RAK1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Before!!! O.K. That would be while we were dealing with Cynthia's cases. It took ages. Weren't you with us Rose? The car was very crowded. We watched him struggle to fold himself into the back seat of the car. And we thought about, but did not follow. We waved. No, my car was around the front of the venue, which is funny, 'cause earlier in the day we dropped Andy off around the back, and it never dawned on me to park there later on:boxed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I didn't know that. I was in the same boat. I'd just found out Mika's name, Googled him and found the tour dates and the nearest one was 35 miles away. I just never thought that I could go. Much, much too old. But s.o. persuaded me and I have not looked back Morning! chickadee. how are you? I should say "Evening Ruth", shouldn't I? I'm good, just trying to read back and see what I missed... Er... that's because it is from the Crowded House song Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickadee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I reading back and keep giggling over the W.O.W interjections that Laurel keeps sticking in. I don't play W.O.W Laurel, just Warcraft 2, occasionally a bit of mindless violence seems to be just the ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 This is the dress I bought. Except that it's longer and quite slimming. And, in my head anyway, nicer than it looks here. http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B0017U9Z8K/sr=1-7/qid=1213395288/ref=sr_1_7/026-2511429-6383639?ie=UTF8&node=&m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&keywords=&mnSBrand=core&size=9&rh=n%3A73157031%2Cp%5F4%3APer%20Una&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 s.o. is 'someone' (e.o. everyone, a.o. anyone and n.o. no-one) Ah. Never seen that before actually. So who was the s.o. that got you going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ah. Never seen that before actually. So who was the s.o. that got you going? Oh, I was being lazy and very decadent and I'd hired a cleaning lady. And she kept saying 'buy tickets, go, get tickets, you'll enjoy it' and so on. And so I did, and she was right. I was the oldest person there but it didn't matter. And it doesn't, does it? (And later I had to sack her because she kept breaking things and not owning up, but I will always be grateful to her for pushing me into this madness.)

I keep forgetting it's summer there, even with people talking about going swimming and having to water the lawns and temperatures above 20 degrees. It looks lovely and cool.

Do you think you would be less Mika mad if you hadn't gone to that first gig? And did you go by yourself? Were you already on MFC then? sorry, just got questions running through my head. If you went by yourself I think you're very brave. I would probably go to a Mika gig by myself but I already know MFC'ers on here, so I wouldn't be by myself for long (provided I could find everyone!)

I keep forgetting it's summer there, even with people talking about going swimming and having to water the lawns and temperatures above 20 degrees. It looks lovely and cool. I'm going to Egypt in August and it will be sweltering. I took one dress to Sardinia for a week and I needed two, so I reckon I'll need three for two weeks. By the way, I'm only watering the lawns because they are brand new turf - one 3 weeks ago, one last Saturday. It isn't a drought or a heatwave, not by a long way.

chickadee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 He was really sweet that night, hard not to warm to him, he is really charming, can't believe he isn't aware of the effect he has:blush-anim-cl:. Got back to this bit... Do you think he really doesn't know the effect he has? And I'm asking seriously, since you're the one who's talked to him...

I would probably go to a Mika gig by myself but I already know MFC'ers on here, so I wouldn't be by myself for long (provided I could find everyone!) I guess I would be less Mika mad. Part of the fun is feeling that I was in near the start of the roller coaster ride. I took my daughter to the one in Leeds so she could make me behave. I met up with Freddie and a few others but they ended up being kept out. We waited in the rain afterwards in the wrong place! For the Manchester TBA secret gig I went on my own but it's only 12 miles away. I met yuppymunch, bab, and jemma. And kath and Abby. We had a ball. Then in November I went to Manchester Apollo with people from work; I dragged Joy to Doncaster but I went to Brixton on my own. I knew Em' who had a ticket for me (and a bed for the night) because we'd met in Paris. But she was a MFC friend. I felt quite brave yet giddy with the excitement of it.

That's what's so great. We al have this Mika - love in common, so no matter what we're like, it's an instant bond. It's odd for me as I'm not so sociable in RL. But I seem to have developed a new persona and it's great fun. Rose gave Andy a lift? Still not quite up to speed with the night's conversation... This was back in November. I think Andy needed taking somewhere (s.w.) I don't know how Rose knew but she volunteered. Is Egypt a holiday or work or something else? (And where's Sardinia? Sorry to air my complete and utter lack of geographical knowledge in here but I blame being Australian) Egypt is going to be a holiday. I don't know why - I guess it's an empty nest thing - but Rob decided to take the padlocks off the family purse. Before this, we'd look at the price of - say - a meal and however cheap it was, when multiplied by 5 it was a lot, so we've done shoestring holidays for years. camping and caravanning in France. But this year it's Egypt. And Sardinia? You know how Italy kicks Sicily into the Mediteranean? Well Sardinia is the big island just over Sicily.
