Ricky De Marco and Fringe Chairs

Ricky De Marco is the man behind the Edinburgh Festival. He is one of the most optimistic and positive people we have ever met and he has inspired us to take our own show on tour! (Schools in particular contact us if you want us to visit you!).

Straight from the horses' mouth!

You may not have known that blue chairs are 'horse whisperers'. We have a tip for the Grand National from one in the know. He says it is going to be Clan Royal! Let's hope he is not a faller at 'the Chair'. (Of course the chairs are assuming everyone goes 'eachway' on a race where luck is also involved!).

A Blue Chair Valentine!

If you need a Valentine just remember.....

Roses are red, violets are blue.
We are blue chairs and we love you!

Jonathan Livingston Seagulls!

We are Brighton fans at heart which means we are close to understanding the true meaning of suffering, (at least in terms of football)! But at least when we win it really makes a difference to life; its not just another three points -it's three points! Yet it is only football, there is no need to jump off the pier; not until the fat bloke in the middle blows the final whistle on the final day of the season. So if you are in a battle keep going, you never know when you might win!

The Chair Necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife!

Cafe Bleu!

We always stand out in a crowd. Dare to be different!

Blue Chairs on Horseback.

Sometimes its nice to sit on rather than be sat on!

Lucky we can read!

Having finally been allowed to tread the boards of Brighton pier we indulged in a spot of bravado. We know how dangerous it is to jump into the sea. Some of our 'evolutionary relatives' are on display in various museums having hurled themselves off the Titanic and other such 'holey ships' (as batman would say). Not that chairs are stupid -its just that there wasn't enough room in the lifeboats and chairs are by nature less grabbing than humans, (and we can survive longer in the water).

King Size Bite!

Whilst I had my back to King Kong it looked like he was contemplating a blue chair snack or some other form of serious monkey business! I hope none of you find this photo too distressing, you can tell those close to the action were a bit concerned for my safety! My friend was buying some varnish at the time and had not been eaten as was rumoured at the time.

BLUE CHAIRS TALK THEIR WAY OUT OF TROUBLE

You might think we were in trouble here but actually traffic wardens are very nice people and just frequently misunderstood. We have heard they are going to be replaced by cameras and other inanimate beings in the future with whom there will be no argument. So our advice is enjoy your chance to plead and take out your frustrations on them while you still can!

We Travel in Style!

It is not all 5* luxury on the road but at least its a lift. We have found that many motorists are very unsympathetic to hitching blue chairs and need blue chair empathy lessons. How would you like to be left out in the cold? No wonder we're blue!

'The Long and Winding Road'

The road comes to an end just over the brow of this hill.....or does it lead to your door? Watch out there are blue chairs about!

Blue Chairs like Shopping.

Blue Chairs enjoy shopping and are very generous to each other especially at Christmas.

Blue Chairs with Ian Bell and a mystery guest!

Ian Bell (cultured England batsman) with Giles Bell (agricultured Shropshire Gentlemen batsman) and us again. You can probably tell from our expressions that we were getting pretty fed up with all these cricketers wanting their photos taken with us at one of our many social functions.

Blue Chairs at YARLET SCHOOL

We had a great day with the Shrewsbury Under 14C team at Yarlet school. A big thank you to the team as no other school team would allow us to be part of their squad! We played pretty well and made a big difference to the result, (it was 1-1 when the coach made a double substitution and we ended up losing 5-1)! That left us feeling a bit blue!

Blue Chairs at ASHDOWN HOUSE SCHOOL

Our friends at Ashdown House were just great! Gina and her friends showed us round their lovely school and we are definitely going to return after our adventures come to an end. Their dorm was a lot more fun than our maths classroom ever was or will be!

Blue Chairs with PACKWOOD and PRESTFELDE SCHOOLS 1st XI

Both teams were honoured to be photographed with us and put on an excellent display of footballing genius purely for our enjoyment. Thanks guys!

Blue Chairs with JOHN CHALLIS and BILLY PEARCE

Having met John Challis and Billy Pearce we are determined to enter the world of 'Panto' next year. We would like theatre impressarios to contact us if they are after a more attractive portrayal of the ugly sisters in Cinderella, we would guarantee bums on seats, we always do!

Blue Chairs with NICK HANCOCK

Nick got quite cuddly but then he is! He is a very well educated and charming gentlemen or at least he was when he left Shrewsbury!

Blue Chairs with FREDDIE FLINTOFF and MARCUS TRESCOTHICK

Blue Chairs love cricket and we were delighted to find out that we have so much in common with some of the England cricketers. We look good in blue, stand still when facing the bowler, can't catch and despite having four legs Shane Warne can still bowl us round them!

Blue Chairs with 'MAGIC' MATT LIM

Magic Matt is an up and coming magician and can be booked for parties if you contact us and invite us and our friends too!. He has raised over £200 for our two charities and is planning another 'chairity' show soon. We love Matt he is a true blue friend!
