Re: Ben-related fun stuff
I don't know how old this Twitter conversation between Amanda Abbington and Simon Pegg is, but lol!

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
If anybody wrote about Amanda Abbington and Simon Pegg what they wrote about Benedict here behind his back, it would be immediatelly labeled as "hate"...

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
I don't know... I go by the impression that they are all good enough friends to joke like this... that it is the sort of thing they joke about face to face with Benedict, and that they'll show him later and all have a laugh about it. I hope this is the case, anyway!

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
Benedict is not active in social networks, so I doubt he knows what his "friends" tweet there...
And I doubt they tell him how they "penetrated his final frontier" into his face...

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
These tweets have been posted before and we had this exact same conversation. Opinions vary but I don't think we need to argue about it again.

Like I said, I didn't know how old it was... Wasn't aware it had been discussed already. I'll delete the post if you like.

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
Some people are not too happy with that issue, and had some good reasons, imho.
But don't worry, ukaunz, you couldn't know that it is a tricky subject

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
I did a search and found the original thread (probably should have done that first) so I get it now... I'm still happy to delete it, but now there are all these replies that will need deleting too

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
Simon deleted his account sometime last year,so it's not new. They have been funnier though I remember a conversation when Simon and Martin where on promo tour for something. I don't follow her on twitter anymore, since most of her tweets doesn't interest me at all, she's sometimes a bit too much.

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
I love Simon and was really sad when he left Twitter.
I still follow.Amanda.
But as I also follow 5000 other people, the chances of my seeing her tweets are slight.
I like her,though

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
Definitely doesn't work. I got Tom Hardy three times in a row with three completely different sets of answers. He's not my type!!

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
But he must be in it, I read the comments. There was someone who got Eddie Redmayne 4 or 6 times, with completely different answers. I guess it's destiny girls! 
@ukaunz: I guess that quiz knows something that you don't know yet.

Re: Ben-related fun stuff
Tried it twice. Colin Firth and Idris Elba. Nice but nothing more.
That game DOESN'T work.
