Re Cullen's interview technique - he tends to bombard the suspect with a series of assumptions and suggestions so that the suspect gets confused as to what they're accepting or denying. He doesn't pause much for thought - big contrast to the 'let 'em stew' mentality of other DI's

BH

I really wish he could be given more to do. He might not be anything like as extrovert as a Deakin or a Burnside, let alone as much of an unholy terror like Galloway, his red-haired predecessor as DI, but that doesn't mean he should be locked away in an office while scenery-chewers like McAllister hog the CID spotlight. There is, to my mind, just as much possibility for drama in the patient man who thinks as there is in the interactions of showier creatures.

Jo_Macq

The scenes with Cullen and the kids at studio 47 were really great. I sat there and laughed the entire way through it.
I also started to take notice of Cullen in the eye candy department as well. NOT BAD!!! Love the sideburns.

Lucy

That was the most wonderful scene - you really felt Alex's discomfort and his concern for the family. You could almost feel him searhing for gentle enough words. There was one bit where he started to say something like 'It might be the only way we can nail the ********* and pulled himself up to offer a more formal 'proceed with the case'

Avon

I thought Cullen was pretty good in this one, although he was a little too quick to jump to conclusions...still, it's better to be overly concerned than risk overlooking something that serious. Lovely scene with the mother, discussing the need to obtain DNA if... he was so gentle and so understanding.

Ainsel

Just wondering though, how long has Forrest Gump's hairdresser been living in Sun Hill?
(No offence to Alex/Ged or his fans, but I do think he went just a little too short on the back and sides)

FB

It had a fantastic storyline and brilliant acting - especially by Andrew Paul and Ged Simmons.

Peta Pan

Hmmm, having rewatched it yesterday I'm inclined to think not - he seemed too much a man out of his depth. He was doing a damned fine job but much of his attitude seemed to be an awareness that he wasn't on sure ground. To me it was an epsiode where Cullen's essential decentness shone through. When he was talking to the mother about DNA samples - just brilliant! It was an excelent portrayal of a decent man doing an uncomfortable and dificult job as well as he could, sharply, IMO, aware of his limitations. He didn't pass it on to someone else though, as I have to say I think Burnside or Galloway would have.

Avon

THENEWBILL

Avon where are you???? I have JUST realised what the big deal is with Alex!!! I take back every nasty thing I have ever said about him (and that includes my picture of Beaker ). I was watching this episode and just kept thinking 'Gee, that Cullen is looking mighty good tonight!'

Peta Pan

Well, Cullen appears to be rather fond of a good digestive bikkie. Other than that I picture him eating fairly traditional food, but probably lots of it - you need energy to play Rugby.

Avon

I was impressed by the scene with Cullen and the mother - an extremely awkward issue tackled rather well.

Loz

It was a well scripted example of a good officer in an extraordinary situation.

Terry

..See, just like fluoride he does get in. Our Alex lacks the flashiness and attention-grabbingness of some other characters but eventually his ineffable loveliness draws your attention. He's no cactus dahlia, shal we say - more a delicately tinted cecil degruner (sp?) rose.

Avon

This was a really good episode. For once we actually see DI Cullen doing something !! Usually we see him say two lines (usually tearing strips off McAllister or Kate Spears) and that's it for the episode. Cullen has been severely under-used, I think. I quite like him although he's no Deakin or Burnside.

Kerry_Holmes_Protege

Then there was Cullen. Lovely man. Seemed to be wanting to act in loco parentis at one point, due to the girl's lack of a father. Maybe, one speculates idly, he does have a wife and children in the background, because I did find myself thinking that his reaction to being misdirected wasn't just the irritation of a detective who finds he's been following a red herring.

Jo_Macq

Yes, definitely - but then 2 hours of Cullen a week wouldn't really do credit to his greatness either ;0) In fact to borrow words from a show I loathe - "Too much Cullen is barely enough"

Avon

[ I quite like him although he's no Deakin or Burnside. ]

Kerry_Homes_protege

No, he's his own unique, mysterious, fascinating, intriguing self.

Avon

Cullen should keep his shirt on though...a little mystery is a great enticement to imaginative wanderings...

Ainsel

More Cullen would have been appreciated! Less ugly green tie though - where does he get them? Is there an ugly-green-tie-shop?

Avon

I understand the mesmerising properties of Cullen.

