of comma shaped. I'm afraid his look only half grown, not quite reaching a satisfactory level of maturity. But think how much energy his sideburns will have! Mr. Collins has no sideburns to speak of at all. What a relief for Charlotte. Judging from the way he simpers, sideburns are not all he's missing. He clearly has no jaws (as in stubble) --- both sides. Our Mr. Darcy's are long but end in an L-shape. Make of this whatever you will. Are you saying that Mr. Darcy's are not well hung?

Aha I'm finally allowed back in I was getting paranoid for a while there. Sadie finally managed to find 1002,love that pic went and found my larger one to look in more detail.I love that grin and those feet and as for slathering(is that a real word?) with cream, well leave the cream off for me, some people like it as it comes! Colonel Studmuffin? tell me you're joking. Heidi great research project on sideburns but you're all missing the point with Darcy's L shaped ones,don't you know what L stands for?-lust,lickable,length, liquefy shall I go on?

(Heide) Ladies, Mr. Bennet wins handsdown. Mrs. Bennet certainly had a handful at one time. (Sadie)It's always the bookish ones who surprise you. This of course begs the question; just what type of books has Mr. Bennet been reading? *giggle* (Heide) Our Mr. Darcy's are long but end in an L-shape. Make of this whatever you will. (Sadie) Are you saying that Mr. Darcy's are not well hung? *GASP* Surely not! ;-0

(Judy)went and found my larger one to look in more detail AM green with envy! Where did you get it? Colonel Studmuffin? tell me you're joking Yes actually, I am. But if you check out fan-fic at Pemberley, you'll notice that the Dwiggies have this running gag. Am crossing virtual worlds so much, I know not where I am. Heidi great research project on sideburns but you're all missing the point with Darcy's L shaped ones,don't you know what L stands for?-lust,lickable,length, liquefy shall I go on? Yes do go on! (Esbee)This of course begs the question; just what type of books has Mr. Bennet been reading? *giggle* Sexactly! (Refer to fanfic board if confused by this reference)

...lecherous,licentious,lewd Its just the picture out of the magazine,full page yummy.talking of which am relieved about the studmuffin, wouldn't want you nibbling the wrong sort

Which mag, Judy? I live such a sheltered life. Or, at least I did til I came here!

Unfortunately I've not kept full mag just the pretty picture.Although there is a smaller one in Harpers at time of FP.

Oh well, thanks for info on Harpers. I shall just have to keep returning to the little scanned one. :-( Why am I ( ? That is certainly satisfying enough :-)

Do you have a list of favourite posts that you go back to re-drool over?

So far just that one. It was my definitive moment as a drooler. I still think its one of the nicest photos I've ever seen of CF. Of course, there are other nice shots on other sites. What about you? What's you're all-time fave photo? And this applies to anyone else out there who wishes to join in! BTW, it would be a real treat if you posted it while saying why it's your fave!

Oh what a question off the top of my head I loved the one of him as Darcy that RT mag produced as a poster(its also up in the shop at Lyme Park) a while back he looked so perfect.There's another one of him,I think he's in DQ mode,all in black sat down hands clasped but I'm not sure if I've seen it posted anywhere.For the other photos I will go thro' all my CF stuff yes,yes!

A woman's got to do, what a woman's got to do!

(SadieR) I wonder if we'll ever see CF in new scenes that are that, er, telling? Do you think he would refuse, now that he's respectable and married and all? (Oh the tragic reality of becoming status quo!) You're no doubt right. We shall never see the like of CF in that sort of scene again. Still, he has been working out -- so who knows.

Sadie: What's you're all-time fave photo? And this applies to anyone else out there who wishes to join in! BTW, it would be a real treat if you posted it while saying why it's your fave! It's been a while since I posted here last ;-) My all time favourite Darcy photo is IBM (I hope you can recognize the name ;-)) Why? Because it's not only shown Darcy's haughty, aloof side but also shown mix of mocking, mischievous and even a slight gallant. It is the most complex expression on one single handsome face I've ever seen. *big sigh*

(Sadie) Are you saying that Mr. Darcy's are not well hung? Not possible, no nevah!!!

(Xian)My all time favourite Darcy photo is IBM (I hope you can recognize the name ;-)) Brain is clearly not working. What is that they say about the sympathetic vs. the parasympathetic systems? Please tell me more! (Cheryl) Still, he has been working out -- so who knows. Oh for another Hotpig type script now!

Yes Sadie I am lucky to know the area well I spent most of my childhood holidays there.Even luckier I onlylive about 6 miles from Lyme. (Cheryl) Still,he has been working out-oh I can just imagine it,I would love to towel him down.

Took me a while, but didn't IBM stand for Ideal Breeding Material? But can't for the life of me remember the pic... am obviously not functioning on all gears :-(

You're not alone Karen ;-(( As to my fave Darcy pic, it'd have to be the 'Pemberley Look'.....makes me go all unnecessary just thinking about it *sigh*

'all unnecessary' I like that, however it makes me getall undressed. Another of my favourite looks is when he goes to Longbourn for the first time & Lizzy is pretending to sew,he's stood at the window & he keeps glancing across at her,it melts me everytime.

Hmmm....I'd forgotten that one! Ah but what about the look he shoots her out of his 'bathroom' window when he's all drippy and dishevelled (drippy in a wet sense not in a weedy one ;-D)...*gulp*

OH GOD yes that neck yummy I would love a nibble and then slowly taking his robe off...

...it is amazing the effect that the damp Darcy has on us all, whether it be white shirt or robe clad. ;-}~~~~~ I cannot somehow imagine a soggy Collins would get our hearts a fluttering, a wet Wickham wouldn't do much for me either.

What about a wet Willy then?
