kudos to everyone buying/making presents for the band. I have great trouble choosing presents for friends/family and then worry if they're good enough. My head wouldn't be able to cope with stuff for the band aswell

ps - Just stalked your lastfm and think I was near you on the barrier yesterday, so hi also.
This sounds like a good idea, thanks I'll try and find someone important-looking to pass them on to in London. And hello! Hope you had a good time along the barrier and didn't get too squashed.

If they come is their green tour bus, give it to Phil the driver, such a sweetie (he passed on my gift to Nicky). If they come in a cab, you could try leaving it at the stage door for Angus. Good luck! Say hi if you see me.

I wasn't going to bother, but it screamed buy me, Nicky needs me! Then the bloke who owns the shop was so pleased at meeting a female Rush fan he gave me a £5 discount! Kerching

There are now fully grown adult people around who weren't born when A Design For Life was released.

WOW....that's a mortality check hahaha. At 36 this year, it feels only yesterday. But there are people practically old enough to buy a legal pint that weren't born or very new born when this was released that are Manics fans.


No slight on those newer (in age only) fans ... I just feel old(er) now, given the vivid recollection of bee lining to HMV to grab the 2 cd-singles and the cass-single.