BH

Good girl! See, just like fluoride he does get in. Our Alex lacks the flashiness and attention-grabbingness of some other characters but eventually his ineffable loveliness draws your attention. He's no cactus dahlia, shall we say - more a delicately tinted Cecil de Gruner (sp?) rose.

Avon

As long as we get sufficient supplies of Cullen, I suppose we'll live.

Jo_Macq

Lovely to see Cullen, & in hindsight, such a wonderful tool, he probably should have told him.

Wombat

It would have been very nice seeing Cullen and Berisha together in some scenes - I would have loved to see that.

Gail

Nice to see Cullen, though.

Margaret

It was lovely to see more Cullen, but now the writing has him doing a Debbie and apportioning blame, but not accepting his own mistakes. Grrr.

Gail

Not brilliant Cullen but quite good Cullen and quite a lot of Cullen. I could do an editor's cut of these eps (though I think a voice-over might be necessary) which would remove P&D slobber, trim Berisha-worship drastically and have a very nice storyline left featuring largely Alex, Dekka and Tone and an undercover op. Watching Alex run such a massive undercover was what interested me (in RL someone of his rank and experience wouldn't be doing it I'm sure) - I'm interested in the human side of police operations.

Avon

For once in my life I actually felt like shaking Cullen for not letting Tony know what was going on, and for not sticking to his instincts when he felt things were happening too soon...

Ainsel

Gail

DI Cullen: usually calm, but kept lashing out at people blaming them for things which in realty they could do not much about eg. Reg calling for back up at the illegal brothel- not really much Reg could do. Also his judgement was very poor regarding Tony's predicament. Not like Alex Cullen to be so reckless.

Kerry_Homes_Protege

Shadow

Nice to see Cullen - liked that tie, I don't normally notice such things - don't much like the haircut but he's got a nicely shaped neck so it's not too bad.

Ainsel

Huh - you didn't spend a full day typing everything he said in Juliet! Still can only agree more Cullen can only be a good thing. This was another example of I was expecting ghastliness (Dave and Polly) and therefore was very pleasantly surprised. It was pretty good - the first thirty minutes were great then Des oozed onto my screen! (D'ya think garlic would help?) On the plus side - some very nice lines, Cullen, heaps of officers, Cullen, Chandler, Cullen, a truly ghastly tie that I don't think I've seen before, some cute Gilmore and Cullen

Avon

The good parts were: CULLEN!!!!!!!!!! - I love an unexpected *whoosh* After last week I thought he probably would make an appearance but I wasn'r sure and while it wasn't exactly significant Cullen stuff there was a fair sprinkling.

Avon

It was nice to see quite a bit of Cullen, even if mostly they were so-so scenes. He was wearing the jacaranda blue tie and shirt combo I'm unconvinced by but this time teamed with a black/very dark suit which I think was new. Other than admiring Cullen I did spend an awful lot of time looking at the clock and dreading how many more episodes they are going to spread this over.

Avon

Avon - I was also pleasantly surprised at the amount of whooooshing that was going on. Nice bonus. But I remain perpetually bewildered as to why Cullen keeps watching Debbie's screwups and pettiness and never says anything. Bad writers. Baaaad writers!

Gail

Cullen: trying his best to keep some vague sense of discipline and professionalism among CID. While some may see him as playing on both sides, I see a different motivation - he just wants a functioning CID. There has been enough trauma recently, and he can't be seen to be taking sides...he is the only senior officer not implicated in something dodgy at the moment. For that matter, he is the only one with his eye on the ball.

David

Felt sorry for Cullen trying to juggle what he knows, being loyal to a senior officer (who he obviously knows well), keeping his team together as a functioning unit with its range of personalities. A challenge, but I agree it is definitely absorbing to watch.

Wombat

I agree with Ainsel that there's a bit of a question mark over Cullen's behaviour at the moment but, again, I believe it's crap writing. He has been downgraded to the role of foreman on the job walking in to break up fights, drink coffee and do the paperwork. What the hell else is he doing? Another character going to waste.

Franco

Alex Cullen - great
character
so under used.

Givy

Oh Avon, there's a bit of Servalan in all of us. Wanting Cullen is a human frailty with its own reward.

Franco

He had no choice but to have a holiday, Liz took over dragging subordinates into his office and yelling at them. I seriously doubt the budget stretches to soundproofing DI offices so the mind boggles at the thoughts outside...........Still I wish I was in his office, maybe hiding under his desk.....sigh.............

Polly Pocket

Of course, Cullen is always a welcome sight for me.

