Anyone who is planning on gettting a cuddle in Edinburgh now has their instructions. Videos of hugs need to be made.

I know, it's so mean. Queenie wants cuddles!

If we'd been any sorts of people who remembered at the time and who didn't find the idea a bit odd - we should've filmed one of us being cuddled by Tim, Jess could have put it up here cos she's clever like that and knows how to do it (as does PJ, according to Tim) and then been able to have a sensible blow-by-blow (erm.  oh god.) review of exactly at what moment people's knees gave way and you could've had visual proof of exactly how snuggly and squidgy and cuddly and cosy and *mmmmrahaahahaammmmyaaamm* that cuddle was.

Please note, the last noise was actually a technical term.

It would've been very academic, not remotely pervy and nobody would have said "EEEP!!" hysterically.

Ahem.

I think I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. I wanna Timbo cuddle! 

"Who the hell would want a cuddle off Brooke-Taylor?!!?"

Ermmm....  pretty much EVERYONE!!!!!!!

"But no cuddles, that's terrible! I want a cuddle! I MUST have a cuddle! I shall be unfulfilled! All my life I've dreamt of having a hug from the marvellous Brooke-Taylor!"

You'd think Tim would know better wouldn't you?

I think that moment was extraordinarily sweet.  I remember everyone made "oooh! handbag!!" sort of noises at Barry when he said that.  Tim made some sort of strange reply which I can't remember at all, sadly.

Tim was just leaning on the desk, sort of in a little world of his own, resting his head in his hands and then started chattering away nineteen to the dozen, and Barry goes "We are NOT at home to Mrs Hand Over the Mouth!"  Poor Tim.  I was still in Highly Maternal Mode over him as it was still Pre Cuddle, and I just wanted to go and rescue him and take him for hot chocolate and cakes to cheer him up.  "Nasty Barry Saying Nasty Things To Timbo... Awwww!!!"

How fantastic WOULD it have been though if Tim had done the high pitched crying when Barry said that?!  Wow.  I would have been SO impressed.

Not_A_Megalomaniac : ' You have NO idea how true that there avatar is.  One cuddle from Timbo and you're never the same again.  Take it from Formerly THE Most Maternal Person Over Tim EVER!!

Yes, I quite like my avvie too. Unfortunately I only have your word for it.    I'm looking forward to getting a cuddle of my own!

I've noticed Barry's hair seemed to go straight from pitch dark to white. Or at least that's what I can tell from the pics I've seen. Of course he's looking great for seventy-something.

Oh and I made some "healing hands" avatars too, which I may put up later on.

Barry does have pretty unique hair!  He was taller than I thought he would be!

I really wish I had something to contribute to this, but everyone seems to have covered it so well...

My Thick moment of the night was when the guys were coming out the stage door and I could see Barry's hair, so said 'ooh look, there's Barry', completely oblivious to the fact that Graeme and Tim are about two feet away from me.  Not that I've got anything against Barry, but you'd think, under the circumstances, that I'd bloody well notice Graeme first!

Tim singing Artic Monkeys was completely adorable.  Funnily enough, the next day when we went into the hotel breakfast room, the song playing on the radio was I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor
