To Wish Impossible Things

First question: who would YOU choose?

I think Santa has a very wry sense of humor, as he has almost promised me the one I want, but so far (in over a year) hasn't quite had the balls to grant him to me.

The one I would choose is well aware of who it would be, but I guess we haven't both been sending our desires to the same Granter of Wishes or it might have been by now.

Sigh. One day?

I'm still crossing my fingers for a Vorderman on Christmas morning ;-)

OMG, honestly this is a very very tough question...I am thinking Daniel Craig or Robert Downey Jr in an island on the middle of the Pacific Island. Daniel Craig coming to me like that shot from James Bond when he is coming out of the sea. However, Robert Downey Jr wearing his iron man suit and hugging me could do wonders too.....hahaha...I know I am letting myself get away here...

However, if I am completely honest I am just thinking of one single person at the moment. He has become all and yet he is so far away. Therefore, I would love to say "All what I want for Xmas is him" next to me. I don't need anywhere special just a warm place where I can hug him...I am sure I would like more than one night but I am planning to bribe Santa so I can keep him for a very long long time...:)

As I've adopted paganism in the autumn of my years, I'm opting for a solstice fertility rite at a hot spring with an endless supply of rice wine, where I can be dipped, oiled up, and suitably ministered to by 20 nubile heavy-breasted squealing shrine maidens who would slip and slide all over me until sunrise.

Graham I could've sworn you were going to say the kitkat factory with the girl out of the flake adverts!

You'd better not ask Dopey either Ron. Who knows what you might end up with?

Wise words LilG ....... :-)

I would think of that as part of the attraction Graham ;-)

Not Basildon Bond and Miss Funny Fanny?

Sensual, if Robert is wearing all of his outfit plus invites some of his Avenger's mates (Thor is coming to mind now) then I may be willing to forget about Daniel but just for a little bit. ;)...I know I am greedy but we are talking about Daniel here (and that shot is coming to mind again lol).....

Hmm, i loathe to be a pain Santa but my wish is to spend 24 hours with a very special man, so special nthat i don't think he even exists. I want a man with a damn sexy voice, a sense of humour that can make me laugh so much my sides ache. A man that can hold an intelligent conversation and that is as honest as a day is long,saying what he means rather than what he thinks i want to hear. I also wish the afore mentioned to be wrapped up in a delicious gorgeous package and the cherry o the top to be that he is the most wonderful,sensual,errotic and passionate lover that a woman could ever imagine.

But sadly i think i may be asking for something even Santa won't be able to grantn me in that one wish, as i fear i'm wishing for the impossible as surely no man like that existsimg src="imagesadultemoticons009.gif" But in the off chance Santa finds such a man, to top my wish off i want to spend the daytime on a tropical island and the evening in the wild lands of Scotland with Mr Perfect. In front of a blazing log fire,laying on a sheepskin rug sharing a chilled bottle of champers and strawberries or a special bottle of tasty malt whisky, sharing lots and lots of Ahemm.....you know ;-)

Yep i know i'm wishing for far too much, but surely a womans allowed to dream, isn't she? :-) x

Ooops sorry* so special that i don't think he even exists

Not just the blog women MissG ;-) ...... Give me a remote log cabin on a snowy windswept mountain, with a roaring log fire and sheepskin rug over anywhere else any day of the week !

I'd spend time in Banff at the foot of Sulphur Mountain. Six foot of snow, freezing cold and naked in an outdoor natural hot water spa. Oh, almost forgot to mention the undivided attention from two naked men ...

Let the New year in with a bang!

Stargirl, try not to make a rod for your own back.
In my experience, you absolutely have to get things off to a no nonsense start with the mother in law. (He needs to take your side too).
If she thinks she calls the shots, she will always, always... expect to.

At the risk of minor tantrums and fall outs from her... put her straight, asap.

There's no reason not to be friends, equal friends that is. This is your life, for you and him to arrange, not hers.

As " That bast**d" on a few occasions, my monster in laws have mistaken respect and gentle deference to mean "He knows his place" (Grrr). Wrong !! ;-).

Just a thought lol.

Yes, I assumed 'Mother in Law'.... but the same applies to anyone outside of you and him.

