"Each man reads his own meaning into New York" - Meyer Berger

Well this is strange - i think it may nearly be a year or more since I last blogged on TV.com. It is so long that I am certain I have fallen into the void on this site.

Well I am creeping back through the black hole and staring into the light to say hello to the world!

Although not really on here I turned more into a lucker peering at tv shows checking the odd blog etc. I don't quite know why I walked away from it for a while I think everything changed so much on this site, it felt very strange.

Anyway.....

I need a little bit of help. I am going to the great City of New York in November believe me I can't wait -its a very surreal feeling at the moment - but wondering if anyone could give me any info on places they have been to etc? Also is anyone familiar with the Empire hotel? whats its like?

I couldn't go without a funny:

The School Answering Machine

This is hilarious - no wonder some people were offended!

This is the message that the Maroochydore High School Queensland, staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine.

This is the actual answering machine message for the school.

This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.

The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their Cl@ss.

The outgoing message:

Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:

To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1

To make excuses for why your child did not do his work - Press 2

To complain about what we do - Press 3

To swear at staff members - Press 4

To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5

If you want us to raise your child - Press 6

If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7

To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8

To complain about bus transportation - Press 9

To complain about school lunches - Press 0

If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behaviour, cl@sswork, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!

If you want this in another language, move to a country that speaks it.

Take Care peoples! x

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.

Holding Out For a Hero

In life news: Well today I went to the agency - I am all registered now we just wait and see what happens. I have a consultant who wil help me look for the right job that I want - it does make me nervous though starting all over again but change is good - still thinking positive. Went shopping afterwards, was supposed to go with my mum but shes going through a rough time at the moment so the Doctor came out etc - but hopefully all will be ok in a couple of days. I brought a TV series when I went shopping today - its where my blog title comes from Can anyone guess which series its from?

Thankyou to everyone who answered my movie question here are some of the faves that people picked out:

Chanouel - Of Mice and Men

Vendbien - Godfather I, Space Odyssey, GroundHog Day

Miles - It's a Wonderful Life

SweetPea - Titanic

PunkNerd - I Robot

SMG - Phantom of The Opera

France - Beautiful Thing and Maurice

Madison - Remember the Titans and Armageddon

Some Brilliant choices there guys and I like some of the good ol' Cla$$ics that have been mentioned! - plus there are a few I may have to check out myself!

IN OTHER NEWS

Estelle Getty sadly passed away on the 22nd July

Mainly Remembered for her role in The Golden Girls but there were a few other thing I've seen her in and she always played such fun characters.

Well before I go - I was thinking about Childrens TV the other day of past and present - funnily enough TVfan blogged about this the other day - its like one mind lol! So heres a few of my faveourite shows that I watched when I was younger

Sister Sister, Hang Time, Clarissa Explains It All,Marsuplami, The Gummy Bears and The Raccoons.

*What about you what did you Watch and Enjoy?* I might see if i can do an ode to childrens TV in my next blog.

Now, at long last some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...

1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too)! Neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead! With handheld fan and tiny tissues.

3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow! Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

4. Cook's Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, too: muumuus with tummy support panels are included!

5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.

6. No More Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr. With mini van in robin's egg blue or white, and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Bruce (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Comes with real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."

9. Single Mother Barbie. There's not much time for primping anymore! Ken's shacked up with the Swedish au pair in the Dream House and Barbie's across town with Babs and Ken, Jr., in a fourth-floor walkup. Barbie's selling off her old gowns and accessories to raise rent money. Complete garage sale kit included.

10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does 12 steps instead of dance steps! Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously. Comes with little copy of The Big Book and six-pack of Diet Coke.

11. Post Menopausal Barbie. Poor Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, she comes with the book, "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self

Have a Good Evening Guys!

If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the
rest, we will resemble you in that.

Still continuing with the movie theme can you guess which song it is? Click Below:

Saturday

This isn't really much of a blog today I will try and do that tomorrow. But I'm feeling in a lovely mood *NOTE to all I am not Drunk* and so I thought I would send you all out one of these...

