Hope the wrist gets better soon!

I had to teach myself to listen to them, but they were definitely worth it :D (and you know... if you ever want to give them a spin just shout, you know people who have stuff to tempt you with.)

My wrist is just plain annoying me *stupid wrist*

Edited for a lack of spelling skills.

I may just have to look into that...

And, don't you know? proper spelling is overrated

Oooh, I want to listen when I get home.

Wow, your daughter is going back? That's exciting for her. :) Hopefully it will be less anxiety-inducing all round since it's not the first time. ::hugs::

I'm sorry about your wrist!

I think it was on that - I listened to that and then had to double back and relisten to Project Twilight again so it could be on either... You actually meant the Youtube clip, didn't you?

She is, it was touch and go there for a while - one week she was and the next week she didn't know whether to or Not - but yep - she has her last day at home on Thursday and then flies out Friday. It's much less anxiety-inducing this time partly because we know how it all works now, and partly because of her coming home in August and not October :D

Yes, the YouTube clip. :) Having listened now, I'm oddly wierded out at hearing him sing! It's just going to take some adjustment, like it did when I saw him shirtless on TV. *g*

And if he can sing that well, why hasn't Eight had a musical story? Six did, and his voice isn't that great! (Though it served, and I loved it.)

We can but hope we get one in Season 4 ;-)

Colin Baker's voice isn't that great is it? But yes, I loved it too.

Re: Excelis - I loved the first story (with Five) but thought the others were rubbish, if that helps...

Re: PMG singing - I *adore* that song and yes, he has a gorgeous singing voice to go with his gorgeous speaking voise *drools*

*hugs* re Daughter toddling off again - she'll have a great time I'm sure!

YAYS for Discworld Con *not jealous...*

And your wrist! EEP! PLEASE take it easy!

When I saw the first one was a Five story I got very excited that they all might be and was kind of disappointed that they weren't-

OH! *breaks off to look at calendar* Isn't it this week the Kamelion eps get released on DVD? I must go look, later. *apologises for the interuption*

So, were the rest of them really Rubbish? Or just mneh? I might still risk it if they are just mneh but probably won't if they are Rubbish - despite the lure of ASH's magnificent voice.

I think you are the one who clued me into PMG's Much Ado performance, though I was reminded, when hunting for the clip, that he'd sung in The Monocled Mutineer (which I had totally forgotten).

Am taking it easy on wrist (though I did *have* to woodstain a door yesterday, which didn't help).

I honestly was disappointed with the other Excelis stories. I only listened to 2-4 once and it was mainly ASH yelling a lot. Sorry! And I may be in a minority of one; you may want to canvas other opinion (try persiflage_1 'cause I know she's listened to lots of BF).

You are taking it easy on your wrist now, yes?

:(

Though I shall definitely ask Persiflage - I've met her in your journal before :D

I am definitely trying to take it easy on my wrist, will that do??
