Good cos I can’t find my flag.
Yes, Klair, it has happened before - that night was kinda surreal, playing Roxette songs in a bar with ...erm ...Roxette, and after a Roxette show lol ...and who was drunk? hmm I know Gessle was pretty sloshed - Åsa had to prop him up against the bar hehe

pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 13, 2006 13:40:
maybe it’s something to do with our star sign as to why we like Roxette so much...........
Vixzter said on March 13, 2006 14:18:
btw....what was the plan for the saturday? (appart from the london eye thingie)
this is where you all tell me to look at the website ;-)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 13, 2006 14:21:
@Vix - nothing is planned before 5pm, apart from the London Eye. A couple of us are going on the Eye I think. You gonna join us?
ally77 said on March 13, 2006 22:41:
Me and Paul are doing the London eye... ain’t we, Jackie is too chicken to come on! :) I think Vix is as well... **makes chicken noises**
I think Suzy was thinking of doing the London eye....
Vixzter said on March 14, 2006 07:12:
seems like me and Jackie are the only ones with any sense then!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 14, 2006 07:49:
If it’s a toss up between the london eye and the pub, I’m not surewhich one will win..... No, only joking Ally - I’ll still come on the Eye. Just hope the Q isn’t as long as it was last time I went on it.
xarrrr said on March 14, 2006 19:23:
what time u planning on going? me and saar will prob only be in central london around 4.30pm...
ally77 said on March 14, 2006 20:48:
I guess it would be before 4.30pm... unless you and Sarah are around for the Sunday we could perhaps all do it then....
Paul how does that sound for you....
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 15, 2006 08:01:
I don’t mind when we go on the Eye Ally. I’m not going to get to London until around lunchtime on Saturday, so maybe it’ll be best to leave it until Sunday?
natasha1 said on March 15, 2006 11:56:
@Ally
Has a girl called Nina or IceAngel contacted you about wanting to join in on the Saturday...she said she had emailed you but now I fear she is running away from me (she has some cool Roxette friends that I was hoping to see again too).
**sob sob**
ally77 said on March 15, 2006 12:29:
Natasha.... yeah I just got her email! :) It seems I didn’t get the others, and she is coming with her friend Sarah, so I have just asked Xarrrr to update the website...

natasha1 said on March 15, 2006 13:37:
yay!
i met nina through this forum about 4 years ago. we met up in a bar in london and she brought Sarah along - it was the first time id ever met up with anothe rox fan...special memories (saw nina at debs 29th birthday party last november...)
rox on !
ickle123 said on March 16, 2006 15:03:
Wow - I can’t believe there are still other Roxette fans out there! I was a huge fan of them in the ninties (when I also knew another fan called Nina!). I would very much like to come to the London fan meeting but I must admit I’m a bit out of touch on recent Roxette developments!
xarrrr said on March 16, 2006 19:12:
that doesnt matter :P read a few pages on here (TDR) heheh and you’ll be up to speed!
come join us it’ll be fun!!!
@ally - soz on sunday we gotta leave our hotel at 11am and we’re gonna go to windsor and then down to brighton!
klair said on March 16, 2006 20:53:
@Vix - is Sarah that one who has curly dark hair and came on the ferry with us to the fanmeeting in....(thinks)...where the hell was it....Germany?? Mnay moons ago...
Vixzter said on March 16, 2006 20:54:
aye ;-) many moons ago on a ferry, that was a scary trip! the coach on the way back was freaky!
ally77 said on March 17, 2006 05:01:
@ Xarrrr no worries... :)
I was going to go on that German one.... but I couldn’t make it... shame I hear it was a lot of fun!
klair said on March 17, 2006 20:49:
I think that everyone on TDR should sponsor Vix to go on the London Eye. Heheheh!!! Then the money can go in the charity pot!!! :)
ally77 said on March 17, 2006 21:31:
Now Klair you have a very good idea going there.... :) in fact I think its a bloody brilliant idea....
I’ll pledge £5.00 if Vix goes on The London Eye....
:)
klair said on March 17, 2006 22:16:
Fundraising is in my blood!!! lol!!
C’mon Vix - u up for it?? Its for charidee mate!!! :)
(hides under desk - I am sooo in trouble now....)
Vixzter said on March 18, 2006 09:35:
i’ll give money to charity but i’m not going near the london eye ;)
Vixzter said on March 18, 2006 09:42:
i can’t think of anything worse than having to stand in that thing for however long it takes to go round, it was bad enough up the city hall in stockholm! atleast i could get down when i wanted to ;)
purplemedusa said on March 18, 2006 10:17:
You guys are bloody evil!
Oh Vixz, just down a few pints beforehand and do it for crow & country!!
ally77 said on March 18, 2006 15:31:
Awww Vix, how about if we blind fold you for charity with a Union Jack, that way you won’t see anything and 30 minutes is over before you know it!
Vixzter said on March 20, 2006 17:07:
exactly! besides how much is it to go on there? thats beer money wasted! ;-)
ally77 said on March 21, 2006 16:39:
So I have a few people up for the London Eye on Sunday, still working on Jackie and Vix... :)
Who is going to be around on the Sunday as any ideas if any of what perhaps we could do....
klair said on March 22, 2006 22:23:
GET YER BADGES HERE!!!
The lady with the fantastical badge machine (ie me) has done some ideas for badges!! I meant to get these done at the weekend, but something came up - so I have thrown them together now. Everyone coming to the weekend can have a free badge to celebrate - so have a look at the oh-so-easy to remember url:
http://www.roxette.co.uk/badges/
I kinda started to follow the design idea that xarrrr did on her page, and erm, um, it kinda went a-stray from there ahem! (when you spend 8 hours at work designing and then try to come home and do it, your brain goes odd) I know the tube sign is kinda obvious, but I liked it....
If there is a particular favourite among them, then that will be the ’official’ badge lol! If not, and you have any other thoughts or ideas of what you would like to see, then don’t hesitate to let me know.
I will also be making custom badges for people to BUY at £1.00 with the proceeds going into the charity fund (oh yeah!) If you have a particular design you would like on a badge - send it over to me. If you are not a designer, but have an idea of what you want - tell me & I will come up with a design. It doesn’t have to be Rox-related....it can be anything you want! Hey - I will even let you use rood words on it if you like (but don’t tell my mum!)
**BUT** you must let me know BEFORE midnight this Saturday (25th) for a custom badge as I will be making them on Sunday, and can’t guarantee whether I would have time to do one in the week.
Anyone not attending the meeting but wanting a badge mail me for postage rates for your home-land-type place.
If you don’t know my addy - shame on you!

