That's me! (well, that's what it looks like - I was D12283)

Eheheh... :)
I see.
Well, congratulations! I wouldn't have the patience nor the breath to run a marathon... :p

Seconded, very well done!

I'd like to know which part of which track you were listening to at that exact moment, as you seem uniquely serene in that crowd.

Then again, JFPL does do that.

I mentioned this in the KYE anniversary thread but I'll mention it here too: KYE really does have the most beautiful and least dated design aesthetic of any of the album covers and interiors and eras*.

*With the obvious exceptions of THB and perhaps EMG.

The most dated is obviously GT.

I love the simpleness of the EMG and KYE designs

Manics with the Welsh Football Team today (please let this mean they've recorded the official Euro 2016 song)

That beard is immense

I've worked it out...
The picture was taken 18 minutes in, and I started the album just as I crossed the start line...

I was somewhere in the midst of "Facing Page: Top Left"

It could be a look at American bands only in Cuba, but this list from Rolling Stone about acts that played Cuba doesn't mention that band from Wales that played a gig there.
And yet they mention "The Dead Daisies" whoeverthefuckthey'resupposedtobe!

That's it. If it's not preferred in the USA, then it's forgotten from history...
I can immagine a couple centuries later, the Manics will be, just like Tesla, "the greatest forgotten Brittish rock band in history"...

I'm watching Sky News online and they keep saying the Stones are the first British band to ever play in Cuba. :eh: They talk like it's something that's never happened before. It's so annoying I'm this close to emailing Sky and correcting them but I guess it would be fruitless...

"So you hide all Lowry's paintings, for thirty years or more ..."

Brilliant. Never thought of it like that.

I haven't been on FD in a while, but this is exactly the reason I logged on today! Pretty sure the Beeb have let that phrase slip out once or twice too. Sad times.
