Interval 2 and Semi Writer Revelations

Interval Act 2 (by last year's Estonian Cowgirl) - Harrow - 2006-08-06 12:59:27pm
- Typical! Make us work our hands off while he's sunning himself in the Canaries - Yair - 2006-08-06 1:47:34pm
  :-)
  - Pity he couldn't enter this one. It's great. [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 2:26:28pm

Time to do some pissadancing and prepare for the first Semi revelation... - Yair - 2006-08-06 3:54:49pm
- Straining the bladder and jumping on the table ... [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 3:59:08pm

Semi 1 non-qualifiers Writer Revelation now up! - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:03:38pm
- slow to load and if you don't get all the way to Mr A you'll have to refresh and watch agin, sorry :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:09:17pm
- ROFL, ROFL... - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:12:22pm
  I think Rich is up for a special treat tonight!
- Wowza, Timoteus!!!!! [R] - suomigirl - 2006-08-06 4:15:40pm
  - Such a shame! Just when I had the chance to repay his generosity from last year... - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:23:33pm
    This masterpiece didn't even make the final :(
    - Yes, that and zombie song were my biggest faves this year, and failed to make it :( [R] - suomigirl - 2006-08-06 4:24:27pm
    - I liked the text myself but I didn't originally think it would be liked much. - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 4:28:43pm
      After all the positive comments here I started believing otherwise but well, it was a tough semi.
      - This is what I wrote about your gem ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:36:08pm
        Song No. 4 "Pissadansen" ... the first one I would have loved to reward with a douze - what a wonderful, true-to-life idea! Everyone who found him-/herself in such a situation just has to identify, and the tabledance bit is reality show at its best! Its only slight let-down is the last line, otherwise it would have been up there with the very best of them. It's got that subdued subtlety of Marianne, but I'm not sure whether she would talk about "pints".
        
        I was complimentary towards it too, but wondered about the last line as well. - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:40:43pm
        I'm afraid I didn't really get what it refered to, silly me.
        
        Anyone with a weakening bladder just had to get it, though ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:44:04pm
        ... I usually get into pissadansen mood in my car on the way to Zurich when I'm behind schedule and would miss the start of one of my presentations if I gave in!
        
        I did and do too, - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:47:32pm
        but not the Judo fight :)
        
        Right ... you feel so relieved after the "deed" (and believe me, I'm not proud of all the places I had to grace...) ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:51:41pm
        ... that you are more likely to hug a stranger in the street!
        
        Let me explain it: - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 4:58:05pm
        I had no single idea for it and I wrote the text mainly in the last day (though I had the general idea for it in February when I started wondering why she wails so much) and pretty much at the latest possible moment for me (though not exactly at the deadline hours). Leaving the line empty wasn't an option, neither was repeating the line as it was because it wouldn't have worked with the storyline. Threatening the toilet-occupier was the only thing I could come up with and IMO the haja's in the song sound pretty much like something you'd expect from a judoka.
        
        I knew it was far from a good choice but it was the least bad I could find. :o)
        
        Aha, makes sense now! - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:00:09pm
        It's actually not that bad a choice, now that I get it :)
        
        It is... - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 5:00:56pm
        ...if it's nearly impossible to get. :-)
        
        No need for excuses, in any other semi it would have gone straight to the final! [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:01:26pm
        
        Absolutely! [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:02:17pm
    - So that's the one you thought I wrote? :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 5:47:32pm
- and a change to the schedule, revelation shows will be evry hour, the interval is pushed back 1 hr - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:20:19pm
  Sorry but otherwise the shows won't be ready. Had my nephews and niece rund for dinner.
  - Bad family!!! Now it won't fit around Lindenstrasse! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:21:38pm
    - and now a long lost friend from Italy! I'm being rude though! :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:35:57pm
- LOL....some great surprises. WTG all :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:20:42pm
  - Indeed! And I'm glad I didn't do any guesses. [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:23:37pm
- LOL, Harri... - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:26:20pm
  Shame it's not a picture contest ;)
  - OK - that wasn't meant to sound bitchy! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:46:27pm
- So when are the semi qualifiers revealed? [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:27:40pm
  - With the final, half an hour til next semi, then 3rd semi (1hr 1/2) then final (2 hr 1/2) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:33:13pm
    - Gotcha mate. Thx and great show :-))) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:35:24pm
- Great show, well done Harrow :) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:28:54pm
  Some big surprises indeed, and LOL @ Ines picture instead of Alexander's ;))
  - And you... - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:31:49pm
    Now THAT was a good surprise. Harrow kept it away from me all this time :))
    - Did he? ;) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:36:36pm
      It's been hell for me to keep quiet about this during all this time ;)
      I wasn't sure to do this at all but it's been real fun "working" with Harrow :)
      Still, I feel a bit embarrased now, LOL ;)
      - You needn't be, and I'm *so* looking forward to your interpretation of my songs! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:39:48pm
        
