Ooooh see you there! I know loads of people going the 4th,I'm going by myself *is cool* I'm gonna try and get 5th tickets closer to the time,cos last year at the O2 concert the guy sitting next to us said he got a single ticket at the last minute for a tenner!
edit:Have you never been to a TT concert before? They're out of this world.

MarkWaldorf
01-11-2008, 03:11 PM

I don't ask for much,just TT stuff. After Dublin though,it'll be 5,I highly doubt they'll see my need to go to another one.
Princess
01-11-2008, 03:22 PM
Oh and I'm paying for everything,they just lend me loads of money.

I don't either. I guess I'll have a job at the time so I can probably pay for another one...but my parents never would.
Princess
01-11-2008, 03:25 PM
I really need a job. My parents give me a certain amount each month now for everything-train tickets,food etc. So I figure if I just don't do anything except buy train tickets I should have it in a few months... Plus Christmas and babysitting money.
And the uni people are giving me 100 euro for travel expenses once I start placements.
MarkWaldorf
01-11-2008, 03:31 PM
Oh yeah you babysit!

Yeah she is but she's been missing in action for 5 days now. No photogs have seen her for about a week. There's been no confirmation either.

Oooh that's strange! Well I hope she goes.

01-11-2008, 04:30 PM
Ooooh he does actually!
Well yeah,because they got loads of them.
I'm just thinking now,because I'm paying for all these tickets,my parents can't really say no,can they? As long as I pay them back for everything. Hmmm.
MarkWaldorf
01-11-2008, 04:32 PM
Yeah but they wont want you to be paying them too much :tongue:
Princess
01-11-2008, 04:33 PM
I.e they don't want to let me so much because I know I'll find it near impossible to pay it all back.
I'm so selling my stuff.
MarkWaldorf
01-11-2008, 04:36 PM

Princess
01-11-2008, 04:37 PM

I saw the album sampler - sounds like there'll be some good tracks!
My Mum was like "No doubt that'll be top of your Xmas list!" when I told her Take That were releasing new stuff - I normally get any Take That stuff from my Mum and my brother as my bloke absolutely cannot stand them and my family remember when I liked them first time round so it brings back memories for them with me being a fan 15 years on.

You get tickets for the tour Nicola?
Nicola
05-11-2008, 05:22 PM
Not yet, was looking into the Sunderland venue earlier as that's nearest to me but I thought it would be expensive. I go on the Official Forums a bit and am working on my own fansite for them as well.
I've been a fan for 15 years and never actually been to a concert, although I have all their albums and the first time around my bedroom wall was covered in posters (if I had my way I'd have pics of them all over the house but my bloke would throw darts at them!)
Princess
05-11-2008, 05:28 PM
Ooooh you should go! Ooooh do you post on the forum? Whats your username? I've posted a bit but I prefer lurking to be honest.
You've never been! Wow. Maybe it's good though,I got so addicted last tour that I'm going 6 times to this one,TT concerts are like drugs,I swear! :laugh:
Oh god my room is COVERED! At 18 I should know better :laugh:
Nicola
05-11-2008, 05:43 PM
My username is "Nicola" same as on here - I tend to use my real name a lot on Forums.
I remember having Take That posters on my wall until they split up (I'd just gone 14 at the time) and then my Dad wanted to redecorate a year later and kind of discouraged me to pin stuff up after, I'd liked a few different boybands after Take That split up and when I was 18 I was kind of talked out of it all, but soon fought back otherwise I'd have hung onto all them posters.
Princess
05-11-2008, 05:45 PM
Oooh I think I might have seen you around. I think the TT forum is quite clichey,which is why I don't really post much.
Awwww did you get rid of the posters? Thats a shame! I'm glad you fought back,lol.
Nicola
05-11-2008, 05:50 PM
Yeah I post the odd time, I'm the same as on here and tend to be a bit shy, I know what it's like to be left out of cliques and people meeting up etc.
I think my Mum had some of the posters in the house, they've cleaned the loft a few times since then so I don't know what she's done with them - she might have hung onto them for sentimental value like she did with my brother's favourite book from childhood!
Princess
05-11-2008, 05:52 PM
Ooh it would be good if you still have some. I'm glad my mum keeps literally everything single thing that may have even a little sentimental value. I still have all my Spice Girls stuff from back when I was a kid.

