rosengirlSo ! A bit of a (short) report to say that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ephyse and I had a blast in Manchester !
The city was awesome, full of lovely people, great shops and pretty christmas decorations. We stayed in a gorgeous hotel where they had flats instead of rooms ! We had everything including room service and a delicious breakfast served every morning.
We also had a dvd player which was quite distracting because we managed to watch the whole of Oz season 1. It was unsurprising love at first sight with eph and we just couldn't stop til the season was over. I am definitely starting my Oz watching where I left it last time (413) again because I ended up having Oz cravings like woah thanks to that little marathon of win.
We didn't go crazy with the shopping compared to Brighton and I only bought some cds and dvds (Josh Groban Live...... I know rite.), the Donna action figure and I found a bunch of Ten/Donna books and The Story of Martha at the airport just before leaving. The amount of Mighty Boosh merchandising everywhere was *mad* and we definitely would have bought some if we haven't had it all already XD
We were dead excited for the live show which was on tuesday night and had Robots In Disguise rejects make up on for the occasion. The MEN Arena was smaller than expected and we had awesome seats, considering that we had last minute tickets. We loved it to bits and were glad to have been bold enough to take that second trip in order to see the show properly (we missed the first act in Brighton).
The boys were in great shape and I adored the bit with the Crack Fox. My current love for Julian cannot be mesured anymore <3
We had a threat from Noel during the Tony Harrison sketch when he's stuck in his chair. He said that he felt like Davros all confined like that. That alone, made us squee but then he added something like "if only David Tennant was there" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we died. At least my right thigh died whenephyse squeezed the life out of it.
But seriously though, hearing Noel Fielding speak David Tennant's name probably will keep on making me squee into next year :D
Oh and the other gleexplosion came when he kissed Rich, twice.
*ginormous nostalgic grin*
You could also tell that it was their last gig before their christmas break because they kept cracking up a whole lot more than last time, it was very relaxed.
Anyway <3
We spent the walk back to the hotel making up silly!v.serious meta about Noel and Julian's partnership that night. They had consumed our brain with renewed vigour.
That's enough babbling for now, let's end on a picspam. I took most of my pics from our awesome ride on the 60 meters high Manchester giant wheel which is why most of them are blurry.
The adorable pub/restaurant we ate in when we first arrived
The motherlicking posh hotel hall
Our motherlicking room (no that's not Josh Groban on the telly... Shut up)
The motherlicking view from the motherlicking bedroom window. We only had the chance to see Manchester under that delightful sunny weather the day we were leaving, of course.
Us on DA BIG WHEEL, yo.
You can spot the MEN Arena on the left of the background there.
Slags united
The unexpected pretty good view of the stage from where we were sitting.
My Next Doctor babble will be posted in a separate post. I may rewatch it first to bask again in its Epic Win again ;)

Christmas with my family went also really well and I recieved lots of great gifts :
A 500 go external hard drive from my dad WHICH IS A++++++ AWESOME AND V. PRETTY ♥
Lots of dvds : Dead Set, Indie IV, disney's Merlin, Derren Brown's live show and I am apparently waiting for Beautiful People and the Mind Robber which didn't arrive in time !
I also got some books : the Bro Code (Barney <3) and Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman <3).
- The new Snow Patrol album
- A brilliant tshirt from my brother which says Perceval Fan Club on the front and 'C'est pas faux' on the back XDDDDD
Oh and I *have* to write this down for posterity :
Last night I dreamed that we went to the live show *again* with eph and that they did a sort of curtain call at the end where Julian walked into the crowd (that's where you know that it can't be real lol). I got up from my seat to meet him and he took off his jacket and wrapped me up in it. I kept it closely around me and found eph again knowing that he had to look for us to get it back afterwards. He did indeed and I had a little chat with him (I don't know why but ephyse didn't come close, she was watching us from afar and smiling at me XD), when he realised that I was french he tried to talk to me in french and kept searching for words, it was SO ADORABLE. And that was pretty much it.
It didn't have sexy sexxors but this is definitely the best dream I've had in a while *___*
