erm, this is a strange thing to post but i had a call in my office today from my mate telling me nicky was in the shop again!
(thats twice this week!)

unfortunately i was in the middle of counting money so i could'nt leave the room but i asked him to keep an eye out for what he was upto.

he wandered about for a bit in his usual green coat, carrying a 'diesel' bag and selected three items.
i shit you not one of them was generation terrorists.
yes, really.
we spent about an hour thinking up theories as to why he'd buy it!

for shame that the idiot temp who served him didn't really care that she'd served him and did not question his purchase.

ten minutes earlier and i'd have been on lunch and been able to ask him too.

whadder you think?
joke xmas gift for someone?
worn his copy out?

so strange

Maybe he has worn his copy out! Scratched it prehaps? Great info Jack! Thanks! :D

Maybe he does'nt want the X Factor album to be No. 1 for Xmas so he is visiting every record shop in Britain and buying a copy of GT to get it to No. 1.

The Gutless Wonder 11-12-2009 21:04

GT for No 1! Yay!

jack_duckworth 11-12-2009 21:12

im really gutted i didn't get to ask him.
its not cheap either, aboy £12 i think.

plus (and this is where you start to doubt that im telling the truth,but really i am!!) we only had one copy in stock and thats the one i was listening to last week!

please understand that im in no way smug about seeing them in town all the time!
i dont act cool in front of them, i fall to bits then slap myself afterwards!

The Gutless Wonder 11-12-2009 21:15

No, no, you keep posting Jack. You never come across as smug at all! :) Wonder who he did buy it for! The intrigue!

I'm going for worn out his copy.

The day we were hungover and kept seeing him in Manchester in 2007 we were in All Saints so Sam could get one of those Divine Youth t-shirts (on his recommendation as they were having a bank holiday 10% off everything thing promotion) and when she went to buy it the boy behind the counter was a manics fan and he told us how we'd just missed Nicky being in there so we were like yeah we know (and quite grateful as we'd already seen him in Boots and HMV and any more would have looked like stalking, though potentially that could earn us the restraining orders we've also dreamed of).

Anyway the bloke behind the counter said how he thought it was Nicky when he first saw him but then he was looking at the t shirts so he figured it couldn't be and then when he picked one up decided it definitely wasn't right up until he got till the counter and he realised it really was :) I always thought that was quite the Nicky thing to do though.

The poor boy behind the counter also then got that whole they should have given me royalties/free t-shirts bit. They should make more t shirts with his face on really it was funny as you got like the drunken speech where he was talking about him and Richey and pointing at the wrong ones as he had the t shirt on back to front. The only real issue with it was the amount of time I spent looking for the mythical dress version that only Nicky Wire had ever seen. and the fact it came in yellow.

Ahh the mythical dress version, and my yellow one has gone a bit kinda green in the wash which is odd?

So, I go and snooze in the library whilst Manics wander around town, going into shops I'd just been into? Typical!

Has anybody got any pics of JDB's wedding? Would love to see what Mylene looks like.
Please don't think of me as a sad wanker, just wanted to see him happy & in love.
I served him once in a pub during my student days. Really really wanted to talk to him
But the spinless girl I am let him walk on by as I just didn't have the bottle in case he Told me to "DO ONE". So my family take the mickey telling folk "THE DAY I LET JDB GO!"
Ha, ha very funny sis. Don't think that I will never live that one down.
LOVE the forum by the way. stay gorgeous, stay beautiful, but above all stay TRUE.