Enjoy!
ally77 said on March 22, 2006 23:17:
Badges are well cool! :) placed my order with you... and for some custom ones as well! :)
ally77 said on March 23, 2006 15:05:
Oh I can’t wait now, picked up my Absolut Citrus ready mised bottles from Tesco today for the hotel room. I was well chuffed with Tesco as they where reduced to £1.99 for 4! :) I’m not paying hotel bar prices!!!!!!!!!
ally77 said on March 23, 2006 15:26:
Just to add I am gonna make up a couple of CD’s for the restaurant, if anyone else wants to do some please feel free to! :)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 23, 2006 19:16:
I’ve got a couple of CD’s which I can bring. Nothing special on them though, just album tracks
pwbbounce (moderator) said on March 24, 2006 08:00:
I’m just gonna get one of the free ones when I get there. I have a little thing about badges. It’s too embarrasing to say here. I’ll tell you when we meet up :-~
8 Days BTW
ally77 said on March 24, 2006 08:12:
I am curious...
This time next week I’ll be on my way to the train station! :)
natasha1 said on March 24, 2006 19:09:

*throws laptop out the window*
steven said on March 24, 2006 19:53:

ally77 said on March 24, 2006 21:44:
This time next week I will have seen Mamma Mia! :) and I’ll be more than likely proping up a bar somewhere after the show...
klair said on March 25, 2006 16:04:
Is there anyone in the Midlands area that wants a lift??
I am going to be driving from Staffordshire down, so if anyone doesn’t want to share a train or bus with the great unwashed public, then drop me a mail!! I have a nice clean new smelling car (as it is new) and an ipod full of gessle!!
zaine said on March 25, 2006 20:33:

ally77 said on March 27, 2006 22:10:

And it came with a cool free download code for an album, there was not an album I wanted to download but spotted this strange song called “Hey Mr DJ” some remixes or something so thought would try them! lol ;)

I’ve found Leciester Square, and the Vue so at least I know where I am going tomorrow now... lol nice little area, I feel great places for drinking afterwards!
Now Vix, I need a word... if you go on the London Eye on Sunday..... (pretty pretty pretty please.....) then Jackie says she will go on..... you can’t let us North West lasses come all this way and deprive herself of The London Eye.....
Vixzter said on March 31, 2006 23:20:
ive seen the london eye in the flesh now ( well metal really) and it made me feel sick just looking at it!
sandyam said on April 2, 2006 09:41:

Vixzter said on April 3, 2006 14:28:
Without question the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer.
Oh I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention but the hweel does not go nearly as well with pizza
;-)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 3, 2006 14:46:

ally77 said on April 3, 2006 18:35:
I got home around 40 minutes ago, and I am going to download the photos asap.... and get those online for you all to see at some point this evening and I might get around to doing a review for TDR... if I can remember...
I shall also aim to update my blog laters this evening / morning as I feel it might be another long night / morning....
I have a party in my head.... it still NOT ended!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 3, 2006 18:38:

