What fun, Milady!! Leave it to you to figure out how to do these polls -- I can't wait to see all the results! And can I ask what movie that shot of Gerard Butler comes from? I voted for Aidan Turner, but whooo, boy, Gerard with long hair. (heart flutters) :D

I have yet to join Twitter -- LOL ... I'm thinking about it. :D For you, I'd do just about anything!

I voted, but I tended to vote for the ones I've never heard of.

Bimbimbie - I've got to google a few of those..

Dawn French is an inspiration - definitely a fitting choice for Peg!

Amanda Holden? She's a face like a line a wet weshin...


Charles - you know the characters as well as most :) Don't think I could ever imagine you voting for Brad Pitt though lol

I thought her an indifferent "I care only for myself" sort of face*!*

Having problems with my internet at the moment - you could say it was spasmodic - probably due to the weather. Next RoYds in 5 minutes!!!
