Tonight at 9.30 I shall be taking myself off to a private place to revisit my liking for Orange.

Is it me or is Howard Donald quite sexy these days?

I'm taping it. Did like a bit of Take That. But don't the 2 you mentioned look like they've aged the worst?

Which one of those 2 is gay? I'm sure I read that somewhere. I think it's Jason.

It was rumoured that Jason was gay, I believe. He's the only one who doesn't have kids (not that that means anything), but he did have a thing with Lulu. Maybe he's bi. Don't care. He did it for me in their hey-day and I'm clinging to that.

He and Howard had the best bodies and were the best dancers. Howard seems to have grown into his face somehow. I think Jason probably has aged the worst, but I shall be watching very, very closely through my rose-tinted spectacles.

10.33pm. I'm very, very happy.

I think I'm in love with Howard Donald! :surrender:

I ADORE Take That and I am not ashamed to admit it! To heck with waiting for Santa to bring their new CD I am buying it tomorrow!

D'you know, it may be my sentimentality talking, but I think I'd even give Gary Barlow one.

If it wasn't for Gary Barlow, I would never had met my husband! Now, I have to think was that a good thing or a bad thing!! :ninja:

No I agree. Id definitely give Gary and Jason one ! :thumbsup: I think Mark Owen has aged badly though.

Take That are all the better for the absence of the lantern jawed, immature, insensitive, pompous, arrogant gittish chimp that is Robbie.

I thought that, too Pan. They are more than solid as a foursome.

I've just caught the end of their concert on ITV2. Dancing in the fake rain to "Could it be Magic".

**** me. :blink:

*passes Patsy a Tena Lady.....*

MrPan is laughing here as I went all open mouthed and sweaty of hand.... :shocking: :w00t:

I watched about 2 minutes of it, thought, ew, don't they look old and sweaty, and switched it off :ninja:

Hey leave Robbie alone.

Tbh he was too young in the band in the first place and needed to have been given more rules or for someone to actually talk to him not have the group gang up on him!

I know most of you are now going to attack me online but I dont think they should have come back together from what I can see its all in persuit of money and to show Robbie how well they can do without him, yet when they spilt they did so imo because Robbie wasn't there!
I was a fan of them when they were together but now I do just think they're all running short on mulah!

If I'm completely up the wrong tree tell me!

I know what you mean, Spuddly, but I actually think the opposite. I don't think they split because Robbie wasn't there anymore. I think the band had actually run its course and Robbie leaving was a catalyst to the final split.

I was thinking about this last night and even though I like Robbie and admit to thinking that the band wasn't the same without him, I would rather go and see Take That than Robbie now.

I agree that he was too young and had to leave to be able to grow. As for chasing the dollar, are you telling me that Robbie does it just for the love of it? They came across to me as four guys who had had the success and whose lives had moved on. They had remained friends and, for whatever reason and yes money was undoubtedly one of them, thought they would give it another go. They seem very comfortable in their own skins, which is more than I would say for Robbie.

Watche dthis today. Howard and Jason are ugly *******s, but I would give Gary Barlow the pleasure of my company:w00t:

Thought they looked and sounded ok, but I have to say they should ditch the dance moves, they just look wrong doing headspins at their age, and Gary looked wrong doing it at any age god bless him.

But they have had time to get comfy in their skins! Maybe Robbie should take some time away. But like you say he's in it for the money too eg being his new Rudebox single. He's not going anywhere until the label drops him!

Couldn't agree more, Buzz. Maybe it's what people expect of Take That but they looked a little ridiculous to me.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this programme. Even my husband thought it was good. Although I did think the spoken bits were a tad unnatural and they just looked uncomfortable.

Peter Kay was hilarious as always.

I have always been a TT fan, and in the distant past, when me and my flatmate used to get home after being at a rave, we would put the Take That and Party video on and have a good old perv :naughty:

And I am still torn between Howard and Jason, who are both looking mighty fine now......

Howard half nekked on the beach in the old videos do more for me than any porn movie would......:angel_not

I loved this show. I thought it was fabulous.

And i liked the dodgy dancing. They always danced on their shows, so i would of been dissapointed if they hadnt.

It was great .... just a shame about the lame 'celeb' questions.

I think Mark Owen has aged badly though..


Yes, what has happened to his elfin face? He still looked young on Celeb BB but seems to have got all puffy and jowelly. Shame as I always liked Marc and wish him well but he didnt seem to get much out of his Celeb BB Winning.

I loved this, but they are not the same without Robbie, Take That is not Take That without him.


I went to one of their concerts in the summer at Milton Keynes and they were fabulous. Great concert almost as good as Robbie's but not quite!


None of them have aged well and the only one I would give the time of the day to would be Mark, imo none of the others have any sex appeal at all.

I watched Take That For The Record again last night and I just wonder what Robbie's take would be on everything now. He recorded his "I am bigger than you lot" speech when the other band members were going no where, and now that they have they are back on top with their single & album and looks as if they might be sticking around, I just wonder what he would say now.

I mean he said as the end that he would want to swap places with Gary and we all knew that it was a pile of crap, he wouldn't give up his lifestyle as really it is all he has but I bet he would love what Gary has now - Gary and the others have their music career back on track but they also all have a fairly normal family life with partners & kids.

Seeing the footage of their early days, Robbie was the joker and to a certain extent he still he and for that reason alone Take That are better without him, they are much better as a four-piece. Robbie is fantastic on stage, he is a born entertainer but he is very insecure and all is bravado is just a big front.

That said I do think it would great to see them together and to see him swallow his pride, even if it was just for one single and not forever as it just wouldn't work. He is too much of a star in his own right to be back in the band.