Maysie

Like Maysie, i frequently use the Fast Forward Button on the remote control, only playing the scenes with our ruby haired DI, so as you can imagine, the poor button is just about broken .

Yes, let's blame the PTB Otherwise I guess there are a couple of options:
*he knows something about her that makes him a bit more tolerant of her (could even be the Jamie Ross thing)
*he knows that clobbering her just doesn't work - grant me the strength to change the things which need to be changed, the courage to endure what can not be changed and the wisdom to know the difference.
*with Jack and Tom backing her he's on thin ice dealing with her - I've been *there* as a supervisor
*revenge is a dish best served cold

Avon

Still can't work Alex out in all this, but I'm starting to get an inkling. It seems that he is hoping to nip it in the bud at the source ie Chandler - maybe to try to contain any further damage or scandal. Sun Hill has had enough of that, and morale is already low.

Ainsel

Cullen's in an unenviable situation - who deserves his loyalty, and to what extent does he actually have control of his troops? I like the character, but I think his actions are a bit wishy-washy at the moment.

Loz

WHOOOOOSH!

Avon

That's going to be the sound of the caffeine-powered guided DI warhead if he's not careful...

Jo_Macq

I'm glad he has decided to swing to the other side. Halfway through the ep I turned to Mum and said "I don't like Cullen anymore" because he was backing up Cullen after last week saying he wouldn't. Then, by the end of the ep he regained my respect. I had been hoping Cullen would team up with Jack to dig the dirty on Chandler . Should be interesting.

Peta Pan

This will be interesting to see which side he really is on, or did the episode in the office finally make his decision??

The Really Ancient One

Cullen's behaviour had me a bit troubled for a while there. It's obvious he knows that Chandler has misbehaved in the past and that he doesn't like it, so it was a bit disturbing that he seemed to be helping him out (after warning him off last week). It seems though that Cullen's aim is to make sure that when the mud sticks, it sticks for good...

Ainsel

I agree about Cullen. Halfway through the episode I thought I was going to have to change my opinion back to him being a pain but then he redeemed himself.

Panther

Terry

And what is Cullen up to? Did he sabotage one battle to ensure that the war against Chundler would be won? Is he a smarter operator than Jack? So, just as we have the Triple Ds gunning for Simpson, now we have the Triple Entente lining up against TT.

Davo

I agree, Cullen was one of my fav characters.

THENEWBILL

I thought Alex Cullen was brilliant, as he was a realistic character and believable. Well-acted by Ged Simmons.

DS Angry

Also true Could be prepared to reconsider my loathing for poker-based eps if our Alex was playing .

Avon

Cullen - finally shown his true colours. He obviously doesn't know who to back so he is taking an each way bet. He'd better be careful if he wants to play that game because neither Chundler or Meadows are stupid and nor are they particularly forgiving.

Kerry_Holmes_protege

As for the ep, the Cullen thing is really interesting. He looked as comfortable as a pork chop at a bar mitvah while Tom smarmed his way out of the Jack biz, and would appear to have decided that enough is enough. But he's smart enough to know that if you're gonna get Tom, you need more Teflon than he has.

Cop_This

Wish my cup was like that!

The Really Ancient One

Ah, it's the magic of West Brom

Avon

I liked the fact that Cullen seemed to see through her - blatant ambition combined with a nasty personality does not an appealing character make.

Loz

The poor baby. That's mean. Just because the character isn't as effusive and outright extrovert as others :).... Some characters on The Bill have personalities that are intrusive. It's nice to see the odd character, like Cullen and Monroe, who doesn't carry around an aura that practically needs its own
station in which to operate and doesn't cause suffocation to other humans in the immediate vicinity..

Jo_Macq

There are those of us who just want Cullen to have some screen time right now. That hair would be such a beacon, a lighthouse leading us away from the rocks of insanity that Sun Hill CID seems to be drifting towards...

Jo_Macq

Five minutes and five seconds into the episode and history is made - we have the first sighting of *the* mug!!!! As a friend remarked Cullen may well die of caffeine poisoning at this rate but there certainly was some good mug placement work going on The drinking bird is dead - long live the Baggies' mug!

Avon

Oh, and the blue walls of CID's temporary accommodation look more like the set for a science fiction programme CSO session. Anyone got a leather suit for Cullen? Particularly as the Mickey-Meadows intrigue is beginning to remind me of Servalan having to explain things to Jarriere in Gambit. (Which raises the question of who is Blake and who is Travis, and I'm not equipped to deal with that sort of thing this afternoon...)

