But this is a good kind of dagginess, I think !!
Woke up this morning not feeling especially good but perked up a little after I had a shower. Got to work and it was all downhill, so have come home to rest up, and luckily have a day off tomorrow anyhow. This isn't the daggy part however LOL On the way home I was listening to The Edge radio station (94.2 here in aucks), and they were having a live interview with Ben Harper after he'd played a concert last night. I am SUCH a huge fan of his music, and was so upset that I couldn't go to the concert  Anyway, after listening intently all the way home, and trying to ring in only to find the phone lines were busy - I sent them a txt (to the studio). Bubs is a big fan of his Diamonds on the Inside CD, she loves to "dance" to it and seems to calm down after having had a boogie, so I asked them to tell him - and JUST as I pull in the driveway - they read it to him  I can't recall word for word what he said but he said that was awesome and then something else... and even Jay Jay thought it was cute !! LMAO
I am *so* going to the Warehouse when I feel better and buying his new CD 
*ahem* Anyway, off to bed now.... *snort sniffle cough wheeze snort sneeze*  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

| AAAHHHH I missed it! I love Ben too Jax. I went to the concert in Tokyo when I was pregnant with Jake and he kicked the whole way. And the concert was the BEST one I've ever been to, and I've been to many! |

I was particularly gutted about this concert as it was a 2hr+ acoustic set including an orchestra, AND he's just had some *more* work done on his ta moko maori design tattoo... which I was really keen to see ! But I'm definitely keen on his new album. It also sounds like he wants to buy property here as he loves it so much, they mentioned something about Raglan (as he likes to surf as well)... ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Well. I searched and searched for some goss on that one. And the best I could come up with was that. Dom was really taking the piss all the time over his new job (headliners) and his GF (tania). There were apparently some nasty phone calls.
Although this is all rumor so we will never know the truth. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Yes there were prank calls made to Jase and his girlfirend to the point they felt they had to move house. It was in the newspapers at the time but I can't locate a link. I don't know the last name of Jason, it might be under that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ohhhh here we go....found some info....this should take you through to page two....info at the top.
http://www.listener.co.nz/issue/3408/columnists/4603/the_youth_vote,1.html - Click Here "Reeves agreed on a financial settlement with CanWest in June. He had previously left the company in the wake of an extraordinary incident in which his fellow on-air hosts, Jay-Jay Feeney and Dominic Harvey, sent about 20 “prank” text messages whose content was sufficiently unnerving for Reeves’s partner to move out of her house on safety grounds." ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm not a big fan of all the chatter, but because there is so much of it, I often swing between the radio and a CD... ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

*snort sneeze cough wheeze hack sniffle sneeze* Ok... back to bed I think. Had a Lemsip and some cereal for lunch (Yay for Cheerios !) and am back to feeling snivelly, heavy headed and sore, yech. Although I have had the chance to chuckle at myself because almost every time I go to type 'Lemsip' I end up typing 'Lemspit' instead Hehehe. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I was friends with a guy who used to work with them and right from the start there were issues with Dom and Jase, got much worse when Jay Jay got him a job too.
P.S. Love Ben too. Went to his concert in Auckland a few years back and would have looooved to go to this one. Damn well would have if he'd come to Wellington. |

I hate the rock. hey Nikki, Ben is coming back in december. We might come down to wellington and stay with dad for it. How about we go together? I can even wrangle you a free babysitter in my dad and step-mum.
One of my old girlfriends from uni works for the edge. I haven't spoken to her for ages, but she won an award for best radio promotion thing. And I liked JJ and Dom on Treasure Island. I hated Peggy. Grrrr Peggy. |

| not a rock fan myself and couldnt stand simon and peggie on celeb treasure island. I do think Dom is a bit of an arrogant pig sometimes though but thats probably the image he puts on? All a bit strange though, I always thought Jase and the others got along really well, came back from being overseas and he was gone. I also love that they do jingle bail and all that for good causes |

Well I have insider knowledge about Ben moving to NZ, he is looking at property in Whale Bay (Raglan) and is keen on two houses but can't choose. Mind you I found this out about 3 weeks ago so he may have brought already. Will use it as a holiday home until the rags finish school then hes looking (very keenly) to move over here  ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">