Whether you have had a great day a lame day or a downright crappy day I am sending this out to all of you - because a lil hug never hurt anyone.

Thats really it for today guys - thanks to all who've sent in what movies they like keep them coming if you can!

BEFORE I GO

Here are some things I've learned from Godzilla, Gamera, Star Wars, etc.

-Any animal which isn't a human will grow 50 times its size when exposed to some sort of radiation.

-If some exotic pet escapes from its cage, it will likewise grow to immense proportions.

-No matter what city you're in, the streets are always wide enough so that giant monsters could walk on it.

-Many monsters, even machines, are somehow depicted in ancient myths.

-It takes only a few seconds to pick a name for an unknown giant monster.

-If a monster is evil, it has enough energy to spout an infinite number of energy beams from its mouth. If it's a good guy, it can only shoot at most 2 energy beams before it nearly collapses of exhaustion.

-A monster's energy beam can effortlessly destroy a huge, heavily armored robot, but takes 5 seconds to shoot through buildings.

-No matter where you are, there's always a clearing big enough for almost a dozen monster to rumble in.

-Giant flowers are always a problem. They'll either blow up in a mile wide explosion, or they'll mutate into vine-whipping, acid-spitting atrocities.

-It takes all the electricity in a city to power a handful of tanks.

-The power of a missle is inversly proportional to how much you talk about its "capabilities".

-Aliens wear pimped out jackets and know martial arts.

-If there's an object you need to destroy quickly, it will always have a near-inpenetrable energy sheild.

-When you see an ordinary building and its name pops up in the subtitles, the building will be destroyed in about 15 minutes.

-If you have a strange looking lightsaber, you are one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy.

-Tiny spaceships never get destroyed. Huge kilometer-wide starships will be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Have a good Evening and Tueday Guys

xx AMY xx

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages

*Edit* If you can, take a look at Sparkle's or Miles's blog, its reguarding Violation Warnings and sometimes the moderators take things a little to far. Sparkle we all loves ya!

Good Sunday to you guys - Can believe its sunday already, the joy of going back to work tomorrow.

Heres a little calming tune for you all.

Moon River

Sung by the wonderful Audery Hepburn.

Life news: Not much is going on really - had quite a calm weekend. I went shopping yesterday and handed in another applicaton form - so thats 3 potentials now. We bathed our cat today - something had disgustingly urinated on him cue one bath and one very unhappy cat, looking funnily enough like a drowned rat for a while. But on the bright side now he does look very cute and fluffy.

Heres a dancy song theme for you - can you see I have a thing about the movies today.

Fame

Continuing with the movie theme here is a list of my top 5 movies - there are loads of movies I like but heres a few of them...

1. Dirty Dancing: The ultimate in girlie flicks, When I first saw it I really want to be Baby when Johnny lifts her up at the end.

2. The Grifters: Its got John Cusack in it which is a massive bonus - I have a major thing for him! It's a pretty warped movie but worth watching for the performance of Anjelica Huston.

3. The Lion King. Yes I know its a cartoon - but how can you not love this story. From the songs to the characters its such a wonderful tale. Hands up if you cried when Mufasa died?

Hakuna Matata

4. The Sixth Sense. This movie scared me quite a lot - mainly the tape recording scene urgh. But I really love the twist and watching Bruce Willis's relationship with Haley Joel Osment. By far M. Night Shyamalans best film.

5. Bridget Jones Diary. Like Dirty Dancing - this is another great girlie film. I think I enjoy so much because at some point in the movie you can relate to her situation.

Evening Guys its Friday! What a nice feeling that is - I for one am looking forward to a lie in tomorrow morning.

Heres a tune to celebrate the weekend:

Men in Black

Well its been a better week then last -shame the weather here is not sharing my positive influence. Not much to report on life wise really - I have the agency meeting this week *crosses fingers* and I filled out an application to work in a Book Publishing company which would also be great!