@Ally - I’m gonna be writing a review tomorrow. I’m sort of knacked now and real can’t be bothered. But tomorrow!
ally77 said on April 3, 2006 18:39:

pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 3, 2006 19:05:
Can I have a look before you put them on?? PLEASE
Vixzter said on April 3, 2006 20:28:

ally77 said on April 3, 2006 20:58:
Those didn’t come out very well... I had shaky hands...
Right sorry guys... I am knackered and I took so many photos that I’ve not edited the size on them all yet, but I’ll finish them tomorrow morning and then get them up....
Promise Paul I shall send the link to you first....

ally77 said on April 3, 2006 21:06:
They are worth waiting for....
Promise in the morning... first thing! :)
Oh I want to add, it was fun for all those that turned up on Saturday... I have some “sorrys” from those that couldn’t make it either by email or text and I appreciate that guys... they know who they are.... and I am sure we would welcome you back to the next one! :)
But the few that could not be bothered to tell me that they were not coming by even a simply text, shame on you....

Anyway, I’m off to bed. The photo’s will be fun tomorrow!!
RobS said on April 4, 2006 08:16:
Well sounds like you all had a great time.
Can’t wait for these photo’s....
Vixzter said on April 4, 2006 12:09:
is anyone else knackered?
maybe its just me cos i spent most of the early hours of monday morning at Victoria Coach station ;-)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 4, 2006 12:33:
That might be why!!
No I’m not knacked anymore. Was last night though!
ally77 said on April 4, 2006 13:11:
I slept like a log last night, never woke for 12 hours.... but I am still knackered right now, feel like I’ve just had flu... wiped out!
Photos nearly done just uploading them now to photobucket... lol
ally77 said on April 4, 2006 13:47:
Just emailed them to Paul, he needs to approve them! lol he’s online so will be asap now....
Worth the wait I think...
ally77 said on April 4, 2006 13:57:
Ted I am still asleep... it was a success, I need to mail out the winning items to people today... although it will be tomorrow now... as I am drowning in papers and washing....
There are some things left and I’ll start a topic over in the Market Place either tonight or tomorrow....
ally77 said on April 4, 2006 14:00:
Okay photos have been approved....
Here are the night time photos... there is not that many from Saturday night (for some strange reason) but there are plenty from Sunday night when there where just 4 roxers left to party in London!
I heard the others where in Brighton on Sunday so maybe they might have some photos for us as well soon!
Here are mine!

ally77 said on April 4, 2006 19:53:
@ Vix, will email it to you...
@ PM... I know its the only reason I went to London, and bloody Jackie didn’t eat any so I left them (most of them) for the hotel staff when we left...
I went to the bank today, and I seem to have emptied it... lol how did that happen! :)
Vix have you worn the t-shirt yet, and how’s the pen! lol
Updated the charity auction thread and also one in the Market Place with what’s left to sell!
I have a thing for cocktails now...
So when is the next UK Roxette Fan Meet, or shall we just meet for a piss up around London! :)

what was the bar called you were at on sunday night? looks like a cool place :)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 5, 2006 15:06:
@kachina - Are you taking the pee?? :-))
@zaine - It was a place called Sound in Leicester Square. The music was a bit crap (being RnB night), but the place was cool
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 5, 2006 15:14:

Vix, you remember me telling you about that drink I brought back from Austria? Click on the link. I’ve got the “80” variety

ally77 said on April 5, 2006 16:12:
Those cocktails where so good.... :) I so need another cocktail jug, sex on the beach, zombie and that viagra one... yummy... well worth the money!
kachina008 said on April 5, 2006 16:37:
pwbbounce, no not at all :P i really do think you are cute :P
plectrum said on April 5, 2006 20:14:
just had another look through the pictures & i have to say ally looks a little bit on the tipsy side holding that big jug lol
ally77 said on April 5, 2006 20:45:
A bit tipsy... try legless.... :) those cocktail jugs where a bargain at £12.50 for 2 pints! :) it was so hot in there I was knocking them back like water!
I don’t normally drink.... just now and again if and when I go out which is not very often!
I have to do a night out with Paul again and Vix as it was just a lot of fun!
My mum liked the picture of me leaning on the lampost!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 6, 2006 08:42:
@ Vix yeah it was aftershock. Yuk.
@ Kachina Thanks for your “kind” words!! :-))
Claire said on April 6, 2006 09:26:

xarrrr said on April 7, 2006 17:43:

pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 7, 2006 18:09:

