You see there was a bit about when 'Mum went really quiet' - she was referring to the moment when the bus driver in the lane next to us in the traffic jam got out and had a fag!

I nearly lost it at that stage.
LOL, poor you. I can just imagine, trying to remain calm and serene in front of small child, but with smoke comming out of your ears!

Well, I did promise that I would put these up... and here they are!

Next time, I'll try to look a bit more serene! My daughter was VERY nervous.. and it shows.

Awwwwwww Stashy \o/

Fab photos !! They're wonderful - you look so lovely and so happy xxx Your daughter is just beautiful ! She looks like an absolute angel She took a brilliant pic of you and Craig - I see you must've had the collywobbles when you were staring at Craig through the viewfinder

Will you post them on the review thread? It would be great for other fans to post theirs too - so you could start the trend Craig looks gorgeous and so fit and healthy - even though he'd not been out of bed long !

Maybe if BB is seen often enough she might get offered a part on the show
I reckon they'll give her their dry-cleaning and shopping lists


HAVE A GREAT TIME TONIGHT BB xxxxx

Hope you get to see the guys afterwards too

I'll suggest it to them shall I

I really should have left by now just in case the motorway is busy. The problem is that the postie hasn't been yet and I'm expecting 2 lots of tickets to arrive this morning. If hubby gets to them first I'm in big trouble

Oh thank you Kazzie ! Leeds is too far for me. Oh pants. Never mind, I'll check with Plymouth this week to see if they've managed to grab another week of Joseph next year. After this one has sold out no doubt they'll want more

Oh stargirl I wish there was ! We (I should say Stashy ) is badgering Bill Kenwright to update his site with new pics of the touring cast. Would be great to see them wouldn't it.

As for singing, all we have is the CED song from ADWD and the other songs which are all on youtube. A definite lack of Craig on the net isn't there.

Are you going to see the show or have you been already? I can't wait to hear Craigs voice again ! If you check the review thread Kazzie has taken some great pics

Check out Craigs supershiny hair ! I am so jealous. He must have them handmaidens polishing every single strand to make it sparkle like that I could be a handmaiden*sigh*

If Craig catches snippets of what we talk about, I think we'll have a burn a few comments posted here to destroy all evidence of naughtiness. Unless he doesn't mind the raving ideas about a calendar chock full of loincloth and kilt poses. I want to see one of him in his "Mission" tuxedo a la James Bond look too. Oh you hottie Scottish stud muffin, how dare you torture a Leftpondia like this!

Remember the film Calendar Girls a few years ago? Craig could do the same and make enough money to retire in three months, I kid you not.

Oh, and for Dotty's record, my tickets are for the 8 PM showing on Dec 15th. *Squints* My printed purchase says Circle Row J--that's all. Hope that's not too far away to see Craig's pecs or Keith's pretty blue eyes. As long as I'm not occupying Phantom's private box #5, that's fine with me.

That's really been making me giggle Rosefire

Oh the mental images I am fighting off here !!!

This may not be terribly coherent but I'm sure that those who have already met Craig will understand

I spent most of the 3 hour drive down to Plymouth worrying a) whether hubby would open the tickets that were by now lying on the doormat (he didn't) and b) how to introduce myself or start a conversation with Craig.

I'd eventually decided on some sort of introduction along the lines of "I'm a friend of Stashy's" but I had to get home and didn't really have time to stop at the stage door. I had to walk past it though to get back to the car park and Craig just happened to be outside so it would have been rude not to go over and say hello

Mentioning Stashy didn't work as well as I'd hoped though as Craig thought about it for a second and then said "You must be Benjamin Bunny" . That threw me completely but as everyone says he just has a way of putting everyone at ease and he really is so generous with his time (even though he was dashing off for a quick rest before the evening show).

Amazingly he seems genuinely pleased to meet us all even though he clearly does read the thread. I just came away with a stupid grin on my face and feeling really privileged to have met him. Whether or not he still manages to look pleased to see me by the end of the Bristol run remains to be seen though

Just as I thought it couldn't get any better Chris came down to say hello as well and I then floated up to the 9th floor of the car park (note to anyone going later in the week - the lift doesn't work!) and got home in record time. I think hubby is wondering why I'm still sitting here with a silly grin on my face though when I'm supposed to have been at a meeting all afternoon

Hey BB, glad the hubby didn't check out the post yet....I think you need to ease him into the ticket situation eh hehehe

Sounds like you had a great time, glad it went well! So nice of Craig to acknowledge us nutbars er I mean fans

BTW, you got a laugh out of me with the "supposed to have been at a meeting all afternoon" Nice one I have to come up with a good excuse to my work colleagues as to why I'm flying over to the UK for the third time in a year...haven't come up with one that doesn't make me sound too fangirl I think I'll have to throw them the "British Museam" and "Tower of London" crap though they aren't buying it anymore.....

So...Trixie....getting more excited yet?

I hate that I have to wait 3 months still!

You make me laugh BB

I am worrying as I still havent told my husband that me and mini Keith are off to Bradford in December !! He came in last week saying his friend had got a spare ticket for the England game next Sat and I was so enthusiastic in telling him he could go !! I should have seized my chance then really !!


Sounds like you had a great time - I do now worry that Craig aand Keith are sitting with a laptop going through the treads and having a laugh at our expense !

Hi Guys if you're there - come on and say hello !!

Glad your hubby didn't open the envelope! You are so lucky getting to see the show and meet Craig so often. It was great Craig knew who you were. Look forward to hearing about your next trip.

best wishes, N