Got my Dublin tickets!!!!!!!
*stressful story*
I get up at 5.30,feel insane. Fall asleep on 6.20 train into town. Get into town at about 7.10. Walk up to Grafton Street,see people queuing outside the shopping centre,not sure if for TT I go and sit down in the park. Come back 10 mins later-find out is queue-join queue.
This was about 7.35,at 8.00 they let us into the shopping centre(the queue at this point had grown quite a bit) and allow like 15/10 people to queue in front of Ticketmaster with the rest of us waiting just behind. I'm in the longer queue for about 20 minutes and move foward. Queue there for about 15 minutes. When at the top of the queue I realise I don't know which pin is for the credit card,ring my mum she gives me the pin. Top of queue-ask for 2 general admission,enter pin-wrong pin.Try different pin-wrong pin. Ring my mum-I have the wrong card! I start stressing and *ahem* sorta banged my head off the desk.
I try a pin thats on the Sky+ and my card gets locked.So the guy saves my 2 tickets and gives me an hour and a half to get the cash. My mum is trying to ring my dad(whose card it is) and get the pin and gets it just as I leave the queue! Apprentley she intreruppted him in a meeting-oppsy. So I leg it down to an ATM,grab the money,leg it back up to the shopping centre and I go to the top of the queue(a few people gave me evils but I just told them I had already queued). Give the guy the money and get my tickets-yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! About 8.45 when I got them.
Ooh funny things which happened-a girl and her mum walking in at 8.00,looking really happy,don't notice the queue,then they do and just like 'OH' and have to go the back!
Also the amount of weird looks we all got! And 'what are they queueing for?' And the 'Take That' reply with a 'Oh god' type of voice! Cheek of them! Even the security guards were mocking us! I heard a few people call us 'dedicated'.
Awwwww and the guy behind was queuing for his mum who was in hospital-how nice!
Anyways so I have all my dates now-1 Dublin,2 Manc and 3 London. I cannot get anymore!

M&S campaign
TAKE THAT will star in Marks & Spencer’s festive TV ad — with a host of Christmas crackers.
Fans can see GARY BARLOW, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD enjoying a snowball fight.
And they frolic with M&S ad regulars MYLEENE KLASS and NOEMIE LENOIR — as MACY GRAY sings Winter Wonderland.
The commercial for Marks — famed for being easy to return goods — starts on Wednesday during Corrie on ITV1.
Gary said: “We were really excited to take part. It’s not Christmas without the M&S TV ad, is it?"
Gary given his own record label
SIMON COWELL had better look out – a talented, younger and more popular music mogul is shaping up to steal his crown.
Industry insiders at the bash revealed GARY BARLOW has been given his own record label by his Universal bosses so he can snap up hot new acts.
He has already started work signing his first artist – a young male singer – and the lucky lad is now working with Gary and songwriting pal CATHY DENNIS.
The lucrative agreement is Gary’s reward from Universal’s head honcho LUCIAN GRAINGE for the amazing success of TAKE THAT’s comeback.
An industry source said last night: “It’s a masterstroke. With Gary’s incredible writing ability and contacts, the acts will be in the best possible hands.”
Gary is a busy man.
Take That sang at last night’s awards, he is working on their new album and he has also been training to climb Kilimanjaro with Comic Relief – and me – in February.

Christmas TV special
TAKE That are filming a new telly special, TV Biz can reveal.
The one-off spectacular will feature classic hits like Shine as well as songs from the group’s new album, The Circus.
It will be recorded in front of a live studio audience in Manchester and is set to be shown on ITV1 next month.
It comes just before Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange embark on their biggest-ever UK tour.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “The grand spectacle promises a real treat, and some surprises.”