P.S - I’m a little bit drunk again!! Oops.
ally77 said on April 7, 2006 18:20:
I fancy Brighton for a weekend, sounds like fun! :) Just as easy I think to get to on the train from up North!
Paul, when your sober I’ll give you a number for the AA .... ;)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 7, 2006 18:49:
Might be a good idea!! Nah, I’m celebrating my birthday still. Out again tomorrow night! :-))
zaine said on April 7, 2006 19:21:
Brighton would be great

ally77 said on April 7, 2006 19:38:
“zaine 4/7/2006 20:21 new

Wow you mean it has real Karaoke.... :) yes please, might beat walking around the middle of London singing Gyllene Tider songs!
My friend has a daughter that lives in Sussex and when she goes to visit they always go to Brighton!
xarrrr said on April 7, 2006 19:49:
haaaay suz why dont we have it at the rocks n we can do the whole guitarry-singy-thing again :D now THAT was fun!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 8, 2006 09:02:
@Ally Train probably. There are direct flights from Guernsey to Brighton!! YAY!
*Goes and checks prices*
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 8, 2006 09:06:
POST 500!!!!
The flights are via Alderney (stupid little island 20 miles away!) Hmmmm, must be another way.
zaine said on April 8, 2006 18:03:
ally, trains go from London Victoria to Brighton direct, n it takes just under an hour. pretty good actually. I’ll do some research. where does your friends daughter live?
xarrrr, yeah that was cool :) can u imagine everyone there though?!
zaine said on April 8, 2006 18:17:
also, if you’re gonna do brighton, i’d say do it before september. its gorgeous down here in the summer. especially on the beach. good enough for a bbq
ally77 said on April 8, 2006 21:57:
Ermmm somewhere in Sussex, I’ll check when I speak to her mum again.... she’s lived down there for sometime now... but might be moving to California somepoint in the future...
However if I get down there (and I will) it would be great to arrange to meet up with Zoe whilst I am there! :)
Vixzter said on April 9, 2006 18:02:
i’m up for pirate karaokee on brighton peir if i’ve been in enough pubs before hand
Vixzter said on April 9, 2006 18:18:
if its in brighton i can race my car up and down the seafront ;-) although i think they stopped that these days ;-)
ally77 said on April 9, 2006 18:22:
Well if shes going ^^^^ I am defo coming! :) still say best night ever with her and Paul! I can’t wait to repeat it!
So who’s picking a date... :)
klair said on April 9, 2006 20:03:
Brighton is cool...I am up for Brighton, hopefully I’ll get chance to stay for a couple more days as I soooo didn’t have enough time in London. :(
Oh, and if there are any adrenalin junkies out there, I do live next to a rather wicked rollercoaster park which also has hotels & bars & discounts for group bookings (grin)...so if anyone fancies a more action packed meet-up...
zaine said on April 9, 2006 20:04:
Vix, yeah unfortunately Madeira drive has now got barriers ever 100m or so to stop the likes of you :P ;)
plectrum said on April 10, 2006 03:32:
i was hoping it would be more north than brighton just for those who think it might be abit too far to travel,i’m sure there are rox fans north of watford so why not try for instance ( blackpool,liverpool,manchester or even notttingham),just a thought so we can keep things more central & conveniant for everyone.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 10, 2006 18:09:
Alton Towers would be sooooo cool!! Love to go there again
klair said on April 10, 2006 19:33:
C’mon, you know Alton Towers ROCKS!!! And.. its up north (kinda) lol!!
You need a minimum of 10 people to get a group discount btw. And there is usually other special offers going on all the time. For this month they have this free chocolate thingy in the hotel (for the new ride)
And maybe they will do the REALLY silly offers they did last year, like the one if you brought a gnome with you, you got in free (I am not kidding - they really did that!!)
Claire said on April 12, 2006 09:49:
what if u a big chicken like me and scared of all big rides lol, i been in the Nemisis queue a few times and then fled it.
Vixzter said on April 12, 2006 10:53:
i looked at the nemesis and thought i’d go on it only to chicken out at the last minute, went on that black hole instead, much more fun!! also been on the log flume, the rapids and hex ( is that still there?) won’t topuch the corkscrew as its the fear of heights thing again and as for the oblivion! f*** that!
Claire said on April 12, 2006 11:11:
im okj with the corkscrew, fine with being upside down and high but i hate big drops lol. i havent been to alton towers since 98 tho. its miles away but was planning on driving down this summer for a day out. its always so busy in the summer tho.
ally77 said on April 12, 2006 13:29:
I went on Nemisis the first year it opened... god I feel so old now as that was way back when I was at school / college...
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 12, 2006 18:14:
Oblivion was amazing when I went on that a few years ago. Very exciting. Thought Nemisis was rubbish really :-)
ally77 said on April 12, 2006 22:06:
Corkscrew was the first thing I went on.... I didn’t think I would like it but the person I was with said “oh come on” I was hooked! :)
ally77 said on February 25, 2006 21:55:
Yeah of course, I can provisionally put you down for it... email me your name, email details and contact number to [email protected] and I’ll add you to the list! :)
