Probably to go and see his dad in Blackwood i should imagine.

Weirdly after seeing Nicky yesterday, have now seen James again! Have just got back from a cinema screening of 'Upside Down: The Creation Records Story' that also had a Q&A with Alan McGee, and Jimbo was there with Wayne Murray! He disappeared just before the end, probably to avoid any unwanted attention, leaving Wayne and another fella he was with to prop up the bar.

No passing mention of the Manics in the film by the way, though it was funny watching all the stuff about MBV and (briefly) Slowdive, thinking back to all those classic quotes from the days when they had to pretend to hate everyone.

Wayne tweeted the other day that he was off to Cardiff for rehearsals :)

My friend lives in Cardiff with her boyfriend, who works at an Apple store in Cardiff and says he met Nicky a day or two ago! Apparently the other two Manics come in there because they all have Macbooks now. I haven't laughed so hard in months as I just did imagining James and Nicky trying to use Macbooks. I told my friend that I expected her boyfriend to see them a lot more as they come into the store with tons of questions for the staff! :lol:

there's a pic floating about of James looking at a macbook screen with a puzzled look on his face :D I predict lots of *but they've always said they don't use computers!* posts for the next 3 pages :p

Found the pic of James Mac Laptop.

Oh god, tell him to expect weekly Genius Bar appointments from them XD

James will be monitoring me now and requesting all my threads get deleted. :(






(Don't hit me JDB! *ducks*)

Well it's further proof that they are recording for the new album. Probably demoing separately and sending parts to each other maybe.

I've seen James a few times at the rugby and at a Radiohead gig. Many years ago he stood on my sisters foot in a shop, she hasn't washed it since.:lol:

Angry Birds is now on facebook and the band have all bought Macbooks. go figure.

How does that prove that in any way?

Aye, can't imagine Sean would be pleased with James phoning him every 10 mins to ask how to work it! :lol:

I'm a little disappointed in Sean using Macs, hoped he'd be a firm mac-hater :P

Sean tells him about the Genius Bar, he and Nicky are there weekly LOL

Is Temple Run available?

Haha, why? It's ok, he hates everything else anyway. ;)

haha yeah, I would've had him down for a PC person - but then again he's a gadget fiend and therefore likely to buy Apple stuff 'cause he can't resist the shiny.

I've seen James twice. Once was at the Renoir Cinema in London - he was sitting in front of me. And then there was the time that he was coming out of the front door of the building I was going into - pure fluke that my Spanish teacher lived in the same building as him! "Shut the door behind you" he said rather testily. His phone bill was on the table in the communal hall - resisted the temptation to put it in my pocket...

During my internet browsings the other day I spotted someone saying that James had stepped on someone's partners foot during a Rammstein gig!

Ha! Ha! Doesn't pull any punches does our James! :D

Ha, why would he say that testily? I thought he's a meganicesweet guy! :)
Ahhh, I'd do the chav behavior, just because! :P

My friend from uni said she saw James, wife and baby in Cafe Nero in Cardiff last week, she said they looked 'very cute' together :D

I heard that they considered Costa and Cafe Rouge, but he was holding out for a Nero.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! Bless! :heart: She didn't catch a name perchance? :whistle:

(Don't hit me James!)

Awwwww! :heart:

:lol:

Dark Chocolate Mocha with whipped cream.....oh you mean the baby! :P

:p :lol:

She didn't mention if it was a girl or boy sadly, I think she just saw the pram :( I'll ask her if she sees them again because she's always in coffee shops!

james and nicky have both been in my shop in the last week.
not seen them myself unfortunately but my pal who did speak to them said they both told him they were demoing new material and excited about touring overseas.

We know it's a girl, someone found out that info. But no idea what her name is yet! :(

Cool! :D

Just wondering why people are so keen to know this?

The fanfics. It's all about the fanfics. Gotcha James, damn straight you use the internet.

We just want to know if she's called Nichola or not.

Not worth a thread on it's own (Uhhh, I'm really getting old) but I wonder if any of the band are Godparents to their kids? We would have heard about it by now. Probably.

Are they religious?, people don't usually bother nowadays.

Just out of general interest.

Edit - And just to add to that, of course we want to know it's name! :p

Not sure about you folks in the UK :D but in some countries there must be godparents of every child for certain practical reasons. Isn't the same there?

No, it's not. I'm curious, what countries are you referring to? What are the reasons in the countries where godparents are compulsory? Is there a mandatory religious element to this, or is 'godparent' used in the sense of an alternative guardian for the child should the parents not be able to care for it. What are the sanctions against people who refuse to have godparents for their children or against godparents who fail in their duties? I'm fascinated by this idea.
