I don't know how old this Twitter conversation between Amanda Abbington and Simon Pegg is, but lol!

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"...

**Posted by ukaunz** January 26, 2016 2:16 pm

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!

**Posted by nakahara** January 26, 2016 2:19 pm

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...

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.

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

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

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.

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

"New" game. Ben is one of the results.

I got Chiwetel Ejiofor !?

**Posted by SusiGo** April 5, 2016 11:18 am

The game does not work. I got Tom Hardy.

**Posted by ukaunz** April 5, 2016 11:23 am

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!!

**Posted by Ivy** April 5, 2016 11:31 am

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.

**Posted by gently69** April 5, 2016 11:53 am

Tried it twice. Colin Firth and Idris Elba. Nice but nothing more.
That game DOESN'T work.

**Posted by Harriet** April 5, 2016 2:38 pm

What did I get THIS guy for:

You got: Alex Pettyfer

**Posted by Vhanja** April 5, 2016 2:46 pm

I got Eddie Redmayne.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 5, 2016 3:20 pm

I got Eddie too... well it's not totally wrong... but...
