Manic beats the Phonic! Hurrah!

Not that it matters what size you are! It's what's inside that counts!

I've stood beside both James and Kelly (I didn't intend to stand next to Kelly but he was at the same exhibition) and i'd day that Kelly is an inch taller than James.

- 1985 as an opener in Wembley (2004) after an extreme trip to get into the arena on time
- The atmosphere in front when they played Sleepflower and Stay Beautiful in Reading in 2007
- Seeing them live in Lokeren (2009), about 15 minutes walk from the place where I was born, together with all my friends.
- Koln (2007) in a tiny venue, hearing PCP, Underdogs and YLAINE for the first time. And talking to Nicky and James after the gig in the beergarden.
- All those wonderful travels I've made with my friends to see the Manics.
- The books I've read, inspired by their lyrics.

I think I could go on and on

James Dean Bradfield signed my ticket in Dublin. And then they played Enola/Alone. I'll just take the whole of that night as my most memorable moment.

He is a slighter slimmer build though so could look taller, did he have his chelsea boots on though, they must give him an extra inch and a bit. He does insist he is 5ft 6 so that would be why he looked taller

everytime I meet them is the best time ever. probably those worth mentioning are the meetings after Heavenly gig in 2008 (James recognized me! and Nicky was drunk - bless) and perhaps the Leeds 2010 one, and definitely Hamburg 2011, when Nicky recognized me, it was like 12 people waiting for them, and they were there all for us. so sweet.

Remind me to go to a European gig next time in my attempts to speak to James!

We're fucking stupid really. We should've taken National Express to Liverpool and Blackburn instead of London and Glasgow.

Greatest moment for me probably has to be Leeds Fest 08' when I met them for the first time. Completely blew my mind, they were lovely.
