It's just he seemed more nervous than I was - and for me it was a sixty second blur! I don't think I even looked at Nicky, though I thanked James.

It must have been really nerve-wracking meeting all these hordes of people in three different cities! I couldn't cope with being a rockstar!

I happened to be in manchester today, but with no money. If I'd have had my card on me i'd have bought an extra copy of NT just to meet them.

Begged the security man to let me in, and finally settled to get a picture of Nicky & James from the door.

Am I that bad?

I went into dribbling meltdown when I met James on his own - Christ knows how I would cope with all three of them, it would most probably kill me! Not being a very confident person is a real curse at the best of times but during Manic meetings it would be hell for me. Better for me to dream.

Glad you lot all had a good time.

I met Sean a few years back at the Xfm Winter Wonderland in Manchester, we ended up talking about cars. So yesterday at the Manchester signing I asked him what he was driving now & has he still got his 107, he sheepishly said he now drives a Prius! Think James might have recognised me from meets of old as he said Alright man, back again?

[Takk]

Yeah I believe James must remember everyone he meets...scarily!

Thought the Manchester signing went great. Got a smile from all three and a handshake from James. Was only when I was outside that I realised James hadn't signed my cd!! Major panic but the security were great and let me back in. Well worth the trip from Sheffield.

Yep they were on time in Manchester. We were walking out the store by about 5 past 6.

Sorry, I don't really know anyone off here- who, in real life, was Quinbo?

He was standing behind that couple that were next to us (with the duran duran kid) he was standing with the guy with a mohawk thing and he had dark hair, we chatted when he first arrived at barrier and inside the store.

I think we got the raw end of the deal being the middle signing 'ohhh we cant be late for manchester' haha

I managed to take a photo of the band just before they started signing in Manchester, although annoyingly there was a whole row of photographers stood between the queue and the band, so it was difficult to get a good shot



And me with James, from a rather strange angle, because security wouldn't let people stand next to him for some reason, so I had to lean round the desk...hence the biiiig head
