I wonder if we'll ever see the pics they took of us...

At some point he also said that he knows that some fans complained about the book layout...you know, too much white space on the page and stuff like that.
how the fuck does he know? Should I expect a restraining order one of these days?

[yanushka]

Now, woman, tell us your impression of Nicky? What's he like?

[cricri]

It isn't safe for me around here anymore, I won't say a word

[slatex]

Last night was so good! The in conversation part was brilliant & filmed, so hopefully it will surface one day.. So many funny bits-

-How Richey used to carry a compass with him in a pencil case, and for the 1st NME cover photo shoot carved VIH due to looking in a mirror (Nicky also said "are we the only none playing guitar player & bass player to make an NME cover"
-Mark Beaumont & his reviews (0/10 Forever Delayed 9/10 Nicky:"what happened with him? Was SATT that GOOD?!!)
-Dorian Lynskeys looks of bemusement as Nicky called polaroid in the 1980's "A Porn Portal" and explaining that before internet sex tapes etc, celebrities were 'caught out' due to dodgy polaroids. Que mass giggles from all the audience, which Nicky kept playing on (saying 'not that I've got any of them..... Well, maybe a few.... Locked in my porn portal!')
-All the Sean stories (how he hid in the toilets at the Classic Rock Awards, and his dry wit!)

When I got my book signed, I mentioned how I put together the Springwatch montage & Nicky said "Keep up the good work" with a knowing smile

"How Richey used to carry a compass with him in a pencil case"

I carry a compass with me.

The fact that I am one step close in unintentional CoRness makes me happy beyond what is reasonable. I will be grinning for very many hours tonight.

So that's how he disappeared so easily! See if they'd taken the compass away from him he wouldn't have got away. (Not that kind of compass right?)

Come on we all know they check FD out. That's how he knows.

I just figured that it's probably a mathematical compass. That would make more sense. I am disappoint.

I will spend the rest of the night moping about the meaninglessness of human existence instead, to make do for carrying the wrong kind of compass.

I got carried away...

[Nature's Discontent]

Great pics Cri. I was expecting more of his crotch area though

[cricri]

Those pics belong to my private collection

[Nicola17]

Thanks for the photos. I don't mean to be difficult, but would it be possible to remove the photo of the queue of fans? As I know some of my friends aren't always entirely happy to have photos of themselves on the Internet and it's not like Nicky's in the photo.
