Ari Your parcel arrived safely, thank you very much. The DVD is superb and I have fallen in love with the CD as well.

Looking forward to seeing you in 3 weeks. Paul. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

1) It is NORMAL here. You are more than welcome, and, BTW, you've got mail. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

2) In fact, on my BA flight back from London (after Crewe), I had a Finish lady sitting next to me. So I asked her to write it down for me. PLUS there is always COPY & PASTE from the internet!!

3) This means that the fridge will be empty by the time you arrive in Rostock. :p

Paul - stop making me envious, will ya?!

Ari - Do Petri and Janne listen to UUUUULTRAVOX, too?!

They better have, because Sleepy Pie here will surely bring no other music along!

Poor Ari, he just isnt going to hear the end of UUUUUUUUUltravox

Lava- silly girl do you not know that DM will also have to come along

DM? Dean Martin? Don Martin? Depeche Mode?

Oh Dean Martin for sure!!

Well, WHO THEN?! Didge Mure?

aye thats it Didge Mure - Live and in Concert

you dont have your yahoo or skype on today woman

OK, switching it on this very moment but let's TALK please. I need my hands for something else.

that is fine...but it says you arent on??

Oh, such a big deal again... You know - if you had said it straight away that it was no-one else than Danny Mitchell, I'm sure it would have been OK. We are among ourselves here anyway...

Yeah, it's fine - bring him along! Excellent!

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I was hoping he would have grown out of this obsession by now. Oi Sleepy, Singles 81-85 ok...

Psssst!! You're spoiling it, Si...

OK, now I'm really sorry I'll be missing this!!!

Would you be sure to send Martin Gore my way, please?

Mrs. X

Well, Mehdi, if you thought you could hide behind a new name and a new avatar - and en plus of the opposite sex - and fool us completely, then you will have to get up a little earlier,

Sorry, Mrs. X - Martin Gore has different initials... "MG" not "DM"

Mrs X - Sorry to quote myself here, but I think you still haven't answered this one constructively...



God, I really love this forum. It makes me laugh all the time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Mrs. X

But, MG is in DM, is he not?

Mrs. X

Hm... and what about alternatives...?

Mrs. X

Are we talking about alternatives still? I'm confused, because I think you quoted the wrong post!

I have no idea what you'd want as an alternative. Care to give me some suggestions?

Mrs. X

Well, they have heard and remember only Vienna and Dancing With Tears.... `cause that was very big hit here.

While I was editing Crewe-DVD, both came in and suddenly they went :"This song is good and cracking stuff..." I was editing Hymn.

I played Janne some Ultravox live, and he was suprised, that they play so extreme well live without sequencers or tapes in early 80`s. He has always thought that Ultravox is more synth band (tell me about it). He just went: "This really ROCKS!!! - I didn´t know they played like that on live" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> We were listening a lot of good boots and watched live videos with few beers.

Janne have played guitar in a band (severals), and they were just getting single played on radio, but they split up. That happened when we studied photography (about -95). After that he hasn´t played anymore (only every now and then in my place we do blues sessions; I play acoustic, Janne "makes love" with my Stratocaster )
Sad, he is exellent guitarist.

Well, I don´t know what he likes on fan base, but I have listened in his place recently.... Travis, Manic Str..Pre., Van Halen (older stuff), William Orbit, Depeche Mode, Yngwie Malmsteen.....

Pete---I guess he likes a lot finnish rock/pop. Mostly rock. He has played me recently R.E.M., Radiohead, Metallica, Ennio Morricone, Pete likes a lot kind of music Tarantino uses in his movies....

Yes! I was right about spelling Hyvää Ruokahalua.

Cheers, ari (only two weeks now and countdown...)

Hm... In this case, the only thing I can think of right now is for us to have a picture taken TOASTING to you (we won't have Black Russians, though)...

Please let us know if you can think of something more original. :p

Ari - now this is extremely funny! Because THE SAME THING happened to me with Lorena and Práxedes. We were supposed to watch a film, then I asked "can we please watch 2 mins of the UV DVD first" (the Dmitry one, that I am going to copy this week end, ho-hum).

And then THEY GOT SO HOOKED, exactly like you describe about Petri and Janne, especially when Hymn started!!! And they adored The Voice.

Yes, it rocks indeed! And I really thought they would find this type of music boring (they are 28) because they listen to cool DJs and Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tosca, Najiwa etc. No room for the Gang of Four here...

