IL DIVO : Reality Check

Just read this on the ole OF--seems there is a special for one of the concerts- London perhaps



at 450GBP, this is the package Mark Butler, it includes a seat in the first 9 rows (not allocated at the time of purchase), sound check,Q & A, chance of photo, food and drink with the Guys. Can be booked direct from their website or contact them by phone

That is over $700 USD! Ridiculous

so let me get this right..you pay that money and you show up for this 'special' package....and these guys know that you have spent all that money to be there for the 'privilage'......how feckin' mortifying... how desperate...how stupid.... I just feel sorry for them now... of course there are only 'certain 'fans' who'll do that...the likes of the Gummmini,Amber, her friend Van Lush,the Randy Rev.....to name but a few half wits...I hope someday they get the shag they are paying/ looking for... and once again ID laugh and smile allllllllll the way to the bank ....
£450 to make a fool of yourself in front of 4 men who couldn't give a rats arse who you are so long as you've paid the price...I'm very disappointed in these men of ID and how they take advantage of these numbskulls and their fantasy filled lives..it would answer them better to show some kind of awareness and discourage this kind of thing knowing that these idiotic females....(I refuse to call them women... ) are so caught up in their fantasy that they have checked out of reality.... How bad must their lives be if a musical group means so much to them..... but let them get on with it... in the 'sisterhood' they are the norm to the rest of us they are pathetic.... it takes all sorts as they say....

Now, dear friends, I am on the horns of the proverbial, you see, my problem is this:

Do I fork out on a milk and greet to meet the guys up close and personal or, do I spend the money on a much needed new washing machine

Well, being as I gotta brain, it obvious the new washer wins hands down

I can't understand why ANYONE would fork out a small fortune just to be able to say they had a picture taken with (insert Divo of choice) next to them and the other guys, and waaaaay overpriced nibbles and plonk, the term plonker comes to mind, especially as some seem hell bent on doing so over and over and over and over and over and over...........

No, if I do manage to get to a show, it will be in, them home straight after, no going 'lurking' in certain hotels on the off chance of bumping into a Divo, got Biker Groves at home waiting, the real deal, so no fantasies required, ta very much, as Colleen would say 'GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR'

I agree- the real thing is always always better than the fantasy!!

Ah Loki- glad you didn't fork over your washer money for a waste of time- If the ID guys didn't look bored out of their minds with the photos- it may be a different story. Is it me, or do you see more happiness in the chance meeting photos of them meeting with the fans at the airport or where ever, versus the staged photo??? Especially Urs and David- seems they were their emotions a bit more on the sleeve- as for Carlos- the smile is always there-- unless the phone is to the ear!

Be bad ladies!!

Worry not, my friend, I was only joking,

While I don't mind paying to go to a concert, I ain't paying any money to be able to 'meet' anyone, least of all Il Divo, THEY should pay to meet ME, then count themselves lucky, if only because I would be honest with them, imagine that

I wouldn't feel comfortable wasting that amount of money for a few minutes and for what

Nah, this witchy 'lil' biker can think of plenty of better things to waste that money on

Well, it seems the Izambards are stranded in Hong Kong because of the Quantas airlines lockdown, they were on their way to Oz, evidently.

Aaaand once again, it is the Irish fault, it seems the fault has been laid squarley at the door of the CEO of Quantas, who just happens to be Irish!!!

THIS was on his facebook page:

Quote :

Donna Smiley: I feel that I need to apologise for the inconvenience caused to you guys. I'd say the Aussie trade unions are doing their job but the Irish CEO Alan Joyce has gone mad. Grounding all international and national flights at a loss of 13M GBP A DAY to the company is simply crazy! If I were a Qantas shareholder, I would look very closely at the CEO's pay, and his sanity! Bet he doesn't dare to do this in his home country!
When you finally get there, do enjoy the sun, the beach, the surf, Tim Tams, sushi's... and give vegemite another chance? Bisous.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz about time they changed the record, dontcha think

She's apologiseing to Il Divo because Quantas grounded their aircraft... now really do you have to read any further than her first sentence to know she's a sap... actually their 'IRISH' C.E.O grounded the fleet because he knew ID were flying out and given that they have such an Anti Irish fan base of trolls he thought he'd piss the girlies off a bit... we had a word with him....
Poor Donna should look at her own sanity whoever she is...

No he wouldn't do this in his own country because he's the CEO of QUANTAS an Austrailan Airline...you d**khead...

“I’m a loyal Diva no matter what but I hate David’s personal sense of style. Why is he wearing those dumb boots? I hate how his complexion isn’t perfect in that picture.

Hands up who else wonders if Ursonne got rid of her TV after reading THIS part of an interview with The Oors The bit where he talks about "tv thrown out the window"....that was her

Translation is woeful but you all get the gist

Quote :

You’re appeared on ‘America’s Got Talent “. What do you think personally of all the talent show formats?

