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.

For instance, in Hungary, you have to name two persons (I think they don't have to be married) as godparents of your child, in case you erm expire so they could be his/her guardians, even if the child is not baptized. I guess it doesn't often come to that as normally grandparents take care of the children if needed (at least, that's what I see). I'm not sure about the legal part though.

That is such great news, just lovely:)

bumped into james last Saturday by my home.
I think he'd had a few.
he 'thinks' the new album is sounding good!
very keen to point out that the track played on radio wales had absolutely no connection to the album & was just a one off.

looked very cool wandering about with his glasses on & jacket over shoulder.

such a sweet guy - effortless cool

Nice!! , thanks for keeping us informed Jack x

also, something from a few weeks back I thought was really sweet;

when the new bowie album came out we had a big display of catalogue/merch/t-shirts etc going on.
nicky was in buying stuff and had my pal reserve him a bowie berlin shirt for the next day as he didn't have enough cash on him.
reserved under 'mr wire'
he popped in the next day for it.

*edit; 'mr wire' was not stated by him - my colleague knew him!*
