I agree, look at Ryan Giggs. I love this look, i even thought Ricky Ponting, Aussie Cricket captain, had this look...Prehaps somewhere in his roots!! I would say prehaps it's the 'New South Wales' but Ricky is from Tasmania!!!

No, I haven't see them out and about, but today I saw a guy with Spillers Records canvas bag. Don't laugh, I was seriously thrilled, since I live in Finland and you definitely are not used to seeing Spillers Records canvas bags here

I had this urge to go up to him and say "you've been in the same record shop as the manics used to go". He probably would have thought I'm crazy.

I don't know where my other half fits into this Welsh stereotype.He's over 6ft tall.

just got my copy of the great western signed by james at work!
my mate spotted him browsing and rang my office to let me know he was in.

i hovered around a bit waiting for eye contact but when he started heading for the door i plucked up the courage to call after him.
i waved the record infront of him and he giggled a bit and this is waht followed

;

me; sorry to bother you everytime you're in but can i have a scribble?... im building up quite a collection!
james; (laughs) its ok, you're probably the ony fucker that'll buy it this year!
me; (nervous laugh) good to see you, how was america?
james; (surprised) oh, yeah really good. some places were only 300-400 capacity so it was really hot and sweaty. the last few days were a bit tough,i got sick (shrugs)
me; hard work then or fun?
james; gigs were fun but there was 2 days driving between some shows. just got on with a book and we were all sniping at eachother a bit (laughs) lots of burgers and chips too.
me; thank you so much for your time,sorry to have bothered you.
james; hey thats ok, if i dont see you have a good christmas (heads upstairs for more shopping)
me; squeeeee squeeeee squeeeee squeeeeeeeeee all the way home

he's such a lovely man,he didn't have to talk to me,he could've just signed the record and got off.
i was tempted to ask for a pic with him but was trying to play it a little bit cool im bound to see him around again. i will have a look on the cctv though, its a longshot but i might be able to get an image of us chatting.

squeeee squeeeee squeeee etc

FD's Man On The Spot interviewer eh?

He's lovely, I wish he lived near me, I'd be inviting him in for a cuppa all the time. I wonder what he was reading ...

jack_duckworth · #**264** 16-10-2009, 16:00

he didn't seem to be coughing or anything.
he was still looking at dvd's when i left so i don't know what he bought,i'll find out tomorrow.
he was wearing a black polo shirt, black jeans and a thin black overcoat .
and he had a little backpack.
and those big boots he always wears.

he was very smiley and seemed really pleased to chat and not put out at all.
just really warm and comforting really, i didn't feel awkward talking to him at all

mooserevenge · #**265** 16-10-2009, 16:00

James ftw. Simple as that <3

Loz · #**266** 16-10-2009, 16:00

I love that he told you to have a good christmas

I did a massive AWWWWWWW at all of this. I don't know why. Especially the 'little backpack' bit.

Seriously James is just such a CB. What a wee darling.

great story jack_duckworth, i think you did in fact play it cool. he was wearing black doc martens at the boston show last week. maybe the same ones.

Atrocity Exhibitionist · #**269** 16-10-2009, 16:32

At the NYC gig while still outside getting one of those "over 21 bracelets" tied to my wrist, I was looking down as the bouncer was putting it on, when I looked up Nicky was just opposite me about three feet away just staring at me, we looked at each other for a few seconds, kinda of the way little dogs tilt their head when they see something interesting, then we both just smiled and I ending up walking in at the same time as him. I think maybe he was checking out my eye shadow as I was looking down, I was wearing quite a bit of Urban Decay, and friends did say it looked fierce! Thought experience odd and funny
