Click the image for your new year message!!! :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/shazzab/th_HappyNewYearMessage.jpg OK, so it's not very good...this is the first one of these I've ever made....and it looked better before I uploaded it!!! :rolleyes: Anyway.....Happy New Year to everyone!! Here's to a wonderful 2007 with (hopefully) lots of Darius events!!! :hic: :wave: :hic: :wave: :hic:

Well...I will do my best!! :unsure: Tho, given the current drought on Darius news, it'll not be easy! But, when Christmas/New Year is done and I can spend a little more time online, I shall put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with to keep you entertained!!! ^_^

:hi: Wooo, Ricky!!! We got you to join .net!!!!! :yahoo: :P :lol: I understand what you mean about 'greatest emotional energy'...tho, whether it's positive or negative, love or hate...a song can be uplifting. I guess often we relate to the negative more quickly because they come to us at a turbulent or unsure time in our lives and they strike a chord and help us through...so they are maybe remembered more readily?! :unsure: I admit to being a sucker for a good ballad!! Sure Darius' Live Twice album was written at a turbulent time in his life and, although it was born from negative emotions, there are uplifting songs on there too. None more so than Faith In Me or Love To Love when performed live!!!! :wub: :o :funky: And most of his songs have something to do with love of one kind or another!! I doubt Darius will ever stick solely to ballads or sad songs....he enjoys bouncing around on a stage too much!!! :bounce: :jump: :banana:

No worries, Pip :D ...I wasn't expecting to be asked to do it :blink: (still don't know why I was!! :unsure: ) and certainly wasn't expecting any special welcome!!! ^_^

Thanks dd :blush: :D It happened last week....out of the blue, the 'management' asked me if I'd like to do it. :o :huh: How could I refuse? :cool: Tho I'm only a backup to Pip, our leader!!!

I - 10 pts J...love the sheer, bare-faced cheek of it!!!! :lol: :wacko: :rofl: A E K...it took me a minute to realise something was up...or down, as the case may be!!! :o :blink: :blush: :lol: F B C H G - 1 pt

Didn't he play for Liverpool FC at one stage too??? :unsure: What a bizarre lineup! :blink: A few I can't really see being interested....mind you, getting paid that amount of money is one hell of an incentive....even for those who ARE well off!! Can you imagine the Hoff and Sue Pollard on the same show!!!! :rofl: It could make TV history!!!!

Tis prettiful Teresa!!! :wub:

Oh, and blattguy....love your cover but you've spelt Kylie as KILIE!! :huh: :unsure:
