If the moon is made of cheese, then Nils' socks must be made of the moon. Well, if the smell is anything to go by!

Definitely not - I have a reputation as a "boring old fart" to keep up. Heaven forbid that they should know that I am anything other than a cooking-washing-taxi driver-oh-that's-all-right-mum'll-do-it robot machine.!!!!!!

I've just baked NickiFlute a whole bagful of double-chocolate-chip-fudgecake-muffins, but it looks like she's gone before I could put them in her rucksack. So.... muffins anyone?

Yes it has thankfully been dealt with appropriately once Christine returned from the weekend, and the least said about it the better. It was most definitely a troll, and intended to insight..... we are best not to take the baits, report the posts, and then ignore them.

Yes I'm sure Janexxx is right. I didn't expect to see it here this morning!
I would guess that the person who posted it probably posted it on other websites and forums too. Political propaganda, not appropriate for a music forum really.
Nuff sed.

Oh that's sad.
But it's very early days. She's probably feeling a little bit homesick. It's likely to get better. If you have a word with her tell her to keep her chin up - ask her if she remembered the sandwich bags ??? !

Don't think like that Nat. The journey might be quite a bore and the trip proper hasn't started yet.
There will be some bits she will enjoy and some that are not such fun. I'm sure it was right for her to go - it's good for us to take on new experiences and we don't usually enjoy every minute of them !

No, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the things that are making her feel bad.
I'm really sad she's not enjoying it...

Lots of us had a go at convincing her to go, Nat. I'm sure she won't hate all of it, and I know it's trite but it's true, that hard experiences make us stronger.

It's only just started. She'll settle in sooner or later, and she said from the start she didn't know anyone. Once she gets to know the people it should be easier.

See thats what I said.
Although if she still doesn't like it, it will still have been me and nat who persuaded her to go.

Sorry nat it didn't come out quite right! no I know it doesn't stop you worrying, but really I just meant please don't beat yourself about the head with it!
I went on tour when I was a bit older than nicki with a bunch of people I didn't know, and parts of it were really horrible, but I still learned a lot and it was a good experience overall. I am sure she will learn a lot about herself, and she will get to play in lots of concerts, and I'm sure that once she starts getting to know people it will become easier.

Oh dear. Poor Nicki. Hope she is feeling a bit better today. I'm sure that 17 hour journey wasn't much fun, but hopefully she'll be ok when she arrives.
Nat, have you been speaking to Nicki today?
