Overheard in Borders

Last night I went out for dinner with friends in Carlton, an area that is famous for its Italian food and cafes. It also has a couple of pretty good bookstores, including a Borders.

While we were on the way there, Bon Jovi came onto the radio and I said something to my son along the lines of "Do you know who is singing this song?", and proceeded to tell him. Of course, my self-censor switch was turned off, because at the end of that I said "And it doesn't hurt that he is totally HOT!" to which my 9 year old replies "so you LOVE him". No, I don't LOVE him, but he is a very fine specimen of manhood along with someone else that I could mention but won't just yet!!.

So later, we are in Borders and I am looking for something to buy (they didn't have any of the books that I wanted to buy) when I say to my son "I am thinking about getting a Robin Hood DVD". Now bear in mind that we are standing in the kids area, and he says "oh yes, let's get this one!" and proceeds to hand me a Disney DVD that has Robin Hood, The Fox and the Hound and something else on it. Self censor switch still not turned on, I say "I don't want that one. I want the one with Richard Armitage in because he is hot!". The woman behind me turned around and gave me the strangest look. Perhaps I shouldn't be discussing the hotness of certain men with my son in the kids section of Borders.

Anyway, I spent enough money to get a discount on parking - spend $50 to save $6 on parking...I'm sure there's some logic in there somewhere - and I came home with the complete series one of Robin Hood! I've never watched the show before so I hope it's good!

  1. Ooh, goodie! 'Nother Aussie member of the Armitage Army! Fabulous!

    There's lots and LOTS of friends, and things Richard Armitage, at the Armitage Army forum. (Sorry, don't mean this to sound like an ad - just love the place, and Richard of course - goes off into a happy dream).

    We're really a very happy bunch of Richard's admirers and quite safe, a little breathless when it comes to Richard but that's only to be expected.

    And completely understandable! I might drop in and have a look!

  4. Too funny!

    Admittedly, my only celluloid RH experiences are the Disney version (love it, especially the scene that looks and sounds like football) and the cheesy Kevin Costner version (although it did have the saving grace of starring Alan Rickman as well). But this Armitage looks, as you say, HOT!

  5. Lesley, you could definitely do worse than to spend some time watching this Armitage...whatever he is in whether it be Vicar of Dibley, North and South or Robin Hood!