        I'm also looking forward to knowing which are your songs :)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:44:43pm
        
        It must have been fab to sing those songs without having a clue about who wrote it ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:48:07pm
        ... and I'm sure you did not notice that you were one of the guys "Torero" was dedicated to! ;)
        
        It was great indeed :) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:51:31pm
        And no, I had no idea about "Torero", but I'm flattered ;)
        BTW, got your mail, thanks a lot, will reply later, we agree a lot about the meeting :)
      - Fantastic Jordi! LOL....who knew :-)) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:39:55pm
        
        Thanks mate :) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:44:54pm
      - You did a wonderful job indeed! :) - srg - 2006-08-06 5:04:15pm
        Btw I hope you got a nice impression of us yesterday - I had the feeling that maybe we talked too much about our own topics, which could have bored you a bit.
        
        Gràcies Sergio :) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:14:47pm
        Not at all, I loved meeting you guys and I hope we'll repeat that some other day before November :))
        Hope you got a nice impression of me, I don't talk much, you see ;)
        
        Same here - it was mostly José Manuel and Víctor who spoke :))) [R] - srg - 2006-08-06 5:16:07pm
        
        and yes, we found you very nice! :) [R] - srg - 2006-08-06 5:18:47pm
        
        Hugs! :) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:21:03pm
        
        You don't talk much? - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:39:57pm
        <scratching head>
        
        LOL! ;) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:43:42pm
        I'm shy, and *you* know it! ;))
  - You were the biggest surprise! Well done :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:37:10pm
    - Awww... Thanks, Frank! :)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:39:26pm
- And one last thing...the list doesn't show up. Is it possible to see the list w/o going thru the whole shabang again? [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:33:33pm
  - I'll put a link in a bit, it's at http://www.partyvision.co.uk/alc2006/s1/writersresults.html [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 4:34:55pm
- ROFL here, too ... best kept secret in ALC history, those Jordi interpretations are such a hoot! - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:34:19pm
  Even "Torero" sounds soft and tender in his interpretation!
  
  That said, I did not have a clue about anyone in here, even though Javi does not come as such a surprise.
  
  And he was robbed!
  - I'm so glad you wrote the brilliant Torero! I gave you more than 10% of your votes :-))) - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:39:33pm
    And more than 90% of Harri's..LOL
    
    :-)
    - And you didn't write "Hard Cock", thankfully! So I expect you in the final with a song from this semi ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:42:15pm
      ... and you will most certainly be rewarded for what I expect you to be ;)
      
      I did not even target you with "Torero", I'm flattered ...
      - We'll find out soon enough :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:48:20pm
        
        There is a tiny little aspect of the song I associate with you ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:52:54pm
        ... which makes it likely that it's been written by a non-European ;)
  - And so were you! My favourite non-qualifier from all 3 semis [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 4:39:42pm
    - Remember when I was teasing you? ;) - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:41:06pm
      It was an acquired taste, though ...
      - I do indeed - it all makes sense now - sorry you didn't make it with 'Torero' [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 4:44:13pm
        
        Oh, I'm happy about the result - big improvement on last year's entries of shame! [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:48:44pm
    - Your song was an absolute gem David. I was gutted it didn't qualify :-)) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 4:41:06pm
      - Thanks, didn't expect it to really - but your comments were very kind, Cheers bud! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 4:42:45pm
  - I had no idea "Torero" was yours ;) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:43:43pm
    I voted for it, though! :))
    - ROFL ... see above! - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:49:22pm
      I just had to come up with something for my Spanish guys, but somehow it got out of hands!
      - Now that Frank has mentioned it below... - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 4:56:30pm
        Actually, I *did* think about you while I read the "Dutch on my face" line in it, but after all I thought sombebody else could have used your joke :)
        It's better this way, though. I like to be surprised ;)
  - Oh, hang on, I did make half a guess - Frank - 2006-08-06 4:46:08pm
    This is what I told Harrow:
    "The „dutch on my face“ part in Torero is a Thomas-invention, but anyone could have borrowed that phrase, of course."
    and then I moved on, thinking that it was a case of borrowing :))
    - The problem was that all of my entries, in the end, were pretty obvious ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:50:23pm
      ... so I came up with the "fishing" idea to make it seem a little less banal.
    - The only guess I made correctly.... - Yair - 2006-08-06 4:54:03pm
      „"I want beans" was written by someone who's not frequent, and probably didn't even bother to read "At the Tesco"“
      
