You know it'd be nice for you to have an annual summer party or something to celebrate all the wonderful things that helped make this happen. Or a picnic on the beach. It'll be nice to celebrate the re-birth of this lovely home as well as your life.

Hope I can blag an invite to the summer garden party And I have a name for the book....

Oh, oh, another memory.

When the boy's first came out the house and things had calmed down a little we were teasing them as they didn't have Mike's Mob TShirts on (knowing that we had them for them anyway).......

Sam said "Who cares, we got a house".

My favourite quote ever!!!!

And I think Janet's memory is fading (just a little) - Mike said he had always just tossed his butt out of the window onto his rubble of a garden but made a decision that there would no longer be smoking in the house. So out to the garden we went..... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Maty, I stand corrected, I plead a senior moment, but I was stood next to the boys in their unsigned Mike's Mob T Shirts when Nick asked them why they had no autographs which prompted Sam;s reply as you quoted. No matter - we all have such a headfull of memories its no big deal.
:cool:x

Wishing you Mike & family the very best of luck. But judging how this is gone, I think you make your own luck. :A

PS: apart from crying throughout(!) did anyone else gulp when Nick Knowles said something like look what can happen when you believe good things can happen ***sniff***. :A

PPS: round of applause for everyone who supported Mike.

Never a tuer word was spoken (or at least, letters typed!). I'm sure any-one reading will have realised Mike is not one to sit back and just see how things pan out!

All of us came together to achieve a great deal in 2010. Let's build on that in 2011!

And yes, Merrywidow, I wholeheartedly agree on your views of the cameraman I seem to have some random photos of some random builders too .

Can any of the mobster's who were there figure out if the clip of Nick talking out the bedroom window made it in? The one where we were all in the room behind bashing together the bed? Or the desk? Or most of us were. Some-one was taking photographs of a certain Mr Knowle's bottom on my camera (no, it wasn't me!)

I remember Nick swearing loudly as he forgot to duck coming up the stairs and crashed his head off the low ceiling! And Julian accidently getting locked in the cupboard at the top of the stairs as the handle fell off. :rotfl:

And Joe, leading us, like the pied piper, around the corner for the big reveal. Where we were all supposed to be very quiet so as not to arouse Mike's suspicion. Easier said than done with that many, excited, hyper people!

And yes, the cup cakes were phenomenal!

Ooh beach party, I would love to come and meet you all. Could swap stories.

Have watched through a few times so far and I don't think the window shot made it - hardly surprising, he wasn't happy about it was he :rotfl:

I was outside looking up, I know you guys had the better view, and yes, I have seen the photograph! :T:j:rotfl::j:T

niccatw

No, wouldn't have made it before the watershed! I still can't figure out whether he was "getting into character" or if he was truly that hacked off! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have managed to burn the photos to CD now! But I don't think mine are on Mike's site he made up (he did do that, right? I'm not losing [more] of my marbles?)