In other news - I'm a bit late in saying this but the wonderful Hollacious as set a Facebook group for all us TV.comers - if you are on Facebook come and join -read more about it here

A FEW CHOSEN SONGS FOR THE BLOG:

My Immortal

and

Billy Jean

What I shall be Watching tonight:

Lie to Me - I love this programme, the panelists each have to explain a scenerio - and the other team have to guess whether its true or false very funny espesh some of the stories they come up with.

Chicago Hope: I forgot how good this show was! Its on Zone Romantica at the moment and Geiger the wonderful Mandy Patinkin is back in it.

Probably more Will and Grace had no idea that Julian McMahon had a very small cameo in it.

The Funnies

its becoming very hard to find new funny things lol but heres what we have today:

Conversation Cats

Not funny haha just amazing that they seem to be having a conversation wit each other!

There is no such thing as child-proofing your house.

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite

A 4 years-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a superman cape

It is strong enough however to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room

Baseballs make marks on ceilings

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on

When using the ceiling fan as a bat you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit

A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan

When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh;" it's already too late

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it

A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies

A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day

If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak - it explodes

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house 4 inches deep

Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old. Duplos will not.

Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence

Super glue is forever

McGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know

Ditto Tarzan

No matter how much Jello you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water

Pool filters do not like Jello

VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do

Garbage bags do not make good parachutes

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving

You probably do not want to know what that odor is

Always look in the oven before you turn it on

Plastic toys do not like ovens

The fire department in San Diego has at least a 5 minute response time

The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy

It will however make cats dizzy

Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy

Quiet does not necessarily mean don't worry

A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life (unfortunately, mostly in retrospect)

Have a Fantabulous Evening Guys

*HUGS*

*O dear what is going on with my spelling today*

So I am no longer wallowing and am here to post a bright and happy blog! Thanks for the other day guys *hugs* - as SweetPea and few of you said Shiny Happy People are overated - but still just for them:

Happy People

I did have some good news the other day - an agency as found my CV in CV libary and wants to help me find some work so next week - i go meet with them etc yay!

My chosen song of the blog is this one:

The Script

I love this song - the singers voice is amazing and just listen to the lyrics!

*remember if you want a song in my blog - anything at all let me know - I would love to hear your choices*

Well this is pretty much from me tonight but before I go I have discovered many new programmes so here is my top 5 I am loving at the moment in no particular order:

1 NCIS - I really like this show and I have to say I have a small crush on Mcgee!!

2 Criminal Minds - I had heard of this show but never watched it. I'm so glad I got into it fave character at the moment is Reid.

3 The Hills - yes yes yes I know trash TV but great to just sit down and watch when there is nothing on.

4 Midsommer Murders - think this mainly on in the UK - I love attempting to solve the mysterys on a sunday night!

5 Will and Grace - I dug out the old DVD's I still love this programme - currently watching season 2.

I will look at all of your blogs over the next day or so to see what I have missed in the last couple of days to catch up on them.

Children's truths

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.

4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

6) Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.

7) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

Puppies still have bad breath, even after eating a tic-tac.

9) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.

10)School lunches stick to the wall.

11) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

12) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

13) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

Enjoy your evening Guys

xxx

I soo wanted to put a good blog up today - but its just been one of those days.

I feel like everythings crashing around me -whatever I seem to do just seems to go wrong and then I get angry or upset and I'm trying so hard to be positive and its just not working.

But I think I'm just going to curl up and see if I can get it out of my system. Im sorry guys I don't mean to be such a downer.

Normal Happy Amy will return tomorrow I promise.

*hugs* to you all. xxx

Well I would put a great blog on here - but I seem to have misplaced my brain today - possibly its on its way to London on the train -some of the things I have commented or NEARLY commented on the blogs so I think its best to try again tomorrow.

So a Brief one tonight -

First:

My Chosen Weekend Tune:

A little song which I think is brillant!

Thriller

C'mon admit you know the Dance

The Film I shall Be watching Tonight:

Chosen Pictures of the blog:

1st Joke (Slightly rude to put on here?)