Jo_Macq

Well, things are looking up as the ruby-haired one has finally returned, long fingers wrapped around a mug as usual. He likes his caffeine, doesn't he?

Gail

And again I remember why I actually wanted to see the last twelve months of eps - Cullen! Bad bad Kacey for missing so many..

Kacey

Cullen - can someone remind me what he does again ???

Kerry_Holmes_Protege

Magic?

Avon

All he seems to do is wander about drinking coffee and reprimand Kate Spears and Debbie McAllister. Possibly the least industrious DI in the history of The Bill.

KHP

I admit they don't let him out of the nick very often - which possibly relates to the fact that Chandler is attempting to use him as a DCI but which also probably reflects a real DI's role more accurately. It's the old 'What's Kirk doing in the landing party story?', after all. Cullen supervises, organises, administrates (if such a word exists) and liases. At any given moment he should know what each of this officers is working on and he assigns much of the work. He overlooks things such as the snouts' register, as well as having snouts himself. He leads committees, liaises with outside agencies, attempts to professionally develop his troops (silk purses and sows' ears come to mind ) and acts as the conduit of information (two way) between the junior officers and the senior echelon.

Avon

Cullen is back!

Gail

Mind you, he did look a bit resentful at times, sensing that he was being kept out of a loop...

Jo_Macq

I think you're right about the substitute DCI function - since Jack is too busy vendetta-ing, someone has to at least attempt to keep CID working. It does seem a tad silly though - to let your stable, competent character stay at his desk while the whiny kids go off and 'investigate.' Mind you, while I want to buy Cullen as fully in control, the way his troops keep wandering off I'm not entirely sure. Deakin was busted because he wasn't aware enough to notice that Don Beech was corrupt - even if none of the current CID are actually bent, they're not getting on with the job that much, and need a good reprimand. Perhaps, again, it's down to Jack's increasingly obvious failings as a supervisor, but I'm at a loss to see how crimes can get solved at the moment.

Loz

And the very, very best part of it all for me - CULLEN IS BACK !

Maysie

My loungeroom echoed with the

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avon

Azzy

Having Alex Cullen on screen was the main highlight for me ... could have done with seeing more of him.

Maysie

Cullen's return was welcome but a couple of episodes too late to prevent viewer boredom.

Loz

All in all, a not too bad episode, good to see Cullen getting stuck into Chandler, in fact it was good to see Cullen full stop!

FB

WHOOOOOSH!

Avon

That's going to be the sound of the caffeine-powered guided DI warhead if he's not careful...

Jo_Macq

It is a pity Cullen doesn't catch on to Mickey and Jack's little campaign he obviously could help a lot!!!!

Panther

I do hope Alex enjoyed that moment I must be losing it because I even enjoyed his tie and shirt combo and that has never been a favourite of mine

Avon

That's exactly what I think !!! I'm not a Cullen fan not because I dislike him but simply because i've rarely been given an opportunity to start liking him !! He looked promising in the episode 'Juliet' but apart from that he rarely has what one would call major appearances unlike Burnside and Deakin who were memorable because they were always out solving crime, keeping snouts in check and intimidating villians !!!

Kerry_Holmes_Protege

Very underused member of the Nick. A worthy successor to Deakin but underused.

Terry

It pleases me that people who are not fans of Cullen nevertheless respect him and think he is a pretty good copper. It doesn't surprise me, though.

Gail

Shadow

Well, I'm not Avon, but he was a damned good reason to look up at the television every once in a while from the book I was reading throughout the episode. I could use a little more of that sort of distraction

Jo_Macq

Loz

And best of all, Cullen put in more than a token appearance, and looked gorgeous throughout despite having inflicted a red tie on himself. Love those long fingers on the screen. I also liked the way he stood up for Eva against madam. He knows who's who and what's what in that office, despite his long absence. He is also feeling depressed after doing what he didn't want to do. I can understand the pressure and need to stand up for colleagues, even when they are wrong. I wonder if his offer to Jack was serious. I'm in two minds about that. He might be bluffing him to draw his fire, so to speak.

Gail

Interesting point. I think I know what is going on but I'm enjoying having the space to play with a few theories. You could write a universe where he is going to Jack as a fifth columnist, so to speak. If he genuinely was on Chandler's side or if the hold Chandler has over him is strong enough he might be simply appearing to be on Jack's side so as to have advanced warning of what they are up to so as to provide Tom with maximum defence time.

