Someone should create a thread where everyone can list their ten favourite Manics songs.

Thank you.

I have no idea what has gone on in the past - and due to that post I think it's safe for me not to ask/go into it haha!

Indeed. Also it's good to see some new fan enthusiasm about the place

Woah. Just as I think I've seen every Manics picture under the sun, tumblr just throws up more for me to swoon over.
Might need to buy a memory stick specifically for Manics related stuff.

In other news, the more Sean pictures I see, the more I'm like

- I feel like I should be in the appreciation threads but I'm scared because I cringe at fanfic, no matter how good it is...

Knowing the Blackwood area as I do, I feel you're right there!

I've put it down to him not knowing real music if it hit him in the face

Your father sounds like Austin Powers.

I'm not sure if my father would like Manic Street Preachers either; I think he prefers Katherine Jenkins. He did used to sometimes wear a balaclava, though.
