I have read it about twice too, but I often go back and read a chapter or a paragraph, just keep my addiction for this book going :wacko: I love this book, maybe it is the subject matter :heart: I like the style of his writing too. You can sense his laid back approach to life, it comes out in his writing. Cannot wait for Feel 2

the audience probably are gobsmacked with A place to Crash, truth be known. I loved it in Dublin. It rather reminds me of 2001 when Robbie performed Forever Texas :heart: at MK, it was really fantastic, :cheer: but it did not get that much reaction from the audience :cry: and yet that is the one song he performed that has stuck in my memory and thought at the time and still do now. Wow that was great :yahoo:

Just mention Robbie and google gets swamped with Take That this and Robbie that. :cry: what better way to get in the press for both of them. Personally I hope he does work on a track or tracks with them. Why not. As long as Robbie gets given his fair wack of input. Anyway, perhaps they had better stick together, a united front against someone called Nigel.

I actually like it! Quite a cool vibe. Just love Robbie's 30 seconds and it is again in the true Robbie manner quite infectious. OK, club mixes are not my scene either, but that is another market for him to open up. He has the talent for it and not every artist can do it. We are lucky fans to admire someone who has a broad range of idea's and not scared to try it. I guessed it was a sampler or a test release just to see if it would go down well. I think it will be quite a 'hit' in the clubs, well I hope so. Anyway, as this is not the real track as such, if Robbie sings that medody on the finished product throughout the track, then I am sunk and reeled in, it is cool.

:cheer: :yahoo: :cheer: :yahoo: :party: :wave: well done everyone! and Robbie rocks :fingers:

the internet is like quick fire. This news and post has spread all around the Robbie boards from the UK to Germany! :dance:

This bit of news reads fabby too. Williams, performing to 500,000 fans nationally, will earn a record-breaking $70 million for his Australian shows.

Fantastic news, I knew it would be around half a million tickets sold. I was semi calculating as the dates were being added and added and added :cheer: Who is a clever bunny then :wacko: :banana: This bit of news reads fabby too.

WOW that TV report is GREAT!!!! sorry chaps but Tripping does it for me everytime. F.A.N. bloody T.A.S.T.I.C :yahoo:

Robbie to S'pore: Let me entertain you By Sonia K http://www.brudirect.com/DailyInfo/News/Archive/June06/220606/22pic42.jpg British pop singer Robbie Williams, who rocked the Guinness Book of World Records for selling the most concert tickets - 1.6 million - in 24 hours, during the European leg of his World Tour, "Robbie Williams: Close Encounters", in November 2005, is set to end the Asian part of the tour in Singapore. Williams' concert promoter in Singapore Michael Hosking on June 19 announced that "the world's favourite entertainer and most dynamic showman ever seen" would perform at Singapore National Stadium on November 18. The pop idol will also perform in Thailand and Hong Kong for the first time in five years, and India and China for the first time ever. According to a press release from Midas Promotions, Robbie Williams looks set to ignite the famous "Kallang roar", with plans underway for a demolition, during what is tipped to be the biggest music event held in Singapore this millennium. Hosking said Singapore "is expected to join the ticket-selling phenomenon already experienced in every territory where Robbie Williams' concert has gone on sale". Despite a 75,000-seat capacity, Robbie Williams had no problem filling up the arena during his five London shows. And the list goes on: Leeds concert sold out in 90 minutes, Holland concert in 89 minutes, Australia's five shows in a matter of hours and Dubai concert in less than two hours, as well as getting 20,000 German fans to brave the cold in the streets of Munich recently, awaiting tickets to go on sale at midnight. To cope with unprecedented demands, tickets to Singapore concert will go on sale for three days only, from June 19 to June 21. "The last time Robbie staged a concert in Singapore in 2001, all 10,000 tickets were sold out in a few days. The show was fantastic and we anticipate a similar ticket sale trend, especially given the fact how spectacular this show is and how his fan base has increased ten-fold in the last five years," said Hosking. Record-breaking ticket sales are expected. "This is a rare occasion. Singapore will get the exact concert that has been seen in traditionally-bigger concert markets," added Hosking. Meanwhile, Singapore Tourism Board director Oliver Chong said, "Singapore is looking forward to an electrifying performance by the showman and iconic pop personality. The city has always been a must-stop destination for many of the world's best acts in the performing arts and music scene and we are excited to welcome Robbie Williams back, as well as his fans in the region." "Robbie Williams: Close Encounters" began in Dublin on June 9, and 14 countries and 44 dates later, will reach the finishing line in Australia later in the year. The pop sensation recently disclosed to Australia's Herald Sun that he will not be touring for a long time after his world tour concludes. Meanwhile, Robbie's fans outside Singapore can take full advantage of low budget carriers, reasonable hotel rates and shopping opportunities in Singapore by purchasing tickets at www.sistic.com.

