^ I'm not from New Zealand, and I haven't heard of it.
> I made the mistake of sitting cross legged for a moment, and my cat decided to sleep on my lap, so now I'm stuck. I've pins and needles in both feet, and his whole weight seems to be leaning on one spot on my ankle. It is all very painful. If I had the mental capacity of a squashed apricot, I would kick him off and sit properly. However, it appears that I don't, so I remain and suffer.
V Blackadder fan?

^ I live in a lovely little world rarely influenced by reality, so until you mentioned it, I didn't realise there was a lot of hype about twilight. Hence I haven't been annoyed by it.  > My niece calls my cat 'the titty', which Sister finds hilariously funny. I can't think why... *coughs* ... anyway, we've been having a conversation via msn, and discussing said cat. Sister has used 'titty' in everything she's said for the last 30 mins.... very sad.... ...I had to change the topic about the point when she mentioned the 'poison titty tongue'.

^ Only during the day. Around midnight they show one or two ads before getting back to the show.
> I actually want to answer Fredus's question too: The weirdest thing I've ever heard a little kid say was: "That lady was so nice, she taught me how to pole dance." This was some 7-9 year' old kid talking to her nana in Rundle Mall and I passed them just at that moment.

^ Most of the time. Sometimes I have a wonderful moment when a question just pops into my head. > I want to answer killerbananas - my favourite restaurant is a little chinese place in Wagga called Lum Inn. (That may not be spelt right, having a brain fade...) It's great. You have to walk up a dingy little alley, and through a random door, and down some creaky old stairs. I've taken a few family members at times, and they always start by thinking that we're all going to get food poisoning and die. Very nice food though, and cheap. V This is from the wrong direction, but what's your least favourite of Anthony's cd's/dvd's? (Even if it's only least favourite by an infinitesimal amount ) |
|
|

Post by killerbananas on Dec 3, 2008 19:58:42 GMT 9.5
^ The Best of Act One. I'll never buy it (Sorry Anthony), because I already have every song on it on all the other CDs, and I'm stingy and I'm not going to hand over 30 bucks for songs I already have > Wow, way to dredge up an Ant related rant... V What's your favourite Ant CD/DVD? |
|
|
|
Post by Fredus on Dec 3, 2008 20:35:40 GMT 9.5
^ That's tricky. Centre stage, but followed so closely by On the Boards, that it's pretty much a tie. > My least favourite is actually Midnight Dreaming. I love a few songs on it, and Moon River has been my all time favourite song since I was about five - hearing Anthony sing it  - but I can't get into the rest of it. I keep trying, but... V First favourite song? |

Post by Marie-Cris on Dec 3, 2008 20:44:09 GMT 9.5
^ Of Ant's or all time?
> But Smilin' Through is such a lovely little piece! I think if you listen to the albums you least like over time you tend to grow frond of them.
Of course, that doesn't apply to all things *coughbroadwayj&hcough*, but I was like you in that I wasn't fond of Midnight Dreaming at first; or Tenor & Baritone. Face the Music I was cautious about because I'd heard bad reviews about it, but it's actually really good; a perfect up-beat driving CD! I just listened more intently to the albums I wasn't too hot on - not just to Ant but to the orchestration and I'm always hearing something new that I haven't heard before.
V First Ant album you ever owned?

Post by Fredus on Dec 3, 2008 21:00:53 GMT 9.5
^ I got Best of Act One, and Centre stage on the same day.
>I meant first favourite song of all time.
I have tried listening to Midnight Dreaming over and over. I will keep trying for as long as it takes. I figure that once I know the songs really well, then I'll like them more.
I haven't got Tenor & Baritone, but I love Face the Music. Very nifty.
V Ant album you want most? (assuming you don't have them all)

^ Face the Music, I think. Or Best of Act One (simply because I don't have all of his albums and it would be a nice little sampler)
> Going back to Marie-Cris' question, my first Ant-related cd was 'The Main Event'. We also had a tape of 'On the Boards' floating around st the same time too (aiming for that to be my next cd purchase - love 'Being Alive')
V Favourite role of Anthony's on DVD?

^ Yes. Many a time. Curse my friendlessness! > Going back a bit to the question about the first Ant CD you owned, I remember my Nan had "Centre Stage" on tape, as well as The Main Event CD, Midnight Dreaming and Back In The Swing- all of which I was subjected to before I became a Warlovian myself. I still remember the day Centre Stage died- it finally gave in to the heat of the car and warped to the extent that Ant suddenly had an amazing new vocal range We bought it on CD the next day. V How many things do you have signed by Ant? |

^ Just my program from Sydney. I'm not greedy and I've only met him the once. So I'm happy that I actually got to meet my hero and at least have that. Lol, can you tell I grew up with very little? > The first Ant CD I bought was The Main Event off eBay. Heck, it was the only way I could get it! Of course, that was also the first time I heard "This Is The Moment" and I knew then and forever more that I would always be a Warlovian.  V When did you last have your hair cut? |
