Not all fans I know who've been around since the start are happy about Robbie being back,although it is mainly the newbies like me.

And maybe,I do always feel better after a rant,lol.

Oh and I am a true fan,at least of my 4,ask anyone on here who knows me how utterly obsessed I am.

:joker:

A FAKE fan? Yeah cos seeing them live 8 times(7 of which weren't even in my country) and buying all their merchandise and watching all the progammes they're ever on,buying all the magazines they're ever in,knowing way too much about them. I am a massive Take That fan,I have just never liked Robbie.

I hate to be the bearer of the bad news, but none of them are yours, never mind 4 !!! heh heh!!:blush:

The point I'm trying to put across is that 'true' fans are the ones who have been there since the very start -as the band formed - they are in a better position to comment, as Take That were not formed as only having the 4 members that you grew up knowing the band to be.

I can understand your reasoning, but you have to also understand that your perception of Take That, was a reformed version of the band. It's understandable that you may not like 'someone else' joining - which again though, if you were a fan of the band, and such a big fan: you'd welcome the addition if the 4 members were happy with it. Surely?

the point you are not picking up on is: Take That was 5 members, with Robbie. I don't see how you can differentiate being a massive fan but state you dislike on of the band members. Surely any massive fan, takes the band as a band, and not as individuals?

But they never were my 5 for me,in the time I've liked them they've been a 4. Yeah they were a 5 but I wasn't a fan then. I don't see Robbie as a member,I see him as a solo artist cos that's what what he was when I became a Take That fan.

Oh and the 'my' thing,I always do that,we all do,we call them 'our boys'. Basically you're saying logically I should like Robbie?? I didn't say I was being logical.

Imposter.

Robbie is an idiot :nono:

I'm so glad you decided to say that....!! I do understand where you are coming from, but I still maintain that if you were such a huge, obsessive fan, you would welcome a member into the band, as warming as the '4' band members are doing so. It's all about accepting what 'the band' want, that's sort of the angle I'm coming from.

I was pulling your leg about you calling them 'my 4', you know, a bit of banter, bit of light heartedness.

Should,would and all that. Tried,didn't really manage it. It's just cos I'm in such a bad mood he's riled me up again. I'll never like him but hopefully I'll get used to him like I thought I had already. Old habits die hard and all that.

I really dont like him.
Bring back 4-piece TT!

Oh stop teasing Laura. She's too young to have been a fan from the 90's.

*puts on '4 band members minus Robbie' Take That tracks, and makes soothing noises*

Sorry I'm laughing but it does seem that you are getting a wee bit bent out of shape over something you have no control over. I'm not mocking you, I'm only saying you can't do anything about it - best to accept it, enjoy Take That as the band and continue enjoying their music.

That doesn't negate or invalidate anyone else comments though.....

Thanks Enid :)

Yeah I know I'm getting annoyed about something I can't control! But they are a huge part of my life. Robbie just riles me,hopefully I'll get over it eventually.

Laura discovered Take That when they reformed and she has always disliked Robbie so I can totally understand why she would be pissed off now.

For me that would like.... playing a video game based on the movie remake. Umm... nevermind. Bad analogy.

Damn, first infidelity and now Robbie. TT are causing you much heartache, Laura LOL.

:laugh: thank you! Yep they are,my friend said it was like a fricking boyfriend,they keep 'hurting' me and I just keep going back cos I can't imagine life without them,lol!

who is 'Laura'?

Oh, sorry.

My imaginary friend.

:tongue:

I am.

Scrooge is Laura

Now's a good a time as any to expand your horizons just a little bit I think!!

D:

lol well said Frank

I hope I don't come across as a Laura :nono:
