to think that Steve Backshall doesn't really give a dam about kids

[creamteas]

My DC are massive Deadly Sixty fans, booked tickets on the announcement day for the Steve Backshall Tour and got front row seats. The date has been on the calendar for months.

But got an email today saying they have cancelled the performance as not enough people bought tickets. There is another performance that day, but we can?t change. DCs are devastated.

The venue is Warwick Arts Centre and it will be open for other things anyway. The stage will need to be set and taken down for the other performance that day. In other words, I can?t see that they would make a huge loss by going ahead.

AIBU to be pissed off that profits always come first.

Tory I have other plans for that day (Matilda the show in London for my 40th birthday, but tickets not bought) otherwise I would be quite happy to take creamteas DC's.

I am having one hell of a dilemma here!!!!

Xpost with jenai

lynette are you available to perv babysit?

How long would they have to wait around outside though, whilst the letch MNer prostrated herself inside outside his dressing room?

Won't somebody please think about the children?

Lynette, I'll do Matilda, darling Tim the shagmuffin might be there and available for me to lick to meet

Actually thinking about it, there's be no prostrating involved it'd all be up against a wall .

DH doesn't want to go to Matilda or to see Steve B.

Lynette, leave the bastard

Jenai

Send him on ahead Lynette to order a post coital extra marital cocktail for when you're done. [wise]

Wow!

Hold on I'LL take creamtesettes. lynette could possibly miss Matilda, seeing her DH won't go, she can go with HoneyDragon.

I won't hear anything else and have already book the flights to the UK - I'm unselfish like that

Lynette I am actually being ever so slightly serious here.

It is also my 40th this year and I would enjoy either Tim or Steve (as would ds, only in a different way clearly). I think we should arrange an MN outing!

We need steve to so a live web-chat - with live webcam so we can all shout at him to take his top off.....

He's visiting us in July - think DD is too young to go - could maybe make a girl's night out of it?

He might feel a little harrassed during a live web chat (or he might take his top off)

Who is Tim btw, feel like I missed something - is he something to do with Matilda? I know nothing more about Matilda other than it's existance.

I might wander over to the website and have a little moment of appriciation

I don't get the attraction myself

I have put a lot of pressure on DH to agree to go to Matilda. I'm convinced he will enjoy it when he gets there.

I think he's actually prettier without the bright blue contacts and back comb though [weird & contrary emoticon]

Thanks all, best giggle I've had in ages....not sure if Stevie B would actually know what to do with some of you if you were unleashed, I fear for his safety.
Now off to find a focus in my life because SB is taking up too much time.......now, where did I leave my Mrs Backshall T-shirt?! :o

YABU im sorry you didnt get to see the show we did and he kindly stayed on extra to do a meet and greet with the kids he is one of the most genuine person ive ever met, bad planning by production team but not his fault

Right. I might be a teeny bit drunk but if you look at my name, I am a Steve Backshall t-shirt. I would soooo love to be stretched across his chest and the rest of him

Sorry, I'll just sit in the corner.

It's a little bit of an usual approach but I can see where you are coming from.

I'd be surprised if SB had much of a say in cancelling. He's a friend of someone ds (7) knows and seems very child friendly (not that I've managed to meet him yet ). I do know where he lives (village rather than actual house - I'm not stalking him so far!).

Just to clarify the whole name t-shirt thing. My MN name is taken from a t-shirt SB wore. Hence the being stretched across his chest etc comment.

OK that makes a little more sense LetUsPray

Much excitement in our house today, DS2 got a mini Steve figure AND he told me I was allowed to play with it 'because you love him too Mammy'

Oh I do DS2, I do
