bonzaboy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi all. =] Won't be spending too much time online tonight, since I'm way too tired. I spent the vast majority of last night laying tracks for my music composition piece. It's done now, so the night is all mine! =D If you order through play.com, they have a limited number of signed copies of the standard CD Yeah, but they're only available in Europe/UK, I believe... Well, I might be a bit slow with this info, but it looks like Oz will be getting the new album before other places (but Japan is first on Sept 16th )Release date 18th September: http://getmusic.com.au/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=59574&aid=15376 Ohh, awesome! =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soangel Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Have you ever opened up the laptop and serviced Mike yourself? Or is it under warranty?? It could be as bad as mine where you undo all the screws and still can't get it open enough to properly clean out the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelzy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, I might be a bit slow with this info, but it looks like Oz will be getting the new album before other places (but Japan is first on Sept 16th )Release date 18th September: http://getmusic.com.au/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=59574&aid=15376 Aww.. Do we feel thpethial now? Yeah, but they're only available in Europe/UK, I believe... No surprises there. You could ask someone to get one for you and send it over.. If you are desperate enough? It could be as bad as mine where you undo all the screws and still can't get it open enough to properly clean out the fan You undo all the screws? Teegs! Don't undo all of Mike's screws! He'll just come back with a vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzaboy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It could be as bad as mine where you undo all the screws and still can't get it open enough to properly clean out the fan Haha, I remember the first time I did mine by myself. I'd done my desktop PC before, but the screws are all different lengths in my laptop, and I put some in the wrong holes. So now my laptop has a massive crack near the touchpad. That'll teach me! lol So yeah, a word of advice if you plan on DIY- remember where each screw came from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, I might be a bit slow with this info, but it looks like Oz will be getting the new album before other places (but Japan is first on Sept 16th )Release date 18th September: http://getmusic.com.au/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=59574&aid=15376 Woohoo!!! Thanks BS. Although I've been and looked at the album on this site and it doesn't have Loverboy listed:thumbdown: I was really hoping we would get it:crybaby: So maybe I'd be better off ordering from overseas.... Although it does say that if you pre-order you get a special digital insert. Whatever that is:dunno: LOL! You need to add a "f*ckin" in there somewhere since Mika is less 2thousand&polite7 and more 2thousand&f*ckin9 now. I think the reality is that we'll know about it via twitter or Mikasounds before MFC will tell us anything, even if they know something.. Could you just start planning everything in late September?? And leave dates down to when it's announced. We really should get 4 weeks. Otherwise, you'll just have to piss in the wind like the rest of us. Good idea. *summons Rose* Well, firstly we should forget about a jar of vegemite, but we could try and get some vegemite merch.. Anything fluffy that involves sticking batteries up it's clacker is perfect for Mika. I remember Christine saying the Canadians gave Mika an all access pass or smth to Canada. We should do that, but make it suggestive.. I'm betting we hear on twitter first. Mika has trouble keeping his mouth shut sometimes. Ewww! Choice analogy. I guess I'll just do the best I can. We could always get a typical cliched fluffy koala that plays Waltzing Matilda or Advance Australia Fair or something? When I lived in Perth, the tourist shops always had heaps of this kind of thing and they made me cringe like you wouldn't believe. Otherwise, there are some really cute Australian toys that don't have have batteries.... My daughter has an echidna, a tasmanian tiger,....... WAIT a minute! Remember?? He likes Tassie Devil! Perhaps we could get non-WB tassie devil stuff? I'll keep thinking on this... Might have a brainwave. *is very tempted to dredge up the old threads and read what we were thinking of doing last time* It could be as bad as mine where you undo all the screws and still can't get it open enough to properly clean out the fan You mean there are fans in these things that need cleaning?

You did..... or near enough all of them. I'm too slack to do anything myself. I actually need to take it in somewhere to get it cleaned... You mean there are fans in these things that need cleaning? Ya huh.. they attract dust, and the more dust the less they work, and then you get overheating problems, like my ones has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_collard Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Mother of the Year award goes to me- I forgot Bailey had a dentist appointment this afternoon until they rang me half an hour after I was supposed to be there (helpful!!) So now I have to take him back at an inconvenient time next week. No one to blame but myself..... Nice one *gigglesnort* Hhmm ... well, I've only started thinking about it again (after recent encouragement here) ... but I guess if Mika is coming here 'sometime in November' .. I would want to have it/them well underway by the start of November . I have a few different ideas rolling around my head atm ... & it's times like this that I wish I lived closer to a city/shops. Talking about that... I found jungle animals, farmyard animals and sea animals... Well, I might be a bit slow with this info, but it looks like Oz will be getting the new album before other places (but Japan is first on Sept 16th)Release date 18th September: http://getmusic.com.au/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=59574&aid=15376 Really??? *goes to check inSanity* *expects it to say "Who's Mika?"* Oooh look! They do know who Mika is... but no album... *Has taken nurofen and caffeine and is in MQing mode* Well, it would be nice to have the MFC flag, and something of our own too.. Since we're rarely involved and so we could pump this possible Mika encounter dry.. I think so... we also have a possible next year encounter, so we'll have to leave some ideas for then... Have you ever opened up the laptop and serviced Mike yourself? Or is it under warranty?? He's still under warranty... I'll take him in sometime soon... LOL! You need to add a "f*ckin" in there somewhere since Mika is less 2thousand&polite7 and more 2thousand&f*ckin9 now. Sooooo... Something like "F**kin hell, I'm wearing a f**kin farm!" ? I think the reality is that we'll know about it via twitter or Mikasounds before MFC will tell us anything, even if they know something.. Seeing as you're constantly on Twitter, maybe you should monitor Twitter... can anyone be bothered to monitor MS? Makes sense. So, expect to hear something on my birthday. Good idea. *summons Rose* Happy Birthday Melz... nice present there! Well, firstly we should forget about a jar of vegemite, but we could try and get some vegemite merch.. Anything fluffy that involves sticking batteries up it's clacker is perfect for Mika. I remember Christine saying the Canadians gave Mika an all access pass or smth to Canada. We should do that, but make it suggestive.. So we're going to all the cheap shops then! OOoooooooh! We should get him a 12 inch Harry... cause that's where his batteries go! I'm liking suggestive... LOL!! Smth About Mary hair. Never thought about that! You undo all the screws? Teegs! Don't undo all of Mike's screws! He'll just come back with a vengeance. I'm so glad I was on my own! We could always get a typical cliched fluffy koala that plays Waltzing Matilda or Advance Australia Fair or something?

I'll be able to see myself as a fresh faced Mika fangirl! The fluffy toy is a great idea but what do you think if we also buy him a scarf that he could actually wear on those freezing days in London maybe a good quality aboriginal scarf or any other scarf that would remind him of us I like the idea of a scarf! That's a good one! Maybe I could get something real touristy like here in Cairns seeing as the stores are jam packed full of that kind of thing .. let me know if you want me to get something either thru here or my email demonkissangel@hotmail.com What sort of touristy stuff?

Or don't I want to know? Anyone remember what number thread we were up to then? hehe. I haven't gone back and looked yet.... I think Mika could definitely live without a kangaroo scrotum in his life!

So even back then you were doing the organising:naughty: A book of Oz... with each of us writing about or town/city and putting a little message for Mika (we could add the songs to the book and the Aussie slang too...) Now, where did I see that idea? a flag and each person signs it (it would be done at each gig if he does them) Ahem... when was the idea for the MFC flag made again?
