PunHeaven : ' I think us Australians have the perfect opportunity to lure Graeme here - the Scissor Sisters will be in Australia for Splendour in the Grass in July. All we'd have to do was kidnap JJ and hold him to ransom.

Ooh, good idea! Have to say, I love the Sisters, and when I heard that the fantastic keyboardist was Grae's son it just made me love them more! I particularly like their cover version of Take Me Out, which has a wonderful piano bit at the start by JJ.

On that note, Graeme's very musically talented as well. I'm sure the only way to make a banjo sound really good is to have Grae playing it!

I think you're asking the impossible there dear girl!!!  That's possibly the best Meeting Grae Story EVER.  If there were awards for that sort of thing - that would win.

However, on behalf of myself, the urban_spacegirl and a lady who, in moments of sheer panic yells Im_A_Teapot... we will try...!!!

We have a Kidnapping Barry plot if the original plan goes awry (see the early pages of The Timbo Thread for details if you've forgotten!).  Only thing is we can't tell Humph cos he'll make us keep him and quite frankly we can't afford that much booze.

Actually that's just one of our many plans.  We're planning on launching a series of at least 600 volumes entitled "How To Meet And Seduce Dr David Graeme Garden Without Ever Actually Meeting Him".

Peej is actually at this moment (well probably not AT this moment as due to my insomnia I'm up and doing at Stupid O'Clock while sensible people are all in bed snoozing) trying to figure out a way to slip "I went to public school - AND I can do cross-stitch!" into conversation with Tim.

I'm strongly debating whether or not to make "Brooke-Taylor for Prime Minister!" badges.

Kirstyn's just hoping to god she doesn't accidentally leap upon Graeme and ravage him to oblivion.  I mean if she's going to do that she may as well do it on purpose...!!!

I'll never know either but the best part is that both Graeme & Tim (who overheard) found it amusing!!  Let's see if anyone can better my tale next week at Halifax... Hahaha - who ever rocks up in Halifax should grab hold of Tim (not to hard)

Why not?

and get him to record this - "Bondgirl, Bondgirl, Bondgirl speak to me in Aussie you naughty little jumbuck" - send it to me - it would make an excellent greeting on my phone  I may spend the next 20 years ringing my self

Hahahahahahaha

bondgirl : ' But for a really effective line/idea/suggestion take a leaf out of nezangel's book (go to her journal - great read) cos she most definitely is a naughty little minx  (my hero  )

I am pleased to give some inspiration to my fellow Graeme devotees - good luck to anyone fortunate enough to be going to Halifax & seeing the great man!

urban_spacegirl : ' You do realise it's only a week till Halifax??  I am beginning to feel decidedly nervous about the whole thing - what am I going to say to Grae without embarrassing myself? What if I accidentally jump him? What if I rush the stage and tackle him to the ground? So many "what ifs"....  Also, I'm getting my hair dyed on Friday.  That doesn't leave me much time before Sunday if it goes horribly horribly wrong.  What if I have to meet the lads with green hair??

With Green Hair at least he will remember you