Irish Indepedent
The boys are back
With a new album out in December, the original boy band Take That are back for good. Howard and Jason speak to Edel Coffey about the band's break-up and how it nearly drove Howard to suicide, and their phenomenal comeback
Friday November 07 2008
In a swish hotel in London's posh Kensington, Take That are holed up, older, wiser and more stylish. A chintzy suite has been turned into a holding cell for journalists where giant speakers blast out the new album, The Circus, due for release next month.
In another suite down the corridor, and past a bored security guard, one half of Take That, Howard and Jason, sit beside a roaring open fire, a beautiful bed, with rugs and love seats scattered round the room.
It's like something from a Mills & Boon novel, or a Take That fan's fantasy catalogue. Minus the PR crony leaning against the door jamb, that is.
They're both devastatingly handsome, looking all the better for having acquired a few lines around their faces, and healthy suntans too.
They're very polite, just as you would imagine Take That to be, and when they do speak, their Mancunian accents are unblemished.
Before the band reunited in late 2005 after a 10-year break, Mark, Gary and Robbie pursued solo careers with varying degrees of success, while Howard and Jason spent that decade in the wilderness.
The split took an especially heavy emotional toll on Howard, to the extent that he contemplated suicide. He tries joking about it.
"The Thames had gone out. If I'd have jumped in I would have been stuck in the mud." When pushed, he says he thought about it seriously.
"It did cross my mind one night. I was in a bad place and, you know, I might have had an argument with someone. I was just in a bad place and I just didn't want to... go on," he laughs at the clichéd melodrama.
"I thought about life, I suppose, and thought it probably would be crazy to do something like that. But yeah, I was a bit depressed for a bit after the band and I didn't know what to do and where I was going.
"I think when you leave three other guys who are your friends and who you've been working with and having a laugh with over the last six years ... it's all that that you lose."
Jason had a more detached view, taking the opportunity to travel and return to college. "It was an adjustment, I think, you know we all make adjustments with our lives periodically, don't we?
"We go from one job to another and one relationship to another perhaps, and life is about making adjustments. We all knew at the time that Take That wasn't going to be a forever thing.
"We knew it was a project really for four or five years. We weren't the Rolling Stones.
"I know it sounds a bit weird after what Howard's just said where he wanted to kill himself after the band split, but I'm talking about myself here. So when it came it was almost to be expected."
Despite holding the view that Take That was a temporary project, now that they are back together, does he worryit might be the only job he is fit to do?
"I always thought it was going to be a temporary thing and there's thousands of things to do in life -- study, travel, become a doctor, millions of things, get married, have kids - and Take That was just a chapter in a long life hopefully.
"That was my mentality the first time. But coming back to it now, and I'm 38 now, I'm thinking, I went back to college and I got a few qualifications, but I didn't really get skilled in anything. I didn't become a doctor, I didn't go on to university after my college and I'm not a qualified barrister, I'm not an engineer. And now and again I've had the insecure thought of 'Oh God! Maybe I am just a pop star'. Whereas over the years I always thought being a pop star or playing a pop star's role was just one part of my character and I could be other things.
"But I haven't been other things. I've only ever been a pop star. So yeah, I do worry."
Howard chirps up, "It's not such a bad thing, though is it?"
"No it's not a bad thing as long as people keep liking Take That," says Jason. "But if they don't then we're out of work, mate. There's no options."
Unlike other band reunions, Take That have released new material this time round, and The Circus is the first time they have all written together.
"We've all had certain life experiences, we can all contribute," says Jason gently, "even if it's in much smaller ways than say one or two of the other members."
He and Howard contribute lyrically and with backing vocal melodies, while Gary Barlow and Mark Owen are the songwriters in the band. Were there any tensions when it came to writing the album, considering Barlow wrote the lion's share of their records until now?
"I think musically we all know Gary's talent and songwriting capabilities and also Mark's a great songwriter," says Howard. "Sometimes you have to step back to say that is right.
"For instance, if we see a melody going somewhere or a chord going somewhere Gary will be on the piano and saying 'no, this one will work better' and nine times out of 10 he'll be right."
They wanted the album to have a 'mini-concept' that went from childhood to old age. "Then we got rose one night and we thought 'flower it'," says Howard.
They're still clearly close as friends, although they joke about why they've been separated for interviews. "The four of us, it's a great friendship, absolutely great, great bond," says Howard. I'm not so sure the album would be as good as it is without that bond and friendship."
They're all in different situations now. Howard has two children, a three-year-old daughter called Lola in Germany and a nine-year-old daughter in the south of England and a girlfriend in Germany too. "I'm not going to mention the one in Japan," he laughs.
Jason remains vague about his love life. "Nah, I don't have any kids, I'm not married or anything.
"There's a vague plan," he says regarding marriage, "we'll see what happens."
Next June, they return to Dublin for a concert in Croke Park, but after that there are no concrete plans.
Might Robbie Williams, the rogue member, ever be part of the equation again?
"I reckon we'd have him back and I reckon he's going to come back eventually," says Jason. He pauses and says, "If we stay together long enough."
Take That play Croke Park on Saturday 13 June with special guests The Script

