The 'Silly Sausage' managed to hit himself in the mouth with his microphone during 'Love Today' and cut his lip .... Jules came over all Mumsy and gave him a tissue

I'm really quite looking forward to this now, seems like ages since we've seen MIKA singing live (well I suppose it has been really) Did anyone else from here manage to wrangle tickets ? .... I know what a resourceful bunch you can be where MIKA is concerned

How did you guess? Thank you

What a lovely pic to remind you all of a wonderful experience, thanks for sharing.

When you think about how much joy he brings us all, it was nice to give just a little bit back and give him something that made HIM happy.

Grrrrrrr, the same thing happened to us at the last Brighton gig and we vowed never to go to that venue again. What makes it worse is I suspect the door staff do it on purpose, as some sort of power trip. It's not rocket science to get people into a hall in the order they were queued up outside, they just can't be bothered. Really sorry you had to go through that Babs, hope you still managed to get an 'ok' spot (Virtual hugs)

The moment we handed over Minimika has turned up on youtube Look at his little face, just like a child with a new toy. A big THANK YOU to the person who uploaded it and also to lyli21 who sent us the link

Thanks again Neactegale for posting your M & G pics, you've captured the moment really well. By the way, just how cool was his jacket with the little clear plastic 'windows' on the cuffs Another funny moment I forgot to mention was after the show when Jules asked one of the security men to pick up 2 feathers from the other side of the barrier (Dr John's coat was moulting) he looked at us like we were from another planet....lol

Glad you enjoyed yourselves (hope my big head being in the way didn't spoil your enjoyment too much:blush-anim-cl: )

Fantastic night to finish off a fantastic weekend (we saw Lady Gaga at the O2 on Saturday night) We arrived at about 1.15 and got numbers 66 & 67 in the queue, then got the chairs out of the car and prepared for the long cold wait for the doors to open at 7.00 (and it was cold......VERY COLD) After a while John came out and told us that once the staff arrive at around 4.00 he had arranged for those MFC'ers who had been there the longest to queue inside for the last few hours. As it turned out the staff didn't let us in until nearer 5.00 o'clock but it was certainly appreciated. We soon warmed up once inside and it was lovely to be able to sit on the floor and chat amongst ourselves. It also gave us a chance to see the Big Girls and Lollypop Girls being put through their paces through the inner doors. I'm not sure how much credit John gets on here for what he does for us all but I have to say I for one feel very lucky to have someone so thoughtful looking out for us. At about 6.40 we attempted to line up in number order before being allowed to go through to the next doors, pretty sure the order wasn't quite right but once we went through it turned into a wide queue at the next doors which was more of a free for all, so the numbers were pretty much out of the window by now as the queue was as wide as it was deep. We stood behind 4 girls on the left hand side and luckily the member of staff checked our tickets while we were waiting so once the doors opened he let us straight though. We followed Rose and headed for the left hand side of the front row and managed to get a really good spot. Given the fact we were numbers 66 and 67 we didn't expect to get front row but I guess this makes up for Brighton when we were about the 6th to arrive but ended up around row 10.....call it karma. The gig itself was amazing, MIKA's voice is stronger than ever, with so signs of strain from what must be an intensive tour for him. Don't know what it was but he seemed to really have a twinkle in his eye last night and was really going for it. He made reference to the technical problems and thanked the audience to just going with the flow and being supportive. I thought the crowd was amazing last night, I looked over my shoulder in Billy Brown and I think every single arm was waving....quite a sight. Once the show was over we made our way to the M&G line as some of you will know we had a little gift we have been trying to give to MIKA but missed him at the Alan Carr show. We call him Minimika..... Success !!! we managed to give it to him and he loved it, Jules noticed someone was filming his reaction when he got it so if it was an MFC'er and they are reading this, please could you upload the clip, we'd love to see it. BIG thank you to everyone in the queue before and after the show who helped to make our evening so special, we thought Gaga would take some beating but our Sunday night was even better than the Saturday. Totally awesome weekend (now to catch up on some sleep)

It was YOUR conversation I was talking about...lol (I was earwigging)

yeah, I remember him talking about Bill Nighy and the screensaver, he said he'd know him for quite a few years (don't know why but I was surprised by that...lol) Having trouble watching your vlog though, part 6 freezes for me at 2:34

Awww, thanks Babs. To be honest, most of the time for us (like yourself) the M & G is just about getting a chance to thank him. Last night though, we really wanted to get Jules' promo signed (the one of the album before they changed the name to TBWKTM) I'd even made a special trip into town the day before to buy a new GAWLDEN pen especially but it was certainly worth it, as we were really pleased with the result...one to treasure.
