The IGLFA World Championships Opening Ceremony

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:13:53 +0000

Tonight I’ll be performing with my fellow London Gay Men’s Chorus members at The Shepherds Bush Empire for the Opening Ceremony of the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association World Championships 2008, which are being held right here in London.

It should be a really fab evening, just wish Bryan could have come as it means we’ll not be together on the Bank Holiday Sunday.

It should be really fabby! Here’s some details if you want have a look at the IGLFA World Championship Website…

Olympic Diving … my new favourite sport!!!

FrozenDreamer — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:24:55 +0000

Oh my gawd… if any of you have been watching the Olympics as much as I have, you should be aware of just how gorgeous the Olympic Divers are. When the Olympics come to London in 2012… I will be a the front of the queue to get tickets for this one! WOOF!!!

To add to the “sigh” factor… the really sexy Australian diver, Matthew Mitcham, happens to be a gay boy… and has a lovely site dedicated to all his lovely jumps and curves.

Here’s a piccy of him… just so you can see what I mean!!!

Dublin… the competition of “The Castles”

FrozenDreamer — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:00:30 +0000

Having lived in Edinburgh for a number of years and having visited it numerous times to see my sister and brother-in-law, there’s little wonder that Edinburgh Castle has a special place in my heart. It sits high above the common streets of Edinburgh, shining the majesty of her past brightly for all to see. It really is an amazing piece of architecture, which I hope will never disappear!

So… going to Dublin, I visited Dublin Castle to see what the resident medieval architecture had to offer in comparison to good ol’ Edinburgh. Well… I wasn’t all that impressed. Dublin Castle is modern, with a little touch of 1970’s office chique. I was a little disappointed to be honest… it wasn’t what I was expecting at all.

To show you just exactly what I mean… here’s a comparative view.

Dublin Castle (top) vs Edinburgh Castle (bottom)

It’s fairly safe to say that for grandeur, Edinburgh wins hands down! Clearly the Irish missed a trick, but at least they can still justify a gift shop and a tour!

There’s No Place like Homo (FFK) - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:30:14 +0000

I know this may be a slightly biased view when it comes to the Fringe and this particular performance… but I don’t care.

I was in Edinburgh on Business and couldn’t miss the chance to see Far From Kansas, the LGMC Commercial Choir, perform their show THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOMO. I’d missed the chance to see it performed at The Kings Head in Islington… so was really looking forward to it.

Well… I was not disappointed! The show was funny, well sung, well choreographed and had a glass of free champers to start it!

Of course I sat at the front, and a few of the chorus boys spotted me singing along to a few of the numbers I know… and yes… I sat on the Second Tenor side!

Hopefully the whole run has been a success, and I’d not have any trouble in deciding to go and see another one of their shows!

Well done boys! You’ve done us all proud!

On the Road Again….

FrozenDreamer — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:35:03 +0000

I flew up to Edinburgh today on one of the scariest little airplanes I have EVER been on! It was tiny, half empty… and NOT A JET! Oh my gawd… I have never flown on a propellor plane, and it’s a scary experience.

So, here I am, staying in the Edinburgh Holiday Inn in Corstorphine. Interesting hole… but it’ll do! At least they give you free chocolate.

The scary little plane I flew up to Edinburgh on…

Olympics Ladies Marathon

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:47:12 +0000

I’m staying up to watch the ladies marathon at The Olympics, purely because I can and because it’s a one in every 4 year event. I’d prefer to watch the mens… but I have work to get to on Monday.

The Romanian seems to be doing really well. She’s got a huge gap, so hopefully will get the medal.

The commentators have said nothing good about Paula Radcliffe, so no wonder she’s in 12th position.
Kudos to the Chinese supporters though… they’re all very cheery, and there hasn’t been an open space along the whole route. However, the organisers are nuts. The drinks tables are really close together and the barriers have legs jutting out into the course! Bad organisation on that side. On the other hand, the route is good… really nice run through the centre of Beijing.