      Hello Rachel, whoever you are! :)
      - That's why I was kind of shocked when Jonas thought "Beans" was written by me ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:59:24pm
        ... it would have been a disgrace, after worshipping "At The Tesco" so much that "The Tescos" came along!
      - I LOVED I Want Beans - that one got big points from me! :-))) [R] - Luke - 2006-08-06 5:03:01pm
        
        Thomas called it the ballad version of At the Tesco and that's what it was. - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:38:22pm
        Copying is paying a compliment, I know, but I wasn't feeling complimented, I'm afraid :)
        
        I wasn't feeling complimented either when I was one of the suspects of who had written it ... [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:43:56pm
- Nice job guys! I've said all along that if I were a non-qualifier from semi 1 I'd be well miffed! I found... - Luke - 2006-08-06 4:52:43pm
  ...that semi tougher to vote for than the final.
  - Hey, I thought you were on holiday??? - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 4:54:13pm
    Can't wait for the revelation of your finalist!
    - Me? Chance would be a fine thing! You are confusing me with Alex... - Luke - 2006-08-06 5:02:00pm
      ...something you could never do in real life I'm sure! LOLOL I still think my hunch about your song could be a good one, but we'll see! :-))))
      - Glad you are around ... ;) [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:03:33pm

Semi 2 non-qualifiers revealed - Harrow - 2006-08-06 5:03:02pm

LOL....I get credit for my entry in the list, but not in the show. Hehehehe :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:09:40pm
- Whoops! Sorry mate! I *knew* I'd missed out your entry somewhere :os [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 5:11:07pm
  - No worries at all. Jonas is good enough for me :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:12:21pm
    - Confused ... I don't find the list and now I get semi 1 revelation when I click semi 2. "A Little Piece" is not Jonas? - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:29:55pm
      Well, I would have been surprised!
      
      And I would love to hear Jordi sing "I'm A Whore"!
      - http://www.partyvision.co.uk/alc2006/s2/writersresults.html [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:31:16pm
        
        So it was you! How on earth did you come up with that song and turned it into a lucky threesome? - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:37:02pm
        I would never, ever have expected you behind this one! ;)
        
        I thought "this is one Jeremy would give 12 to" when I read it! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 5:38:03pm
        
        LOL! I actually had this written out a few months ago.... ;-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:39:54pm
        
        LOL....well it's the only one of that C/A that didn't qualify :-)) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:39:16pm
        
        It's the strangest coincidence this year ... 3 versions of that song, and 2 of them qualifying. [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:44:57pm
        
        Is it necessarily a coincidence though? - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 5:46:31pm
        Just a wild thought...
        
        ... share it! I've got no clue. [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:49:49pm
        
        I'm as puzzled as you about how there can be three versions of that song... - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 5:54:31pm
        ...all of them covering the ENGLISH version of it, not the original. (No other author used the possibility of sending another language version or if they did, it wasn't marked and I didn't download it). Also the writing style of the entries is IMO pretty similar even though the themes differ.
        
        Thus, a principle called Occam's razor is handy. Even though it's far-fetched and even though I'm likely to be wrong, they COULD be all written by the same person, in this case, Jeremy. That seems the least unlikely to me. If there's a non-qualifier by Jeremy in the next semi, that proves it wrong, of course.
        
        ROFL ... fascinating idea! - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:56:22pm
        Let's stay puzzled until the final, then ... but the fact that they are written in a similar style might be due to the structure of the song, too.
        
        Yes, you're right, the similarities might indeed be there due to the song alone. [R] - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 5:59:31pm
        
        Interesting theory mate :-)))) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:59:44pm
        
        Hmm ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:01:59pm
        ... somehow we kind of know it is not true, though, don't we?
        