Yes, babe, 2 weeks to go. Then YOU will be in charge of making us the Long Island Ice Teas. At least for all the women, hehe...

SHAME YOU CAN'T BE HERE ON THE 18TH ALREADY - we're having a BIG party at the flat.

Tonto, did you really think I would 1) remember and 2) invent such a difficult spelling all by myself?! You are over-estimating my intelligence...

Hmmm...this might be a good idea in theory, however, it would just look like you're toasting to anybody...

Will anyone have a videocamera? (Or whatever new-technology device that exists these days that will shoot video?)

Mrs. X

FANTASTIC! Didn't think anybody else had discovered him! I love Chi Mai (even learnt to play in on the violin)!

Oh Helen! To read your post after Once Upon A Time In America has been accompanying us for the past 22 years!

One of the best films ever!

Its OST was my Xmas present in 1990. God.

So - going to check your thread about whether you have found a name for the little buggeress...

hmmm...another highjacked thread???

Izzy hun, have you found anything else in your house other than the juicer and an extra mattress that you didnt know you had...tee hee...hmmm will have to have a think on what else we may need

Er...

Mrs X - Why, what do you have in mind?

Well, a video greeting could be nice.

Mrs. X

Aha! Let's see what we can do... You would get the MOST ABSENT PERSON AWARD symbollically handed over...

... or something like that...

The only "difficulty" I see is to get EVERYBODY sober in front of the camera AT THE SAME TIME... tsssss <img border="0" alt="[Shake head]" title="" src="graemlins/shakehead.gif" />

EVERYBODY - Don't forget your goggles and flip-flops, right.

Ari - Send me an SMS at least when you have reached the French border, yes? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Oh, sober...drunk...doesn't matter... Just get them all together.

Mrs. X

Hhmmm?!!! <img border="0" alt="[Shake head]" title="" src="graemlins/shakehead.gif" />

i don't think i will be able to make it this time :-/ if i could i'd travel everywhere everyday... doh, i will have to stay there and make music (well... it's not so bad ;-) ).

Mehdi - that's LA GRANDE CAQUE, of course...

Let's pray for better times to come!

And trust me - your smile is cuter than that of la Mona Lisa (or: La Gioconda if you prefer)...

Yes, yes, for sure.... Sorry, haven´t got time to write you yet, there is just too much working going on here....

Cheers, ari

Ari - We have discussed everything already. No need to e-mail (from my side). We're ALL busy...

Sassy - Are you OK? Haven't heard back from you. We're worried.

Kontxi - ¿Qué tal tu reunión el lunes? ¿Ya sabes algo en concreto? No vayas a perderte una buena barbacoa y muuuuucha bebida...

Venga, chati, dime algo. A ver si has conseguido el casco aquel...

It's a pity I will not be able to come... If next Voxgate happen closer to Poland I will come to meet u. hmm may be in Germany...

bye-sly

Izzy - 10 days...need to rest up. Exhausted after the festival yesterday...we had so much fun though...if you are around maybe we can skype tonight, Sleepy will be here too.

About Davy's underwear ... very nice photo indeed!!!

May I suggest... for the future... maybe a pair of boxer shorts indeed...

oh yesm Izzy, a nice tight pair o' Calvin Klein's would do nicely...definately in black...someone look's good in black

Tight? Why's that? HEY - you're not having impure thoughts about our Davy here, arrre ya, lass?!

Sorry about last night - system broke down and when I got back, the conference had ended. Did you find an adequate ITEM in the end...?

Now, now, you know I only have eye for my Sleepy... but seeing as the boys always have a look, certainly seems that we should be allowed to also

we werent looking for anything last night it was joke. Did wonder if you got booted.

Was out shopping today for Barcelona, think I am all body shopped up and have all my travel necessities now.

Well... I suppose there's nothing wrong about impure thoughts...

Cool about the shopping. Don't forget to bring the coconut butter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I love shopping, cute new pair of sandles and sundress...no I wont forget the cocoa butter

EXCELLENT!!

I have just sent YOU ALL the link to the map plus the necessary street instructions.

Please note that BCN is a one-way street town (especially in the modern town centre, which is where you will be heading for first).

It can be incredibly annoying but it also has its advantajes of course.

Cacao butter, eh...

oops meant coconut oil lol

Just got an email from Jane with direction to the villa. Will forward it on to you later.
