Marcia, thanks a bundle for the parka! I�m in *love* with it. Thinking daily about the soft fabric of it and the white fur in the hood that brushed our necks during the photo sessions. And about the one who puts it on to keep his lovely body warm in the cold breezes of London.

*S W O O N * How you describe it makes my knees weak and I am sitting down. Imbed that in your memory so it is never far from you...*sigh* I am so happy for you, Elena! There should be a star on your front door, as well!

I can't believe no one has claimed the khaki pants and white (er...a....sort-of) trainers ,(which he wore for three days) . Black tee(Saturday), and navy pulley with grey tee) Friday...

Sheesh...and these are real life thing of his? How could they be languishing unclaimed? Ladies???!!!

I would like the pink glasses through those brown eyes are looking. Please

OK Lucie, it is yours If I can have the Navy Wooly Pully Firth's Real Life Keepsakes Yellow and black striped necktie worn to London Premier of SIL, AllisonM Leather Jacket he is wearing at the DonMar autograph signing, Esbee The boyish green parka trimmed with rabbit fur he wore to the 3DoR autograph session, Elena His wedding ring, Moon His dark-franed pink glasses, Lucie His Navy Wooly Pullover sweater, Marcia

(Marcia)How could they be languishing unclaimed? They can�t. Marcia, can I claim those blue jeans he wore on Friday 14th? I just realized that I�ve been having a secret passion for them ever since I caught a glimpse of them!

Wasn't he wearing the same pants Thursday, Friday and Saturday? The dark khaki army pants?

I don't begrudge anyone any little virtual piece of Colin but I sure would like to read why each of you chose your items.

I told you, that parka was never green. Why won't you listen? And the pants he was wearing on Thursday looked a lightish colour to me. Grey - maybe khaki. Soft, loose, very casual, but hardly army style. More like something you'd wear to paint the garden fence in. On Thursday he wasn't screened by such a dense crowd as on Friday and Saturday, so it was possible to see his whole figure. His dark navy (or black?) trainers (sports shoes) with white soles looked spotless and brand new and clashed with those sad pants... If no one wants them, I'll have them for now. I can always trade them later for something else. (Why don't we have trade-ins, swops and Colin keepsake fairs?) ;-)

Having just immersed myself in images of CF wearing this jacket with fur trim, I will change the color to blue on the list. It does not photograph any shade of green I know about - that is dark blue. Elena, we are supposed to be able to claim only one item from each happeningm, movie, play or on the live list. Anyone??? Shall we amend the rules? OK Arami, do you want his new trainers (runners, shoes) or those sad baggy pants?

"Both, I imagine...!" (I.e., I was thinking of the sad pants, primarily... I'm not really a foot woman ;-) but I will take care of the trainers too, if no one else wants them...)

Until we settle the matter of double items in the same category I will let you be keep-mistress of his sad pants. (I guess they give new meaning to the term Fatigues...)

dark khaki army pants? Arami, when we say "dark khaki army pants", we are describing the color not the style. There are different shades of khaki. ~~~~~~ Jacket definitely navy blue (not necessarily the style they wear in the navy ;-) We too saw him on T. F.& S. Thursday at Starbucks.I thought the trousers were the same all three days. Although when I saw him in November, he was wearing the dark beige(or light khaki ) pants with the suede(light khaki) jacket he wore in the protest march with paper chain around his neck. Both baggy -style.Comfy. Saturday's trainers were white. I was standing behind him and could take it all in.

(Evelyn)I was standing behind him and could take it all in. Be still my heart...how did you keep from getting the woozies from the very proximity? Or, are you immune from all that by now?! *sigh*

Guess that's why you keep going back. To get your anti-woozies immunity updated by being around him so much you are blase' about it all. Is that possible?!

...did you keep from getting the woozies from the very proximity? One does get a little woozie ...and one tends to walk around in an amnesiac stage afterwards.But it all comes back vividly.

Fortunately for us, it comes back to you vividly. We can do just about everything but taste him from your descriptions and pictures. And, for that, we are most grateful.

when we say "dark khaki army pants", we are describing the color not the style. There are different shades of khaki. My dear friend, I do apologize! When I see a phrase "dark khaki army...[something]", I invariably tend to visualise "dark khaki" as a description of a colour; and "army" as an attributive to the following noun. I am still a little confused, though, because if we were to list colours, then "dark khaki army" doesn't invoke a vision of one... ;-) Jacket definitely navy blue (not necessarily the style they wear in the navy ;-) Aha. "Navy blue"... so, correspondingly, "army khaki"... no? ;-) But "dark army khaki" might perhaps imply a shady force of sorts... (Are we in the right topic for this?) Saturday's trainers were white. I was standing behind him and could take it all in. And I have it all on my video...

