Oh lovely this topic got bumped up!  I was just thinking yesterday about it as I listened to music.  Only problem, the music is reminding me of Hal in terms of my fanfic story and other's fanfic stories, so not really a connection to show Hal that everyone else might get!  

But something that always reminds me of Hal is when someone says "Thank You".  I now always say "You're very welcome", and in my head I hear Hal's voice outside the pawn shop.  I wonder if that will ever stop? Probably not, I hear his voice all the time...

J-B those are cute salt & pepper shakers.  He worked in a cafe, he dressed up as French waiter, they are the right colours - I approve! 

I came across this poem.  Instant Hal connection for me.

They say that Hope is happiness; 
But genuine Love must prize the past, 
And Memory wakes the thoughts that bless: 
They rose the first--they set the last; 

And all that Memory loves the most 
Was once our only Hope to be, 
And all that Hope adored and lost 
Hath melted into Memory. 

Alas it is delusion all: 
The future cheats us from afar, 
Nor can we be what we recall,
Nor dare we think on what we are. 

George Gordon Byron

I've only just started watching Being Human (started with series 4) but every time I do the washing up I say "Sorry, marigolds" to myself while holding up my hands with the washing up gloves on and start giggling!

This scene is adorable!

Everything....just everything!!!!

I'm having really bad Being Human withdrawals at the moment.......

Welcome to the world of the Halcoholic, Rosie... the end of BH series 5 the first time is such a powerful experience... don't forget there is an additional scene (on the DVD) you must watch to truly see the 'end' of the show.......... we have it on the forum too but I won't link you up to it as it really does need to be approached with care!

Gosh... you must have thought us all a bit bonkers before you could make sense of our names and sigs!

Rosie - so pleased that you finally watched BH....stupidly pleased, in fact!  You'll have to go and take a look at some of those polls in DaMo Central now that you've met Hal....

I know this isn't particularly subtle - but this village is just a few miles from where I live and everytime I drive past the sign I smile to myself and sigh....

 

 

(apologies for the quallity of the pic....I actually took it off Google street view, as the sign itself is on a blind bend!)

oh my fifi, that one is fab! more Hal?

I saw this when I was in England.  Hal + hair + angel reference.  It was perfect.

How have I missed this topic??

The lyrics to The Black Keys "Lonely Boy" reverberate through me where Hal is concerned but especially the song "Sinister Kid"

"A sinister kid is a kid who runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
And that's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be"

  is exactly what I think whenever I see that Halmore sign, whimsy!

 

Hmm....not sure if Leo would've really been a 'hair design' kinda guy - I think of him as more of a traditional barber.  I've always found it a bit surprising that he cut Hal's hair in the style that he did....although I'm not complaining!
