Aaaaaaw! Would you have? :D Thankyou!

Aaaaaaw! We love you all the same James!

Cool so my mate did see James Dean Bradfield :) Sheffield United never play football home or away. Its always physical, direct and usually includes bullying tactics. The time wasting today from the start today was a complete joke. Sheffield Wednesday are a true footballing team. Hope you return to the Championship :)

Yes as I know how much James means to you :heart:

:D

got a little smile off nicky today when he saw my motorcycle emptiness t-shirt.
i was having a ciggie outside on lunch.
he bought a cd.

made my day!

That's pretty cool, Jack!

I've seen that shirt in pix here - I need to get one of those!

Nice one Jack! :D

which cd did he buy?

I'm mega jealous of your job.

For some reason I 'heard' that in the voice of Marion from Mongrels.

He was in the Canton?!?! Which bit?!! I shall have to keep my eye out at future home games

'Led away by a woman.' :lol: 'Hurry up James! Match starts in 5 mins!'

i wouldn't if i were you, i work in a bin with windows.

he bought an ariel pinks album, not sure which one, never heard of them/him.
im a bit freaked out that i prolly saw him shopping for tat for the new video/tour.
as squee as it is to see him wandering about it does take a bit of the myth away for me, know what i mean?
still, i see lostprophets about all the time and dont give a fuck but if i see a manic it pretty much writes off my day as i fan myself back to reality

Ah probably the new Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Before Today. I've already liked them, glad to know he's into that. :D

Not exactly news of the year, but James Dean Bradfield just walked past the Prince of Wales in Cardiff :p

Walked past it!!!! You should've gone in and had a pint James!

Amused that I specified 'James Dean Bradfield' as this is a manics forum after all!

wonder what that guy was on about then saying he was sat on a plane with them

was that a couple of days back though

To be fair he didn't see them on the plane, one of the toilets had a sign on the door saying "This toilet is reserved for use by the Manic Street Preachers, please respect that".

aye - and easyjet charge now don't forget ! :p

better to use easyjets than ryanairs, they want to remove one of the toilets and make them payable.

that must be what I was thinking of. As you were...

That funny as I was thinking about the Billy Bragg-private toilet incident earlier!

:lol:

Indeed! i love that pub. a bit tricky navigating the spiral staircase and walkways while drunk tho

Navigating Cardiff full stop can be tricky while drunk!

James obviously has it down to a fine art these days! :lol:

i saw james going into the sheperds bush empire in 2007. sorry for the lateness i've just really seen this thread.

Who was on at the time?

they were haha. it was during the day maybe about 10-11 in the morning

met Nicky wandering around near Oxford Circus yesterday.
had a quick chat.

he was very lovely.

If you happen to pass one of them in the street, what on earth do you say, "alright James, how's it going?".

I was considering that, do you ask if it's them despite knowing it is or go straight in with 'hey james', do you start talking or do you explain that you're a fan and introduce yourself. It's easier after gigs when they know why you're there.

In my head, I keep thinking I'd greet James with a "Hey Jimbo!", but I don't think he'd like being called that.

rah, i had an aceface morning!
a colleague spotted james wandering about so i waited around the tills for him;

me; can i trouble you for my annual autograph?!
jdb; *laughs* certainly
me; im surprised you didnt catch us playing it, we've had it on repeat all week, you're thrashing phil bloody collins!
jdb; *laughs* good! i do try not to go into record shops on week of release but i've been away doing promo and not been able to buy any bits for a while..
me; fair enough, thank you so much for that, really looking forward to the tour too.
jdb; oh yeah, you coming?
me; yes, doing a few dates, brum, bristol, newport, manc, maybe london etc.
jdb; oh i'll sort you guestlist for any of those. have you got tickets?
me; oh, thats really kind but you dont have to do that, i wasn't fishing for tickets.
jdb; its really no bother, newport ok?
me; well, YES PLEASE! shall i just write my name down or what?
jdb; hang on.. *rummages through pockets.....finds tatty old phone*...
me; *starts to spell name out*
jdb; *still pressing buttons and grumbling a bit* hang on, you'll have to give me a minute here, im no good with these things...... aaaarrrgghh...... for fuuuu... ah, got it. go on..
me; *spells out name while starting to shake a little* ok to get my wife in too? cant really leave her outside!
jdb; yup, i've put you +1. just go to the box office and give your name. hope you enjoy it. bye bye
me; of course i will! thank you so so much, thats really kind of you, you've made my day

he looked really good too, really healthy and a little bit of a tan.
dunno where he got that.
i was shaking so much he must've noticed. i usually just get a signature and say thanks but when he was fiddling with his phone it felt like an age and i became very aware of my legs turning to jelly.
what a bloody nice man

Tob bloke that Jimbo, enjoy your guestlist places!

Lucky Count!

Brilliant!

That's so kind of James. Why doesn't it surprise me that he has a really old phone? Enjoy your guestlist!

Aw how nice of Bradders

Haha that's a great little story mate :) I'd have died on the spot if I saw one of the Manics in person like that.
