[amie8]

James was tweeting last night from the Manlab wrap party. Nothing to do now but wait for it to turn up on our screens

[eshalda]

Any idea when it is going to be shown?

Need to know....how do you know it was the wrap party and not some other drunken occasion?? Hmmmm??? Hmmmm?? ;D

[amie8]

Only because he said so. Other members of the crew were also tweeting, I believe. It's due to be shown "in the autumn", so I'm guessing October-ish

[dit]

It was Rory (Barker) who specifially identified it as a wrap party rather than a general p1ss-up.

#manlabwrapparty

sim went home early.

Then, this morning

3 hour post-wrap party journey to work.

#hungoverandverylatebutitsnotmyfault

studio wrapping today. Still more shoots/production



EDIT: James has just tweeted, in response to a question as to why Top Gear is not in the Olympics,

Manlab is in the olympics. #JustYouWaitAndSee

Right then....I've clearly slipped up in my twitter monitoring. Tsk tsk! They seem to have the wrap party and then do more work!

[dit]

I wondered about that. Perhaps they have the wrap party the last time all the team will be together; after that it will be bits and pieces that only involve a handful of people at a time.

Or it was a massive booze-up that they felt they had to christen in order to justify it. You know the sort of thing - "Good grief dear, you don't think we just went out to get p1ssed? It was a wrap party".

Bunji on FinalGear has just posted this bulletin, from Woking, about his encounter today with James, who challenged him/her to a game of rock, paper, scissors:

"He was doing a bit for Man Lab. He challenged me to a game (three throws - first was a draw, second was his win, third was my win) and it was recorded. We chatted a bit afterwards and he mentioned that Woking has produced 3 world champions in the game of Rock Paper Scissors. With his permission I snapped a pic (didn't want to be somewhat creepy and take one of him unawares.) One of my better walks into town!"

There was also a picture, but I can't do anything about that as I'm at work at the mo.

Thank you, Lindenchase

[jacqui]

Lucky lucky people ;D

Nice pic too - thank you!

[dit]

Good to see you again, lindenchase - it's been a while!

The photo is super; hope you don't mind if I 'borrow' it and put it on another thread? It's a good one.

[amie8]

He's also been spotted in a pub with Razor Ruddock, and pictured wearing what appears to be a shirt with the Manlab logo on the back

[dit]

I have pictures!

Apparently it was some sort of Olympics in Rock, Paper, Scissors. Teams were involved and yes, kimono-style kit was being worn, with the Man Lab logo on the back.

[jmsquared]

Wonderful find Dit! That's going to be a loopy segment. Loving the last pic, too. Verrrry nice.

So Man Lab radio is hitting the Milton keynes area next tuesday - i'm off that day so will try and tune in!
Looking for guests for a radio quiz; whats good about MK - mmm will need to think about that one Also relationship guidence from James - srenading bound to be amongst the solutions

Now that can only go well............. NOT ;D

[slfriend79]

The Twitter Man Lab account posted this today.

Right then Man Labbers, on Tuesday 14th August, Radio man Lab will be broadcasting LIVE to the Milton Keynes area for one day only on 107FM.

And they are looking for input on a bunch of subjects.

[ljcteehee]

www.mkfm.com/
Milton Keynes 107 can be listened to live through iTunes. AND it works in the U.S.

[flatin5th - Knight of the NC]

you wouldn't think this was happening if you stumbled onto MKFM website! I have had a look around and I can't see any mention (or am I being blind again?)

[jacqui]

Perhaps they are blissfully unaware of what's about to hit them... remember when TG took over BBc Southern Counties radio..... that didn't go well ;D

[dit]

He was obviously being charming in Woking - this from twitter


mrjamesmay as in top gears mr may? Coz he did a card trick on my neighbour in Woking yesterday just before she popped in. My boys were well impressed by my elderly neighbour even if she had no idea who he was we do

[crumbs]

His hair is looking good in those photos.

[dit]

Another one - I would credit it, but the page I got it from just says 'credit to the source'.

At last, a bit of information about Milton Keynes radio tomorrow (Tuesday)

Published on Monday 13 August 2012 17:14

TOP Gear star James May will be broadcasting to Milton Keynes tomorrow (Tuesday).

As part of his TV show Man Lab ‘Captain Slow’ will be on the air on Tuesday, August 14 from a canal boat on the Grand Union, starting the day in Cosgrove Wharf and docking at Fenny Stratford at around 4pm.

Radio Man Lab will be available on 107FM on Tuesday.

If you are interested in being part of James May’s show, email [e-mail]

(Though it's from the local paper, and if it's anything like my local paper it'll be wrong)

[amie8]

Don't get me started on local newspapers!

Hellishly off topic, but my favourite local front page headline: "VICAR RESCUES HORSE FROM DITCH"

Slow news day - one of many

OK, back to Manlab

[slfriend79]

James Tweeted that it's off for tomorrow.

Radio Manlab has sadly been postponed owing to the unique way in which Manlab is organised. It will be back soon. #Back?#ItWasNeverHere

[dit]

He's just added


'There will still be Radio Manlab, it's just delayed. #NationShallSpeakUntoNationEventually'

I imagine he's gutted as he was still actively promoting it up to two hours before it was pulled, so it must have been a last-minute decision. I did find it odd that the radio station involved didn't have anything about it on their website, and the local press only seemed to pick up on it late afternoon today. I'm guessing there may have been some tense moments tonight.

[dit]

Double post, sorry.

I actually tuned into Milton Keynes radio this morning to see if there was any reference to the Man Lab postponement, and I must admit that it seems the most unlikely sort of station to get involved with Man Lab. It's apparently relatively new and just seems to churn out top 20 stuff without a break, apart from about once every half an hour when a very young voice comes on and says in effect, 'that was that record, this is this one'. Hardly seems to fit in with the concept of Man Lab transmitting all day as they sail down the Grand Union canal.

Love Fungus are disappointed

Unfortunately, our singer Mat McIvor will not be talking to James May on the radio today! James May's Man Lab are having technical problems and the show has been postponed until another date! We'll keep you posted on when and where!

[dit]

I think I'm going to have to stop posting - definitely a tumbleweed situation here!



Just one of those local paper snippets - James had been tweeting that he was stuck in the back of a white van with the Man Lab crew. They might well have been working, but they also found time for this.