Joke

2nd Joke:

This Cracked me up:

Hopefully post a blog on here tomorrow - Have a fab evening guys.

Just for you Lin *runs and hides*

P.S Does anyone have any good jokes or Songs they would like to see in the blog? Pm them to me or send me the link.

A happier blog today - although its been a lousy week, I'm going to be happy and remain positive - plus I had a mini crying fit when my computer froze during an application form yesterday - and I don't want a repeat of that lol.

I just want to say to all the people who commented:

My chosen song of the blog is this - and it links up to the title of my blog.

Sweet

And because I just heard this song on this on the music channels and it is a Cl@SSIC!

Stay

Well this is it for me today - I will do a better blog this weekend - this was really just a big thankyou to all of you - it always reminds me what great people and great friends I have made on here.

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her Cl@ss by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?"

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Take care of yourselves guys and have a Fab Friday! xxx

A short blog today as its not been the best of days.

Has you know today we found out whats happening with our jobs - well we're being made redundant - so in about 3 months we are gone . As I have just been there for under 2 years - I will get no extra pay, so now its time to see what else I can find. Being told was horrible - everybody cried - a part of me really did think we may stay.

I'm going to be positive though - new doors will open etc.

So I thought I'd do a short blog with some things to make us all smile.

Chipmunked

hehe and now the orignal version

Buttercup

A six year old comes crying to his Mother because his little
sister pulled his hair.

"Don't be angry," the Mother says, "Your little sister doesn't
realize that pulling hair hurts."

A short while later, there's more crying, and the Mother goes to
investigate.

This time the sister is bawling and her brother says...

"Now she knows

Thats it for today guys, I'm going to eat junk food and clear my head...to much emotion today I think.

Hopefully I'll get to post another blog before the weekend - got a couple of things coming up this week but will do my best.

Take Care guys.

No special title today - its actually the title of a song - which I will come back to later.

Two Shoutouts first - thankyou to Jon and France for all their help with the Links, I ACTUALLY understand it now hooray!

So to celebrate (man I hope this works!)

link

In the World of Celebs - Nicole Kidman has had her baby -introducing to the world Sunday Rose Kidman Urban.

The reason for the title I hear you cry...

Well I have listened to the radio a lot today - and one of the songs I heard was this:

Black Velvet

And this got me on to thinking about another song I liked and heard today:

Ironic

I just love the lyrics of this song.

Life stories not much is going on at the moment although tomorrow is the day we find out what happens and whether we keep our jobs - so its going to be an interesting and possibly depressing day tomorrow.

And now for the Funnies:

The Perfect Worker

1 Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2 hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7 breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10 Cl@ssd as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
11 dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13 executed as soon as possible.

Addendum:

That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report
sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered
lines.

ENJOY YOUR EVENING GUYS!

Well I couldn't think of a decent title so let me know if you know where this quote is from?

Whoever gets it can have this:

So even though France gave me so fab advice and a link to be able to stop putting the long webpage up I still can't do it - it brings up an error message telling me that TV.com can't find the page gaaaaah byt the 7 millionth time of doing it I gave up!! I will try one more time though.

Going back to Winnie The Pooh for the last blog this for Lyn:

its bouncefific!!

I've been doing some subs this weekend and trying to tidy up some of my people profiles - and hopefully get off level 21 which I've been on forever!

In life news - this week I will find out whether I'm to be made redundant - so its going to be an interesting week .

Anyway guys enjoy the rest of your weekend - heres a couple of things to make you laugh (hopefully) and a try on the link thing again.....

Wrong but I found this kind of funny.

There was a boy who could see who was going to die next in his family. So one night he was praying and said "God bless mummy, God bless daddy, good bye grandma." The next day his grandma was run over by a bus.

The next day he was praying and said "God bless mummy, good bye daddy."

Now his dad was really worried and went to work very carefully. When he came home his wife said to him, "You know the strangest thing happened today, the milkman dropped dead."

NB: Thanks France for the link thing - grr still can't do it yet but will play around with it tomorrow.

