Countdown to Cabin Pressure!

Basically what it says on the tin. Quite enigmatic, though.

ABOUT 278 DAYS ‘TIL ZURICH

It’s #Knapp Shappey Saturday, fandot! Tag your Alpha Dog Appreciation to join in the fun! 

{scarves 1, 2, 3, 4}

#i had the same idea :(  ~johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme

wait no you should still do it! your passport edits are flawless, I’m sure if you did scarves it would be better than this mainly chocolatey thing! 

[johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme]

I’m going to marry you. Thank you so much! It would be hard to beat your edit though :) I want all those scarves I had the idea of giving her differently coloured scarves but then I figured she’d never care what colour it was, so I wanted Arthur to try on some and ask her which she’d prefer but of course, she wouldn’t care. So my idea is definitely more boring than your brilliant ones!

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Done. We are married. Good.

Aw but that would be so cute too! #Team Scarfthur! xD

[johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme]

That was one fast wedding. *throws some confetti*

I might still do it….

[cabinpressurecountdown]

To misquote the lady of the hour, us getting married was like other people wanting to sneeze.

COMMEMORATIVE REBLOG. Farewell, my dearest tumblr spouse. @johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme

[spacecoyote]

wait wait what happened to @johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme I am really confused?? ???

[johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme]

I thought I’d quietly slip away but I should’ve made a post to explain!

I’m quitting Tumblr. I’m afraid I no longer have the time or money to keep this blog running (I’m trying to switch jobs at the moment, and move places)

I’m really very sorry to leave the fandom and all of you! Thank you all for the amazing years I’ve had on here, I’ll miss everyone so much!

I won’t delete the blog in case the archives can be of some use to others.

I hope you all have so much fun and keep going forever!

*hugs*

[ineffably-abi]

Thank you @johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme for all your work in this fandom! Your blog is invaluable to any JF fan! Thank you keeping it open as well so we can all still benefit from it. Best of luck for the future! :)

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Ahhhhhh, @johnfinnemoressouvenirprogramme ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Though it’s been an age since I actually talked to you, I remember with great fondness our marriage on a post about Carolyn’s scarves.♥ This url rises from the ashes once more to say farewell to you (mostly ‘cuz you probably wouldn’t recognise my personal anymore xD) May it go well with you - may all manner of things go well. *wipes tear* ♥

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Yellow Car!

There were 15! That makes @kestrel337's guess of 14 the closest. Congratulations! If you could just drop an address in my inbox then I will send your postcard soon enough :D

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Finally breaking my duck when it comes to Bristol. We're on (one of) the lovely suspension bridge(s). Brilliant!

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Now the question is, do I count this one? It's yellow....it's a car.....it's not a taxi....

[cabinpressurecountdown]

YELLOW CAR!

I’m driving - well, all right, “being driven” - to Wales tomorrow morning, so please reblog with a guess of how many yellow cars I’ll see on the way…as with last time, nearest answer gets a Cabin Pressure postcard!

The journey will take 3-4 hours, daytime traffic. Action and also go!

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Correction, apparently more like 5-6 hours. Still open for guessing until we arrive! 🚕🚕🚕

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Exploiting the fact that I have more Cabin Pressure followers on here, again...

Is anybody going to Souvenir Cabin tonight that I can high five, or wave at from a distance, or sing a duet with? Or other interaction of your choice?

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Hi! I love your poems for each episode. Do you have ones for the episodes from Paris to Yverdon-le-Bains? If so, where could I find them?

Hello! So sorry that I didn’t get back to this a lot sooner.

I actually stopped at Ottery, for…some reason. I suspect it was my natural inclination to drop anything that doesn’t come ridiculously easy immediately. However, who knows… One day I might get bitten by the poetry bug and post some more here, or on my personal blog wellamarke… There’s no telling.

Thank you so much for being interested though! I’ll post this just in case anyone else has wondered about the poems (oh, how I flatter myself!)

Stay brilliant! 😘😘xx

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Hellos will be exchanged!

Hi chaps. On Saturday 14th March I'm huuuuuugely excited to be attending the Corpus Playroom production of Cabin Pressure (there are still a few tickets for the Saturday matinee left, go go go!!!) which John Finnemore tweeted about the other day. If that's something you are also doing, then we should totally meet in the interval (if there is one!) and bond over our shared tumblr heritage!! Yeah!! 

I'll almost certainly be wearing a sky blue hoodie and a grey shirt with 'Keep Calm And Call Douglas" on it, because that's the kind of loser I am. Also I have kinda dorky bright blue glasses and will probably be holding hands with a four-year-old (the artist who brought you this and this). 

Hope to see some of you there :) 

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Go on then.... Round 2....

The journey back will be just as long as the journey to our holiday house, just much much less exciting. So I might as well postcard another person!

Send in your best guesses for the amount of yellow cars we see on our 5.5 hour journey. For reference, we saw exactly 40 when we made the reverse journey a week ago.

I’ll leave this open ‘til 7:00am GMT tomorrow (22nd February)… After that, the closest guess wins a postcard!

Good luck, chaps! :D

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Hmmm. This is going to look suspiciously un-genuine, but I assure you, if I was going to make up a result, I wouldn't go for exactly 40 again! By some fluke we did indeed see exactly the same amount of yellow cars on the way back as on the way there, making laimelde's guess of 41 the closest! Might I have an address in my ask box, pretty please?

Since I never finished that giveaway...

Hello chaps. I’m going on holiday today. I’ll send a postcard to the person who guesses closest to the number of yellow cars I see on the journey?

We’re talking five and a half hours in a Cornwall-ward direction. Morning/lunchtime traffic. Give it your best shot.

[biancaicaras]

Obvious. The answer is always 42.

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Said with eerie confidence, biancaicaras. We saw a nice round 40, making you the closest by a margin of 14! Well done. If I could have an address in my ask box, please...

[cabinpressurecountdown]

Sadly, the throne of Liechtenstein is occupied by one younger and more forceful than I. Just yellow cars for peasants like me... lions-tigers-benedict

The journey's over but I'll keep this open til 7am GMT tomorrow to encompass all time zones!

The International Travelling Lemon Game

So fandot… I have an idea. 

As you may have already guessed, this idea involves a lemon. 

Well, a picture of a lemon. It might get messy if we tried it with an actual lemon, unfortunately. International post will do that to unprotected fruit.

It boils down to this:

I get a card printed with a lemon on the front of it. I will include instructions in the card, and I will write my (approximate) location on it - I will not include my name or details of my address - just the country and maybe the area (county, state, city, etc.).

I will then post the card to someone else. This person adds their own location - again, no name and no specifics, you can be as vague as you like. (You can also add a personal message if you want, but it’s not a requirement!)

This person may, if they wish, take photographs and post them on here (or to the Facebook group or Twitter profile I may make if this goes ahead) so we can all see the lemon’s progress.

The person now posts the lemon on to someone else, who writes down their location…

You get the picture. 

If you received the card but had no one to send it on to, I would hopefully be able to act as mediator to match you up with someone else willing to pass on their address. No one will be pressured into giving away any details they do not wish to, to anyone, including me.

I think it would be amazing to see how far we could get it, just by posting it to fellow fans around the world.

At the moment I’m just trying to gauge interest to see if it’s worth trying; this is still very much in the draft stages… so who’s with me? Please like/reblog this post/send me a message to let me know!

Feel free to ask me any questions, if you have them - my inbox is always open.

Reblogging this to here since it sounds BRILLIANT and this blog has a lot more CP-followers than my personal :-)
