Thanks for that, I'll be never ever able to use any of those words again!! This has turned me into a bad person. One apple a day, keeps the good inside you away...

I missed downloading this, but it went really well. I got the DJ to play the full version of Snow and the full version of Surface to Air, and he used parts of your track for a really nice transition. He did a great job, as he did it live as it played and I was pretty amazed. I am just sad that it wasn't recorded.

No clown makeup, that would have really freaked out the relatives

Well it all went off pretty well. Glenda and I had a ball. I got a bit of a preview of the video, and I look like a total goose, but it's cool, I get an HD version soon to share. Pretty thrilled that there were people on the dance floor all night. Highlights of the night:-

• Forgetting to take the rings and only realising it half way through the ceremony.
• The manager asking me to turn down the music because there were complaints from the 5star fine dining restaurant at the other end of the resort as the cutlery on all of the tables was rattling.
• Half way through the last track, TPPR, my older brother who is a massive The Who fan, rushing up and saying, "OMG who is this, I love it!" and I just smiled. Which he knew meant it was the Chems, "Now I get it" he said.
• I rented a massive house with a pool for a two day after party, about 4 hours into that I got a Tweet of congratulations from Eddy, which got a massive cheer from everyone in the place, and then a few hours after that I got a tweet of congratulation from Tom which just made the whole night perfect.
• And when I went down the next morning to meet some people for breakfast, they travelled a long way and stayed in the hotel. My aunty who would be in her 80's looked at me and said "The Chemical Brothers, I hear no music in that".

What a fuckin dag I am ... but anyway here you go.

I mean this in the nicest way possible. Congrats on the party! And the T&E callouts!

Haha .. thanks Whitenoise, I love it. In my head I'm a really good dancer ... lol. Oh well, I said I'd put it out there regardless of the consequences. Now we can let this post fade into the archives please.

Thanks Pum, my wife was crying with laughter over that.

Hahaha, that is... awkwardly awesome! I believe you defined a whole new dance genre I like the way the video is shot.

Is your wife into chems music as well?

Will you do another clip 25 years further down the road?

Whoa! That's a statement vid right there! Showing the family and friends that your running this show chems style is impressive.
And I also see potential gif's in that vid!

BIG SCORE!

That's like extra icing on the anniversary cake. Brilliant for them for doing that! And It ensures me that they still lurk these pages from time to time!

All in all, Im very happy for you and Glenda!

Now let's shoot for 50!

Yes, not quite as obsessed as me, but loves the music, and has a bit of a crush on Ed.

Party - yes, clip - no. It was a lot of fun though. We laughed so much practising to do it, and it was all cool up until about 10 seconds before when Glenda walked in and the look on her face, she was about to lose it, and I got a massive rush of whatever it is that makes you panic, and you can see the result

Noooo, please no gif's.

I did send a tweet out to them a bit earlier telling them what we were doing. I was hoping for a retweet, thought if we are really lucky Eddy might tweet something back, but to get something from both got the whole party house cheering and totally made the night. A big thanks to Tom and Ed.

The 50th will be streamed live from the old folks home, dancing with walking frames

Where's the slap button when you need one

Sorry, I just couldn't watch the video! I clicked on it but bottled it!

I *heart* this thread.

Happy Anniversary, once again Krisper! It seems like a great time was had by all, especially the two of you. You and your wife are just the cutest!

No no no ... this thread must slip into the archives

It's cute how you think this forum is in the business of archiving.

Market research for the chems.

How did I miss this thread? I was in forum land last night and low and behold here it is hitting close to 40 posts already! That deserves another award! Congrats Krisp. I love how you admitted you were a hippy, fits quite well why you like the chems with the whole psychedelia roots of the chems too.

Well once it gets about 100 pages in it's almost an archive. But then there's always that search feature to dig up the old threads, so yeah I'm kidding myself .
