    Wow! Almost makes me want to dress up! But I have to be responsible and stuff... Probably best if I don't do that dressed as a vampire. Especially if I'm meant to be responsible for people's kids... Yeah.

    But still cool stuff. :)

    (Am I the first person here again?)

    Yay for Marcus we love you Marcus :-) will you do me a makeover please? I need one lol oh and can I just say that the "BH make up department" Looks an awful lot like my kitchen lol.

    Oh and well done Marcus - all that watching blue peter has paid off - but seriously how hard was it not to say "and here's one I made earlier" :-P

    And Mr P thank you for the "careful" on the boiling water part - you've saved me and Lenora from doing the health and safety bits this time lol

    BrilliantMightyQuinn (from previous page cos I know people only read the latest one lol) no black is fine I won't wear black ones then - I'll wear my halloweeny ones I think :-P they're red and black I got them in London and I've never actually seen anyone else with them so that might minimize the risk of someone else turning up in the same shoes lol

    Vampfan - me? lose it? Happened a long long time ago lol

    Do you guys think they made this because Aid told us to eat clothes dye, and they thought we might go and kill our silly selves unless the put us straight? Just wondered :)

    But thanks BHP :P

But as soon as I sit down to actually SERIOUSLY WRITE (as in not fanfic for once). Bamm! It's all gone. I think it's called irony. *virtual reception of hugs* Thankyou for the encouragement though. With a little hope and prayer and chocolate, it should come back.

    a little message to Aidan....

    ok.....Aidan baby, just on the off chance that you, emm , dip into the blog now and then ( or get Lenora to do that cos you and Russell ..inexplicably... don't want to/can't/ have no time to)..... a few whispers to the wild....

    .....there's been some comment re your suggestion that fake blood could be made from ordinary dye like you use on clothes...or hair....not that you or I would know of such things...mmm.

    Now, I know that you were just a little excited about actually talking to the bloggers on camera...and nothing at all to do with the amount of sweeties consumed ( provided as ....a temptation...by the BHProduction Team...) And I blame that Russell for geeing you up about how would you look as a vamp Trick or Treating....so of course you got into the fake blood thing..and ..in a blokey/vampire sort of way said any sort of dye would do.....now, we both know that as far as other vampires are concerned this would be true cos this would render 'victims' senseless so they could be...ahem...fed upon ..much easier.
    But....I know that Mitchell ( and Aidan ) would not need to render anyone senseless as we would all fall at your feet without needing any imbibed or inhaled substance soooo.....
    ....just keep the craziness going baby..I love it.

    Unless Toby has gone fast forward in BH2 I can't see the babies belonging to either George/Nina or Mitchell. They ( it...cos we don't know how many babies are in the actual story) could belong to Lucy...or this other woman linked to Mitchell mysteriously mentioned few weeks back on twitter ( he was in her apartment and it wasn't Lucy's)...or the Prof's ...or a combination of any of these ( still with me everyone?)
    Not wishing to upset TwinA17 ( mother of real babies on set)..but my personal favourite is that the vampires ..not Mitchell you understand...ate the babies...

    allanahdavis - think there were about 8 of us off here going at last count and I think 5 of us are meeting up at train station around lunchtime then gonna get cab to cinema and meet the others there - because some people are going with their other halves etc.

    I hope cameras are allowed - I should think they will be - its not just a cinema its like a media centre place so it does all other stuff there besides show films.

    Personally I think they'll probably not want us to film the whole thing for youtube but I think they'll let us do photos and stuff - Lenora and Sinead have implied that we'll be able to get our pictures taken with them and I doubt they'll want to stand outside in the cold and do it lol - like when I went to see Ed Byrne we werent allowed to have cameras during the actual gig but before he started and at the end he said we could for a couple of minutes :-) they might do that.

Gay or not I don't think any man can let go of a pretty blonde can they

    I see Simon Guerrier's book "Being Human: The Road" is poised to hit the market in February (there's a synopsis up at rbooks.co.uk for those interested in the run-down of what it's about). Ah, if we could only convince the BBC to draw from the fan pool for a short-story anthology! ;-)