Ooooh… as I write this, Paula just cramped up. I suspect she won’t complete the race!

UPDATE: Proved wrong… Paula finished 22nd! Congrats Paula… ya did well!

The football season starts… there’s scum about!

FrozenDreamer — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:12:59 +0000

Yip… it seems to go hand in hand. The second the football season starts, we get weird people hanging about the building. It’s because we live around the corner from Arsenal’s stadium (it’s about 3 minutes from here).

The weird thing was… they saw Bryan and I coming back from Waitrose… and as we passed them at the gate, they asked us for a light, and then said the weirdest thing.

“Cheddar, Gay, England”

I have no idea if this was homophobia… of they wanted a dirty foursome! I guess I’ll never know.

Weirdo’s!!!

Fantastic License Plate

FrozenDreamer — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:52:47 +0000

I just found this image on a friends Facebook Profile (thanks Jill)… and I had to share it with you all!

It’s for a pole dancing place in Edinburgh called The Liquorice Club.

Annoying kids

FrozenDreamer — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:01:42 +0000

Our flat is on the ground floor in the School House we live in, and looks out into a communal garden which has a child infestation. The local ‘residents’ all dump their offspring into the yard and they run riot around the place. Throwing stones, playing with balls and just making FAR too much noise.

I have decided we need to install some equipment to solve the problem and will be looking for a suitable supplier in the week. Here’s what I’ll be getting….

BBC Proms - Prom 39 at The Royal Albert Hall

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:15:16 +0000

There isn’t much to say about this prom really. I didn’t enjoy it at all. Loads of French, and the occasional bit of music. I didn’t have a clue what was happening. It just sounded like a French bloke having a moan in a supermarket!

Wouldn’t recommend seeing this piece if it comes up again… so here are the details:

Pierre BoulezMémoriale (’… explosante-fixe …’ Originel)
StravinskyL’Histoire du Soldat
Members of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
Daniel Barenboimconductor

BBC Proms - Prom 38 at The Royal Albert Hall

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:00:20 +0000

Again, we went to The Royal Albert Hall to see Prom 38, it was a brilliant performance by a Palestine and Israeli Orchastra. Security was very tight, and those celebrities who were in the audience weren’t too pleased with the extra searches being made… this included international star Prunella Scales .

They were incredibly good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially from our front row box seats on the Grand Tier (I’m such a tart!)

Haydn Sinfonia Concertante in B flat major, for oboe, bassoon, violin, cello*

BBC Proms - Prom 37 at The Royal Albert Hall

FrozenDreamer — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:30:53 +0000

Bryan’s employer own a box at the Royal Albert Hall, and tickets which are made available to staff are obtainable using a ‘raffle’ system. We were lucky enough to get a set of six tickets to see three seperate Proms at The Royal Albert Hall.

The view from the box is spectacular, and the Proms were equally as entertaining (except for Prom 39)

I’m not Classical Music Guru… so you’re best checking out Bryan’s Website for any review of the music that was played… so to cheat… I’ll paste some info directly from the RAH website.

Ravel La Valse
Anders HillborgClarinet Concerto (Peacock Tales) (UK premiere)

The Royal Albert Hall… a view from “The Box”

FrozenDreamer — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:40:13 +0000

Bryan’s employer own a box at The Royal Albert Hall… and Bryan is lucky enough to be able to bid for tickets to see the shows from the box. We’re right in the middle of the Proms season, so what a fantastic little perk to be able to take advantage of.

This is the view you get from the box (click for bigness)

Cute guy on the train…

FrozenDreamer — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:54:54 +0000

Sometimes when you’re on the train / tube or a bus, you see someone that is quite honestly gorgeous. Well… such a moment happened the other day on the train coming back from work, so using my VERY best spy methods, I snapped this picture of the cutie for you all to bask in his splendor.

