Expo and Soccer Six!

[valderys]

OMG, I don't really know where to begin - you know after you've done loads of things it's too daunting to even think about... Well, I'm just going to go with the most recent, which is the Merlin weekend I've just had. I'm reeling from it, it was the most fantastic weekend - so much squee, so much fun, so much so my voice is now a croaking husk of

What a wonderful write-up :D Thanks for sharing!!

[valderys]

Aww, thanks hon! I didn't know you were at Expo, I didn't see you! Damn!

[lizardspots]

I was sitting in the row behind you, LOL, next to j_apollo.

[valderys]

I was all over the place at Expo though, sorry!!

[kerryblaze]

I knew you'd be there! I'm here in London, but couldn't make it. I'm glad you had a great time! <3

[valderys]

Now that's a shame, to be so near and yet so far! I hope the Cardiff concert was good?

[lamardeuse]

Thanks so much for the great report, particularly about the match! This is the first report I've heard about that, and it's lovely to hear that Bradley came across as a leader. :)

[valderys]

\o/ He was fantastic! There were so many great moments particularly when Bradley had just scored a goal and was running about manically, that I just couldn't hold a camera steady - I hope someone else got some shots of those, so you can see!

[valderys]

Ooh, I've just read your little ficlet and ... Eeeee! My report helped - that's fantastic! Although... I don't know if you want to but I can correct a few factual details, if you want - if you don't, then no worries, but it's why I'm replying here, instead of at your fic.

There were three matches in the group (group 1), of which the Inbetweeners won two, and lost one. Then there was the quarter final, which they won, and then they lost the semi final on penalties. So they played a total of five matches of about 40 minutes each.

And apparently Bradley was shirtless but only at the very end during the final, and my group had gone by then so I didn't know.

[lamardeuse]

Oh, yay, thank you for responding - I read so many reports last night and this morning I got confused over who had mentioned Tamer Hussan - I will credit you! And I had already heard about shirtless Bradley and edited, but I'll fix the bit about the matches too - thanks so much! :)

It was awesome!

I don't even know, I am still all over the place with my ~feelings, but AMAZING.

[valderys]

Wasn't it? I loved it! Did you hear? If we'd stayed we'd have seen shirtless Bradley - I'm gutted I missed that!

[ionaonie]

I am so gutted that we missed shirtless Bradley *cries*

Also that other fangirls got recognised from Expo and he called them called down to talk to him (although, after being so damn speechless at Expo, I would never have gone down there. I do not need my inability to speak in front of Bradley to be recorded and possibly on the season 2 DVD. That would be horrific *shudders*)

[valderys]

Given the way he was avoiding our eye, I suspect he may not have called us down anyway, so I refuse to be gutted by that! Not to mention that it was lucky_jack and co's special moment - I wouldn't want to take that away from them!

Thanks for sharing your experience in a detailed and revealing journal entry -- and special bonus points for asking Colin about The Sea Change which perhaps we shall see in 2010 before S3 of Merlin, who knows? Grim, dark and deep. Some might say disturbed? Which is I think how Bradley described Colin lol so yes he is perfect for Calum.

[valderys]

I do hope we get to see it then - it sounds to me like the whole production team are a little indy set-up, so it might be a while since they're going to have to find some kind of distribution and that's always the hardest part. But fingers crossed. I agree, I think Colin will be *perfect* as Calum!
