Actually after what happened when I met Darius I have come to the conclusion its best I dont actually get to met anyone I like anymore.....I scare them......I have all sensible thoughts in the queue and then when I am in front of them thats it - total and utter weirdness comes out
Even on the phone I have noticed this happening

Yeah he is - he is a really nice bloke who did use to have a lot of time for his fans. Not seen him for a while so dont know now, but I doubt its changed.
I actually had some nice messages from him when I had Alex.....he even signed a pic of him.....that was courtesy of bea.....she took a pic of him for Darius to sign. Met his mum and little bro 4 yrs ago - she brought us lunch, she is very nice

awww that's so lovely!
I really admire him, because he learned from his experience on Popstars and turned things around...and in the long run has had a much better career than Gareth Gates. I still get annoyed becasue he was totally scr*wed over in the s/f to gaurntee a Will/Gareth final.....

My husband shared this same old-world world view - and I'll admit, it worked. He was utterly wonderful to me, a 'guy' guy, like Dirk; strong, capable, fearless and very gallant. A real sweetie - and dead easy to handle. Would that I could have him back. I'd do things differently, second time around.)

Evening all
Thanks for the link to Dirk article Hermoine
I've just finished reading it and found it very interesting. There no need to worry, its not an extract from Cowboy although bits and pieces of that article are mentioned in the book.
