4 out of 10
I obviously wasn't paying enough attention in the absence of Natalie & Artem.

Thanks wliag

7/10 though a couple of those were pure guesses! How is anyone supposed to know which tartan is which?

6 for me. A couple of guesses ,including the tartan Had no idea about Oscars or Blur songs.

Just got the latest copy of the Newcastle Theatre Royal brochure for next year and I see that Pygmalion is touring with Alistair McGowan but sadly no mention of Kara or who is playing Eliza

OMG! 10 a RARE occurrence AND several guesses.

Nina_s Thank you for Trafford report, especially the hair stroking

Edit: OOPS wrong thread for Trafford report

Totally agree....that hits the nail precisely on the head

Nice to see in between all your projects including producing. Cake and labels extraordinaire; you find time to keep,abreast of the important things in life aka this thread . Nail hit on head says it all

)Popping in to enquire about TIPI
I mostly lurk these days and I do know a lot of kartemites are posting on the.Natalie and Artem thread but am aware I havent seen anything from her for a while hope she is well enough .

That's a good point DQ. Do hope that Tipi is OK.

*Waves* to Tipster. Hoping all is well. xx

Disappointed to see Artem with a very stiff and must be sore neck .
Why would he have attempted that lift with Natalie.
She looks bigger than he.and surely professional as he is he would have known it was risky.
Always pushing to the limit is fine but with her track record and his(as jive and knee op)! It seems a bit reckless and the routine seemed very full on without it.: Last time at Blackpool his celeb was in tears about his neck this time it's just a bit of a laugh Well hope its just an old woman worrying that its not going to back fire on him.

Another week - another Quiz

Thanks it is. The site sounds horribly gossipy, but the article is ok.

8/10 for me.

Morning reading about Artem and being upset at some pretty offensive tweets. Never quite get Twitter .realise its all part of today's world but .. Why do it If being part of it gives people who mean nothing in your life are able to insult and demean you ? I have read many times people on this thread despairing the lack of tweets from both Kara and Artem. So if they tweet so infrequently surely the easy answer to the ..is it "trolls "is not to participate at all .What would be lost to Artems real followers if he simply either blocked access or just tweeted to his personal friends privately ? Seems sad to me that you leave yourself and loved ones open to silliness and nastiness for two lines occasionally simply .because it's the expected thing to do .

Waving to friends old and new to let you know I have a date in Elstree in Saturday. How lucky am I? - very I should say. I am travelling down to London tomorrow and won't be home until Monday so will be reporting beforehand via my good friend lateone. Packing my thermals and a very warm coat for a long wait in the morning queue.

You have a good time, ml. And you're used to cold weather anyway.

Lucky you, this is MAJOR! Have a wonderful time. The long wait in the cold will be well worth it. Look forward to reading your report!

Thanks lateone. I'm away this weekend but will definitely try to access the net to keep updated

How exciting!!!
Have a FAB-U-LOUS time.
It is nice to hear that someone has been lucky with tickets. I applied for tickets for nearly all the shows but just keep getting polite emails from the BBC saying I have not been selected.

Major Lurker is in the queue. They have brought seats with them. Look out for her tonight wearing a black top with pearl beading around the neckline. That's if she's thawed out. The sun has gone in and it's very cold!

*Waves back*

Thanks for asking after me
Just popping in to say hi and let you know I am fine. Have been really busy so not getting much time to be on here but am still lurking and watching the show...and of course supporting Artem

Good to see you all still posting here and on the Nartem thread
