Thanks for posting! It will be interesting to see what effect it has for Mika!

Nice to be reminded again! I have such a great time here! MFC forever!

I think it probably is sold out, but have a look on ticketek and check... I only knew because I have all these people earmarked and have a membership for ticketek and ticketmaster, so I get emails.. yep, hence the 'gone wild!' Especially as Joe and Matchbox entail Sydney visits. And then Matchbox again in Canberra, which I found out about later (grrr) but could not pass it by... I'm feeling very broke!

Hey, watchoo talkin' about! I never did nuffin till Mika! It wasn't me, twas his bad influence! He made me do it! I bought the gear after I heard the live in Berlin and Milan audios, and I could not bear the thought that Mika might come and go and leave me without one of my own. So I got what one of the guys reccomended. That was the first concert I ever recorded, but now I've got the gear , I can't let it go to waste, can I?

Another off topic If any of you have ever seen an ecstatic toddler/kid turning them selves upside down in knots and paroxysms of laughter, then imagine a 6'2 lanky teenager doing it on the couch next to me! Yes, Good News Week is back, and I was laughing as hard at the wriggler as I was at he jokes he was finding so hilarious! It's a Good News Week, Someone dropped a bomb this year, Contaminate the atmosphere...tum tum (forgot the words!)

yep. That was his big hit... My husband liked him years ago and spread the joy to me, and we've gone to every concert he has ever done in Australia. It's lovely and easy to get tickets, even weeks after they go on sale, but the concerts are great, because everyone there is a hardcore fan. Bob Geldof too, we've gone to every concert he's ever done here. (I don't like Mondays! lol!) So, yes, I will be going to other concerts this year, and would be really happy about all of them if I wasn't making insane comparisons all the time. Torturing myself is definitely happening, and I could even stop it if I decided I wanted to... (Any one who wants audios of any of them, let me know. I will probably be wired for sound!)

Off topic I've finally been catching up with the gig threads from the US, and I'm feeling all the PMS again. The saddest thing is, I've spent the last week going wild and buying tickets to see Matchbox Twenty, James Blunt and Joe Jackson, and I have this insane urge to wait outside their gigs for hours beforehand, to catch them on the way in to the soundcheck, just so I can torment myself (more) with how they are not Mika, and how I wish I was at a Mika gig instead...

Oh, that is just excellent!!!! It cut out, and I'm going 'No!!!! I want more!!!!' Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Sivan, that's fabulous! It does make the waiting rather easier! Is there any chance of you making a high quality downloadable version this, ( and possibly other fantastic videos??) I could grovel obligingly and bring you jelly cakes and whipped cream?!!

Ok, finally did something useful and promised... For those interested, and thanks to Auruora for asking; here is the link to my photobucket which now has lots of quilt pictures on it! http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff315/mouselle/

I never liked the Eurythmics at the time, nor this song, but since Mika started doing their covers, I like them a lot more! Love the handiness of your beach Happikali! Hugs and valentines to all!

He does not follow current fashions - he says that, and we know that... Fashion Police is about who is in fashion - Answer - not Mika! He does it deliberately, out of choice. Why are you surprised? Yes he looks good, and I preferred Mika's clothes to what others were wearing. But current fashion is for simple, not heavily accessorised, and Mika was all about how many accessories can I cram on me, even to my shoelaces! ROFL He had an armful of bracelets, multiple necklaces, large scarf, not a simple minimised tie! He broke scads of the current fashion rules, and loked sinfully gorgeus doing it. Prince would be proud! Another thought - trend setters do not follow, they lead. Watch for future clues of Mika following! We'll know he's 'made it' when he gets imitiators!

Hi Humphrey! I've been keeping an eye on this thread because I am so proud of you all, and because I have had my own battles with weight! Things to try - Get busy - busy people have less time to think about temptation. Make it a happy busy, so it doesn't stress you, and so its more fun to be busy than to eat. I get creative, and start a new project, but planning an activity/outing/party might work. Try learnig a new skill, getting a new hobby, volunteering to help someone, anything! Poison couch games- make couch time a luxury, not a habit. If you plan to only sit for a few minutes, but find it tends to stretch into hours, don't sit on the couch! Sit on a less comfortable chair, set a timer (out of reach!) and do something with a built in time limit, like reading a magazine instead of a book, watching a short show you don't llike that much, with the remote out of reach! When you get to your feet out of irritation with remotes and alarms, you cannot sit down again until your next break! Take on the things you have been delaying and avoiding. Make them fun. Ask yourself - how can I do X and make it fun. For me that usually means music. My house gets cleaned to music, and I dance around like a loon, and have a fantastic time. My garden gets weeded to music. If for you it means chatting, then invite friends over for a housecleaning party, and move between everyone's houses. (OR rooms, if you are that lucky and don't have to clean the whole house!) Make phone calls busy - my freinds are resigned to the weird sounds they always hear while on the phone to me. I clean out cupboards, wipe down walls and doors, and do all the stuff that I just can't be bothered doing any other time. If I am on the phone, I have to either be cleaning, tidying or pacing up and down my hall. Phones and chairs do not mix! Get active - when you have thought of it - do it! If you think of it, and you can, then you MUST! An experiment made a thin person sit still, and they became fat. They made a fat person move and they became thin. They let them loose, and they reverted again. You are a thin person trapped in a meaty body. Don't let it slow you down - thin people move! The way to make a change stick, is decide what sort of a person is like that, and if you want it, then be like that too! If you are a fat person on a diet, it wears off. If you are a healthy person eating well - it will last a lifetime!

