Happy Rum and Black Day

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Yay - it's Dec 2nd! Now those nursing a hangover from the Scarsdale might have to look away, but for the rest of you... 

Some icons to get us in the party mood - first time I have actually sat down to make some, so I hope you like!

DOYLE

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

BODIE

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

COWLEY, B/D & my fave baddie RAMOS (as he is the best, the very best *g*)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

And since today is celebrating that Christmas drink of rum and black, here is a selection of fics where our lads get rather tipsy…

FIC SELECTION

The Joy of Camping - Miriam Heddy

Bodie grinned, taking another pull from the bottle he was cradling like a newborn. "Queer as a three-pound note. As in not straight, gay, a fairy, an uncrowned queen, a pansy, poofter, bugger, sodomite, and campier 'n a row of tents," a tight smile and a pause for breath as it seemed to occur to Bodie that they were, in fact, in a tent, then, "Not to put too fine a point on it, the love that dare not speak its name, or, as the Yanks would say, a faggot."

Ray could only stare hard at Bodie until he came back into focus again, then he found his voice, "You saying you're bent?"

Jingle Balls or Hard Times – M Fae Glasgow --PDF link

By midnight, the first shift was well over the eight and the second shift was already half-way under the table. Or, to be specific, Bodie was several over the eight and Doyle was under the table.

xXx

Just A Kiss – Sebastian

There was plenty going on in the centre of the room; dancing, singing, shouting, the clinking of glasses as the celebration reached its height. Plenty round the edges, too, where various couples, overcome by the quantities of free champagne cuddled, or slept, openmouthed. Most people were quite merry enough to accept the most unusual happenings as not out of place; even when one of the unusual happenings was agents 3.7 and 4.5 draped around one another exchanging drowsy loving kisses at 2 am.

Susan And Betty’s Drinking Game – Krisser

"Just how is the game played?" Ray inquired.

"Dice and daring," Susan replied with a twinkle in her eye.

Both men wore dubious expressions.

Betty sat down opposite the men and refreshed their drinks. "My, my, after years of hearing endless adventurous exploits, I can't believe you two could be afraid of a few questions."

xXx

Glenmorangie by The Hag

Bodie?" Slurred, painful. "Bodie? You awake?"

No, Bodie decided. His mouth didn't feel up to coping with actual words.

"Bodie? What the hell were we drinkin'?"

Too much, whatever it was.

"Bodie...?"

A tentative hand on his shoulder shook an earthquake through his head.

"Why we both naked, then?"

xXx

Enjoy! And cheers!

Ooh, I like these! Particularly...Doyle 3, Bodie 1, and B/D 4. Although the more I look, the more I like. *g* Excellent idea for the day!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Very glad you like them, I wanted to make icons from each ep where they were drinking, and then do a rogues gallery of villains, but I completely ran out of time. Still, it was good fun though, so perhaps that will be a little project running on the side... *g*

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Excellent - a delightful take on the prompt! I like Bodie 4 and B/D 4 especially. And the Ramos one is a giggle. Always loved Ramos in those HUMUNGUS sunglasses and dodgy beatles haircut and accent.

Thank you for putting these together.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! They were fun to do, glad they seemed to come out ok. And yay for Ramos! The best, most inconspicuous villain ever!

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Hee, what a brilliant idea!
They're all fab, but I especially like Bodie 5 & 6,and B/D 4. Nice to see Cowley joining the fun too!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And nice to hear which ones work best for people. And yes, couldn't leave the Cow out of it!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Yep, a brilliant idea, well done and a nice gift! Thank you! I can hardly name favourits, because I like them all: Doyle 2, 5, Bodie 1,2,5,6 There are nice mini series in it: D6, B4, C1 and that 5th Beatle down there is a nice one, too.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! I'm glad you liked them, and I see what you mean about the mini-series, cool!

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's a fantastic collection! I love them all, even the Ramos one *G* Thank you so much for this!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! Very nice to hear they all worked ok for you! And aw, bless Ramos! *g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh excellent! Love the idea, love the icons, love the fics - thank you! Snagging Doyle 6 cos I love the expression on his face, and the lads together in 3 and 4 because I love that they're looking at each other just like that! Yeay! It's been ages since I had new icons! *vbg*

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! Cheers for your help with thinking of drunk fics *g* Really glad the icons seem to have worked ok - snag whatever you wish!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, what lovely icons. I can't decide which ones I like best so... I'm taking them all! And thanks for the fic recs as well.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! And they are all yours to take! And I esp recommend M Fae Glasgow's Jingle Bells - it is hilarious and very well written, very hard to know which bit to quote!