        Yup [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:06:09pm
        
        We don't yet. :P [R] - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 6:06:59pm

ROFLMAO@Yair's comment! [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:11:04pm
- ;-) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 5:14:09pm
  - ROFL indeed! :)) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:20:41pm
    Not an easy song to sing either ;)
    - I had no clue it was him, but needless to say he managed to fish for me more successfully than he had intended to ... [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:52:38pm

Even more surprising and even more happy that I didn't do guesses on this one :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:13:48pm
- LOL @ your comment too, Frank! :)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:21:59pm

Elin... - Yair - 2006-08-06 5:19:21pm
LOL!! :-)))
- Yair... - Elin - 2006-08-06 7:40:57pm
  Xxxxx :)

Thomas!!! - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:20:16pm
"I Sue", I KNEW IT! :)))))))
- Yes! Probably the most obvious of my threesome and the one I like best ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:24:35pm
  ... but then again, it was dedicated to me!
  - Gosh another of the songs I liked a lot - I think I'm your bggest fan - hope you made the FINAL in semi 3! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 5:27:34pm
    - Thanks, mate - I appreciate it! Well, "Torero" and "I Sue" share some genetic codes, but my entry in semi 3 is different - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:30:54pm
      ... you might not like it that much!
      - I'm intrigued now! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 5:39:45pm
  - It's obvious now, but I never would've guessed! [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:36:17pm
    - Needless to say I was very pleased that you found it at least mildly amusing ... [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:37:54pm
      - Take out the word mildly!! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:42:14pm
        
        I do, I do ... and you know what? - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:47:33pm
        The fact that you did not send "Infallible" straight to the final makes me even more certain that I did what I did yesterday night!
        
        It's like some kind of soduko ...

LOLOL@Laura Malice [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:25:38pm
- Great pic! Why can't we download them? [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 5:28:25pm
  - Cos it's flash, but I might do a rogues gallery after ALC :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 5:43:19pm
- She so needs a Groupster profile! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:41:10pm

Great show, Harrow :))) [R] - Amutrejk - 2006-08-06 5:36:48pm
- It is, it is! And so surprising - which is a tough thing to achieve by now! [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:38:53pm
- BTW, Amutejk... ;) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:42:25pm
  The line "Ugly girl playing violin for 2 minutes", was priceless. Loved it :)
  - And you sang that one perfectly, I was impressed! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 5:43:01pm
    - *blush* ;)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:45:06pm
      - I just love Jordi singing the rude stuff in such an unimpressed way! "Sex In A Van" was so cool, too ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:48:52pm
        ... where is the author, by the way?
        
        And where is Geert who wrote my favourite intro in that semi?
        
        Tsk!
        
        You know?, Harrow wanted me to sing the whole "I had sex in a van" song ;) - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 5:58:02pm
        I refused because it's not in my tone (tune?), maybe I'll give it a thought ;)
        "I'm a whore" was cool to sing too, because "Je t'adore" is in my tone :)
  - It's one of those "what the singer really wanted to say" entries. I always enjoy those - Frank - 2006-08-06 5:45:20pm
    This sneeky one not being an exception! :)
  - :)) [R] - Amutrejk - 2006-08-06 5:55:18pm

Geert!!! - Lota - 2006-08-06 5:51:50pm
Your "granny" was my douze in semi two. I liked it very much :))
- I just loved the intro ... I still can't believe it didn't do better! [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:01:07pm

hmm .. at least the only guess I openly made was right (but then who else but my neighbour would mention Utrecht) .. - Ben NL - 2006-08-06 6:25:39pm
but two Alexander songs are already out :-(((((

and WOW @ Laura Malice :-)

Haha, I see some of my guesses were right!
Posted by Jonas on 2006-08-06 5:46:34pm

And once again Elin has stood for some of the most hilarious entries in their own way ;) And of course, I should have known Rich wrote the Brain song... his entries always seem to top my lists somehow ;)

I guessed Alexander's entry, would *never* have guessed Yair's :) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:49:42pm
- Alexander was very easy, and he will be so pleased that he ended up one point higher than me ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:51:09pm
  ... he will be less pleased about the number of my points heading his way so far, though ;).
  - I was generous with both of you (well you in Semi 1) :-)) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:51:56pm
    - I guess I helped to both get you to the final and to make you stay in the semi ... ;) [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:54:02pm
      - LOL! Clever :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:54:53pm
- Well, I think Yair must have been doing his best to reverse his talents ;-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 5:53:53pm
  - It was a great concept, though ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:54:37pm
    ... and I am proud to be one of those who prevented him from going nil points (sorry, Yair!)
    - Please tell us your thought behind giving it points, hehe [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 5:56:14pm
      - Sure ... this is what I wrote to Harrow. - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 5:58:11pm
        Song No. 22 "My Darling" - the concept to replace weird and wonderful lyrics by rather conventional ones got a certain appeal.
        
