Sorry for not saying hello to anyone, but I'm a little shy and wasn't quite drunk enough.

I'm gutted that TGW didn't get to meet James. I didn't get to meet him either, although I was nearly pushed into him?!? I did get a postcard signed by Nicky and I told him he had lovely legs!! i do agree that it wasn't fair that some were trying to get everything they owned signed and he weren't moving on afterwards. I could've been more pushy, but that would've been rude.

The gig was a bit mad and had people jumping on me and got the bruises to show for it. Think I am getting a bit old for the moshing now, I never thought I'd say that. It could just be because of my dodgy hip though? The gig was enjoyable though. Really enjoyed OWA and SSI.

Did have a fun day going round our old haunts, seeing how things had changed and saying 'Didn't that used to be....'

The only reason we were seated is because my wife is pregnant, but I really enjoyed it, in fact, given the option again, I would take it. We had a great view, without detracting too much from the atmosphere. Maybe I'm getting old too!

Did I have to ask you to move at one point so I could go to the loo?

I think so! I'd had a few to drink, so the finer details are a little vague.

The chances are alot of us were sat next to each other without knowing.

I'll start, as you walk in the door, I was sat in the sofas directly to your left with my back to the window with my wife. I was wearing a black send away the tigers tour t-shirt!
I sat outside at first and posted where I was. I spoke to a few people at the bar and tables but only found a few FD bods on the way out. When we moved inside I even posted the table number where we were sitting. Just wasn't meant to be.

Sigh...wish I was there; glad I get to live vicariously through FD though (seriously) how else would I know what's going on in the Manics world?

Next time I definitely will come over.

Of Walking Abortion!!! How was the "Who's responsible" bit at the end? It's one of my favorite Manic moments.

The Maranello is buu-tee-ful!! Nice legs too : )

Thanks for sharing

They played the of walking abortion sample before they came on stage, and the end was pretty cool with the crowd!

I may have been crushing a few people in front of me for which I apologise, but I was trying to get away from the dickheads behind me with their elbows and cider spilling antics!