Sod 'em, do as YOU like. xx

Sorry if I came over too strong. But this subject comes up often amongst friends.. and in my honest opinion, the vast majority of folk I've ever spoken with, regret deeply the interference that they allowed their in laws to make.

I do agree that some mums in law are lovely. I know a few myself. They tend to be the ones who see that their grown up offsprings are just that, grown up... and mustn't be dictated to.

Asking an in laws advice is a different matter of course, I've sought it myself.

The trouble is, far too many new young wives are ground down by overbearing blooming mother in laws.. and spend decades under the thumb.. with their mummy's boy partners unable or unable to stick up for them.

Yes, some mothers in laws instincts may be right... but that doesn't mean to say that her daughter ought to live by her mum's instincts does it?
Or how on earth will she ever develop her OWN personality?
People ought to be allowed to live life and make their own mistakes, not live by the mistakes their parents may have made... and now spout what's "right" to all.

Too many partnershipsmarriages have three in them. Two is all that's needed.

IMHO

or unwilling*

MissG... I hate arguing.. and I honestly don't wish to pii** you off, truly.
For one thing, like lots of other guys here, I quite fancy you, lol.. so if I'm to keep 'that' fantasy, I'd better be careful eh? ;-)

having said that, can I ask you a question?

If one of your (now adult) sons, or both of them, let it slip in years to come, maybe when you are now a grandma, that over all these years your daughter in laws had sort of resented you, been a little scared of you... because in the beginning, decades ago... you ruined their engagement party...

A special day, as is the wedding do of course.

But you had to tell them how it would go didn't you, (maybe, just pretend for now), but they went along with things, so as not to cause a fuss, not to upset you.

What if YOUR daughter in law wrote this:

"Sadly the engagement party was a boring family affair, all straight laced and mind your 'P's &Q's' kind of thing and all done under parents instructions. We wish we hadn't bothered and just vanished off down to a place with a black tower to have a laugh with friends of our own choosing" (sorry FFP)

How would you feel MissG ?


If a couple can't have their own way at their own engagement and wedding do... when can they?
When the mother in law says it's "ok" to?

I'm all for being respectful, but to me..
It's a two way deal.


(Ahh well, that's one fantasy I can cross out I guess, lol).


Right, on that note, I've waited all week to watch "Hope Springs" so I'm off ;-)

MissG I agree with StarG and you never need to apologise to me x

Haha are you kidding MisG? I love opinionated women!! Who the Hell wants a boring one?

I was only voicing my opinion too. So shall we end it here?

As for my fantasy, well nice try, but it's my fantasy so I'll keep it I think, lol.
This blog IS wishing for impossible things after all ;-)

All I want for Christmas is me two front teeth

Also hoping you're ok SS. I'm assuming that you weren't travelling in an old mini with the windows open at the time of the accident?

Think the most impossible thing is the amount of log cabins required. Do that many exist for all of us?

"Six foot of snow, freezing cold and naked in an outdoor natural hot water spa."

I'll snake Dixon over from the adjoining steaming rock pool when he's finished with the shrine maidens :-)

Good thinking Gilli...... With free Cadbury's Buttons & Kitkats for every room ;-)

" ... when he's finished with the shrine maidens"

Will he need to take a break first? It could be a long night :-)

I will bring a supply of delicious malt whisky, champagne and strawberries, to share a glass of two but only with someone special. But then again Santa may not be able to find me my Mr Perfectimg src="imagesadultemoticons009.gif" though i could point him in the right direction as to where he might find him ;-) x

I think that's a whole new blog Gilli !!!

Lindy you're welcome to Flakes but don't drop them on Grahams sheepskin rug....

And who can ever say no to Single Malt, Champagne or Strawberries SSG?

We're not going to starve in this Log Cabin ;-)

Mmmm... who tied who? ;-)

lol, well that explains things.

Now then, what shall I do with this soft cording...
I reckon your feet might look lovely.. as earrings..

Now just relax, have another G&T, you'll be fine..

Haha serves you right, Gimpmask indeed..

Nope Lillie, G&T is just a drink, I will substitute it for one you prefer, just say the word.

Talking about words...
Shall we agree the safe word now?
(For when you have feety earrings..) ;-)

Ohhh that's right, you're gagged, hmm.. let me think..