        And that's all I have to say, it's not that I have given it 12 points!
        
        The concept was indeed fine. I could have given it points myself... - Timoteus - 2006-08-06 6:02:09pm
        ...but the ending wasn't that conventional. A bitter remark like "I cannot bear the thought of the two of you sharing a home" didn't IMO really fit the mood of the song or the rest of the text. Anyway, the text was far from the worst of the semi.
      - It wasn't my cuppa tea but I loved that it had absolute no fishing, nothing obscene, and it was just a sweet sentimental - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 5:58:34pm
        entry....and very well written. Would never have thought, though that it was written by someone wo's in a loving and rewarding relationship

Awww, aren't you the sweetest, thanks! :)) - Elin - 2006-08-06 7:34:45pm
love the "in their own way" part ;)

You were spot on about what you said me... - ChrisMcr - 2006-08-06 7:55:30pm
It *has* been too long... ;-)

2 minutes and I will find out who will receive my personal "robbed but so much loved" award ...
Posted by Thomas ... let me dry harder! on 2006-08-06 5:59:25pm

... author of "Let Me Dry", you better get ready!

Well, I don't even know you ... so: Je t'adore ... But you told me no ...eh bien, zut alors! [R] - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:23:29pm

Alexander!!
Posted by Jonas on 2006-08-06 6:01:33pm

Damn, you really should have gone to the final!!!

Don't tell him ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:02:59pm
... I guess I am responsible that he didn't!
- Hehe :-) But but... - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:03:49pm
  I really had "Bla bla" as a favourite to win the whole thing when I read it!

I'm happy I voted for him heavily on semi 2 and 3. He *so* deserved to do better :) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:18:48pm
- As much as I love Alexander, I'm simply not his target when it comes to ALC. - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:22:21pm
  So will you be riding the Llama tonight? ;)
  - Of course! ;)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:23:21pm
  - ROFL ... I need to check my glasses - I thought I replied to Jonas ... - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:24:29pm
    ... as he is my main suspect for that one!
    - LOL. Why do people have such a kinky impression of me? :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:26:04pm
      - ... but it's not rude (which it could so easily have been)! And it's by someone who is in love with language ... - Thomas ... no more mwah mwhas! - 2006-08-06 6:28:23pm
        ... no wonder you are one of the prime suspects!
        
        You'll see in half an hour ;-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:32:34pm

3rd semi writers now up :) - Harrow - 2006-08-06 6:02:06pm

Oops, I see I was quicker that you, lol [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:04:15pm
- Hmm, I can't get past "Strangled" though...the thingie stucks there [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:05:07pm
  - http://www.partyvision.co.uk/alc2006/s3/writersresults.html [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:07:03pm
  - cos you started before it was all uploaded! [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 6:07:53pm
    - even after you posted the link, it wouldn't work ;-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:08:45pm
      - You might have to download it again if you tried to load it early - Gregor - 2006-08-06 6:13:31pm
        Your browser probably has the half movie in its cache. It works for me
        
        As the saying goes: Early bird catches the problems :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 6:14:31pm

Congrats Thomas! You're in the final (by process of elimination) :-)) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:05:52pm
- And so are you ;-) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:14:17pm
- Here, Here! And whichever it is - I like it!!! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 6:15:02pm
- Yes ... my dream came true and I am really, really happy about it. - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:20:07pm
  But that's where the story ends, this year ;)

LOL @ Ade's reaction! As for euroUSA's... - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:16:19pm
*mwah* :))
- So who finished 6th? We won't find out for a while yet!! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-06 6:17:14pm
- I don't get the story... - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:17:49pm
  Who is Bruno?
  - The bear his entry was about. And the reaction is a Mel Gibson parody btw :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-06 6:20:11pm
  - Story is here - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:20:12pm
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_the_bear
    
    There was a late night thread about him on the MB, but that's all the exposure the poor bear got here, before the song that is.
    - Thank you Harrow and Yair, I didn't know :)) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:22:15pm

I loved I'm Into Porn and the Pong entry :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:32:46pm
- Tsk! - Thomas ... let me dry harder!!! - 2006-08-06 6:33:52pm
  You make me feel filthy, now that I know you liked some of my stuff, too!
  - Nah. I love good writing :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:39:32pm
- "I'm into porn" was great :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:36:11pm

