Hello :)

[artisanlibra]

Hello is usually the best way to make an introduction! And, it just so happens to be the first word Mr Sewell said to me, when I met him the other day!!!  I'll tell you more about that in the Closer Board though!

Anyway, back to me for a quick introduction!  I'm in my 20s, and I first saw Rufus in Tristan & Isolde a couple of years ago - so not really such a long-time fan - when I watched the film because of a young Henry Cavill.  Let's just say that a certain Cornish king soon stole my heart instead, and hasn't let go of it since!  The performance that really cemented Rufus as my all-time favourite actor, though, has to be Tom Builder from The Pillars of the Earth.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll see me around the forum; it's going to save my family & co-workers from a lot of my almost-constant babbling about the handsome Englishman we all adore!

Hello, Artisanlibra  (be prepared to end up as AL ) and welcome to the Rooftop!

Thank you for joining us, and have fun exploring. I'm sure you're not the first member whose family/friends/workmates are grateful you now have an outlet for your Rufus chat - so we look forward to seeing you joining in on the various boards (I see you've made a start already).  I'm afraid once you're hooked on Rufus, this is quite possibly the safest place for you to be!

Just ask if you have any queries.

Welcome to the Rooftop ArtisanLibra, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here. Everyone is very friendly and understands completely your Rufus obsession. I should warn you though, this place can be hard on the pocketbook as you will soon find yourself seeking out and buying everything our man has been in.

Oh, and I envy you your meeting with Rufus. I'm sure I'd be as equally tongue-tied if I were lucky enough to meet him.

[walt]

and to the Rooftop, Artisanlibra!

You're very lucky to have met Rufus in person that soon!

Henry Cavill is not amused. The others find it amusing.




Yes, Rufus, the fan thief.



Have fun on the Rooftop, Artisanlibra!

Welcome to the Rooftop!

My first encounter with Rufus was just like yours, in Tristan & Isolde, but all I did was commit the name of the handsome "Lord Marke" to memory. I only remembered it when "Pillars" was on TV - and Tom Builder absolutely hooked me!

Have fun in this lovely place.

Welcome! This is a lovely place where you can safely let out your inner Rufus fan girl.

Oh, you don't have to warn me about that!!  I'm already up to 33 dvds, 9 audiobooks, 1 radio play, 1 poster, and 2 signed photos...

I've actually been a fan of Rufus for a couple of years now...maybe...a year & a half at the least.  So, I've had time to garner quite the collection already!

PS - thanks for all the welcome messages so far!