I’m back at work

FrozenDreamer — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:10:59 +0000

This image says it all…..

I don’t want to be at work… too tired!

What a fantastic philosophy… The Jar

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:58:58 +0000

I was in ORTAK, a shop that sells gifts, pictures etc. The sort of place you browse but don’t usually buy from. I did however spot this picture on the wall, and it really sparked a nerve somewhere in my head.

Basically, it’s a guy holding an empty jar over his head. The writing underneath it says, SUCCESS. At first, I thought… “What the hell does that mean”, but then I realised that it meant you fill your own glass up to make a full life. I love this analogy and plan on adopting it. Fill up the jar, loads of things inside of it to make a successful life!

Brilliant!

Sorry about the delays…

FrozenDreamer — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 23:33:53 +0000

I’m on holiday at the moment, so any regular blogging cycle has kinda gone out the window. Promise I’ll get back on track as soon as I get on the train back to London… I have so much to say and tell you

The Olympics are back!!!!! AT LONG LAST!!!!!

FrozenDreamer — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:00:41 +0000

Bryan and I were REALLY lazy today and spend the whole day in front of the TV watching the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing, and then The Kite Runner with a few friends of Gillian’s (Bryan’s sister).

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the opening ceremony that I’ve piched from other websites… as well as a shot I took of the TV… because I’m a sad git!

The Improverts - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:03:42 +0000

Bryan and I go to see the Improverts EVERY year we visit the Fringe. They are simply a Fringe MUST! I love improvised comedy, made famous by “Whose Line is it Anyway”, and The Improverts never fail to impress.

With games such as ‘Should Have Said’, ‘Swap Out’ and ‘The Councilor’ your sides will be splitting by the end of your hour long ordeal with the troup.

Make it a regular, go every year… just one problem (and I won’t mark the show down for this)… avoid the token Yaa’s who usually sit at the back. They were swarming this year and should have been taken out back and hunted!

Good times!

Les Miserables - ***/5

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:15:35 +0000

I love The American High School Theatre company… they never fail to amaze you with their professionalism and amazing talents! That said, this year’s show, Les Miserables, was a little bit of a let down for me. This could be for a few reasons (1) last year I watched them perform my favourite show EVER (Chicago) and they blew me away. Hitting that mark would be hard and (2) I have no idea what the story was all about so was so confused that I lost interest half way through.

The problem here is that they’ve condensed a three hour musical into an hour and a half. Not an easy thing to do. The only problem with doing something as ballsy as this is that you risk alienating people who don’t know the plot… like me.

Still, I have to give them their dues… for teeny-boppers… they’re fecking brilliant! West End quality singing and amazing acting skills. I look forward to seeing them again next year… just I’ll do some research first to make sure I know what they’re actually doing on stage.

Adventures of Pink Peter - ***/5

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:30:19 +0000

I was brought up in South Africa, so the wonders of Blue Peter are lost on me. However, I can appreciate kids television and the celebrity that it creates.

So Bryan booked us in to see Stuart Miles and it was actually very good. His show “Adventures of Pink Peter” is a drag act taking in three of his characters. The first, a fashion obsessed Primark guru gives advice to the audience on what to wear. The Second, a plastic surgeon who shows us how to make an ugly potato into a beautiful chip and the last one a very well to do lady telling us tories about her life in the past.

For such a small audience, it was actually very entertaining. Especially where I had Stuart Miles climbing over people to get to me so he could stare me in the eyes and flirt with me.

Yes… Stuart Miles flirted with me! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Good camp fun, if you can handle a REALLY tiny and intimate performance (there were only 15 seats in the room).

Joan Rivers - Work in Progress by a Life in Progress - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:45:07 +0000

If you don’t know who Joan Rivers is… you should! She has a VERY impressive and interresting history, which can be reviewed here .

