Joy of Joys!
:hello :

Last night I had the pleasure of the company of a multitude of young Pop Idols, and young PI fans, and quite a large selection of older PI fans gradually succumbing to the teeny-pop idol joy that is screeching your lungs out whenever Will or Gareth appeared on the video screen during the advert for the PI video, before the show had even started.

Yes indeed, panto season arrived early! Images of Simon Cowell elicited booing. Most of them got some kind of cheer, but most people saved themselves for Will, Gareth, Darius and Zoe. Both Darius and Zoe were pretty popular, but it was the final two that invoked the Health and Safety rules on noise in an enclosed space. Volume for the pair was pretty much even and from all the same people, but if forced to differentiate, I'd say Will got cheered as opposed to out and out pant-wetting swoon inducing squealing for Gareth. I must confess to joining in on this, but sniggering at it too. I am clearly beyong such imature, obsessive behaviour, and was merely indulging in a little post-modern irony.

There was much pre-concert entertainment to be had by the panto style cheering of the PI video advert (that didn't even have the sound on). It was fine during the early stages of it, because the shots of our lovely stars were on screen for long enough for people to swallow their candy-floss, or look-up from their £10 program in time to join in with the appropriate response. However, later on, things got a bit manic, and you might find yourself accidentally cheering Simon Cowell, or worse - booing Gareth.

What? You want to know about the actual concert and singing? I'll have to get back to you on that, because I've got some "stuff" I need to do, but I promise to return to explain why I've marked 8th April in my diary with a big happy face, and the mystery of Zoe not appearing in the finale. Actually, I can't explain that, but I'll tell you more, but if anyone knows about it, please let me know. It's really annoying me.
