I kinddda understood the bottles thing - they do it alot at football matches or make you at least remove the lids because they can be used as missiles and are very heavy when full. But the lollipops???? - ok possibility of minor injury, but they took them off us at the door then we were given lollipops inside by lollipop girl!!!!!!!

The second queue thing was a disgrace! I recognised some people in front of me from that queue, most of whom turned up at about 6.30!. and they put the sign advertising the offer way back down the street where only the people at the back of the queue could see it!!! They said that these people had spent more money at the venue and so could therefore join the queuejumpers queue, so by that logic the more drunk you were the more welcome you were!!!!

And as for the lighting, I fell down the stairs and hurt my back! I wanted merchandise but couldn't see the stand on the way in and was hearded out in the other direction afterwards, by the time I pursuaded a security bloke to let me back in, the stand was gone! - I wanted to spend money and they wouldn't let me!!!!

As for the smoking - I am an evil smoker but wouldn't dream of lighting up in such a confined area and with flammable stuff everywhere and with kids around!. Here in Wales we already have the smoking ban in place and this is the first time I agree wholeheartedly with it!!!

Although there were 1 or 2 nice bouncers (and a lovely man who worked there who kept coming out and giving us a progress report) most were rude and very ungracious especially the man who shut the loading bay door on us without even warning us ("this is just the loading bay, Mika isn't coming out this way" - oh really... and where did he come from then????) and the bar bloke who told me off for having a toe over the bar threshold, when I was just trying to tell freddie his drinkie in a plastic cup was there!

Mika - you insist on your own terms for the music, artwork etc - now start insisting the gigs are done your way too, or you will take your increasing revenue and friendly fans somewhere they feel more appreciated!!!

Ok rant over!

I still had a fantastic time, with some fantastic people.

Yeh he did say that , I remember shouting why on earth would they take lollipops??? , he a cool guy , superb to meet him , hes very down to earth

 

I still love the po to toe when the pics were being taken!

He was totally brilliant and very approachable. And his mum and dad are wonderful such nice friendly people.

He mentioned the lollipops in the middle of the concert too, i would have loved to have seen the mean security mens faces when he said it!! LOL

Freddie why does it say chicken machine ready to reload on your lyrics - thought it was sex machine ready to reload? or are you still dreaming about thursday night???? LOL

Um.. was that the one when they got kicked out.. or was that leeds.. -confused-

No - kicked out was leeds

Shepherds bush the security people, pushed fans out of the way and wouldn't allow the fans near him. From what he was telling us on Thursday, he has been very dissappointed with the venue security people, he said he promised us it wasn't any of his team who were heavy handed at any of the gigs, and please don't be cross with him!

I don't remember a little boy - only two little girls (the one in the yellow dress is the directors daughter I think called Holly Muller). Apparently many of the people in the video are friends of his family. He said in an interview once that the older women towards the end are friends who are always visiting his parents house - the dark haired lady is Raffa (another lebanese refugee friend) who also appears coming out of a cake in Love today - she is the lady who talks about her life (loosing her eye in the bombings) on Life in Cartoon Motion.

OMG - There was me thinking that I blended in rather well, completely inconspicuous!!!!

One of the largest photos of me on the world wide web and I look like a gormless scary person - there goes twenty years of quality education down the drain! Thanks for that Jennie!

I think at the time pic was taken me and paula.pop were watching the staircase, to see who was coming out of VIP area - we had spotted Mika peering around there earlier! :shocked:

Relax - video from last night. Sadly it's on it's side you will have to tip you head up to watch it!! - I'm not liable for sore necks afterwards!

New phone - had it up the wrong way - doh! :doh:

I'm so pround of this photo haha

Brilliant photo, braces are suppose to keep your trousie up not help pull em down!

Now why didn't he throw those sweaty undies into the crowd?????? - mass riot anyone?

Now we just want Mr and Mrs Penniman to put their videos and piccies of us up for us to see - pppllleeeeeaaaassee:biggrin2:

Not sure why I was apologising to jennie - apart from her being the luckiest girl alive, taking this picture meant I missed the photo op of the night with mika shirtless!!!!!!!

Nicole was in a state of shock - its a good job we can see both of her hands!! LOL:roftl:

Oh no just realised.......we can't mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

HM.. Nicole looks very happy XD

Nicole was in a state of shock - its a good job we can see both of her hands!! LOL:roftl:

l-r RAK1 (well half of her!), Blue (orange neck thingy), Kata (blonde hair), Freddiesdouble, not sure about bloke behind, MIKA, security guard, Mikamad, Nicole - oh and ME in the front with pink wig!!

hahah i now see what cathy means about Mika wanting to protect himself from your tiara :roftl:

Not sure it was my tiara he was worried about!!!!!!!!! :roftl:

Somebody could have warned me how silly i looked

 

 

I must have been Mad

We made the ticket touts day - they called us royalty!!!

nipped back quickly (kids like burnt tea - honest!):

Sorry some are very blurry - lots of jumping happening and a poor phone camera.

Apologies to Jennie - just as I tried to take photo, confetti machine started and scared life out of me!

must try and catch up with this thread!

Had I left when you all had that pic with Mika?! Or was I just bouncing around somewhere along the road hahahah I seriously couldn't keep still when I came outside

Ha Ha Jennie, not sure where you'd got to - you were floating somewhere in Mikaland

WOW - what a fabulous night. Hia to all the MFCers you are a brilliant bunch, it's nice to put faces to names. I have just got home tired but totally wound up, haven't had time to catch up on the postings yet so I apologise if I'm repeating stuff!! Congrats to Jennie - you had such a massive smile on your face last night you will be high on that for weeks!!! The gig was brilliant and Mika coming out afterwards to chat to us was awesome - He actually recognised me from the crowd - he said he saw me "giving it some" on my album cover he signed he put "thanks for edging (egging) me on from the front" and drew a little halo/question mark over his picture. What a sweetie. I gave him a necklace my girls had made for him and he said it was cool and was going to wear it - so look out for a coloured cirle (hama) necklace - I want pics if spotted!). Said that he hoped to see some of us for the video shoot (said he couldn't understand why everyone told not to come - probably cos they had thousands of emails!) - new single gonna be Big Girls!!

I've got some more photos but these are just 3 of the fan club gang for now.

Sorry about the quality - phone camera not brill quality and has no flash loving The MFC gang with MIKA (thats me at the bottom in the front with pink wig - falling over and loosing my tiara, think Mika is scared with me down there - seems to be protecting himself , cant think why??!!!LOL!) and freddies close up with MIKA

will post more when I have calmed down a bit and picked kids up from school. Looking forward to my daughters reaction to a personal autograph I got for her (she couldn't come to gig so Mika signed her unused ticket).

Love to all

speak later

Ok i hope everyone doesnt Mind about me doing this But been as its Mika's last venue in the Uk tour i have had a mad rush around and made something for us all to give to Mika ...its a portrait thing and if you find me tomorow ...(it wont be hard to miss me)...i would like you to write a small message on the back of it ...that is if your all ok with this idea i know its really short notice but i havent heard anything about Stephs plan in a previous thread and this is just a plan B i guess.

 

I will post a picture in a second let me know what you all think ok

Pic looks great Bex, Count me in for signing!

Hope Stephs ok, she wasn't feeling well yesterday, maybe she's having a good rest so she's fighting fit tomorrow. (((hugs and lemsip))))) 4 steph

OOOhhh poor security guards, it's not their fault. I'm sure they are lovely people:sneaky2: in real life. It's just that the frequency on their radio addles their brains, those big puffy jackets are hot, and those important looking keys and laminated badges (only for the spechul ones) are very very heavy. They have to go on spechul people courses an everythin'!

You would be grumpy too seeing all these happy people in happy, bright colours all having fun - when you are only allowed to wear black and look like your cats just died

absolute power corrupts, absolutley!

I'll be at the bull at 3 (I hope!) - just aiming for the big round building (rotundra or whatever its called) - think thats where the bull is!
