Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 11 Dec 2003 at 22:06 GMT

Blimey, it feels like ages since I was last here! How is everyone? Sick of Christmas already? Working in retail, I know I am! I've been spending most of my time writing my Oxford set gay comedy, attending Doctor Who events and getting back with and splitting up with Rob yet again. And writing a panto to be staged in June(!)

Hello! back, love!
Grand to hear from you again!
Sounds like you're plenty busy - so what you doing coming out to play again?

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 11 Dec 2003 at 22:10 GMT

I missed you all! Oh, it's great to be back amongst you all without sounding too sentimentally mawkish.

I have and I must say I am very impressed- a good, soild dose of atmosphere, and Richard E. Grant is great! I went to panopticon, and it was good in parts, shite in others.

You never know your luck- shared bodily warmth and all that. Don't worry, the convention was a let down. Getting pissed on the dance floor with Nick Briggs, India Fisher, Gary Gillat and Nev Fountain was the highlight, and pressing every button on the TARDIS console prop- every fanboy's pathetic dream! And getting stoned in two friend's hotel room. The rest was bog standard and badly run. Andrew Beech's trademark.

Since you two people are on the very subject - I heard Eddie Izzard talking about Dr Who today but couldn't hear well enough what he was going on about - what's the gossip? Is he gonna do a tranny version? A str8 version? or is he just talking bollocks again?

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 11 Dec 2003 at 22:27 GMT

he was quoted as saying if he was offered the part- which he hasn't, and nor has anyone else- he would turn it down. Russell T. Davis doesn't even begin thinking about writing stories- 13 possibly- until the new year, once other work commitments are finished. That its back in 2005 is the only concrete news.

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® h™ (in the United Kingdom) 11 Dec 2003 at 22:50 GMT

Hmm, soon, then

Nice to see you around again, Simon - still flirting with Rob? Well I'm not really surprised, but if anything real's going to happen there it won't be for a few years I fear.

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® mouse (in the United Kingdom) 11 Dec 2003 at 23:26 GMT

Simon - just in case you're in danger of listening to him, harpie had had a few beers and a couple of glasses of wine when he wrote the above.
As for myself, I've only had 2 glases of wine, and I say "nothing ventured, nothing gained", and that philosophy certainly worked for me - just think yourself lucky that you won't have to 'woo' Rob online!

sounds a right laugh still green with envey never got to touch the console prop yet

not to say i havent been having fun just not much who fun

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 13 Dec 2003 at 20:59 GMT

You know who i mean Mal! As to Rob, harpie and mouse, most definatly never again. I've taken off the rose tinted spectacles and had a good look at him, especially as yet another attempt to get back together fell apart after reluctance on his side to get properly involved. Once a week or so? DOn't think so- I don't do part time boyfriends. Apart from that, I'm feelling good at the mo.

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!

Oh, well - nobody can say you didn't try!

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 14 Dec 2003 at 15:30 GMT

And he was certainly trying! How are the pair of you anyway? My gay comedy set in Oxford is almost finished, and I'm thinking of seeing if it can be put on the stories section of the site in weekly episodes.

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!

We're doing fine, ta - apart from me having the dreaded lurgi at the moment.

look forward to seeing the comedy!

Hello Simon

Glad to read you are OK.

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® TisFrank (in the United Kingdom) 16 Dec 2003 at 12:03 GMT

Just who is this popular Simon guy?

Welcome back dear!

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
Simon (in the United Kingdom) 16 Dec 2003 at 12:52 GMT

He is me, Frank! Hi Jim-S, hope you are well. Oh, Watcher, don't forget the Doctor Who documentary at the end of December, and buy the Christmas Radio Times- there is a picture of a family of Daleks settling down to Christmas dinner, including a child Dalek!

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® Jim-S (in the United Kingdom) 16 Dec 2003 at 23:55 GMT

Hi Frank, Simon is a nice, sweet, dear young (well OK, not so young anymore ) fellow from Oxford. Used to post in here (and there - GTBR) a lot, but doesn't post that often anymore, rather like me really even if our reasons are slightly different... I think

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® Tintin (in the United Kingdom) 17 Dec 2003 at 00:09 GMT

Jesus Christ, for once Frank uses the emoticon, and no one notices...

Hello Simon, btw.

® River Thames (in the United Kingdom) 17 Dec 2003 at 09:12 GMT

Sorry Simon, only just saw your thread.

Welcome back to the BR, here's hoping you will stay around, we miss you terribly, and seasons greetings and best wishes for 2004 ((((((((((((Simon))))))))))))

Chris

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® TisFrank (in the United Kingdom) 17 Dec 2003 at 11:22 GMT

"we miss you terribly" isn't that a bit strong!

So you have a lot of friends in the BR Simon

why stay away so long?

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® Jim-S (in the United Kingdom) 17 Dec 2003 at 23:25 GMT

THAT's why he has soooo many friends

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® Jim-S (in the United Kingdom) 17 Dec 2003 at 23:26 GMT

just kidding

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® River Thames (in the United Kingdom) 18 Dec 2003 at 09:05 GMT

Is it a bit strong? I don't think so Frank, Simon was around in the early days of the BR, of which we have fond memories, and hes a great guy and so we miss him terribly, well I know I do anyway.

Jim, nice to see you around again, another so terribly missed in the BR, (((((((((((((Jim))))))))))))

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® Jim-S (in the United Kingdom) 19 Dec 2003 at 02:25 GMT

Why thank you River

I've never been away really, just haven't posted that frequently but I have checked in on an almost daily basis. It's been more to do with having the time to fully digest a thread an then post something meaningful.

Still, it is nice to be missed

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® River Thames (in the United Kingdom) 19 Dec 2003 at 08:24 GMT

Glad to hear you're still around Jim, and it would be nice to see more of you

Merry Christmas and very best wishes for 2004

love
Chris and Mike

I have! How dare you? I've put on a few pounds because of all the digestion

Re: Hi, guys, Simon saying hello!
® TisFrank (in the United Kingdom) 20 Dec 2003 at 11:07 GMT

Just a few pounds eh! Well your long enough to be able to take it!

Now less fattening stuff over Christmas mind!

Keep away from long sausages! Very Fattening!
