Should we be concerned ?

[Dave M]

Jem's last Twitter post is a bit of a worry ... especially given it was some time ago and he's been very quiet since .. does anyone know ... Is the Captain of the goodship Frost* ok ?

[Pedro]

Deja Vu on this post, I'm sure I replied to one like this today...

I think/hope it is just the sort of work/life recalibration that a) happens from time-to-time and b) you might expect after Satch week and in the light of enormous work-load.

[E.S.]

Some well-deserved time away from the web, I think. He was on the forum a few days ago, wasn't he?

[Ash]

It is very important that Jem is locked away until December.  He must not be able to be near baseball bats or cheese graters or indeed anything that may spoil the month of Frost*.

[Mouse]

He'll be confined to one locked room, then?    I'm sure he's fine. No news is good news and all that.

[Jem]

Thanks for your concern you lovely chaps, t'was a confluence of bad stuff that happened to arrive one after the other in the space of about 48 hours. It made me very cross so I grabbed hold of bad luck, wrestled it to the ground and beat the shit out of it.

And I did win.  

And I have backed off from the internet though which will be ongoing. During the battle I did look at my life and decided to make some "adjustments".  

[Pedro]

Thank goodness this isn't the internet then.

Hurray!  We do get in a tiz when it goes all quiet don't we?   :roll:

You should see what happens over on the IB forum..................................

At least we have some other things to get on with whilst the boss is away

Didn't it go quiet for about 19 years though  

Chist - I might even be forced to watch an episode (are they called episodes) of the X-Factor if Frost vanished for that long!

Well yeah, technically. It's kicked off recently though due to the lack of activity/updates etc, every so often someone starts up a 'what's going on' thread and much wild speculation ensues about the state of the band.
REALLY hope that that doesn't happen over here, and that everyone accepts that even Prog God(frey)s have to pay the mortgage, and might not update the web/twitter etc every 30 seconds. I think Jem realises that a lot of the goodwill he's built up stems from these very pages and therefore I would hope it continues, even if it is on a less frequent basis.

You can use the excuse that you're looking to see if Jem ever got the gig in the end credits :lol:

[Againesis]

I don't need an excuse - I'd need a lobotomy! :roll:

One of my best mates got into the finals two years ago...and even then I'd only watch it on the Sky plus so I could fast forward through all the dross.

[Pedro]

The difference with Frost* and the Frost*ies is (I think/hope) that no-one here thinks (or claims) that they know better what Jem should be doing next.
Baying for another tour now, another album now, declaring that it's "obviously" all over or saying it's time for so-and-so to leave  etc. etc. simply helps no-one.
I'd be lying if I said I'm not sad to hear there'll be less of the recent brilliant Internet Jemnastics, but we have to remember that this is a hobby. Anything we get is a blessing.

[AndreasK]

Well, I think Jem being such a down to earth guy makes it a lot easier for his fans to accept that he's a human being who has a life other than entertaining us. Also, speaking for myself here but there are enough musical layers to the Frost* cake to tide me over for at least another year, so I'm in no rush to start trying to absorb yet another set of new material.
