The new website looks great. I'm an old enough member to recall the old orange-based layout. This looks really cool.

It's my birthday today.

Hi there. I haven't used this bit before. I'm doing okay. Hope you all are too!

Popular Song is great. I hope that people who are seeing the vid on YT are getting to know Mika again. Especially UK ppl.

Yes, Mika needs to sort out some publicity in the UK, some TV appearances would be good.

I am so thrilled that you are English. We are few and far between on this forum now. The problem is that Mika doesn't do anything here atm. I even wish he'd go on some reality show, just to let Britain see him again and know that he is still alive, making music etc. How did you come to know about him? I'm really curious! I hope other UK people are also getting to know him again.

I live in Sale, near Manchester. Where do you live?

Hi there. I've accepted your friend request. Where do you come from? Your name sounds very English, or American.

Hi again. I did keep looking at the site, for news, but Good Guys got me logging in again. I must admit, I'm glad to be back. I've missed everyone, and of course, Mika.

I still hope for a comeback in the UK.

You're welcome!

Hi there. I've accepted your friend request. Thank you for asking me. Stay golden.

Love from Marilyn

We should see if there's any room at the house belonging to this guy called Mika Penniman. He should have plenty of rooms, as long as we avoid the ones he uses for Boum Boum Boum.

We're going to see if we can make it. It's just the expense of staying the whole weekend. We'll have to see what hotel would be not too expensive for us.

Thank you for telling me. The problem with it being a weekend, is that there is always engineering work on the railway lines. We came once, on Saturday, and didn't get there until 4pm. Coming home was a nightmare too, on the Sunday.

The only thing we could do, is go on Friday and stay until Monday. We'd have to see how expensive it would be to stay 3 nights.

We'll certainly consider it.

Hi there. Yes I do feel happier now. I have downloaded the single and I am excited to see it getting popular in Europe. It's been hard realizing he's not going to be top in UK, but I've accepted it now.

I'd love to meet fans in London if there's a get together. I really appreciate the MFC, even more so now, because it keeps me up to date with Mika and his exploits abroad. We're not going to have a gig to look forward to, yet, so a get together would be brilliant. Love from Marilyn

Hi there Molly! I don't know if you got my message, but if it didn't get through to you, I just want to say that if you have any questions, or need any help with something on the forum, I am a rep for England, and would be happy to help you.

I hope you are enjoying the MFC. Love from Marilyn

You're welcome!

I'll head over to the thread now. Glad it went well.

I hope it's okay. I look forward to hearing about how it went. Love from Marilyn

Yes Fran, of course.

I am Marilyn Mastin. I am 59 years old (60 in August)

I've had Prosopagnosia all my life, the cause of it, suspected of being due to my Tuberous Sclerosis. My Tuberous Sclerosis was diagnosed when I was 45 years old, after having a brain scan, but they said my calcium deposits were old, so I'd had it all my life. My Prosopagnosia was diagnosed 3 years ago, after I learned about it from a TV program, took a test and presented the results to my doctor, who looked into the condition, and then diagnosed me.

If you need more info, please let me know. Good luck! Love from Marilyn

Yes, it's doing well. I think we've done a really good thing. Love from Marilyn

Hi there again. I don't even know what PDF is. Opening the thread is about as much as I can do. My computer skills are practically non-existent.

I just tend to post links to the various websites I find. Also, if anyone posts a video, my android tablet won't acknowledge embedded videos, so it's helpful if people also post the YouTube link, or link to wherever the video is from.

People are starting to post on the site. I'm very happy with how it's going. Stay golden. Love from Marilyn

Hi there again. I'm glad you like the thread. I'm just going to post another link there.

Hi again Francesca. The thread is active in the General Chin Wagging section of the forum. I already posted the Wikipedia site link.

I'll post more tomorrow.

Yes Fran, I've been waiting for you to be finished with the exams. I expected it to take a while.

I'll go onto the General Chin Wagging section, and open the thread right away, after I've copied the link for the Prosopagnosia website, so I can post it. Any other info we can post as we go along. Others might have info to post as well.

See you on the thread. Love from Marilyn.

To be honest, it's none of our business, what he does. We don't own him. I'm very fed up with the negative attitude. I respect other views, but some act like he's commented a crime. Thank you for the lovely response to my post. Stay golden. Love from Marilyn

I think the people who left, did so when nothing much was happening. There was so much happening in 2007. Mika was constantly touring and being interviewed a lot. Of course he couldn't have kept up that pace.

Then we had a time when nothing happened, so I think a few left then.

It's easier for me, as I don't work due to disability. For me it's something to do and it's nice to talk to different people about Mika, as in normal life, people hardly ever know who he is.

So I've stayed with MFC. I can't believe I've been here nearly 7 years.