Hi y'all, found another i/v I like - here tis: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1113283&postcount=1

Hi Tiffany! This is a new interview with a bit more info on the sound of the second album. http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1101995&postcount=1 and this is a link to part of what will become a huge FAQ sticky for new members. I found it quite interesting... http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=413240&postcount=86

There's a nice Mika interview here for anyone who missed it. http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1097057&postcount=1 I'm with Happikali! Quit the bitching, and get back in the glitter room right now! "Spray on the glitter, fools!" Can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!

I'm sorry for your $3 loss, but my hopes were with Djokovic, so I am happy! But I also like Nadal, so I was sad then. Now there's this new bloke Tsonga, and I was going to be worried for either Federer or Djokovic against him! Poor Roger - in his post match interview he was asked if he had a favourite to win, and he said that he had no interest in the outcome... I think he was asked twice...

If you get stuck, try Unique Fitness gym in Melbourne - personal training equivalence at a cheaper price... Sorry for the ad, but I know the guy who runs it, and if I lived in Melbourne, I'd be going there. He left Canberra, and I was tempted to move just to follow my favourite trainer...

The robotic vacuum cleaner (Buggy Beast) gets the wall which is a virtual wall to block him from leaving the room before he finishes cleaning it. I have to pick up all the chairs and miscellanea and blockade him in a room until he is done... The virtual wall is a gadget which shoots out an infrared beam so Buggy Beast won't go past it... My cat leaves the room, and my dog lies in the middle of the room and winces when she is bumped in the tummy or the tail, but not enough to move! If I have to vacuum this house, it gets done once a week. Buggy Beast does it daily! Lazy is good!

Hey, I'm awake already! Just sorting robotic vacuum cleaners, my dog, my darling and my cat, with coffee, doors, bones and walls. Confused??? Yay! Also, somehow catching up on 2 days of forum takes a few hours, and I still turn up here on this thread to post once, then log off and vanish into RL for the day... Hi Freddie, hi Artsy, hi everyone! Now it's gym time - Bye!

Yippee for Paul and hopefully Julie and Mikey!

*dragging noises* *pause* *more dragging noises* (something heavy is being relentlessly dragged through the bush towards the verandah)…. *Thump* as a few heavy somethings land on the verandah (and don’t even ask how I got them up the steps…) Ok mates, I reckon you should have a gander at this little lot of bewdies! Now I heard that some of you slackers (glares) have been too busy to go out hunting for yourselves! So you just get busy with this lot, and we’ll say no more about it, right!

WOOT!

I read a lot of SF and fantasy, and there are a lot of different ideas about how time and paradoxes might work. My favourite and simplest is time as a river or stream, where a talented person/alien could move up or downstream at will, but most of us are caught up in the current and move with the flow, helplessly dragged. So all of the stream exists all the time, but each one of us only perceives where we are right now. And some people look back, wishing they could get back to that nice spot they passed, or can't forget the lousy place they seemed stuck in, etc. People like me are trying to swim faster to get to the good stuff ahead, but the current drags you at the same speed regardless...

ok, ok, no worship required! I've sent you a PM. I have no baby photos, so will have to stay with my usual pic. The earliest I have is one from aged 12, very tiny and black and white, which an uncle gave me last year, and then from about 15 yo. My parents had a house fire after I left home, but before I got copies of family snaps! I don't much mind, cos I live in 'now' not 'then'. Which probably explains why I did not already have photos before I left home.

He was not a brat! Just unwilling to do the red carpet thing in full, with standing and posing every two paces. One of the other people (celebrities) was obviously caught by surprise that there was a red carpet, and apologised for not being dressed better (... jeans and old clothes made her sound convincing ...) So I'm not sure how much info was included with the tickets, but the savvy ones know that red carpets happen at premeres of shows! [quote I just watched it. Didn't see no Mika. *grumbles* But it was craazzyyy all the same. Did anyone else watch it? There was some guy boomerang juggling hats, and mouth-juggling balls, and got knows what else. And weird buttock-kicking acrobats. Crazy stuff. I wish I went to that, I considered it ... but none of my friends did, lol. What we got on TV last night was what you wuld get if you bought the Varekai dvd. What Mika went to was the live performance which is in London at the moment. There was no chance of seeing Mika on tv. I saw it live in Canberra earlier this year, and I can imagine that Mika would have desperately wanted to see it, leapt at the free tickets, and paid the minimum price of red carpet time, but he was there to watch the show, not to be the show!
