Erm... yes... erm... Of course that's exactly what I intended it to be.

By the way, Plumber J is just preparing to fill my expansion tank.

A flyby post, so sorry for not linking with others, but regarding Jays casting as Josh...I recorded the interview with Producer Michael Rose who described Jay as:

"the most charming, naive, delightful human being who's got a childlike quality about him that is absolutely perfect to play this role of Josh Baskin....we've got three other names that we'll announce later on that will be joining him in the line up here for BIG the Musical"... "he is fantastic. I mean, he is Josh Baskin. We did a big photo shoot on the piano keys, you know that iconic scene in the movie where they're dancing on the big piano keyboard and, er, we went into the studio to see him and one of the other leading men dancing with him and, er, it was just, I mean the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I was just so excited because we discovered right there and then that we'd made the perfect choice to lead and head up this new musical."

As far as the possible casting of Gary Wilmot...I believe that was based on the fact that Jay followed him on Twitter at around that time...no other supporting evidence as far as I know...but credible.


Anyhow, we'll know more in the morning

ETA "Gangsta motto for life" Haha, love it Hannah and DD

Also, Korky...'twas my pleasure...twitter is a huge source of intellectual and stimulating pleasure if you carefully choose your follows.

Yes, yes, yes and yes to all four adjectives - Jayjectives? - and they invite analysis, I think...

Thanks Speedy

Very exciting - do hope they are some one I like.

If anyone can listen to the radio show in the morning, and post an update on the thread, that would be appreciated.
I will be on my way to work.

Nightie night everyone

If he's finished, I need him to check my lubrication and my big end before my 3-hour drive tomorrow ...



Should we set Hannah a limerick task?


I'll be listening and will post before I leave for the weekend.

Hello All,

Just thought I would pop in and see you all, hope all is well???

If any of you follow me on Twitter and I don't follow you please give me a nudge.

Apologies for my tweets about saucy JayDreams.

Hi McG, how are you?

Yes re. Hannah -


J's dipstick is rather worn out and gungy through over-use at present. I'll give it a good going over before he goes to you.

ETA Hello McG!

BIB1 Yes! Hannah has started and she must continue..
BIB2 Have a fabulous week-end and hope this glorious weather prevails for you all weekend.

Heard not long ago that the strike has been called off so Saturday, so
Camino here I come!!!!!
I will post my Final Review tomorrow - trying to edit it a bit as way too long. Once I have it done I am going to try a different style...learning and getting ideas from all of you all the time.

Hi Speedy,

Have had a really stressful couple of weeks to be honest but at the moment all is calm thank the lord.
Hope you're well???

Hi and hope you're well McG 😊

Thank you for posting the transcript from this interview - great to read.
BIB - agree with you fully on this

Hello there Mcg. Hope all picks up for you
Nice to see you back

What about a fiver on an American connection, then?

I'll let you off the limericks....

Just read these before I head for bed - (been a long day travelling, visiting and trying to write a review that isn't flowing right for me) bit tired so short thank you and praise before I retire.
DD and Korky - Love Love Love both of these.

Thank you DD also for posting 4th edition

Hi BB I hope no US connections - would really like to see Irish/UK talent on stage with Jay...certainly enough talent on this side of the pond.
Nite now

Ups and downs, you know. Up tonight

Working in a beautiful part of the country this month and found myself pulling over to the kerb to enjoy the view in the late evening sun. The smell of mayflower and the sound of the roosting birds coupled with that of distant lowing of cattle...fair filled my heart with joy.

Stopped to taste the strawberries tonight....has to be done every now and then.

Exam period over now? How did it go?

Baz someone - showbiz journalist - just tweeted Big cast
Gary Wilmott
Denise Van Outen
As we guessed based on Twitter follows/activity
Photo of Jay and Gary on the piano

DVO won't be the love interest surely?

Ditto Polly, jayfan and whoever else said: very much hoping for no US connections, we have enough excellent actors and singers here, thank you very much
Say no more, and wish very much for suspicions to be unfounded

In other thoughts......my money's on Gary Wilmott, Diana vickers, Martine McCutcheon and / DVO. And hopefully NO ONE American!

Bloody hell Jayfan we MUST be telepathic

Evening McG
Rather enjoyed your Jaydream tweets!

Really dislike Denise... another loud over-confident person and seemingly the antithesis of J.

I live in Bucks and the countryside around here is so serene and beautiful.

Half term now , he has a few to go back and sit last one is on 17th June.

Paid off the holiday today so have got a week in Turkey to look forward to, plus Keep Dancing at MK and Big next year in the West End.

E.T.A JayFan I aim to please wish I could go into more detail about them, perhaps I should write a blog or book about them.
