    Wait, what about the cheese?! 🧀 

     

    We can't have a French party without cheese! 😁

     

    How about some fresh and stinky Epoisses?

    A little more choice. Bagsy the Port Salut!

    And for after dinner drinks, the Butterfly 🦋 Lounge has stocked up with French specialities, so take your pick of a Pastis, Absinthe, Grand Marnier, Cognac, Chartreuse or whatever your heart desires.

    think he keeps saying that she drew this when she was so ill that she couldn't write anymore? Which doesn't make sense, as she actually did write "May your head always bloom" on it?!

    I think he means she couldn't use a pen to write, so she did it on the iPad his sisters had got for her so she could still communicate.

    A symphonic show in Orange, France, on 23 June: https://www.ledauphine.com/culture-loisirs/2023/12/06/mika-en-concert-symphonique-le-23-juin-au-theatre-antique ... wow, if that is true, that's another one I'd LOVE to see! :wub2:

    Mentioned here too... fingers crossed, any symphonic is good for me! :cloud:

    I don’t think I saw these before?! Especially not the 2nd one, I’m sure I’d remember turning my phone around to see him right side up, and i’d def remember this suit.

    I really don’t think I’ve seen these photos BUT if I did and don’t remember it’s because of his foot. :blink: My brain definitely would have blocked it from my memory. Why isn’t he wearing a normal shoe XD

    I... I never noticed his shoe in that picture before. :blush:

    He got quite emotional when he talked about how the English press treated him at the beginning, you can tell that it still moves him. :tears: If I understood it correctly, he even said that he thought it was his fault that they wrote such homophobic things about him.

    You understood it right.

     

    As an English fan, it is shameful how the British press treated him, and were allowed to treat him. It makes my blood boil. :furious: This was just before the phone hacking scandal broke, and the press thought they were untouchable. One whiff of weakness from their victims and they piled in like sharks on a feeding frenzy. But to operate so brazenly, there was a wider cultural mindset that accepted it, and that is horrendous. He is right that it would not be allowed now, but that it ever happened at all is both heartbreaking and infuriating. He deserved better, and Britain let him down. 😞

    So many misheard lyrics in this one :doh: Even tho my brain knows he’s not singing “douche douche douche” or “ambush my tushié” my mouth keeps singing it

    There's the English slang word 'tush' meaning buttocks or butt, and occasionally when I listen to this song I can't help but hear "tush tush tush, touche my tushy"    :facepalm:

    You know, I never really considered that Mika might have a bushy tushy. Was it missed in the manscaping? :facepalm: :lol3:

  8. Update, heard from vets, blood test came back ok, nothing in her liver enzymes, kidney slightly raised but not as high as previously. As she's practically back to normal now, eating, drinking, no vomiting, toilet normal, they've advised keep her on hypoallergenic diet for now, and redo the kidney profile alongside a urine test in 2-3 months time to get a clearer picture of if/how that's progressing. Otherwise, she's looking good, and they're very happy. As am I! She was adorable this morning. I have my cat back! ❤️

    Well, this concert is so beautiful (OOL :swoon:) that it hurts me, doesn't that count?

     

    Had to turn on desktop browsing to see the sig. Stunning, I agree, in fact that was my pic on here for a while. :naughty:

     

    Not sure if it's what you meant, but that is from LT, not OOL. Blue suit, grabby hands, flamenco and drumming. :lustslow: :swoon:

    I like that this subtly implies that I have sinned elsewhere.

    Well I pointed out that "un slow" is not a common abbreviation for slow dance and if you were to swap this with the opposite meaning adjective, it would be apparent that he is in fact talking about an activity that is similar to dancing but not at all the same.

     

    As for cleaning, I think this represents all of us quite well:

    I can actually hear that gif. It's very fitting. :lol3:

    Mika started it! He did write the lyrics after all!

    Excuses. You know what he's like and should be better prepared.

    oooh haven’t been here in ages! 
    when will Mika be joining us here? 

    He won't. He knows of your licentiousness and is staying well away.

    Exactly! He’s the one corrupting the lyrics threads with his lyrics about butts and doing “stuff” to them

    Ibid.

    I just wanna point out that I refuse to be dragged to the same levels as @TinyLove_CJ who told me not to google something which led to google showing me a page full of specific p***. (You can't tell me NOT to google something!)

    Anyway I suppose it was only a matter of time after listening to touche touche on repeat since Friday... What exactly am I supposed to do here? It's my first time (I will refrain from phrasing that differently in order to redeem myself).

    You confess your sin (the one that landed you here, anyway) and then you reflect as you clean clean CLEAN the thread until it's as sparkling clean as your newly cleansed mind.

    Hi! Hi! I….arrived! When does the party start?

    (actually I didn't get here on my own. Some guys with whips blindfolded and handcuffed me and…)

     

    PS Kreacher I love your video more than words can say. That Mika moment is the hottest thing I have seen him do, though for me the best part is the drum solo. That face…that intensity….

     

    (I'm sorry, QBF cannot write any more at the moment. She has slumped into her chair and we are fanning her)

    I think I have something here... Hang on... Oh yes...