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

So many choices! They're all lovely. Have snagged 4 & 5 of the lads together, also #4 of Doyle. Now off to revisit some fic, thanks for posting the links.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers, and snag away! Glad you like *g*

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Oooh, lovely! I adore B/D 4, and Bodie 1, and *heh* the eyes in Bodie 4... many, many more.

Thank you!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Am very glad you like! Bodie 1 - yes, that *might* be my fave out of that line, esp as you can just glimpse Doyle in the background as well! *g*

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

The icons are fabulous :)

Cheers !

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! First time I tried to make any, so very glad you like them *g*

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

So many lovely icons!! What a lovely present. I just cannot choose any favourites they are all so fantastic.

Thank you.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! Have them all, that is the best thing about xmas, you can over-indulge to your heart's content! *g*

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Now why do shots of the lads gargling booze make me laugh so very much ...heh ... Doyle 2 is very pretty, and Bodie 1 ... he's doing that 007 thing ... excellent, thanks for these, they've put me well in the mood *g*

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! Oh me too! And I am glad they have put you in the mood *sings jingle balls, er bells, er...* :)

[loyseofverlaine.livejournal.com]

Lovely. And inspiring. Some of these are definitely coming to live with me. Thank you!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh fab! 'Inspiring' sounds especially good! I am sure they'll have a happy home with you. Cheers!

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

I =love= your icon theme. How bloody ingenious and very well done too. Plus, I haven't read all the fics you've rec'ed. Bonus! ::An dashes off to read...as soon as she finishes writing:: *g*

Thanks so much. :-)

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Ah cheers! And thanks for saying 'well done too', as first foray into icons, it was fun to do. And do I detect yet more fret and scribbles for DIALJ?!! I am still scribbling like mad, it's me tomorrow too (and as of yet the fic has no end! AGH!)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

What a neat variety of pics! And you got the drinking theme throughout! I really like these icons, especially Doyle 1 & 2, and Bodie 1 & 5.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I am very glad you like, yes I woke up the other day (with a slight hangover) all inspired! *g*

Happy Rum and Black Day

[elizabethhelena.livejournal.com]

I'm very impressed with the range of drinking pictures you tracked down to make these icons.

I really loved Doyle 2, Bodie 2, and Cowley 2. :-)

And Bodie 3 made me laugh.

Re: Happy Rum and Black Day

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! I wanted to go through each ep and pick a few, as well as getting some fave baddies in there, but ran out of time! Glad Bodie 3 made you laugh, I really enjoy hearing what ones worked best for everyone! :)

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons, and I love the reccs you made, thank you so much :D

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice to hear you like them! And I didn't know what to quote from M. Fae's, it was all so funny! *g*

[agentxpndble.livejournal.com]

Bodie #3 is hillarious! :-)

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Bodie 3 could have been so, so rude! I decided to spare him that, but dearie me, the thoughts going through my head... *g* Glad you liked!

[melanieathene.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons! I've snagged Doyle 1, Bodie 1 and B/D 3... now I'm off to grab myself a drink before settling down to read the fics you listed. :)

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Cheers! Snag away! And I wonder what you think of the fics, out of that collection I would read M Fae Glasgow first, then Sebastian, and then any order!

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Really nice idea and layout. Thanks for the great pics and recs!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Ah thanks! It was fun to pick a theme like that and go for it - might do some more one of these days! *g*

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

Hmm, much fun - thanks!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them! Enjoy!

What a lovely idea. Particularly like the shots of them getting pissed.
And Ramos, of course. Took me ages to realise he's also 'Trigger'!
Thanks for these.

Forgot to check I was logged in! Sorry, I was the anonymous one.

Ramos!Ramos!Ramos! *hums the Ramos song*

Fantastic icons. Especially that one. And the links are great too. That bit from the Miriam Heddy story had me in pieces the first time I read it, and still does the trick!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Ramos! Ramos! Ramos! *joins in with you*

I must dig out the lyrics to the Ramos song from the forum, they were so funny! Ah that was it:

Ramos! Ramos! Ramos!
Doesn't need a gang
Ramos! Ramos! Ramos!
His favourite word is bang!

Priceless stuff from a poster known as PW on the TV lounge forum. And Ramos! The Musical! can be found in full here: http://www.thetvlounge.co.uk/professionals/viewtopic.php?t=599&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

Great idea for an icon theme - and wonderfully executed! :)

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was fun to do, might have to get Photoshop to play more often!