Avon
Loyaulté me lie

I think I said 'poor Alex' at least five times during this ep. It is kinda of nice to see that in the midst of the sickening coupling of Debbie and Chandler they're actually showing how much of a threat that is to the functioning of the unit and how much of an issue it is for poor Cullen who has to try and keep things running smoothly. And I just love seeing Cullen doing his job, for a long time Deakin wasn't very actively involved in running the unit and I just find Cullen so very refreshing, I think he brings an element of credibility to a show that really needs it.

Kacey

No Cullen :-(

Avon

That's because he's lying dead in the stationary cupboard after being crushed by a 50 kg sack of Brazilian Coffee !!!

Kerry_Holmes_protege

Surely not! He's stronger than that -- has to be, with the vampiric china doll still around to get on his nerves...

Jo_Macq

Anyone who has survived two station's-worth of Chandler would hardly be destroyed by a mere grocery item

Avon

Oh way more than five! Poor poor poor Alex! Talk about the Azkaban of CIDs. Suicide must be looking like a good career choice.

Yes, I'm enjoying that even though it is just making me madder with Tom. Between Tom and Debbie and Mickey and Jack he's really stuffed.

I'd like to see them let him go outside one day but the leadership role in such a difficult situation is really interesting.

Avon

I agree Ainsel!
Our boy Cullen is the best, and the only reason to keep tuning in *imho*.

Sharpei

Cullen is about the only reason left for me to keep watching.

Ainsel

What a shame they are only JUST starting to give him a role of sorts.

Jools

By contrast, [with Gina Gold] Cullen is a paragon. He's only interested in ruffling feathers when the feathers to be ruffled are causing widespread problems, such as the ripples of rumours flowing out from the appalling McAllister/Chandler two-backed beast. He's co-operative, he's polite -- I can't see him doing any sort of equivalent of Gold's deliberately lighting up in someone else's office. If he dropped a splash of coffee from that everpresent mug of his onto your work, which is about the best equivalent I can think of just now, he'd apologise for his own carelessness, I'm pretty certain he would.

Jo_Macq

What can I say? Yes, he is wonderful, yes, he is the best thing about TB these days... he's such a brilliant character wasted.

Avon

Cullen - considering that Deakin was outed for lack of staff supervision, Cullen seems destined to go the same way. In his absence
(and limited presence):
- a string of female CID officers have dedicated more time to bonking the super than police work;
- Two ethnic officers are involved in the serious assault of a local white supremisist;
- CID burns down, killing two members of CID;
- dishevelled and disillusioned young DC embarks on vendetta againist super and subsequently does no police work
- dishevelled and disillusioned middle aged DC has mid-life crisis prompted by marriage break up. Totally preoccupied with personal life does no police work

Kerry_Holmes_Protege

To be compelled to watch her [Debbie] go head-to-head with Eva for the sake of a story is too much, especially on those occasions where Cullen isn't present to either pour oil on troubled waters or metaphorically yank one of the combatants outside by the hair for a little chat.

Jo_Macq

Wonderful as he undoubtedly is, and wonderfully mysterious at that, I think expecting ESP is a little much. If he's absent from the station on a course he can hardly be expected to know what the heck is going on there. One might hope the DCI and the sergeants would be able to cope without him as they used to be able to but one would be hoping in vain, I'll admit. As for stopping the station burning down that doesn't exactly come under his remit, does it? He's a DI in the Met, not Inspector Gadget! Actually I'd love to see how they would have written Cullen in all this mess had the actor been available. I assume he wouldn't have been able to do much as obviously having someone suss it all out would have completely ruined their storyline but it still might have been interesting.

Avon

All I can say is Thank g*d we still have the luuuvely, and still totally sane Alex Cullen

Sharpei

The rest of CID is also a comparative factor - Cullen is trying to maintain a balance, but the rest of the team is hardly helping, so Debbie can practically reign without being reined in.

Loz

Just about every other character in the show has had a major personality change (for the worse), since 'you know who' took over, and a perfect example of that is Vik Singh.

Sharpei

Yes indeedy! Small (or tall ) mercies!

Avon

I'm not a great fan of Alex Cullen but he's one of the very few characters who seems to have actually improved in recent weeks.

Jools

Cullen is one of my favourite characters on The Bill partly because we know so little about him. It does seem that we might in time learn more about his past interactions with Chandler, but for now Cullen remains an enigma.