Guardian
You're never supposed to interview people you fancy. It's asking for bother. It compromises you as a journalist, it makes you blush and stutter; it's not cool. But I fancy Take That far too much to turn down the opportunity when I was asked to interview them for this Sunday's Observer Music Monthly.
Of all the men in all the world, I haven't fancied anyone for as long, and as consistently, as I've fancied Take That. I started fancying them 17 years ago, when they first became famous, and have fancied them - pretty much without reprieve - ever since. It's actually been a bit exhausting, but they've got that combination of northern working-class rawness, glamour and back-flips going for them – and oh, it works for me. (I also adore their music; I've never known which came first, or even if you can separate the lust from the love.) This doesn't make me special. Take That were hand-picked by their original manager, Nigel Martin-Smith, to make magnificent pop music, but also to inspire lust in pretty much the entire world, which they promptly did. And why not?
When they first reformed, nearly three years ago, Take That were in their mid- to late-30s; their public wondered if they'd still be able to cut it as pop icons and sex symbols. It transpired that they could – the pop was definitely still there, and if the dewy, glowing youth has been replaced by something rather more craggy and manly, well, that was OK; as an added bonus, they'd kept their hair and their abs. Take That are annoyingly humble, they wear sex icon status lightly; they don't really like talking about it. But I asked them anyway.
"Ah," said Mark Owen, who was the most adored of the group, on account of his prettiness. "It was all a bit chaotic really."
"I just never understood why they were all ... always ... screaming," said Howard Donald, looking genuinely confused. "And they were so young ... 14, 13, 12 ... and ... just ... screaming. I thought it was ... stupid, really. And Mark had the most fans, and that really didn't make any sense, didn't understand that one ..."
I put it to Mark, that they were selling sex. He didn't like the question.
"Yeah. Or, erm ... I didn't ... see it, in that way, then. We were sexual. We had a lot of energy, and it was a great feeling. I didn't look at it as ... what's the word? As calculated. As cynical. As 'selling sex'. Now, though, when you look at it ..." He tails off. I think of the 1991 video for Do What U Like, in which they had jelly eaten off their semi-naked bodies by Lycra-clad models. "At the time, I thought we were just having a laugh."
How much easier do they think it is to get girls when you're a pop star? Statistically?
"Oh, 100 per cent," said Gary Barlow. "Hundred per cent."
"I don't think it's any easier," contradicts Jason Orange. "Really. I don't. Put it this way. When I was at the height of my fame, the first time around, I've got five brothers – and at least three of them had many more girlfriends than I did. I was grafting my nuts off on the road, getting a little kiss here, and a little cuddle there, while them ... they were sorting women out, left, right and centre."

MarkWaldorf
