    I've come to break up this talk of Colin because I'm so jealous it hurts! :p
    I want your opinion on a dvd theory of mine. I've just noticed that Being Human has got a 1-5 boxset release and that finished after Merlin so I was wondering why Merlin didn't and then I remembered what you guys said about the covers being different because they were released by different companies. I'm rather clueless about copyright etc so does it make sense that they can't release a complete set because two different companies have the rights for different series? Is that likely to remain the same?
    Sorry to drag this topic up again but I'm getting impatient and I want to make sure that I'm not going to get caught out once I've given in and bought them individually. :)

    Have you forgotten already? :p It now goes:

    Tickets
    Melted chocolate (in thermos)
    Whipped cream (at least 2 cans)
    VODKA <---written in red capitals and underlined twice
    Gag [in case you start squeeling at the sight of Colin]
    Sick bag [in case you throw up]

    That's it so far. :D

    You've forgotten the nappies and tena lady pads in case I wet myself. You might also want to add a defibrillator in case Colin appears with no clothes on, or very few clothes on, and I have a heart attack. :)

    Btw Natarhi, I learnt a trick on here the other day, you can write stuff in red using [highlight], for example:

    [highlight]VODKA[/highlight]

    I can only manage one underline though, sorry :cool:

    I don't know but it would make sense for that to be the case. (I did wonder if that was affecting it when I was writing out the descriptions of the covers.)

    No I didn't forget. ;) Like I said when this first came up it's no good me bringing nappies and tena lady pads, you need to be wearing them. So Avi is going to forewarn us of Colin's costume and if you think you might wet yourself then you can make sure to wear some protection. :p

    Also it occurs to me that you have thus far threatened to; wet yourself, throw up, faint, squeal and rush the stage. Are you planning on retaining control of any of your bodily functions? :p;)

    I suppose that would make sense for me to be wearing them. You could always bring some spares just in case though. ;) Oh, and some smelling salts in case I faint.

    Am I going to retain control of any of my bodily functions - well, I will try my best not to crap myself, but I may be doing that in fear if I ask Colin a question. So I'm afraid the answer is probably no. And I will probably cry as well. :o

    :rolleyes: I'll bring a towel and some baby wipes, they'll be useful in case of vomit too. (God, this is getting to be like going to work :p)

    *adds towel, baby wipes and smelling salts to list*

    Yup. Definitely like going to work. :p:D;)

    Is it too late to change our seats?

    Probably.

    Not as bad as the way you'll feel if she vomits, wees and poos herself . . . and you'll be on your own with THAT lot! :D

    *imagines look on faces of other Globe patrons if Keren starts weeing, crying and throwing up whenever Colin walks on stage*

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :D:D Oh, it'd almost almost be worth it! Just for the reactions. :D

    Good to know I've got your full support in looking after Keren. :p Don't worry you can sit on the aisle seat and I'll sit in the middle and we can put Keren on the inside. That'll stop her rushing the stage, keep you away from any accidents and maximise the effect of her hysterics on the other audience members. ;):D

    This is going to be fun! :cool:

    Oi, I don't need looking after! I'll sit on my own then, wouldn't want to embarrass you both. :(:cry:

    You don't need looking after? Really?? Have you seen the list of things I am bringing for you? :p

    Anyway did you not read the rest of my post, I won't be embarrassed at all :) (well, not by the squealing/fainting/etc etc out of excitement/nerves. If you ask people to sing to us at the Q&A I may very well implode with embarrassment :o).

    Ah but there aren't many other Q&A sessions, so they can't change. At least Natarhi can't, she might start hyperventilating again if she can't get a ticket. ;)

    You're looking after me by bringing copious amounts of vodka and whipped cream? Hmmm.

    Dear Colin,

    Some time in August, we are coming to see you in your performance as Ariel in The Tempest. I feel I should warn you that, despite Keren being a member of the audience, and should you be wearing ANYTHING less than covered from head to toe be prepared for:
    • uncontrollable screaming
    • uncontrollable sobbing
    • uncontrollable urination
    • potential pooing
    • storming the stage armed with whipped cream
    • demanding sexual favours

    She will be with her carer, but such is Keren's obsession that she may not be able to control her at all times

    Regards

    Smint

    PS. Will you read out my story? Thank you! :)

    You lot might be about to cost me a lot of money. I've just found out that there are tickets left and that the train doesn't take as long as I thought to get to London...

    I was thinking more the sick bag, towel, wipes, smelling salts, reassurances that it'll be fine and you won't throw up if Colin looks at you and so on. But whatever, just throw it back in my face. :rolleyes: :p

    :eek: Oh you evil cow. :p Right, that's it. See if I stick up for you any more. *goes into huff*

    Well that wasn't on the list but I will throw up if Colin looks at me. Or I'll at least squeal and hide my face in my hands which would be embarrassing but not as embarrassing as throwing up. How did you and Smint cope being in the same room as him, Alex, Eoin and Tom? Colin had his arms out for god's sake! How did you not spontaneously combust? :confused:

    Well, to be honest, Keren, I was a bit "meh"

    After all, it was only Eoin, Tom, Alex and Colin . . . they were OK, nothing special

    And you know me . . . not a sexual thought in my head :)

    I went and looked and the seats surrounding us are all filled (poor Lowri, lucky strangers ;):D) but there are some not that far away. And you could join in all the pre-/post- performance fun Lowri. You have to come now you've said you might, otherwise we shall take it as a personal insult. ;)
    (Like we did when Avi dumped us and star spurned our invitation :p:p)

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :D:D:D

    And Keren, you have to remember that by the time we saw Colin's arms we had actually had Eoin, Tom and Alex's arms around our shoulders *dreamy sigh* Having lived through that we were hardly going to be undone by the mere sight of Colin's arms. You know that Colin's arms come further down mine and Smint's sexy arms lists anyway, we can be very blasé about them. ;):p
