Wow...what a great week for everything Freddie.
I was glued to TV when those tw awards were announced.
Jamey...BRAVO DIVO!
I like the turn the blog has taken since the unsavory
have disappeared. The fact that so many people are sharing wonderful thoughts is exciting, and I’m so thrilled that I have a part in it. I love sharing these stories about Freddie because so many people never got to experience or know anything about this side of him.

Am I really boring? :-(
I never seen to get any replies or response on my admittedly few posts.
I can't think of any interesting questions that haven't been asked yet and don't want to ask really personal questions about Freddie.
Hope Bo Rhap and Rami do well at the Bafta's and Oscars, too.
Take Care, all.
Kind Regards

Have you all received your OIQFC Winter 2018 Magazine?
It's a good one.
There's a nice article on how Freddie acquired that Policeman's helmet at the Wembley 1986 concert, plus a contribution from a man who was a student of Brian's when he did a stint as a maths teacher.
And about Freddie's early days in England arriving from Zanzibar, including his citizenship application form,. I learned that it was Jer's sister who the Bulsara"s family stayed with when they first arrived before moving to 22 Gladstone Avenue.
It was an interesting read.

Dear FreddieDarling,
I certainly apologize if I, personally have missed any of your questions. I am really making a six to seven hour a day effort to find a publisher. It is time-consuming pursuit as almost every individual publisher or publishing company wants tweaking of our query and proposal to fit their requirements. (i.e. "no more than 100 words" here or" no less than 200 words" there. "submit in DocX only" or "submit in PDF only", etc. etc.
Please bear with me during this ramped up phase of making sure our book gets published and ASAP.

CONGRATULATIONS THREAD FOLLOWERS-
Exciting News for all of our QueenZone followers. The other day I discovered the list of the total number of replies to each individual thread.
If you don't know (which I didn't for the whole 19 months I've been on here), the following will get you there.
Click on "Talk" at the top of the screen where it lists Home-Band-Talk-Information-etc.
Then, click on "Forums"
Then, "Queen - GENERAL Discussions"
Well, I looked at the number of replies since I joined QZ on July 17th of 2017.
....and the Queen Zoney awards go to:
# of replies
(1) thundergod * GOLD * 2246
(2) thundergod and "Kathleen" *SILVER* 1743
(3) GoldenSalmon *BRONZE* 556
* HONORABLE MENTIONS*
(4) YourValentine 372
(5) Dysan 300
(6) Sparkle 296
***ALSO...if you come across some of our favorite troll's
names over these years, you will see that most of their attempts at "Hate Threads" are all totally wiped off the site!!! My own original thread went from 147 pages to 113 pages with a great deal of the troll input DELETED. Thank you, Mr. Richard Orchard, (CEO/General Manager of QueenZone.com).

FreddieDarling, you are not boring at all! I've meant to comment on several of your posts, but I just haven't gotten to it. Actually, your comments on the IQFC magazine interested me. Is it an actual print magazine or is it online? I don't belong to that group officially, though I do follow their FB page. I don't remember what the cost to join is, but I think I remember it was kind of steep for me at the time I checked it out. However, both of the articles you mentioned interest me so I might have to investigate again. I did see the video of The Queen's Guards playing Bohemian Rhapsody and thought it was great. Are you on FaceBook? Did you happen so see the Ohio State Band open the football season this fall with a tribute to Queen? If not, I'll find the video and post the link. I'm always delighted when anyone honors Queen and Freddie in any way.
Thor, I'm not at all surprised that you guys have the Gold award for posts. I think it is the atmosphere you've set here. It allows people to feel safe in what can sometimes be a very contentious place. (QZ) It has been so much fun to "meet" other fans from all over and share thoughts. But most of all, the generosity you and Lee have shown in sharing your dear friend has been something I would never have expected to find. I knew who both of you were before you even began your thread, and because of that, I felt both shy and kind of awed. I mean, here you were, THE NY Daughters. How lovely it has been to find you both to be real and genuine people.
Lee , I'm so glad the administrators finally stepped in and removed some of the posts. I've never understood people who need to be ugly just for the sake of hurting other people. I think we were very successful in our isolate and ignore campaigns, but it was still painful to read some of the things that were being said. Hopefully we won't have to do that again, but if we do, we know how to band together to shut them down.
Thanks to all who post here and share questions, information and feelings. Even when the board has periods of inactivity I check in every day just to make sure I don't miss anything.

I can't resist. It's a bit on the long side, but try to stick with it to the end. The Ohio State Marching Band is well known in the states and this tribute to Queen is fun.

I hope everyone got the joke that those awards were just made up by me in jest..... but the numbers are very accurate, the awards are not.
Maybe my fault for not being funnier than I thought.

I love all the links everyone shares. Thank you all so much. I love being shown new articles, videos, books etc about Freddie and Queen.
Thor and Lee,
Almost 4,000 posts on the combined threads. I think that is pretty darn AMAZING! It certainly reflects the fun atmosphere you guys have created...and I am so grateful. That so many people enjoy sharing and leaning about Freddie is testimony to what a rare and captivating person he was.