I'll teach you morse, you can tap out an SOS if you've had enough, that ok?

Gilli' !!! Just hold on with that bloomin Trophy will you..

Chris is here now and he's REALLY naughty... bad words and everything!!!

I'm pretty sure he deserves the trophy treatment..

Aha, good girl.
Right, back to those ropes now...

Oft Lindy, you should try staying way up here in the wild lands of Scotland. The naughty step up here is a very cold dismal place where i sit all on my lonesome :-(

Aye but it's still part of the uk!

Aye that it is doktorZ :-) x

Is the naughty step in the log cabin?

Could kill 2 birds with 1 stone ;-)

Hello Happy, welcome to the Twilight Zone !! ;-)


I must have missed the straws lecture too, can anyone enlighten me? I thought I had a pretty good grounding, but straws? Help!!

Oh ps, to get back to the 'OP' as one cruel mistress insists I should ;-)

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Vorderman for Christmas.

AND for happy ever after of course, lol.

(Or at least until she sobers up and sees I'm not actually 6'5" muscular, slim and tanned ) ;-)

Lol, the semaphore must be for Lillie then Graham. But it could be tricky trying to semaphore a safe word when she's roped up !!

She can't shout out a safe word because she's gagged.. so morse code is all I could think of...

But semaphore... this I gotta see ;-)

Grrrrr...


Nah, I was humouring you, in a room together you might find you'd bitten off more than you could chew. I like toys too haha.

But I'll let you play, (for now) lol.

Have a lovely holiday, I'm very jealous, we may have a group inspection of white bits when you return.

I hope that's not too long x.

Reader's wives?

Persons....Fiona Bruce and Nigella Lawson

Location Villa dEste Lake Como

End of July

Riva 33 and endless champers

And tickets to some suitable venues


Thanks Santa!

Joe...unless I've missed it...you still haven't told us who's on your Christmas wish list this year!

I'm easily pleased eg..... Maybe Natalie Portman or Natasha Mcelhone or Suranne Jones or Kate Beckinsale or Faye Dunnaway in her prime ......... Or someone from my dim and distant past who I was too shystupid to persue when I had the chance.

SS.. well, I mentioned a 'group' inspection because I didn't want to appear selfish and ask for a private showing.
Plus, we could all have something to chat about.. in your new blog for instance.. Whether your 'White bits' were far too small thus meaning you must have been quite the slapper. erm, very uninhibited I mean.

On the other hand, if your white bits looked far too big, well, Miss jean Brodie, you might respond well to the inspection!! ;-)

10 mins to do the inspection eh?
Lol, after ten minutes of a group inspection, I'd think you'd forget all your reflexes and scratching eyes out...
All those hands focused on you...
Wouldn't that tick a few boxes? ;-)

There, I guess that'll do for another of my "Wish for Impossible Things".

Unless of course, you feel like a coffee ;-)


I can pick up another six on the way down.
Names on a list please, first come first served ;-)

Mmmm... I fully concur with Faye Dunnaway.
I was a permanent erection on legs, at 15 yrs old, when The Thomas Crown Affair came out.

Gawd, I thought she was perfection, still do.

I think Angelina whatshername borrowed heavily on that film when she made The Tourist. Sophisticated and stylish.

Or, in Yorkshire, the lass looked gawjus.

Joe, did you just said there that you are not demanding and listed those names??? LOL...Yeah, I can see you are not at all...I am not demanding either actually Daniel Craig, David Tenant, Robert D, Paolo Nutini...Just a few that I would not mind hugging me right at this precise moment...mmmmm...getting carried away again !!!..lol

Wow Lindy - now you have got me thinking...

There is someone from waaaaay back who I would like to meet again. She was a rather lovely folks singer and she and I spent a lot of time in the back of my (Italian) car...

So Heather, if you are out there, get in touch!!!

Oh heck now I am in a fluster.

Okay, okay ... I've changed my mind. Can I exchange the natural spa for a cosy hotel room and a four poster bed?

Cough, cough ... I'll keep the attention from two naked men though.

Christina Hendricks was gorgeous in Mad Men.
If I was that way inclined, I'm sure she'd be my type. Her and Penelope Cruz.
