OBSESSION ORBIT
Are you STILL obsessed with Take That, even if it they are no more?? (Or so people say...)
Here are some ways you can find out if you’re still a THATTER at heart, or if your ego has
really gone solo. And take the "fan quiz"....if you dare....
"THE QUIZ"
WAYS TO TELL THAT YOU ARE STILL OBSESSED:
1. When you hear the words “Take That”, you instantly reply “and party!”
2. When somebody asks you how you like your tea, you begin repeating the words “One
honey and lemon!”...or you begin doing back-flips and yelling “I like it nice, with spice
and always twice!!”
3. When ever the sun is out, you make sure that you’re standing on something rather
tall, so that you can call out “It is sooo hot up here! We need somebody to come up here
and cool us down...any volunteers??”
4. If someone’s offering around chocolates, and asks you if you’d like one more, you yell
“No you can’t do one more!!!”
5. Everytime you’re holding an ice-cream you begin to tease anyone who’s misfortunate
enough to be near you by saying “I got an ice-cream, you haven’t got one!”....then...you
run on the spot, grab the ice-cream out of your hand, stomp on it, run away...then
laugh hysterically at yourself for a few minutes.
6. When your parents ask you not to forget something you immediately start humming
along to ‘Never Forget’ and clap your hands in time....which doesn’t impress the parents
if they’re in a hurry to get somewhere.
7. You hold hour-long conversations with your friends over the phone, perfecting your
english accent, so that Gary will believe that you’re really the electrician/girl guide/
gardener/ that you’re pretending to be.
8. The best way you know how to make up with a friend after a fight is by saying “You
know, when Mark asks me to marry him, I won’t say yes. I’ll let you have him, I
promise.”
9. The best reply your friend could give is “Thanks!! And I promise I’ll make him tell me
the other lads phone numbers, and give them to you.”
10. You seriously consider to take up jogging, just so that you can run past Jason’s place
each day and make sure he know’s that you take care of your body....then you stuff
yourself at Maccas, but don’t feel guilty, ‘cause you know that deep down Gary would be
proud.
11. Everytime you walk in to a room you face the back of the room and sing “All in all
you’re just a...nother brick in the wall” - - half the time, the wall’s made from wood...
12. You ring up a radio station and request “Pray” and get very angry when they ask
you who sings it. You get angrier still, when they say they don’t have it anymore...you
yell at them and abuse them, fight back the tears...then offer to tape it for them off one
of your fifteen copies, so that they’ll have it the next time you request it.
13. You keep a box tucked away in your cupboard, containing an empty deoderant
bottle, a lolly-pop wrapper and some grass and twigs...momentos of your last Take That
concert!
14. When you go hiking and reach a summit, you look over at the view and exclaim
“There’s a road going down the other side of this hill”...even if it’s the road you just
walked up.
15. Each time you sit down, you cross your legs once (the girly cross), then again (the
lads cross), then just leave them well open....afterall, Robbie knows best.
16. You purposely buy a female tortoise, so that you can name her Winston.
17. The only reason you ring up your grandmother is so you can say “Hello King Nan!!”
18. You almost pop a blood vessel if someone innocently asks “who’s Take That?”
19. You play the whole of the E C album through once, so that you can sing lead, then
play it all over again so that you can sing the back-up parts aswell.
20. When someone asks you which football team you support you instantly reply Port
Vale!! Even though you’ve never watched a game of football in your life.
21. Everytime you play the piano, you pretend you’re Gary Barlow and tell the fans to
light their candles.
22. Your boyfriend learns ‘Back For good’ on the guitar, just to get your attention.
23. You’ve already planned your funeral...and with all the Take That stuff you want in
your coffin, there’ll barely be enough room for you.
24. You go swimming at the beach and nearly have a heart attack when you realise that
Mark Owen might have bathed in the exact same water that you’re touching!!
25. You lie in bed at night, work out the time it must be in England and try to imagine
what each lad is eating for lunch.
26. When an old friend asks you if you still like Take That, you almost choke and correct
them by replacing “like” with “love”!!
27. When ‘Getaway” does a special on the UK you tape the entire program, just incase
Jason happens to be walking past in the background.
28. Your heart stops and you go all shaky when you pass a guy with dreadlocks.
29. You ask every English person you meet if they know Take That....if they say “yes”
you punch them for daring to tease you about such a serious matter!
30. You find yourself watching shows like ‘Art Attack’ and ‘Henry’s Cat’...incase of the
small possibility that Take That gets a mention.
31. when everyone else you know has taken down all their tt posters etc and packed them away(or even shock given them away) so they can put other stars posters up they like now,while you still insist on keeping the posters,calendars etc up of take that

up,you insist on sending them a card(even though you don`t have the address to which to send it, you still write one)

36: You still have parties to celebrate a certain Take That member`s b`day,a concert you went to or when tt split up etc and you decide to get everyone who is attending the party to dress up as their particular favourite member.

37: You're watching a Take That video(TT the party live at wembley)and Rob`s bit in APACHE begins. You run into your bedroom,
slip on a piece of paper and bump yourselfself on the edge of the TV set ('cause you're so excited..not because you're un-co!)
38: You then decide to watch Rob's bit in Apache AGAIN and are seriously surprised when you fall off your bed and hit your head on the TV...after all, it's been 5 minutes, how were you to know that Rob would still be so God damn gorgeous?!

cd`s,Robbie`s cd`s,Mark Owen cd`s and Gary Barlow cd`s in front of the
other cd`s in that particular section...and if you could get your hands on a Howard cd or a Jason one, you'd do the same for them, dammit!
46: You make all of your friends (who absolutely hate TT, sniff, sniff) call you Mrs. Williams! They hate it because
they know you won't answer them unless that's what they call you!