Richie

Like Avon (our lovely WHOOOOSH girl and Ainsel, I only watch the show now because of Alex Cullen, and he is important to me, otherwise I just wouldn't bother with the show in its present form.

Sharpei

What I liked about this episode:
1) Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen. And Cullen.

Jo_Macq

Apart from Cullen as he seems to be the only one with a brain cell at the moment!)

Debbie_MacAllister

LOVED Cullen walking in on June losing it. The look on his face - priceless!

Gail

Alex seems to have assumed Duncan's former role of being everyone's concience. Except that Alex's looks are far and away more expressive than Duncan's raised eyebrows.

Thrang

Ainsel

It was good to see Cullen not just as his nibs' sidekick, but as someone who did have a human side, especially where Tony was concerned.

Lucy

Well, actually tonight was the first time I've ever actually liked anything Cullen's done; but only during the mug-hurl. Each to their own - you can't understand why we Jim/June fans would like Jim, I can't understand why Cullen's such a big hit.

Lisa_H

They have finally brought it to the point where no amount of Cullen will make it palatable for me. I did not think that was possible.

Ainsel

Well, this is why I read during The Bill. There's the off-chance I'll look up at the right time and see the one completely sane person at Sun Hill.

Jo_Macq

That was very much a "Would you children mind telling what brought this on?" expression, and I was glad to have seen it. I was glad to have seen Cullen in general, though I could live without his becoming His Nibs' personal interaction planner.

Jo_Macq

Cullen, master of the bemused look.

FB

I agree with the 78 people who said that the look on Cullen's face as he walked into CSU was quite priceless. It probably about matched the look on mine, because I could not believe my eyes either.

Ainsel

I enjoyed the expression but the whole thing just wandered so dangerously into fanfic it was a worry. I would like to know what he did/said afterwards. I'm quite enjoying watching him annoying Tom but then I play with my own subtext.

Avon

Cullen's face was brilliant in the mug flying episode.

Panther

Cullen's face after walking in on June and Jim was priceless!!! The funniest thing I've seen in a while ...

Rhiannon

Wasn't Cullen good when addressing the star crossed lovers, hey?? I would like to see more of him in future eps.

Bek Mate

Cullen - well dressed but wears strange ties.

Kerry Holmes_protege

The Jim/June mug-hurling incident is a jump-the-shark contender, but was redeemed by the look on Cullen's face - so much said without words. Children! Please!!!

Cop_This

Can someone please arrange for Cullen to give the same sort of speech he gave to James and June to the rest of the station? It'd be nice to have ol' Alex as a bit more than just the voice of reason, but if that's the only way he fits into the station at the moment, then I'll take what I can get...

Jo_Macq

Jo_Macq

This really didn't work for me, despite the nice glimpses of Cullen in a getting-up-Chandler's-nose tie.

Avon

Gail

Perhaps Alex Cullen did a Gail and sometimes drank herbal tea to satisfy the hot drink urge and avoid drinking too much coffee. Probably not, as he really didn't seem like the herbal tea type, but it's a thought.

Gail

Paisley tie *shudder* Enjoyed the fact that they had remembered that Tony and Cullen had previously got on well together - it's probably the relief of being able to look someone in the eye without getting a crick in your neck

Avon

Cullen was as usual lovely, and he & Tony were great.

Wombat

From Badzena.com

Avon

Indeed, McAllister was hard enough for me to watch, let alone His Nibs, but imagine working with them, fictional characters or not. Strong grip on his temper, I think. I'd've lost it far more often than The Ruby-haired One...

jo_macq

ainsel

The Cult of Cullen - not so much a fangroup as a lifestyle choice.

Avon

Now, now, "lifestyle" raises the spectre of accessories, and after my Frankencullen quip some time back, I'm not sure I want to speculate.

jo_macq

*looks innocent* Now what's wrong with a packet of digestives, a Baggies coffee mug, a packet of red hair dye (not that *the* ruby haired one does, just that his followers might), a supply of discreet ties (always have to be careful that I don't get that section of my tie wardrobe mixed up with the pop-your-eyeballs-80s-ugly-Burnside ties section) and a small dragon?

Avon

My television set hates the ABC at the moment it seems. It spends most of the time I'm watching that channel in black and white (I mourn -- poor Cullen is not quite the *flaming* beacon of sanity he ought to be when the tv is behaving itself ), or doing other strange things.

Jo_Macq