Her show at the Fringe is fantastic (even though a little pricey… but it’s Joan… so I don’t care). It tells the story of how Joan has had to put up with age discrimination and tells a powerful story of how her home is really on the stage, performing, for the people…. right there and then.

Supported by two very flexible actors, Joan comes into her element while she recants stories from her youth and stories which have moulded her into the amazing person she is today.

Of course… the audience was about 50% homo… but Joan does love her poofy friends, so was more than happy to see us all. So happy in fact that her film crew shoved a camera in my face and interviewed me before we went into the hall.

Fabulous! She’s on tour… go and see her!

By the way… did you know it was Joan Rivers who invented the phrase “Who are you wearing”. This is now used at all award ceremonies around the world from Cannes to The Oscars!

Brief History of Scotland: We Done Loads - ***/5

FrozenDreamer — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:20:31 +0000

The weather… crap. The setting… in a hotel. The show… A Brief History of Scotland: We Done Loads. How accurate can you get. I’m wet, in the middle of Edinburgh and watching shows about the country I love most.

This show makes up for it’s lack in professionalism by planting joke after joke and poke after poke to create a weaved mix of tasteful comedy and thought provoking education. After all… who couldn’t laugh at the famous apple in the Garden of Eden being replaced by the infamous (and sometimes equally as mythological) Deep Fried Mars Bar.

The ‘Ned’ portrayal… was spot on! Just what you run into the second you get off the train in Falkirk and beyond (sorry dad).

Go check this out if it’s still playing, good fun… but low budget (but that’s what the Fringe is all about).

It’s raining!

FrozenDreamer — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:18:58 +0000

Of course, being in Scotland you have to put up with a little rain… but when there’s an International Arts festival happening right on your doorstep… you’d much rather be out with the people, enjoying their company and playing in the rain.

Of course… if I had the Caesar Twins with me… I wouldn’t be too worried

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

So… Edinburgh… what have I been up to

FrozenDreamer — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:53:10 +0000

We’ve been in Edinburgh for a few days now, and have had a great few days so far. As it’s the Festival period in Edinburgh… were obviously indulging in a few theatrical opportunities… of which I’ll round up a few on seperate posts… because it seems to make sense to do it that way

We’ve found a fabulous vegetarian indian restaurant as well.. called Kulpna’s. Really good, and I’d recommend the Thaali! YUM YUM YUM!

So… enjoy the Fringe if you are up, otherwise… you’re missing out! COME UP NEXT YEAR!

Craig Hill Makes your Whole Week - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:15:29 +0000

So, the second stand up comic, and this time with Gillian, and straight after the fab Caesar Twins.

I love Craig Hill, I think he’s really witty, and can make comedy out of ANYTHING! Bryan isn’t too keen on him, but will go and see him if I promise we can sit at the back. It’s always a good idea to avoid the sharp tongue that resides in Craig’s mouth.

He was brilliant this year, and Bryan enjoyed the show as well from the safety of the 14th row.

Check him out wherever he plays, he’s good fun!

Oh, and he takes pictures of the audience as well….

Iam at the back on the left side… you can see Bryan a lot easier!

The Caesar Twins - ****/5

FrozenDreamer — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:50:31 +0000

Last year at The Fringe we went to see an acrobatic performance from a group which came out of the Cirque De Soleil, and they were really good. This year, we decided to go with Gillian to see The Caesar Twins, a well known and respected acrobatic duo known around the globe for a few things… including:

(a) their amazing strength and agility
(b) their classy shows and… erm…
(c) their looks (OMG!)

Really great show, beautifully done, but occasionally bordering on corny. They look good wet as well!

Americans have funny dress sense

FrozenDreamer — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:35:03 +0000

I was walking in to town to Meet Bryan for the shows today, and passed this funny American girl who thought frilly red dresses were a good idea. How wrong she was!

