To all Dublin bound joyous Jalionistas - have a wonderful time. Can hardly wait to hear about it.
Isih. I do so agree with you about Sherlock. The first two series quite brilliantly brought the stories into the modern day without losing sight of the original. Now it seems as if Messrs Gatiss and Moffett have become intoxicated with their own cleverness like a pair of precocious schoolboys. Any day now i expect them to disappear up their own fundaments like the famed oozlum bird. ETA. Love the alternative titles for the show.

I do agree about Sherlock - the first two series were brilliant, but the recent ones have suffered from the writers' tendency to get clever and complicated for its own sake. I find now that half the time I don't understand what half the story was really about, even when I know the outcome. Mind you, the same is true with Stephen Moffatt's Dr Who - the story arcs loose me completely and I'm not really bothered about watching it any more
![]() Here's hoping the last few performances of BIG go brilliantly, and then a very well-earned rest for Jay in a scarf-free zone with a good book, good food and plenty of body-building stout! Still thinking of you Arnostae x |

Tom Parker tweeted to say he was going to see Jay in BIG - wonder if that's this weekend as well? Could be fun?

Here's hoping J doesn't get too swamped by overwhelming fandom while he's still recovering! |

Guess who I bumped into on the way to the shops by the hotel?
He recorded a little message for DS. The sound quality is not great but you can hear it on full volume. Will try to post it some how. He looked very trim and sounded fine. Damien was keeping a careful watch over him.He said that he goes into the theatre every day to warm up his voice and check that he is ok to sing. Hopefully he will be on tonight as we could not resist the urge to buy a ticket for tonight! Jessica was poorly last night apparently as are a lot of the cast. Jay said to Sally from Twitter that Big was going to the WE but later in the year. Really looking forward to seeing the show again tonight. |

Apparently last night, there was an orderly queue of fans of Jay outside the theatre and he worked his way up the queue to speak to everyone.
Very good of him in view of him having the lurgy. |

That's great, and I have a feeling Max and his girlfriend may be going too. Don't know about Nathan.

Words Of Comfort
Words can be a cure For the very worst disease They can aid recovery But with no guarantees Words take hopes or worries And swallow them whole Only to take firm root In the centre of our soul Words can start destruction Or plant seeds of creation Which sprout ideas illimitable In lines of communication Words can be a comfort And "soothe a savage breast" They give voice to our feelings And should never be suppressed |

Thanks, Jayfan, I couldn't quite make out what he said, but his voice sounded OK even though he looked like he was dying to get out of the freezing wind!

busy nagging him to wrap up properly. Coat done up, scarf tied tightly round neck, hat well over his ears, etc. How many of you went tonight? Think you're all trying to equal my four attendances. It's enough to make me want to dash over to Dublin first thing in the morning and get tickets for either or both of the shows. ![]() ![]()

*waves* to fridgesoup Happy New Year to you and to everyone too. Quote:
Just adding my good wishes to everyone going to see Big this weekend, whether you have been before or this is the first time. I know you will all have the best time!
Can't wait to hear about it ..... ![]() Quote:
....Sorry you can't open 'Falling Slowly'. I thought using google share had sorted out any access problems. Anyone else have any issues with opening it or any idea why it may not work for some?
Lot of work to write such a long piece - really enjoyed it, thank you - liked the twist And thank you for linking to jayfan's message ![]() Quote:
....Safe trip to Dublin for the lucky ones going. May Mr McG be in good voice and dancing as sublimely as usual. Take care and hugs to all. Will try to catch up when home.
Quote:
.... I loved the first series, thought they married the two centuries perfectly (so much so that I kept forgetting which one it was set in). Liked the second, started to get irritated by the third, not sure if I'll watch next episodes of this one. Probably will, just to give it a chance....
Scarves, hats - such fun pomes from all. For decent cat-hat though, you need the MaineCoon(ish) Davy Crocket version! I find alpacas have very sharp hooves so am sticking with cashmere.... - with you, Tsuntsu Bird, janetshep and Dfer. Loved the first two series, liked the third, thought the 1st episode of the fourth one had some v good scenes - Martin Freeman's cry out !! - but overall it was a bit over the top for me. Will watch the rest to see how it goes - but I get the feeling it might be the last. - a pity if so.Still not worked out how BB is going to get an alpaca round J's neck, now a MaineCoonCat!! (beautiful cats) Quote:

Hope you enjoyed your chat - sure he must know who you are ![]() He does seem to love meeting people. Hope you really enjoy the show. Glad Big is planned for the WE - wonder which theatre? There's a bit of a clue now. A little later would be fine as it gives the cast chance to get over the nasty bugs making some of them poorly. Time to have a bit of a holiday in the sun. Quote:
I'm with you Isih- though in my case it's Seville oranges and not lemons ....