Nope. Bugger! Missed opportunity :cry:

I find it odd too that he is ending with Kids, I hope he changes it! LOL thanks for your reports. I thought in Dublin Advertising Space went down fantastic and he performed it brilliantly. I love this song! in fact I am a bit pissed with him not performing more Intensive Care songs. They are a fabulous collection of songs. IMO of course, The Trouble with Me, Spread Your Wings and Ghosts should be included WITH all the other IC songs. Sin, Sin Sin went down well too as well, as Make Me Pure. Love them all :yahoo: I would prefer him to ditch a couple of his old 'hits' not that I am don't like them. But they are a bit 'old hat' now. I expect he is as fed up performing them as I am hearing them. My choice would be for him to ditch Millenium, but he won't because that is what the crowd, it seems, want him to do and Robbie does like to give the crowd what they want. With ' A place to Crash' it is too fast to sing a long too, but I love it. I certainly hope he keeps it in. A great rock song. I was certainly loving it in Dublin. :dance:

Showbiz Page. The Star. 21/06/06 http://www.brighteyes.de/files/Robbie-Williams8_jpg.jpg Mark Ronson, the producer behind Robbie Williams's new dance record, has performed emergency surgery to his website after spilling the beans on the top secret project. He has removed blogs from his myspace page after postings gave away details of the record.

how many people is he performing to this year? lt must be heading towards 4 million now :cheer: . A bummer that the UK press ignore it isn't it? He is mega for flip sake! Robbie William's gig forces, Lions must play Asian Cup clash at Jalan Besar By Jose Raymond, TODAY Singapore News http://www.channelnewsasia.com/imagegallery/store/php8jst3p.jpg In what could be a major blow to Singapore’s 2007 Asian Cup dreams, the Lions will not play their final, and possibly crucial, Asian Cup qualifier against Palestine at the 60,000-seater National Stadium on Nov 15. They will now play the match at the 6,000-seater Jalan Besar Stadium. Why? Because the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) have asked the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) to give up their booking of the National Stadium, which they made in January, so that British superstar Robbie Williams can hold a concert at the venue on Nov 18. In response to TODAY’S queries, the SSC’s chief of facilities Lim Eng Khoon said: “This was a difficult decision for SSC as we fully support sports and international mega entertainment events that create vibrancy at our facilities. “After much deliberation, we made this decision based on optimising our pool of limited resources as well as finding the best solution that will benefit all Singaporeans - having both a football match and an international mega event. “Singapore was not one of the stops on Robbie Williams’ Asian tour, but we were able to secure a one night only performance after some negotiations with the organisers who had requested to use the National Stadium. “The SSC have been in discussions with the FAS on this matter and it is truly unfortunate that both event dates fall within the same period and cannot be changed. “Sports and international mega entertainment events will feature strongly in the calendar line-up for SSC’s facilities, especially in the new Sports Hub. This will be a happy problem whereby we will be spoilt for choice to select which events will be held in the new facilities at the Sports Hub — especially the new 55,000-seater stadium.†Williams’ Singapore stop is the third after dates in Hong Kong and Thailand. When contacted, Midas Promotions managing director Michael Hoskins, the promoters of the concert, said Williams’ Singapore date was only confirmed on June 10. He added that the organisers needed about five days to prepare the stage for the mega-concert. Football officials were naturally peeved when told of the developments. Singapore’s technical director P N Sivaji said: “I am very disappointed with the decision, especially since the FAS had made a booking for the venue well in advance. It does not help the development of Singapore football. It also deprives the fans from coming out to cheer Singapore on especially in a tight group that could go all the way to the wire.†National coach Radojko Avramovic added: “If it goes right to the end, the boys should play in a fantastic atmosphere with as many fans behind them as possible.†The FAS tried to have the date of the fixture changed, but the Asian Football Confederation turned down the request. Depending on the results of Singapore’s double bill against China in August and September and an away tie against Iraq on Oct 11, the match against Palestine could well be the Lions’ decider.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it, love it :cheer: Well done Australia. I just cannot believe that some countries are showing us UK fans what to do! LOL What with Paris, hang my head in shame, that I never thought of something so simple and effective such as a :heart: Australia, you will have to do the same. It would look sensational. Love you Robbie! Make the most of him you guys. It is probably his last major tour :( So anyone wanting to see him in the UK and elsewhere had better think of going this year!