Apologies for the not too good image, but this was the best I could do holding my phone upside down and facing the other direction

Russell Kane: Gaping Flaws - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:00:49 +0000

No Edinburgh Fringe season would be complete without a stint with a few stand-up comedians. Russell Kane is the first this year… and we’re joined by Lesley & Euan at The Pleasance.

I first saw Russell Kane perform at The Tattershall Castle in the shadow of the London Eye… he is… in a word, BRILLIANT!

If you get the chance to see this guy perform, GO! For heavens sake… he is THE BEST in his class!

The Meeting - **/5

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:25:25 +0000

Not the best show we’ve seen this year. In fact, the worst.

Dreadful acting, cringe-worthy lines and some rather OTT jokes which were seriously run into the ground make for a rather hap-hazard and unappealing piece of comedy-theatre.

I wouldn’t recommend this one, and have only given it two stars for the really cute IT Manager and his rather attractive ‘rainbow guitar’….

What’s Wrong with Angry - *****/5

FrozenDreamer — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:25:46 +0000

A show which rivals the wonders of BEAUTIFUL THING. WWWA is a show about two guys who mnage to get together even though society seems to be throwing a lot of issues their way. The usual things such as homophobia, Catholic Church problems, school bullying etc etc etc… all play a part.

It carries a powerful message, one which I like. Why? Why do people have an issue with homosexuality?

The play is a hit, and I really recommend you go and see it!

The Fringe over the next few days…

FrozenDreamer — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:59:24 +0000

So we’ve come up to Edinburgh for the usual run-around-all-over-the-place visit, with a little bit of Edinburgh Fringe mixed in.

I’ll post reviews on here and some pictures s well, so feel free to check them all out. If you’re having trouble finding things, I’ve set up a new category called Edinburgh Fringe 2008, so it should be easy enough to locate using the category selection thingy.

Enjoy!

On the train again…

FrozenDreamer — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:43:11 +0000

So at long last, we’re on our way to Edinburgh, and with any luck we should be there in about 3 hours. We’re in First Class again, purely because of two things:

1) We’re snobs
2) There aren’t any screaming kids in First Class.

It’s mostly the second point.

So… because I’m bored… here’s me on the train

and here’s Bryan…

We’re going to Edinburgh today!!!

FrozenDreamer — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:01:07 +0000

It’s about time! We’re off to Edinburgh today. I’ll no doubt be posting messages from the train… but WOO! OFF WE GO!!!!!!

Dante’s Cove… is shit!

FrozenDreamer — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:30:27 +0000

It’s not often that I turn a DVD off. I’ll usually give it a chance… especially if it has scenes of gorgeous men, erm… enjoying each other… but Dante’s Cove, which is supposed to have a plot and is supposed to be a ’soap similar to Melrose Place.

In my best “gran” impression (see Catherine Tate)… “What a piece of shit!”

Within the 10 minutes I put the DVD in, all that seemed to happen was some sort of S&M scene with a really unattractive woman and a rather attractive fellow who managed to get himself cursed.

Then there was the rather corny, butler scene where the ‘master’ gets shagged by the butler… and the rather … erm… flacid encounter between two guys in a beach hut. Oh… the scene in the taxi was quite funny as well, where two guys get it off in the back seat while the shifty looking taxi driver tries to concentrate on the road, while adjusting the rear-view mirror.

Yes… you guess it, Dante’s Cove is soft-porn!

It took me back to when I used to sneak into the family room as a teenager to watch ‘Red Shoe Diaries’… lol !!!

So yeah… avoid Dante’s Cove, with no plot, no point and dreadful acting… you’d be better watching something like ‘Dallas does Dallas’

Speculation About a ‘MacBook Touch’ Builds

Friday July 25, 2008 03:39 PM EST
Written by Arnold Kim

Speculation about a possible Apple tablet has started infiltrating the mainstream media with an article on ABCNews summarizing public reaction to this possibility. The buzz about Apple’s next product kicked into high gear after Apple’s Peter Oppenheimer uncharacteristically described a new product during the Q3 2008 financial results conference call.

