Plane Girl
thanks for organizing this!!! i had tons of fun
Eric the Hamster
I had a good time, thanks for organising it.

I still have not paid for my ticket yet, who should I be paying?
3 Lions
Thanks to Katrina for getting the tickets.

I remember hating the 1st film, but really liked it this time round. Cant say I was impressed with the 2nd film. Funny to hear the collective swoons in the audience whenever Colin Firth and Hugh Grant were on screen.

I was sat next to Eric the Hamster and I'm sure I heard a few sighs from him!! tongue.gif
Katrina
Eric, pay me please.
Cleaver was Mr Sex. Hugh Grant is not my pin-up by any means but in this role (and this role only) HUBBA HUBBA.
He was the best thing in the second film!
Had to laugh at the locations, most of it was filmed around Tower Hill, Limehouse and Leadenhall, with Primrose Hill featured too.
Ah, memories.
She can ski better than I can though. biggrin.gif
bubblylady
I liked the second film as much as I liked the first but they are so different, you can't really compare them. The 1st was just real tragique the second one was to much hollywood.
Still can't wait till i get it on DVD and have a girlie redwine, chocolate and pyjama party smile.gif
And Hugh Grant is sooo cute, still would prefer colin in the sheets smile.gif
The Skiing bit was filmed in Lech where I learned skiing and they don't speak like that there wink.gif

Than´ks Katrina for organizing the tix! had such a good fun and not tired at all.
canuck
@Bubbly: You mean Lech...don't you? I've actually been to that Apotheke I think...??!!
bubblylady
Canuck, were you a Frohboy asking for a pregnancy test? wink.gif
canuck
Yep, that was me. Although...I spoke way better German than she did and I even had a Voralberg accent...

PS: The test came out negative by the way...
Showem
They might not speak like that in Lech itself, but it was still a great Austrian accent!
bubblylady
QUOTE
Voralberg accent

I swear that this is the worst accent in the world, whoever claims it's german is just wrong!

3 Lions
I wondered who it was who was singing the cover of 'Everlasting love' at the end of the film.

I might buy this CD for a friend* when it comes out.

*Its is for a friend...honest!! rolleyes.gif
JoolyBooly
@ canuck I thought that was Schwäbisch?! Waiting for Arwen's input, can see her hand heading for her forehead at high speed...

@ 3 lions... just bring it to the Xmas party, and you'll be popular!
canuck
It's not Schwäbisch...it's really Voralberg dialect...but Arwen might understand it.

Basic Translation: Work hard, save money, buy a house, sell the cat because you can't afford it anymore..because you bought the house, so you have to catch the mice yourself. This is the obvious translation...there are few more less obvious ones.
Katrina
Poots and I saw Jamie Cullum do a concert in the backroom at the Backstage and it was **marvellous**
PS my purse has now been returned - if anyone wants their paper ticket as a momento please let me know.
JoolyBooly

but delete the momento bit, it's funnier without!!!
Arwen
understood only half of it!
JoolyBooly
Ja, selbert musa is definately open to spelling discussion...
canuck
actually it's vrkofa and selbrt...so I've been told.
Bubble Gum
Thanks chewy and katrina for organizing the movie! i really enjoyed it, except the second one wasn't very good. it was a copy of the first one, except that she was a characture. and they left out alllll that funny stuff from the book! and they turned her into a marriage crazed klutz. That's an insult to single women.

anyway, i still had a really fun time.

oh, btw, apperently renee zellinger (sp?) speaks fluent german, hence the excellent accent.
nilpferd
The soundtrack is already out in the UK...try amazon or sth

Make a nice christmas pressie

anyway, i'm staying out of this thread cos am soooooooooo gutted I could'n't make it last night...v jealous of you all and v pissed off with self for being ill, what a wuss ph34r.gif

p.s sorry, the soundtrack i saw was Bridget Jones Diary 2, which is the 2nd CD for the 1st film... sorry peeps
Showem
Actually, I was refering to the excellent accent of the Austrian pharmacist. "Ach, sie ist schwanger!"

Bubble Gum, are you sure you aren't confusing her with another Texas girl, Sandra Bullock?
nilpferd
No wait...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...2792571-0095662

found it!
JoolyBooly
ach, you didn't miss too much Nilfpferd. Although I have to say I enjoyed Part2 a lot more the second time around, partly as the book wasn't so fresh in my head and partly because of the 99.9% female audience keeping the laughter flowing! cool.gif

But it is a bit of a let down as the book was ignored, where was her mum's african visitor for example?!

there's a group going on Saturday, search for the thread if you want to go...
3 Lions
The soundtrack is out here on the 6th, so its just as well waiting. Though am tempted to get it ordered now for my friend*.

The first one I think has a lot of moments single girls and indeed single men can relate to.

The 2nd one was full of things that would just never happen...ever!!
Bubble Gum
Yes, I'm sure its her. Sandra Bullock also speaks German cause her mom was German.

I also wanted to see the interview with colin firth, with someone else playing colin firth. that was sooooooooooooooo hilarious in the book!
JoolyBooly
@ 3 lions I'm not so sure... have you seen Katrina ski?! laugh.gif And the first time I saw it, the "TT male" next to me kept asking what Bridget was doing and why... amazing how many in-jokes for women there are... wink.gif

@ Bubble gum indeed, although an interview with Colin Firth would have been a bit tricky to arrange, no?
Katrina
She could speak German as a child as her father is from Switzerland and she used to speak German to her granny.
She can still understand the language well though (she talked about this on "Wetten daß...?").
Sandra Bullock was in fact born in Nürnberg and her uncle lives in Bad Reichenhall (I've seen her there).
Bridget is better than skiing than I am. Really.
The staring bit is also very true as a certain gent accquired the nickname "Scary Stare-y" for exactly the same reason ha ha
Plane Girl
im going to ahve to read the books i guess, i wasnt soo impresed with the 2nd movie...but it was worth watching Hugh grant in wub.gif
JoolyBooly
oh, read the book. The edge of reason is really good.
Plane Girl
anyone have the books???
jml
random fact. There's a lot of German influence in Texas Even some of the most podunk (small middle of nowhere) schools offer German classes. I never took any cause I thought when the hell would I need German?!?

As a cross reference to that other thread on integration, many of German influences survived today in part because they created tightly knit enclaves in the region. wink.gif
JoolyBooly
I gave it to someone at the last book swap, can't remember who. Doh! It was Toast. PM her, maybe she's finished it?
petal
Plane Girl - I have both books. You are welcome to borrow them if you want.
Plane Girl
@petal...that sounds great!! ill pm you
bubblylady
i speak schwäbisch and live 10 mins drive from the border to Vorarlberg. I can understand it, but have to listen carefully. It's just 10 km away but total different language. Oh well, they just speak different in the mountains wink.gif
chewy
Thanks everyone for coming i had a great time, and thanks to Katrina for sorting the tickets smile.gif

play.com has the album for under 9GBP

I saw Jamie Cullum at Glastonbury and he was absolutely amazing (and very fine too). Definately worth seeing, even if your not normally a jazz fun. His act was fun and entertaining, he acted just like any normal 20something, plus he's a local lad!