Robbie may never marry By NADIA BROOKS Sun Online http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2006280616,00.jpg ROBBIE Williams’ dad says he doesn’t think the superstar will ever settle down. The millionaire performer, 32, has often lamented about his lack of luck in finding the right woman to marry and have kids with. And Robbie’s dad Pete Conway, who left the family home when the singer was two, blames himself for Robbie’s inability to find and hold on to The One. Pete told Closer: "Was Robbie affected by me leaving? I’m sure he was. But he’s happy enough now and we’re good friends." He continued: "Still, I don’t know if he’ll ever settle down." Pete revealed Robbie adores children but still hadn’t found his soulmate. He said: "It’s not that he doesn’t like families or kids. My stepdaughter has a little boy and Rob loves him." He added: "He just hasn’t met Miss Right yet." Robbie, who had a fling with Tara Palmer Tomkinson recently, muses on his website about his difficulties finding love. He writes: "I’d love to be able to fall in love but it would cause too many problems. Problems she doesn’t need or deserve." :heart: I have got the hots for that picture. :P

thats the lousy British press for you. Delve into everyone's lives but their own. :angry: When the Sun's editor was caught out by fighting with her husband, the press could not sweep it under the carpet quick enough. Different for everyone else though.

It has given me something to think about and I am seriously thinking of doing it myself. Off out tomorrow to buy tons of red cardboard and cut them into a heart shape to wave to Robbie in Leeds and Milton Keynes :heart: it should be easy to do, and easy to carry around if you fold it in half. Anyone going to Leeds on the 9th TV Broadcaste and MK. It would look stunning on the TV wouldn't it? Stephen Duffy was so impressed too. He posted pictures and talked about it in his blog. The French love Robbie by displaying hundreds of white balloons in 'Advertising Space' and it was a sea of red hearts being waved for 'Feel' Well done France! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/tc73/Smilies/action-smiley-033.gif the white balloons http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/tc73/Smilies/icon_thumbs_up.gif http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d78/isa_stella/Paris/IMG_0052.jpg I think security handed them out as they were all stored where they were standing. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d78/isa_stella/Paris/IMG_0053.jpg the hearts, a sea of red! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/tc73/Smilies/icon_thumbs_up.gif http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/7058/globoscorazones6se.jpg and he is alot near the audience than he was in Dublin. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d78/isa_stella/Paris/IMG_0057.jpg love this one! http://poohpix.skyblog.com/pics/494757230.jpg and he is starting to undo his jacket http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d78/isa_stella/Paris/IMG_0049.jpg and take it off! LOL. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d78/isa_stella/Paris/IMG_0044.jpg Thats the way I like it Robbie! :cheer: thanks to http://www.fans-supreme.de/

to everyone going to the concert tomorrow. Have a great time . Looking forward to your reports. I will be thinking of you all will be really, really envious. Nada, it is a real shame that you have not seen Robbie live.. You must try and get to see him this year! it could be his last tour for a long, long time. Catch him while you can :heart:

Sorry to put a dampener on things, but this is just posted as a safe guard incase anyone is thinking of buying tickets outside the venue on Friday. Warning over fake Robbie tickets Robbie Williams fans are being warned to watch out for dud tickets that are currently in circulation for his upcoming Croke Park gig. The 2000 forgeries have a distinctive orange colour and only genuine tickets with a special bar code and a blue background will be valid. It is thought the fakes are the work of professionals. source: UTV Hope to see some of you there on Friday. I am the one that looks the same as someone else, who looks like me. :cry: :drink:
