The Mario Appreciation Thread (Part 7)

Hello everyone. Looks like I missed some exitement over the weekend. That'll teach me to go away.
I hope Mario's hand gets better soon, especially as he has his collection to work on, so he needs all his parts in good working order.
As to these rabid Ben fans, there's really no point engaging with them. I think they're likely pissed off that we have contact with our favourite, while Ben seems to have walked away from BB with no thought for anyone. I wish him well in his career, but I'm supremely grateful that Mario was my favourite.
In fact, if Mario was a different sort of person, then it's unlikely I'd still be on here. I don't know about everyone else, but I've gone beyond being interested in his career to liking and respecting him for who he is. This is the first appreciation thread I've ever been a part of, and this is the first time I've still been involved after BB finished, and that's solely down to Mario. If he was anything like the majority of HM's then I would have wished him well for the future, but that would have been it. The fact that he has taken the time to come on here and engage with us, that he has allowed us onto his personal Facebook, and that he follows us on Twitter proves how right we were to 'appreciate' him. He's allowed us to know him as a real person, and not just an HM, and for me, that makes all the difference.

Thanks to Mods for bringing it forward.:cool:
Can I add my plea to the twitterers to let us know when Mario does a twittcam.:o
Yep we will hun it was a bit last minute last night, I mentioned it to him then suddenly he appeared lol, will hopefully give you some warning next time
And YAY for Part 7!
The BB housemates seem to allow and encourage fans (don't care for that word so much but it fits) to be even more involved. Do remember though, that some of you are in a slightly different position than the rest of us. Not every fan is on Twitter or Facebook and anyway Mario doesn't follow most of us fans and we don't have his Facebook. I don't mind, it's perfectly reasonable to me, he can't follow everybody, but please can you pass on any little bits of information that we might miss?
Re: Ben, Although I have seemed to ruffle a few JJJ feathers inadvertently I don't get into fan tussles, I can't be bothered. I will go against received wisdom in here and say that I didn't mind him, well as a housemate anyway- he amused me sometimes. I said before and I'll say again he's obviously a very charming man but I imagine that he'd be very hard to get close to, I know someone like that, perhaps that's why I can identify.
I will try to put the notification of any twit cams in here, but I am not always the quickest at noticing things in twitter.
Anyway, hoping you have a nice week molers.
Good post Remma and so true about Mario making a lot of effort for his fans, he's proving to be the lovely person we could see he was while in the BB house.
Anything I missed from our "Highness" while ruin my day sleeping?
(I should follow my own advise sometimes, it worked to send Mario to bed last night, but I failed terribly)

Congrats getting to part 7
I've missed quite a bit of the molehole lately been distracted by twitter and facebook
Btw Tweetdeck is very handy for letting you know when Mario is doin a twitcam, everytime you get a tweet you hear a little tweeting noise and the tweet flashes in the corner of the screen its free to download and easy once you get used to it and it makes it much easier to carry on a tweet conversation with others, you can see all your messages on one page and your facebook too
Hey Patty *waves*,
I downloaded tweet deck and used it for a couple of days but I didn't really like it. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I can't see how it makes twitter easier, it just seemed more confusing to me.
Plus, I love my DrWho cartoon (yeah yeah I know!
I am here, but not really talkative tonight

enjoy
hows the headache ?
I love face book, i am not liking twitter at all, still feel like i am casting bottles out into the ocean, i think i will stick with here and face book, and pop into twitter when Mario is doing a twitcam.
See, I'm the opposite. But then, as you may have guessed by now, I am an unsociable biatch sometimes
I like Twitter because I can follow people I like and who interest me and see what's happening with them. I must admit that I know what you mean about the 'casting bottles out' aspect of not getting a response on twitter sometimes though and that can be a bit disheartening. Twitter definitely works best interactively the more followers you've got, but that takes time I suppose.
Meh... not so good, and even if I have slept all day, I will go back to bed soon, making sure to get up on time, even if I have to work another lateshift tomorrow.
Anyway, I am quite sure I will be all right again tomorrow
hope you do feel better soon
Hope you feel better today Malza and the pesky headache is gone.
Hope Mario's collection is making prgress, it must be hard having to do all the work himself.
Have a nice day everyone.
Thanks for asking maidmary
Yeah, headache is finally gone, but I still feel soooo tired
well i have been to work, sorted the washing and put it on, fed the cats, emptied the litter trays, tidied up, filled the dishwasher, laid and lit the fire, checked and answered the mail only thing left to do is play games on the computer
how's your day been?
what's Mario up to today?
I wonder if they will really talk about something useful, or just getting drunk
Sounds like you've had a busy old day, like the idea of your lighting the fire - sounds very cosy. My day, by comparison, has been very restful, although I've had to turn the heating as it's very chilly in south London today, but beautifully sunny and bright. I've also done my Tesco online shop, which is always very boring, so a relief to get that over and done with.
Thanks for the info....was able to catch the end of it