And I have it all on my video... OMG WTG ARAMI!

(Elena)Marcia, can I claim those blue jeans he wore on Friday 14th? (Karen)Wasn't he wearing the same pants Thursday, Friday and Saturday? The dark khaki army pants? Well, it COULD be khaki instead of blue jeans. Maybe I should just shut up about his clothes from now on, it�s clear that all I could do was to stare at his divine face and eyes and mouth and hair and didn�t pay that much attention to the details of his clothing. Hi Donna!

(Elena) it�s clear that all I could do was to stare at his divine face I never once glanced down at his shoes. He could've been barefoot in the lobby for all I know. ;-)

(Arami)On Thursday (...) His dark navy (or black?) trainers (sports shoes) with white soles looked spotless and brand new and clashed with those sad pants... (Evelyn)Saturday's trainers were white. I'm glad he at least changed his shoes :-) and hope he changes his underwear as well... Marcia, the rules as they were (one item per movie per person, no body parts except the dimple) were quite reasonable IMO... It leaves room for newcomers to claim previously unclaimed items. But I like Arami's idea of trade-ins, swops and Colin keepsake fairs?

WELCOME DONNA

Indeed, that idea of FirthFair sounds great providing we can figure out how to run it. Anyone care to try it out? E Komo Mai! Donna

OMG WTG ARAMI! Are you swearing at me? ;-) that idea of FirthFair sounds great providing we can figure out how to run it. Everyone should be allowed to "own" only one "main" item per event; In addition, "secondary" items should be allowed to be claimed and held temporarily by everyone: these items should be listed separately and always offered (available) for sale/transfer/swop/exchange; Newcomers may claim "unclaimed" items only; And then swaps/trade-ins etc may take place openly, here, at any time, by means of addressing one another on the subject... Special pleas will be made... and if someone persistently refuses to swap, there should be appeals and judgements... What fun!

I think I'm gonna need your grit if it comes to leveraging stuff out of the tight fists of the greedy. Sounds like a really great way to reinvigorate this sometimes-sluggish topic!

We should start with appointing the judge, the jury, the appeal court, and the executioner.

*grin* I'm not gonna touch that with a ten foot length of wood rounded on the edges and sooth all around. (Am I being politically correct, or what ?!)

May I choose my Advocate? ;-)

(Arami) and if someone persistently refuses to swap, there should be appeals and judgements. Let me make myself perfectly clear, as Tricky Dick used to say. No one gets Tommy Judd's bathrobe until you rip it off my cold, dead back.

There's only so much one can hold on to, dear. ;-)

Oh My! It is good to see Visceral Drool is back and thriving as well as is intellectual and virtual Drool. But, unseemly fighting over such lovely keepsakes cannot benefit their owner. Imagine the shame of having to return them for his use all in shreads and tatters?!

A wandering bathrobe I, a thing of shreds and patches??

ROTFLOL!!!

Hmmm, someone must have just seen Topsy-Turvy! ;-) "I'll put it on my list"

First time 113-er here..I've been lurking for a while enjoying it all! I wish to register my sacred raincoat and Pilot rollerball as a keepy in the "Items touched by CF Kept by Owners" category But could I also put dibs on Paul's Arsenal Football Shirt from Fever Pitch or am I being too greedy???

You are allowed one item on each list. We have lists for everything, actually, and if we don't have one for the item you want, we'll start one! Items touched by CF Kept by Owners Cross Pen used to sign autograph, Evelyn The Trenchcoat through which He Hugged Her, Heide The Pen with which he signed his autograph for her, Elena Her Right hand which He Shook Hands, Winter Black Uniball Pen He used to sign Heide's Program, Heide My Heart , EsBee Pen used by CF to sign her program, Arami Her program from 3DoR which he pressed as he signed his autograph, Arami Ballpen #2 He used to sign her poster and touched her hand returning it AND the poster, Arami Her sacred raincoat she wore as he put his arm around her and Pilot rollerball he used for autograph, Tracy Firth Items from FEVER PITCH Paul Ashworth's grey undies from Fever Pitch, Marcia Paul Ashworth's Wrist Watch from Fever Pitch, Elena Paul's Arsenel Boxer Shorts from Fever Pitch, Stacey Paul Ashworth's Leather Jacket from Fever Pitch, Karen Paul Ashworth's Official's whistle from Fever Pitch, Heide Paul's Arsenal Football Shirt from Fever Pitch, Tracy

I will defend Richard Courtois's red wine stained shirt from "The Advocate". I keep packed in lavender (very Provencal) in the archives of my mine. Anyway, I'm working on my poem to the aforementioned garment. What can I say, I'm verbose and the poem is going to be too long. So be warned I shall be posting it here. Eventually. If anyone was wondering why lavender can be Provencal, it's one of the ingredients in "herbs de Provence". Without the lavender it would be Italian seasonings.