Rumors about an Apple tablet have been ongoing for years with credible claims that had originally pointed to a 2003 release. Since then, it has been revealed that Apple had been working on a tablet called Safari Pad but this was later morphed into the iPhone.

Shortly after the financial results call, MacDailyNews published an unconfirmed report about a “MacBook Touch” with a laundry list of possible features. While the exact details of the report remain up for debate, an earlier rumor from Jason O’Grady did point to a Mac OS X tablet launching this September or October. O’Grady believes this sort of iTablet is exactly what Oppenheimer was referring to.

This, to me, means that Apple is going to leverage the more than 100 patents (like MultiTouch) that they’ve filed for iPhone in a larger screen device that borrows heavily from iPhone. Think of a larger, media playing, eBook reading iTablet with 3G, GPS, and Bluetooth. Now think of it in 6, 8 and 10-inch screen sizes. This is when things get interesting.

Indeed, Apple’s extensive multitouch patent library has depicted multitouch control panels intended for use in Mac OS X and not just the iPhone OS.

Many believe that if Apple were to introduce a Tablet-based computer, they would have addressed the issues that have prevented mass adoption of existing Tablet PCs. Based on the “Safari Pad” codename of their previous tablet project, it seems obvious that Apple once considered web browsing to be the killer app of such a device.

Oh my lordy! If they release a MacBook Touch… I will buy one… I just must have one!

Weird man seen on the Tube…!

I saw this guy on The Tube recently and had to do my usual ’sneaky picture’ similar to the methods used to capture the earlier images of Margaret from The Apprentice.

It’s not a brilliant picture… but his shirt says, “Please turn me over so I don’t choke on my own vomit”.

Nice…!

We were in Tesco this evening and saw the ultimate insult to anyone who understands value for money.

Now, anyone who thinks that paying 94p for a drink that 1) costs a fortune and 2) isn’t a known DRINKS brand and more importantly, 3) plays into the hands of a corrupt commercial giant, is a good thing… they need their bumps read!

I would boycott Tesco, but.. I need dinner!

Omid Djalili at Cadogan Hall

FrozenDreamer — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:37:21 +0000

What a fabulous evening. We arrived at Sloane Square after a rather sticky and hot journey on the tube, and made our way to Cadogan Hall to pick up the tickets for the show. After that, made our arounf Sloane Square to have a look at some of the local shops. It was when we were in the local shops, that you really realise just exactly WHERE you are in London… ‘posh-ville’. I took some images to explain what I mean about this…

So we went back to Cadogan Hall and got ourselves a glass of wine (vinegar), where Bryan pointed out that we were in the company of celebrity! Margaret Mountford of The Apprentice Fame was no more than 10 feet away from where we were sitiing with two of her friends. I was a bit naughty, and snuck a sneaky shot to prove that I saw her… and for your viewing pleasure… here it is…

So the show… to start with a bit of a slow start. Omid’s supporting act was on for about half an hour, and well, could have been a little funnier. I wasn’t hugely enamored to be honest. He left, interval was had and then Omid was on for a good hour and a half.

Omid Djalili is fabulous in the flesh. Really a great comic to watch. He has a lot of energy and manages to get a laugh out of you while also pushing through a very valid political message. I enjoyed it immensely.

If you are reading this and in Edinburgh, he is performing the show there and also, I suspect, a few other shows on the way up to Edinburgh.

In case you’re wondering who Omid Djalili is… this may jog your memory!

We’re off to see Omid Djalili at Cadogan Hall

How exciting is this… we’re off to go and see Internationally famous Omid Djalili, at Cadogan Hall this evening! I saw his flyer when I was performing with LGMC and HAD to go. It’ll be fabulous and I’ll post to let you know what it was like.

For those of you who have no idea who I’m on about… check out this YouTube vid to understand!
