I Spy Something beginning with...

Comment and I'll give you a letter. Then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

My letter from [livejournal.com profile] bratty_jedi was G.

1. Gold.
2. Green.
3. Gambling. (To a degree;))
4. Ginger. (As in the spice and neighbour's cat).
5. Gee Gees. (Because I have to get horses into everything).
6. Galaxy.
7. Gardens.
8. Google.
9. Guillemots.
10. Gilpin Lodge Hotel.

And following on from my exciting visits to supermarkets, I popped to the newsagents this morning, and for a minute thought I'd discovered the Remus and Tonks of the West Midlands. The girl in front of me was proclaiming loudly to her mate: "I know he's dangerous, but he's so good in bed what can I do?" Turns out he'd just been done for dangerous driving for the third or fourth time (she couldn't remember), rather than a werewolf problem...

A rejoinder like that would certainly help with Remus' "too old" excuse as well. "I can barely keep up with you now! If you were any younger, I'd have no hope."

Nice list. Anything in particular you love about galaxy or just the concept in general?

We've really got to rewrite the entire hospital scene, haven't we? There'd be no need for anyone else to chip in, Remus and Tonks could explain it all in a few, short, extremely frank sentences, LOL.

I'm quite interested in astronomy; Husband even more so. Plus there's a delicious bar of milk chocolate called Galaxy... ;)

That's why Remus was so stiff and wouldn't really look at anyone! He was waiting for Tonks to blurt out something about their sex lives. It all makes so much more sense now.

I can't put that sentence in a child-friendly hospital fic scene. Though obviously it's a nice lead in to Tonks' arguement and the robe shaking. ;)

But you see, that is the beauty of double entendres. They fly right over the heads of the little ones.

That's true, so I won't worry. Which leaves us with Remus standing there stiffly, and Tonks starting off with: "You see! She still wants to marry him, even though he's not as dangerous in bed as you are!"

Galaxy chocolate should be on your shopping list when you go out looking for Jaffa Cakes.

I have a friend from England whose father sent her a care package with some Jaffa Cakes. I'd told her about our discussion and she said she would bring some up to school for me to try but I think she forgot.

Get on that phone and tell her off! Jaffa cakes are to die for, and would definitely have been in my ten if I'd had J.

I know, though it's a bit annoying when Keith gets 7/8ths of the bar. Still 1/8th is better than none. That's another hideous icon you've got there, btw... ;)