Now, ladies, time to write our little essays or poems of praise to our new keepsakes, as Arami reminded us...=) Me, too...!

Does anybody know the words to "Wolly Bully"...I think I'm gonna need them!

I have a big blue sweater that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of it is more than I can see...

Your Marcianess!!! We've started a new list of items from Peter in Relative Values. So far, this is what's been claimed: 1. His limp wrist - Karen 2. His Campshirt, yellow cravat, Judy Garland record collection, and autographed photo of Montgomery Clift - Mari

3. His plane tickets to the annual Greenwich Village Halloween parade - Eileen

OK List at the ready..... Keepsakes from Relative Values 1. His limp wrist - Karen 2. His Campshirt, yellow cravat, Judy Garland record collection, and autographed photo of Montgomery Clift - Mari 3. His plane tickets to the annual Greenwich Village Halloween parade - Eileen Limp wrist, Karen?! Like he is a little light in the loafers??? Eeek!!

Oooweee! You catch on quick. BTW, make sure you order Starz in October when RV will be broadcast. Did you want the tasseled loafers? ;-)

Oh my yes!!! Gotta go with them since you got the limp wrist!!! Thanks... Keepsakes from Relative Values 1. His limp wrist - Karen 2. His Campshirt, yellow cravat, Judy Garland record collection, and autographed photo of Montgomery Clift - Mari 3. His plane tickets to the annual Greenwich Village Halloween parade - Eileen 4. His Tassled Loafers - Marcia

I guess claiming his Bette Midler record collection would be from the wrong era so how about his George Cukor pool party pass?

How about his tickets to the Provincetown Playhouse season?

You are claiming these items for the "official List"....or merely suggesting??!!

Just teasing. Shall be more serious after I actually see the film. Perhaps he uses a cigarette holder. I would covet that. ;-)

.....or personal jewelry...

Am sensing a pattern here. Peter's cigarette holder (if any). Paul's whistle. Hmm, things Colin puts his lips around. Is this new category on that pyramid game show?? Or perhaps, one "keepsake" literary effort fits all? ;-)

Oh my dear.....what a thought. Something of his I'd like to be??!!

um...the Sporran is MINE !!!

It's all wrong. No sporran in RV, surely? And his limp wrist shouldn't be allowed. There was only one exception made regarding his body parts in this topic and if you break it again, then he'll be shredded into several hundred very fine strips. In which case can I claim his limp lips before anyone else does? And talking about cases, I don't recall a cigarette holder, but there was a silver cig case and I also claim that - just in case... ;-)

The Sporran was for the "list of things I'd like to be" ....I'd like to be his Sporran in MLSF. Shall I draw you a picture? Surely not....;)

No limp body part, I beg you....or else I claim pride of place and um... better not do that.

(MarciaH)No limp body part, I beg you.... If limp parts are allowed, others not so limp will be claimed too ;-)

Well, yes...I should certainly have been more inclusive, Dear. This topic is fraught with pitholes and dangers at every turn...sigh! Nothing he arrived on earth with at birth shall be allowed. (Nothing I can think of has been added...)

Oh drat! And I wanted his adnoids.

I shall await Karen's reply to all this with interest. A wrist is a body part, surely? I expect raised voices and stamping. ;-) Cheryl, it is likely that his adenoids had been had by someone else long before we Droolers invented this game.

You're no doubt right, Arami. Rats, I knew I'd spelled adenoids incorrectly. I suppose tonsils are pretty much a no go as well.

LMAO ,Karen. (Pun intended!)

Oh my!!! Vapours hitting me....*giggle* What a hoot!

Just as I thought... no decorum... ;-)

Would this satisfy your need for decorum? ;-) (am still looking for animated shuttlecock!!)

Surely, this belongs to Darcy Drool? (Sigh...) And even though that gentleman wasn't himself very animated, I'm sure his shuttlecock was.

You had to say it. Actually, you beat me to it *sigh*

What is a shuttlecock? Sounds like a very animated anatomical part ;-)

What is a shuttlecock? A serial adulterer;-)

LOL!!

goes with a battledore...which sound more scary. *lol* There are lots of virtual shuttlecocks on the web according to that definition!