So having become more of a lurker round the world of TV.com - I am still here just in invisable format lol! I opened my mail today to find - I have been tagged - and being as a haven't posted a blog in an age, I thought I would do this one so here goes.

So 10 facts about me:

I am a keen singer & actor I have performed in many shows & once did the Edinburgh Festival.

I am a huge fan of Starksy and Hutch the original series - I even admit to having slight crush on Starksy

I was a Girl Guide and a Brownie - even made it to leader of my patrol and went on many camps, which include many embrassing stories including falling in a lake - I washed bits of mud and wood out for ages!!

I hate Tomatoes I try one every year and I cannot stand them.

I once worked for Ann Summers ( a risque shop) as a party hostess.

I blub at any sad film...Beaches I was an emotional wreck & Stepmom.

Commandment 1.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2.
If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Commandment 3.
Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

Commandment 5.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.

Commandment 6.
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one;
The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Commandment 7.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

Commandment 8.
Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9.
Marriage and love are purely matter of chemistry.
That is why wife treats husband like toxic waste.

Commandment 10.
A man is incomplete until he is married.
After that, he is finished..

Bonus Commandment story.
A long married couple came upon a wishing well.
The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The husband decided to make a wish too. But he leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It really works!"

and for the men....

Afternoon Friends,

So here is my John Barrowman Blog - which will be pretty much all about the show last night. I'm going to try and put it all down as much as I can remember, anything i forget I'll go back and edit it.

The Bad News first - My unbelievbly stupid phone - feel free to rant about it with me, last night I took many videos -as we were to far away for good picture taking with my camera, they weren't brill -hes kinda little lol! But the sound etc and the jokes he was saying were all there! But this morning my phone decided to conk out on my so I couldn't upload my videos and I'm stuck with a rental phone for the time being.

However - thanks to the modern world of technology and youtube, there are some clips from the Brighton show that someone has put up there so here they are:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Br2zoFALoGQ

*this was the first song he performed*

*not the best quality but check out what is on stage with him Torchwood fans*

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jSpQ55aChic

*the list for youtube with JB at Brighton keeps growing so here is the page with them on for you*

http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+barrowman+brighton&search_type=

NB - the order of what happened may be a bit wrong my memory is slightly hazy!

April 17th Brighton Dome Centre:

We got to the venue at about half 6 and to wait to be let in - the show started at 7.30 and there was not support act so JB came on pretty promptly and opened up with Man of La Mancha -cue lots of booty shacking from JB and loads of energy.

He sings another song, and then greets the audience - and seems to be pretty amazed at the reception *it was packed* and the quips mind you this is Brighton and he fits in nicely here lol - Brighton is renound for quite a Gay communtiy which is fab! He explains how he likes to use his songs as a biography about his life and so starts to sing Milly, Molly, Mandy - a song he used to sing infront of parents and friends - this hugely amusing - and complete with a little dance

He sings some more including a song by Carly Simons Your So Vain - and includes an uncanny imitaion of her !

The mood then takes a sadder turn as he explains about a friend who lived in America - who was going home to tell his parents that he was gay and hiv postive - when arriving his mum hugged him and was fine, his dad said nothing -but a few days later sent over a tape and on it had the song Time After Time which is Dad felt summed up how he felt about his son - So JB sang that - I'm nearly in tears at this point!!

The show continues and the mood is lifted - and he brings on none other that Jack Harkness's jacket! Believe me many thoughts of you guys sprang into my head and how you would have loved to have seen it! The audience went wild - and then he sang a song taken from the musical Wicked about what Jack would like to say to the Doctor - see the third video sorry about the poor quality but hopefull you get the idea.

Que a few more songs, some Barry Manilow ones and Every lil thing she does his magic and then its time for an inteval.

Phew are you still there???

hmm second half lets change the colour font -

So we're back after a 20min break - and JB arrives with costume change in a very dashing suit! JB announces that he has a very special guest for us. He has one of the Joseph boys quoting that if Denise Van Outen can have one he can to! So on comes Daniel who is now in Avenue Q- which is very good he sings 3 songs and is a nice extra bonus.

