Yes, I knew that (sorry, after you typed all of that!!). When I was on the thread there was a little bit of huffing and puffing, but nothing major. Was that to do with Jack Violet leaving?? He seemed ok a couple of days ago on that thread. Anyway, we all leave...and then come back. A-hem....

As opposed to clinging on to his leg for dear life?? Oh..wait a minute. Kath's already done that!!

Were you at the gig though? How is everyone? Do you ever 'see' Tootch or Mika Mad?

why are you watching from a distance??

OK am nosey. What are the ruptions and why has JV left?? Hi everyone by the way!

Who's D and what are we waiting for??? Am excited anyway!!

I don't want to go off topic or re-hash old conversations, but this video was truely appalling.

Was the worst video award for Big Girl? Cos..that would be well deserved...

I'm not going to comment on the whole wrist band situation, because I wasn't there and don't really know the truth of how they were handed out/who to etc. All I can say is it's great that you are so mature (even at 17) to sit back in the presence of your idol. However, in reality, that is not ever going to be the case in a large group of people - particularly women with their male idol. I'm sorry, but it was never going to end happily for everyone, and that is real life. Basically what they did was invite 70 women (excepting Freddie here!) who want to have sex with Mika into a small enclosed space with Mika in the middle. *knocks on Mika's curly topped head* HELLLLOOO???!!!!

Blue!!! Don't feel guilty!!! You wanted your photo taken with Mika and you got it, be happy. There will be another time when it won't happen for you and it WILL happen for these other people. That's life! Be happy xxx

I've read through this the last couple of days and had many an opinion, but haven't posted until I read this. How naive is Mika (and his management) to think that inviting 150 fans to a 'party' was going to work out??? Did they honestly think that everyone would chill out in groups of friends while Mika worked round the room like a bride at her wedding???????? Obviously people were going to crowd him and hound him til he had to leave. I'm not judging anyone who did that - because that's life, that's what you do when you are in a room with the object of your desire :naughty: Not saying it's right, and it must have been painful for Mika, but he's the one who wanted it to happen....no point in being disappointed with the fans (although I guess we don't know if he actually was). Reading this thread makes me glad that I'm just a 'regular fan' and not a hardcore MFC-er anymore. It's too tiring.

And you my dear. Sorry I missed Vicky tonight, but say hi to her from me. See all soon!

Kath, Blue, Sarah, Carri, Wendi, Sheena, it was really good to talk to you all again. Will try to pop on sometime soon! Off to sit by (real) roaring fire with my red wine and book! Rock and roll.

Ah, but that was pre-Internet. So not quite to the same extent!!!! Surely you can't compare Tom with Mika??!

Wow!! Seriously good line up! Although... Peter Andre! :roftl: :roftl: Would be a good laugh maybe, especially if he sings 'Insania'. Will email Leigh that link, she may be interested. Paul Young!

I was 12!! It was holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes in front of a roaring fire.

I know. But I did dedicate myself to them for about a year. That's thinking of Bobby G approximately every 3 minutes.

Is retrofest in ayrshire?? Oooh, I could stay at in-laws. Who else is playing?

See, that's where the 5 year age gap shows between you and me! By the time he had the crash I didn't give a monkeys. Well, that's teenagers for you! I was then into other things, and it all passed me by!

Nooooo! My friend Sheona liked Mike and I liked Bobby. Imagine if the internet existed in those days, and there were Bucks Fizz forums!!!! We were in the fan club, but it was just mailings, signed photos and such. Despite the many, many letters we wrote to the fan club secretary - Gay Purle. God, it seems like yesterday!!

Let me try that again.

Jeez, check out the bank manager in the middle!

Tell me more!!! I saw Howard Jones at the Apollo years ago. Most boring gig I've ever been to.

Well...Bobby G fell out with Mike Nolan, not sure why, so he (Bobby) went and formed his own Bucks Fizz - then Mike and Cheryl got cross and went to the courts etc. However, the Bucks Fizz that does the cabaret circuit now is the one with Bobby G. There is some other version with David Van Day - not sure if it's the same one as Bobby's - he could be the replacement Mike Nolan. Don't know what Cheryl and Mike are doing now, but I know they are good friends. Sigh. I need a life. I shouldn't know these things.

Making Your Mind Up. Although my personal fave is Land of Make Believe!
