Thank you for posting this lovely, marabou fluffy thread. Nobu's reaction to Ballade, that's how family feel about their loved ones when they have done amazingly well and everyone's been anxious with worry hoping that all the hard work will come together when it matters most

So heartening to hear from Yuzu himself that he is feeling confident about his skating abilities. Glad that he is ignoring the nonsense along the lines of being the "only active skater whose abilities are deteriorating", it was nonsensical and made up and it's good that Yuzu does not believe that ridiculous set of narratives. Yuzu speaks the truth and the viewers can see it when he performs

That is taking a risk on a school day. There will be one queue outside the first aid room later and another queue outside of this physics classroom to view "this impressive man"

A fitting thread for the Ice Emperor

That's amusing Yuzu, Keiiji and cardboard Keiiji, shame they couldn't find the cardboard Yuzu that was used for the announcement of the Olympic team before the PC Olys

Hi Yuzuwinnie "Big Bang Theory" is a comedy series, about a group of friends who are Physicists and Scientists. Dr Sheldon Cooper is a physicist and his girlfriend Dr Amy Ferrer Fowler is a Neurobiologist, they are super intellectual, in the series they make a documentary series called 'Fun with Flags' £80 is about 80-85 Euros, the hotel price went up within a 5h period, following the announcement about Sheffield The street that Yuzu ( plus luggage ) was photo shopped into, looked like some of the streets from the long running British series 'Coronation Street'. The pub featured in Coronation St is called the Rovers Return, so it appeared that Yuzu was going to head there for a pint and a packet of crisps. What flavour do you think Yuzu might like? Cheese and Onion or Salt and Vinegar? or even Roast Chicken? Maybe he doesn't like crisps and is a Roasted Peanut kind of guy

Thank you sharing this. People often say that music is a gift to mankind, that it is one of the universal languages and that music has the power to heal. I hope that people can have fond memories of this beautiful gesture in memory of those who lost their lives or have suffered due to the Great Eastern Earthquake and also of the person who performed this gorgeous work of music

The field looks incredible. The efforts will not be in vain It is really lovely that Sendai is very proud of Yuzu

I think Yuzu must have a costume room, bit like the robe room in the Royal Palaces. Satomi Ito probably has people checking the crystals and trimmings and seams etc. Just imagine worry wart Piglet, cleaning, checking and mending. " Oh my, oh my " When his work is finished for the day, he would snuggle up with tea and biscuits in one corner of the room, just to sit and admire the costumes. Pooh san would not be allowed in- sticky honey paws

Hockey vz Yuzu, hmmm I saw on the event schedule for the arena that there is season ticket hockey event. Does hockey fill a big arena for a regular season match? It's not a Quarter, Semi or Final game People love money, and UK's inaugural GP event would be a showcase event or do you think that they are preparing along the line of a British skating event. Almost inconceivable that BIS are not aware of the possibility of huge numbers wanting to attend, just in case a certain super star is competing.

Honey on toast for Pooh san

Yay, we can have breakfast together, and with the various Pooh sans of course The Poohs that I ordered all arrived yesterday Hehe. Your friend might think it a little cheeky if you stay with her and then go out to spend all day with Yuzu

Is that perhaps the VIP Platinum Plus all event pass for GP Final?

I've booked hotel next door to Ice Sheffield. Prices have increased from price quoted at lunchtime today, now £80 more for 3 night stay, at supper time. That photoshopped pic of Yuzu in the Sheffield street has unleashed Hanyuconomy on Britain

That's so funny. Yuzu looks as if he is about to check into a little B&B, maybe go for a quick pint first.

I think Dr Sheldon Cooper talked about this in his series 'Fun with Flags', Dr Amy Ferrer Fowler even holds up one of the flags

And Yuzu would be conveniently close to ISU in case they have an emergency that only the Ice Emperor can fix

That's true. I saw a Pooh for sale on eBay uk, size is listed as XXXL, 1m tall!

So does the Emperor and the ice crackles in reply

There is only one rink in Sheffield, it is called Ice Sheffield GP event is not listed as yet https://www.sheffieldcitytrust.org/leisure/ice-skating?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlK-WBhDjARIsAO2sErTOGCwbuYvbFgyS46IDakjAvpumM4L6V00hG7DOZjNjVtHtHaefJ8YaAlk

Meanwhile in Ice Castle Sendai, Ice Emperor Yuzu is sitting on the Throne of Blades, stroking Hissing Pooh and watching the Delegation if Incompetents and Accountants pleading for his benisons, except that he is not really listening because Yuzu is wearing earbuds turned up to volume eleven ( from This is Spinal Tap!). Nessie flexes her claws and licks her teeth, who will be fed to her first? President, VP, Chair, Judge, eeny, meeny, miney, mo... yum

Hull Philharmonic Orchestra played at Buxton Festival. Used to play with that orchestra when I was in sixth form

@Whoopiewoop @Pammi Will go to Sheffield if Yuzu competing. I live near London. Grew up outside Hull, skated couple of times at Ice Sheffield in my teens.

Well, if Sheffield has been moved on the ISU map from Yorkshire to Egypt, anything is possible in the land of make believe. The GP event location must have been a leak. Not sure if I can go to Finland. Just hoping for Sheffield and GPFinal in Turin. Very fortunate European satellites if Yuzu goes to 3 European events. Timezone wise, Yuzu could find a base in Europe, Finland possibly, 3h flight with minimal jet lag to UK. Skate at GP Sheffield, back to Helsinki. Skate at GP Helsinki, stay there until GP Final, fly to Turin 4h flight, no jet lag. Only problems, ice rink time, COVID and health insurance. Yuzu is sensible enough to manage suitable physical measures to reduce risk of contracting COVID, between ANA and Yuzu, they must be able to afford health insurance, this must be the case for any internationally competing athlete. There must be possibilities for Yuzu to find a suitable rink and avoid crazy travel schedule. Maybe he could appeal to Stephane and hang out in Champery whilst awaiting comps

Just had a peep at the ISU website. Navigated to the GP page and the Sheffield section, clicked on the map - hahaha the location of Sheffield has moved to the middle of the desert just south west of Cairo