JB comes back on - he keeps saying he is very hot - so the audience chants off - for him to take his clothes off - he unbuttons some of his shirt but sadly goes no futher quipping that its a family show lol!!

The mood then takes a very sad tone as he explains how people tend to believe that his life his perfect - so he tells us very emotionally about his Partner Scott's sister and when she died of Brain Cancer - and sings the song which is called Please Remember Me - its on his album, if you get a chance listen to its beautiful. It's such a sad moment, has he explians how Scott went out of his way to make her last year a happy one, and the final phone conversation that they all had. When the song finished there was none of the usual cheering we all just clapped and a respected silence - JB has to take a tissue from the audience after becoming a bit emotional from singing the song - he throws it back to them and lifts the mood straight away stating thats 600 pound of E-Bay hunny!

So we're coming to the end of the concert now and he sings some more songs including a song from Mack and Mabel which people have said is how they see him. He goes into his last medly of songs such as I am What I am and Thats Life and ends the concert to a standing ovation.

And thats it after 2hrs its all over - but I can honestly say that it was one of the best shows I have ever been to and if you ever get the chance it would be worth going! I laughed I cried and I had an amazing time, he has a brilliant humour and interacts with the audience even taking questions that people shouted out. Introduces us to his parents and his fab band.

We did wait around to see if we could meet him after the show but due to the BBC filming it - he couldn't hang around but he did wave us off in his van which was good.

So there you go that is the night of JB - if i have missed anything out - I will add it in and any questions you have feel free to ask lol!

P.S forgot to say for all those who watched him in Dancing on Ice - he bought the costume out for that too and we all joined into is this the way to Amerillo lol we are cool!!!

PPS - you may have heard about the issue about UK shows and rightly so a lot of people are making blogs about how it is not fair and an issue that needs to be address - I can't explain it very well so - please take a moment to read either Lins *LMH68* or Mattpitt1991 blogs (there are many others to be just to name a few) to read about it and show some support.

So I went to his concert last night!

One Word:

AMAZING!!!

More coming later if i can get my stupid phone to load up my dodgy camerwork videos lol!

xxxx

Can anyone think of anything to finish the title with? I couldn't so i thought i would hand it over to you guys!

Hey Hey 3days in a row of blogging - calm yourselves now, I know its a shock!

Well its the end of the working week for me - wohoh a long weekend! *celebrate and mini wave to me* So the first thing i will be doing tomorrow is having a mini lie-in.

What Am I Listening to Tonight??

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yxW6DzwsTs0

This is a British singer Adele - and a song which i think is one of the best on the album - not to everyones taste but see if you like it.

I forgot I have also listened to this - now this is a cl@ssic tune enjoy!!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4n_proUhiRw

Well I haven't really got much to say - I'm off to watch nostalgic(sp?) Television with Johnathon Creek - I like to think i can solve who did it!

Before I Go

Heres some funny things for you - A laugh day -helps a lot you know! xx

Kids

1. Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

2. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and be quiet.

3. Children will soon forget your presents, they will always remember your presence. - Dobson

4. There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it--Chinese Proverb

5. There are only a few pretty children in the world and every mother has them.--AML

6. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like clearing the drive before it has stopped snowing.

7. Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

8. They say kids brighten the home. That's because they never turn the lights off.

9. I have teenagers. Pray for me.

10. "You're a good example of why some animals eat their young."--Jim Samuels

11. If your parents never had children, chances are you won't either.

Work

1. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it?

2. God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind I will never die.

3. First rule of acting: Whatever happens, look as if it were intended.

4. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

5. Of course I don't look busy.....I did it right the first time!

6. Nobody notices what I do, until I don't do it.

7. Hard work spotlights the character of people; some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all!

8. I always try to go the extra mile at work, but my boss always finds me and brings me back.

9. After all is said and done, more is said than done.

10. I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me.

Have a good evening Guys and Gals
