I'll give them a call tomorrow, but I only beat you to it by about 5 minutes so I'm not hopeful

But that five minutes can make all the difference...

a few years ago, I had one child and... five minutes later had another!

We're all wishing that you're on the list BB.

Not only on the list, but an interview surely, as a devoted representative of the fans of Mobile Joe and Co. Lets hope no news is good news. Someone with bags of experience will be needed to handle that stage door report. Can you imagine.

Hi

great party last night, no hangover


just back from taking two 10yr olds trick or treating....

what do you call a three legged donkey ?

a wonkie

One of my cello students is going out tonight in a donkey mask plus a graduation cap and gown. Yes, he is a Smart Ass.

Trixie,
thanks for the loan of the wellies last night. You didn't want them back did you. No idea where I left them. You certainly throw a great bash

Thanks also for the photo to you and Pat. The album is going to be bursting by the end of the run.

Shame about no tickets. Didn't they realise the enormity of the occasion, not to mention the time, distance and effort you were willing to go to. Still, as you say, we will get to see it, again and again and again

Hi everyone, its great to be back on the thread again, it feels as though I have been away for ages. Unfortunately due to starting a new job, I have been mega busy working silly hours and also sadly lots of illness in the family which has all been a bit upsetting so haven't had any time at all to come on the thread. Hopefully, things are settling down a little now and its been great this evening to finally catch up with everyone that has been to see our Craig in the last few weeks or so, and I've loved reading all the reviews and seeing all the fantastic photos of you all with Craig. I can't believe that 6 months has gone by since the thread first started and it just shows how popular Mr Chalmers is.

I was thrilled to read Craig's recent newsletters especially the one quoted above advising that the cd will be out on Boxing Day. I can't wait for that. My birthday is in December so will this make a marvellous late Birthday and after Christmas present for myself. I hope there are some lovely pictures of Craig in the inside sleeve of the CD as he is so photogenic.

I bet Craig is so looking forward to performing in Edinburgh and being back home. He has been away so long. Does anyone know if his family and girlfriend have been to see him several times on the tour as know they saw him the first night in Bromley. They must all feel so proud of him.

Just hope he can do some shows in the South in 2008, I really would like to see him again in Joseph. Tried to get tickets for Bristol back at the beginning of September, but the seats even at that stage were very limited. I guess the show is so popular, it is only to be expected.

Can't wait to see the Marias/Joseph show too, will be really good to see them all again on the tv.

Anyway, great to be back, love Siouxsie xxx

Aw Siouxsie, welcome back. Great to see you again Congratulations on the new job.
So sorry to read that you've had a difficult time with family illness but good to see that things should be on the up again. Hope so xx

Fantastic we received a letter from Craig isn't it and even more fantastic that he let us in on a couple of songs he's doing, as a 'half birthday' treat Both phenomenal songs. Looks like you've got one amazing birthday present coming !

I don't know how often Craigs family see the show - his brother went recently with his mate and Mr and Mrs Hippo surprised him Must've been fab to see familiar faces. I think we all want to go again next year - it's too good to only see once. We've got some 2008 dates, but not all. Shouldn't be too long before we know though

Great to see you back with us and hope things are on the up for you again.

I'm sure all the photos and news from Craig will have warmed your heart!!

There's a few of us down in the South who are hoping for great things from the Tour dates, but they're keeping us waiting! Grrrr.

He's certainly keeping us occupied in the meantime with the CD and the Christmas Special. You're right, we'll all be watching it again and again and again.

*sputter*
Keyboard. Orange Juice. Combined.

(good thing its a work laptop) Thanks for that

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you BB

Welcome back Siouxsie, it seems ages since we heard from you. Congrats on the new job Also, sorry to hear about family illness, do hope all is better soon.

Jean

Ha ha, that is brilliant!!

Hi Siouxsie, welcome back

Sorry to hear about the family illnesses but glad things are looking up a bit now.

Lots to look forward to in the next couple of months! My birthday is in December too so will also be dropping hints for late birthday/christmas pressie!!

Any news BB? We are relying on you to represent the Craigettes as only you can

Love it.

Do you know I've got a 3 legged cat? (no, he's not called Tripod lol) He was about 6 months old and managed to get himself home with his leg hanging by a thread, literally. Was awful ! Vets did a fantastic job of fixing him and he scoots along as fast as any 4 legged one. We never found out what actually happened to him, but we think it could've been a train (I live very close to a train track) as the Vet said the wound was so straight and clean. Either that or someone tried to chop his leg off ! Best if I think it was a train I reckon. He's 5 now and really plays on it when the schoolkids come past. He knows exactly when the kids are due so he flops himself on the middle of the pavement and waits. You can hear the kids all concerned going "Awww, you poor thing, awww" and he gets loads of attention Smart cat eh lol

Hilarious ! Just saw a crossword clue "Smelly black and white animal" 5 letters. Can't believe I thought 'Craig' !!!

Well he did smell gorgeous when I met him

I need help don't I ?!!

Time for a Twinings lol

OMG Trixie, that must have been awful!! Yeh, best just to go with the train accident, the other option is just too horrible to imagine.

But what a wee trouper. They're not daft are they? Cats definitely know how to get the best out of life

Love it J Will remember that one for next year!

We had lots of guisers last night and I have to say there were some great costumes and they all had a 'party piece' prepared so it was a fun Halloween.
No stroppy kids with one mask between them threatening to throw eggs at you!

Anyone missing or not included yet, let us know so we can update



STASHYare there any more 2008 dates confirmed yet please?

ps- sorry the Bold has disappeared from the names. I copied the list and it didn't copy it exactly. I've done the place names instead, to save ink

Article here

http://www.huliq.com/40031/grand-the...-for-2007-2008

The Grand Theatre website doesn't give dates yet though.

http://www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk/news...R-20072008.htm

Good meeting place for the Craigettes maybe ??

The article says July, so the tour obviously goes on beyond May!

Joseph seems to always be on tour, I would doubt it will be with Craig as late as July

Blackpool would be a great place to see it

Any news BB?

I think we are up to date as far as we know. There is also the Blackpool date which is advertised as 'Craig' in the lead role.

In that case, I have also found Leamington Spa which is the 8th to the 14th June 2008. This was on the Tanith site. There is no information from the Theatre yet though. Here is the link:

PS we're still short about eight or nine weeks of Craig's extended dates.

Your poor cat!!! I can't imagaine how you coped. Glad to hear that five years on he has a great life and is none the worse for his ordeal.

How many weeks is that - four?

Still not recovered!