If you click through very fast, you can hear Jortsu in duet with himself :)) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 6:34:42pm
- LMAO!!! :))) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:39:31pm

Alexander :-((( Marianne :-((( Geert :-((( .. best wishes for next ALC ;-)) [R] - Ben NL - 2006-08-06 6:36:25pm
- Congratulations, by the way ... - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 6:39:57pm
  ... I guess you're in the final ;)
  - I'm not participating :-)) [R] - Ben NL - 2006-08-06 7:02:38pm
- Hey, Ben! :))) [R] - Jortsu - 2006-08-06 6:40:11pm
- But they made their best scores ever, if I'm not mistaken! :)) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:43:17pm
  - And orionas and Elin too :( [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:53:27pm
    - I loved Elin's Framling :-))) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:54:43pm
      - "Sakis and Maria" was great though :-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 7:18:40pm
      - Thanks darling :) [R] - Elin - 2006-08-06 7:42:44pm
        
        i was so pleased - RogerF - 2006-08-06 7:59:27pm
        that someone had put some Carola-quotes to music :) I had a sneaking suspicion it might have been Elin :)
        
        Hehe :) Actually I was almost worried that one would be too obvious for you and Jonas... [R] - Elin - 2006-08-06 8:22:27pm
- Hear hear to all. Keep trying :-))) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:51:23pm

Alexander..... And Marianne! - Fulingen - 2006-08-06 7:52:09pm
Alexander: I gave you a ten! And was VERY surprised to see that it didn't get through. =(
You'll get to the final next year, I promise.

Marianne: A big hug to you for taking this in the very best of ways, I loved your comment to your results! =)

I knew I liked that 3 line ALC entry for a reason, but I didn't realise my sister wrote it!!!!!! - juliejWHAMBAMBOOM!!!! - 2006-08-06 6:51:49pm
- ost of us thought it's a "Frank". I'm happy it isn't though coz that means there are at least 2 of his in the final [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:54:08pm
  - My guess is "song on speed" [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:56:21pm
    - Hmm ... - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 6:57:12pm
      ... there is a reason why I'm not too fond of this idea! ;)
      - The idea of open-MB guessing? [R] - Yair - 2006-08-06 6:58:09pm
        
        Well, now is the chance to make our final guesses - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:59:50pm
        I think you (Yair) wrote ALC-Nation :)
        
        (And Rich wrote "Look at my bum")
    - I'm guessing Save The Pigs [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:57:56pm
      - No, I don't think so ... - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 6:58:53pm
        ... this might be the other one ;)
- You mean Chiara? [R] - Fabrizio - 2006-08-06 6:56:24pm
  - Is this supposed to be funny? [R] - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 6:58:04pm
    - Mostly cowardly [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:59:35pm
      - Oh, I don't think so, I would be honoured if such a nice and genuine woman as Chiara were my sister .... - juliejWHAMBAMBOOM!!!! - 2006-08-06 7:15:04pm
        ... and after all, we share more than just a similar dress size - she's had ber fair share of suitcase troubles too!!!!
        
        So thanks Fabrizio, if you think we could be related, I am touched!!!!
- That means that you have no other option than to follow in the family footsteps!! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-06 7:20:34pm

I know it is totally appropriate and I should feel ashamed of myself ...
Posted by Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! on 2006-08-06 6:56:40pm

... but that Kenny Raider guy is a charming little fellow, isn't he? ;)

Eh bien ... zut alors!

He is, especially while swimming the greek ocean together ;-) [R] - Jonas - 2006-08-06 6:58:02pm
- LOL ... you're certainly a more than reliable source here. [R] - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 6:59:31pm
  - Hehe...but don't ever trust him... - Jonas - 2006-08-06 7:11:05pm
    ...to be in charge of bringing towels :) His idea of how big a towel needs to be for a person to be able to change underneath it, is a bit minimalistic :)
    - Old trick! [R] - Thomas ... eh bien, zut alors! - 2006-08-06 7:11:55pm
    - now say ''thank you kenny'' :) or you should have gone back to the hotel with wet underwear! [R] - Kenny - 2006-08-07 12:57:54am

And in real life too. A great guy :-) [R] - Jeremy - 2006-08-06 6:58:49pm

Who? [R] - Sild - 2006-08-06 6:59:48pm

Don't be ashamed ! Thanks, bud.) if we all get in the water...:)) [R] - Kenny - 2006-08-07 12:56:56am
