I was wondering the same thing; he has such long legs... I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't be too amused to have somebody's muddy boot in my face! Mika or no Mika! I wonder how much experience Mika has at organising Hen parties...

That'll be an interesting conversation- how to dress a Teddy Bear!!

I think thats very thoughful of you...so thanks..

Tell me about it!! I still feel like I should do something...but I'm not very inventive like that or creative for that matter...

Oh no!! I had no idea people are giving presents!! I wasn't thinking of doing anything like that...!?!

And is this one of them???

Ummm...you may be onto something there

Thank you, I just replyed. I can't keep up with this messaging lark! I haven't heard if anyone else is going- Anyone heard from Meimei88?, I know she went for the screen test with her friend Tarek, also Giftedand challenged...any news there?? I was thinking that anyone who went for the screen test got offered tickets- but not so sure now???

I know it says "outdoor theme", but I don't know how that affects ideas for costume- outdoor just suggests coats and hats...but then I'm not very imaginative like that!! I suppose any effort for dressing up is appreciated...

But its forcasted to rain though!!!!

As with all of Mika's gigs fancy dress is encouraged and the theme is 'outdoor party'. This is what was in the email...what do you make of it??

To answer your question Curly (I think Sara's just missed your post due to being totally exhilirated at the prospect of seeing Mika, understandable as it is!!!!) yes Sara is taking Bexxy, I'm taking my colleague- I think Kath is going with her daughter- that's as far as I know!!

He! He!

Oooh I forgot we have our very own Tour Guide for Manchester!! Are your services availble 24hrs???...and last minute...seeing as we won't know till the actual day itself...

Hello Kath!!! Have you decided how you're getting there, place you're staying at???

Sorry, just realised I wasn't refreshing the page so didn't know you were posting!! Should be fine if we stick together!! Britannia Sacha's it is...

My train gets in around 1:00pm...I wonder if Sara has got anywhere with her plans on getting there??

Ok, I just read about Patrick's hand visiting some place in a public display of?? ...whatever its supposed to be...Yuck!! In any case I didn't "witness" it (thank God!) so can't really comment on the context that it was supposed to be taken in ... As for writing skills, if we're comparing...I agree with Kata, Patrick's hand at writing, (that is!!) is much more amusing to read then Mika's...I didn't see it as rambling, as he was being descriptive of his surroundings and his thoughts, perhaps lacking in being definite- but that doesn't translate as being pointless- it seemed to be more personal...whereas Mika's thoughts weren't transparent or personal or even amusing to read; it was well written but just boring I suppose… He won't give anything away that boy!! There were also comments on Patrick's performances mimicking Mika's- I don't agree with it, but I would say that both their performances are elaborate, colourful and entertaining in that way. As I said I didn't see Patrick's performance at Glastonbury, but I have seen his videos- and he has his own style of performance having been perfected over the last couple years. This man is very articulate, talented and has had his own struggles, which he has overcome. Read his blogs on myspace- they are thoughtful, intelligent, full of insight, honest, reflective…I could go on… His music on the other hand I can’t really get into apart from Magic position that is…

I'm using "laterooms.com"- not sure whether to find something near Piccadilly station (where my train gets in and leaves from)...have you found anything yet, Bexxy? I think we should try to meet up before the gig (at 6:30pm, I think Arianna said)...

Hello there people, Big Girl's are on now....

ok, I'm late with this...I'm at work (I gave my work email, which I can only access from work..Duh!!) and yes I got an email to say I haven't won the competition but I have 2 tickets to the gig!!!! I feel so sick with anticipation here... They will only tell you the details of where its being held on the day itself- so we could be wondering around Manchester without a clue in the world.... I have asked my colleague, who's going to check if she can go... How cool is that??!! My only problem is that I have to find somewhere to stay that night...

Ok now I have a reason to get this version of the album!! But I'm not too sure about the lyrics... we, MFC'ers, are pretty sure that Mika himself posted here to guide us re: "Fork out my daylight" well we're as convinced as we'll ever be!!

You're both very welcome:thumb_yello: This is a really thoughtful, in-depth analysis of the track. You both point out the contrasting nature of the lyrics against the tone or mood of the music... Yes it does demonstrate Mika's talent at song writing... (I feel like a school teacher here:bleh: )

Hi there Pamette, I couldn't help noticing that you spell Mika with a "c"...at first I thought it might be a mistake, but did you know that Mika changed the spelling from Mica to Mika, because most of the time it would be mis-pronounced ?

Hi there, I thought the same thing when I heard Relax, take it easy. It was written in the aftermath of the bombings that took place in London July 7th 2005...Mika had nothing to do since the tube network was brought to a standstill, so he sat down and wrote about it. It could be a love affair in that setting??? See this thread for other discussions... http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1627