URS: The big mistake in these programs is that participants believe that this is a faster, be more convenient and easier way to get rich and famous. Here, the work begins after such a victory in the first place. I myself do not follow these shows, because I have no TV, but to find new talent, that’s certainly not a bad thing.

Urs!!!! Such a wonderful person !!!
We are sooo alike !!! I also hate TV and not this much things like Facebook , which i acknowledge can sometimes be dangerous. Some also manage wonderfully to get the hell out of me and they know how easy it is !!! Yes, Urs...TV and Facebook away !!!

Crashing sound as plasma screen sails through a window.....................

Bless

Ursonne... This person is just SICK. You should see how she goes on and on about how ALIKE she and the Oors are ...Also she once posted that its sooooooo much better to have a imaginary boyfriend than a real one.... Since they'll stay "together" forver and ever and blahblahblah......

I got the link to the site from a good friend on FB Yes,that bad,baaaaad FB

To be honest, I just thought of her as a bit boogaloo but harmless. You know the type....away with the fairies but more to be pitied? Most of them are mentally and emotionally damaged and its sad to watch....its the nasty pieces of work that I have the problem with



I read THIS today and just nodded....another person who lives in fantasy, unable to cope with real life. She sacrificed her marriage to pursue her "men". Sounds familiar

Hopefully Westlife will have the wit and responsibility to keep this woman at arms length. Feeding an obsessed fan with attention is like handing a drug addict some smack and patting them on the head.

Hi there Reb How have you been? Great to see you back at the bar

Ursonne is of course harmless,mostly because she lives in France and,as it seems,doesn't have the $ to go chasing the Oors around the globe like her fellow nutcases...Which are just as much "damaged" as she is but just don't show it as much as she does that they've got some cups missing upstairs

Just read the article you've posted When the time comes that ID splits.........

Aye but you see, Daria....the "obvious" are the ones I just sigh at for they are seriously to be pitied. Its the sneaky, nasty and conniving followers who get my hackles up. There are some out there who will stop at nothing to get what they want. They run roughshod over people, play the "victim" card, using their personal lives to drum up attention. They announce illnesses, personal loss and other issues that should remain private, to bring attention to themselves To use a personal circumstance to gain sympathy...for example, a family loss or a childs illness, just smacks of self-serving manipulation and any fool who falls for it needs a sharp wake-up call.

If I had these issues on-going in my life, the last thing I would fine the time for, or even have the energy for, would be to get on the internet to post about it. I'd be too busy tending to the problem

Poor Ursonne just suffers from delusion and needs professional help urgently. There are others out there who are plain dangerous.

And don't we know it first hand,

These persons (and I use the word loosely as they don't deserve to be called women) are dangerous, lying, psychopaths who will stop at nothing to outdo their fellow nutjobs.

Yes, Whitney did run right over there and glom on to Urs ASAP during the commercial break. And she was wearing six-inch heels and kind of invading his space. So maybe he felt like he had been cut from the herd by a hungry lioness and wanted to be back with the rest of the gazelles, lol....

I know we've given up taking the p*ss out of the loons but I REALLY couldn't resist this one....It's too priceless and I am weak as water

Hearing any of them showing irritation at Urs having his "space invaded", is like hearing Silvio Berlusconi calling someone a dirty old man Oh the hypocrasy

What did she do? Take off her dress and straddle him as he walked across the stage? Or did she flirt like bejaysus and grab his hand?

"Hello, pot....this is Laurene....You're black"

Loving it!!!

Too funny...
Poor Laurene she likes to think she's a cut above the common stalker....posting with her snout in the air and thinking she's any different to the nuts she looks down on.... and how dare this cheeky high heel wearing chicky invade Ursy's personal space isn't that the job of the stalkers ...shame on this Whitney...she should be taken outside by the true fans and given a severe bashing... in true Diva Style...
You are right Reb....we should stop making fools of the Nuts....they do a perfectly good job allllllll by themselves...
I see a lot of the creepy crawlies are out from under their rocks now that their 'boyfriends' are on the move...must be hunting season again....funny how Queen Laurene uses the term 'Hungry Lioness'..... Pot..Kettle...Black indeed... 'she' The Bizzzzznesssss....

God bless each and every one of them

I believe The Oors has released a single. Love his new short hair in the video Carlos is a bit hairy though.................

God bless them for sure....they are nothing if not persistant in their Divo Quest...

I had a read of this... I'd love to say this is unbelievable...but due to our experience of delusional nutcases we know there are actually saddos in the world just like this individual... the most disturbing thing about it is that she has 2 children... imagine having a creature like that as a mother... poor kids..
You would certainly hope the guys of Westlife would take a responsible approach to a nut like that...I think all celebrities worth their salt have a duty not to encourage anybody who shows extreme or stalking tendancies...they have no idea what effect this madness has on the families and lives of these ridiculous delusional women...