Arami I would give up any hope of decorum,after reading the last few posts you are definitely losing the battle.Is it a case of if you can't beat them join them? (Evelyn)A serial adulterer-thats a killer! It seems to be all balls and shuttlecocks at the moment,ah well it helps us to keep fit.

(Judy)It seems to be all balls and shuttlecocks at the moment,ah well it helps us to keep fit. Judy...it's #129 you should be at...that's where the ballgame takes place;-) This board just inventories the equipment.

Apologies if you think I'm in the wrong place but I am only commenting on previous posts.

(Judy)Apologies if you think I'm in the wrong place but I am only commenting on previous posts. No apologies...pl...(see the winkie ;-) ?? It's just that some folks only go to 129...and we don't want anybody to miss out on the fun;-)

some folks only go to 129...and we don't want anybody to miss out on the fun Indeedy, they're obviously not keeping their wits about them, unlike us. It's been like hide n seek here lately, but we can't be shaken off that easily ;-D On the keepy front, have the former keeptresses (myself included) now forfeited their rights to the sacred artefacts in view of the lack of activity here? Or are those valuables still locked safely in our respective hidey-holes!

Beg your pardon, Tracey Dear, but this lady, Keepstress in chief and Marcianess of ... You betcha I keep an eye out for the neglect of the scared objects.

Tracy what you hiding in your hole? I'm going to read through the old posts to see if there is anything left(just so I've got a legitimate reason for being here:-D)

Marcia -You betcha I keep an eye out for the neglect of the scared objects. I was just hoping (sadly in vain)that there'd be a chance of snapping up a few neglected bargains! ....Soggy Darcy Shirt *swoon* ??? DANGLER *sigh*? ....No? Oh well I shall have to content myself with my own keepies.

Judy -Tracy what you hiding in your hole? What a question to ask a lady ;-o If my memory serves I have Paul's Arsenal Shirt from Fever Pitch and a couple of items in the Items Touched by CF, kept by the owners category...all are in pristine condition but am aware that I should be composing an ode or something witty to validate my keeptressdom. Gah!

(Judy) Tracy what you hiding in your hole? Is it larger than a bread box? ;-) (Judy) I'm going to read through the old posts to see if there is anything left (just so I've got a legitimate reason for being here:-D) Good thing! We might shoo you off for loitering. ;-)

(Marcia) You betcha I keep an eye out for the neglect of the scared objects. Wot?! Are we mistresses so frightening? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I wondered about that as well...but lest anyone think they can poach ... judt let them try.

I want to lay claim early to Mark Darcy's turtleneck sweater (? jumper in UK?) Too yummy for words!!! ;-) KJ

Polo neck.

I claim Mark Darcy's fugly sweater. I love that reindeer. I can't imagine why BJ didn't fall for him immediately.

I would also like his barrister's collar. I have to say that on most barristers they are someting of a turn off, but the thought of how snuggly it sits around his neck;-) Am I being greedy?

When I saw the posts to this topic, I just knew someone was after the reindeer sweater. ;-D

(Allison)I love that reindeer. I can't imagine why BJ didn't fall for him immediately. ROTF...Good for you Allison! We can all rest assured that it's in good hands now;-) Marcia...are you keeping tabs? BTW has anybody laid claim to the Real Life Navy Parka with the fur collar...the one in the pic with Karen? I've grown fond of it on my bookcase, and would like to have it pl. Or does that belong to Karen? Squatters rights;-) But I took the picture

(Allison) Am I being greedy? Now, now, be fair. If you get the sweater (don't you just love the reindeer's eyes? ;-D) then Ann gets the collar, IMO. [Marcia usually adjudicates such matters but she seems to have fallen off the earth] ;-) Hmm, think Mari will also want to claim the striped 'Bada Bing' suit before I grab it (it's a Jersey thing ;-)). Me, I'm going to put in early dibs for *the* turtleneck, provided it is completely deer-free (can't tell yet, pic shows coat covering sweater).

Seems to me I already lay claim to that sweater in 1390! Sorry, Evie!! ;-) KJ

Oops! I mean Eileen! =:~P (**Duh**) .... Way back in February! KJ

BTW has anybody laid claim to the Real Life Navy Parka with the fur collar Yep, I did and am very keen to keep it!

(Elena)Yep, I did and am very keen to keep it! ROTF...hi Elena..glad you're still out there. Ok..I'm glad to know it's in good hands;-)
