A Ros and Take That Moment

[przed]

The other day I'm making dinner with Take That's Progress tour on in the background when Ros and the Sweetie come home from the park. I flip the concert back to Shine so Ros can watch it while I'm finishing dinner. (They do this version as an Alice in Wonderland pastiche, complete with the White Rabbit, and Ros loves it.)

Here's Howard, Mark, Jason and the rabbit.


A couple of minutes later, a very excited Ros comes running into the kitchen.

Ros: Mommy, mommy, I know why he sings "But you're stuck in a hole!"
Me: Why?
Ros: It's because the song is about a rabbit!

I don't know what I love more, the fact that the line was clearly bugging her, or the fact that she's latched onto the explanation that it's about a rabbit. And she's sticking to her guns on the point. Any time she hears it now, she insists "This is about a rabbit!"

Of course, she's partly right, since the song is about Robbie, and they no doubt did the whole Alice in Wonderland thing because Robbie did a video a few years ago dressed as the White Rabbit:


And Robbie appears at the end of Shine via video screen as the Rabbit.


Since I had to grab my own screen caps of Shine, have a few more, just for fun.

Mark in what is possibly the most ridiculous costume of his career. (Or perhaps not. There's certainly no shortage of ridiculous costumes in Take That's history.)


Gleeful!Mark posing for the crowd.


Howard and Jason showing off their moves, as always. Not bad for a pair of fortysomethings.



In other news, I have finished the final assignment in the bloody online course I've been taking. It's not the most brilliant job I've ever done, but as long as I pull off a reasonably respectable grade, I'll be happy. Now I've just got to survive the launch of a massive new project I've been part of at work, and then I can get my head back around the Pros Big Bang and any other fannish project that strikes my fancy. Yay!

That icon is adorable!

I like to think there aren't so many people in the world who can pull a face like that and everyone going "awww, how cute is he?" instead of "now look at that dumb ass!". Also, it took me FOREVER to erase the bloody microphone stand and the microphone itself out of the picture! So thank you - I will from now on believe that you adore my iconizing-skills and not Mr I-can-look-as-bloody-dumb-as-I-want-to-because-I-get-away-with-it. Yes. *nods*

On a completely different note: I've totally forgotten to congratulate you BIG TIME for finishing your assignment! WELL DONE YOU!!! *swings pom poms and cheers your name*

And if you would please excuse me now - I'll have to go and check on a certain pair of ears...

Your icon-making skills are awesome, and your choice of subject is impeccable.

Thanks for the congrats. I'm mostly just relieved I got the damn thing in. And am hoping I got a decent grade. Not brilliant, just decent. (Mostly, I'm just glad I can get back to some fanfic!)

Good luck with that ear checking. I hope that works out for you. *g*
