It is truely a lovely place the JMB and I am so humbled to be a part of it.

Hear hear Afar. I must confess I've been thinking about jacqui's video all day today and I'm sooooooooooooo pleased to part of the JMB world. I confess I was uncertain when I first came across this board but was quickly wooed by the genuine affection we all have for each other and of course, the man who brought us here in the first place.

Thank you again jacqui, you really are a true star.

[fallatyourfeet]

Thanks so much for that jacqui. Watching this caused spontaneous thirteen year old type giggles from me too.
James is such a good sport.

very well done - quick question - was the queue 100% female?

Good question Flatin5th.... I was wondering that too!

[dit]

Far from it, though I would guess probably over 50% female. There were a number of couples, blokes in pairs and quite a lot of guys on their own.

Must admit, it was the ladies who tended to hang around though (as it was in a mall it was possible to do that). The guys were more likely to wait a while, take a few photos then leave.

Hi Jacqui, Youve made my day.. in a BIG BIG WAY!! Thanks So Much, that was simply BRILLIANT,

AND THANK YOU JAMES!!

ive been a lurker for some time but i simply cannot hold my silence any longer.. what a wonderful gift for us, especially as i live all the way out in australia.

Im so very proud of this group! All of you!! what a Fantastic bunch you all are - brilliant minds- creative geniuses and the entertainment never ends. nor does the laughter...oh god, the hours of laughter.

while watching that video i felt like a very very naughty girl . im all in a hot sweat now. knowing that James. well.. KNOWS
well, we always knew.. but . that.. verbal statement was enough confirmation to get the heart racing.

May the naughtiness on JMB never end ;D ;D ;D

[From Afar]

Hello Jester and welcome into the light of the JMB from the darkness of lurking ;D

*waves madly*

[devil-may-care]

*waves from the U.S.*

*hopes she can be seen from here*

Hey Jester! Welcome to the JMB! We may all be mad, but isn't it fun?!?! ;D ;D

[jacqui]

Welcome Jester ;D
We are definitely 'mad' but also very nice with it ;D

[Korri]

Oh wow. That's just fabulous ;D Thank you so much Jacqui!! (And thank you James!!)

We are all indeed a wonderful, dedicated, and stark raving bonkers group of people - and isn't it brilliant??

[dit]

The great Pink Floyd understand:

"I've been mad for f***ing years, absolutely years......I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us have...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

And I know my place!

[Hops]

Welcome, Jester De-lurking is good!

[lew]

Welcome to another completely bonkers member

[pie]

Yay, yet another bonkers Aussie! ;D Welcome Jester! *waves*

[bayleaf]

Thank you, Jacqui that was incredibly brave, and kind of you to share your moment with James !!!

I remember Mayfayre's inspired contribution to the Advent calendar. Any new members that haven't seen it MUST take a look. It was pant-wettingly funny at the time, and to have a message from James on the last day was almost unbelievable - the icing on the Christmas cake! James as Mary in the Nativity scene on 24th brought tears to my eyes (but not of sorrow!).

It also reassured me that the ladies of the Board were not merely nutcases but actually rather witty and intelligent as James once said - (you did, honest) and I joined as soon as I could delete the confirmation email without my husband finding out.....

JAMES, YOU ARE INDEED A GOOD SPORT.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ADVENT CALENDAR (It's OK it's not rude or anything!!!)
It can be found on the General Board here (and I've bumped it):

[jacqui]

Not brave at all, by the time i got to the table i was actually quite calm - "don't ask don't get" my dear old mum used to say, been my moto since she passed away last year and its done me alright so far ;D ;D

[devil-may-care]

I could watch this address over and over again! ;D

As a matter of fact, I have been. ;D

Almost midnight?? Where does the time go?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[TheDaisy]

I am so not mad.


Okay, maybe I am, then ;D

Nice one Jacqui! And James, what a sport y'are

[helen]

Thanks for that

[Doofey]

You are fantastic Jacqui, what a lovely thing to do! Thank you. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I do pop in from time to time! Still proud to say that I am a mad mayhemer!
Merry Christmas to you all (including you James if you are lurking here somewhere!). xxx

[jacqui]

Good to see you back Doofey - glad you enjoyed it ;D

[aj]

major squee!!!

Oh, he is so incredibly lovely isn't he?

Thanks so much Jacqui for thinking of us mayhemers abroad.

[morganstarr89]

*is now very proud at being a mayhemer*

[jess_lou]

Jacqui you are a legend!!! Thank you so much for doing this!!

What does he say right at the end?? After he tells us all we are mad?? ( mad?? As if!!)

[xjsarah]

He said: "I've read it."

As in, he's read the JMB.

[jess_lou]

Thanks Sarah. I thought that's what he said. Oh dear. He's read it!! Aggghhhh!!!

[dit]

He was in such good form that day. I talked to him next after Jacqui and he asked if I was also from the JMB. When he got a 'yes' he again said we were all mad, but as in Jacqui's video he said it in an affectionate way. I think he truly doesn't understand what we see in him.

Ahem - has nobody told him there are perilously few intelligent, witty, car-orientated, educated, modest Renaissance men out there? Who are also attractive to a wide range of ladies? Ah well, perhaps the fact that he still hasn't caught on is part of his appeal.
