If you say so boss. Promoting gambling is obnoxious and highly irresponsible, but so long as he doesn't play in front of the Queen, that's alright though.

Since when did the Manics turning down the closing ceremonies become a flip of the bird to the Royal family? I thought it was about the extreme commercialization of the Olympics? Or maybe it's about none of the above given that no one in the band has commented on why they allegedly turned it down. One cryptic remark means nothing.
well, at least he hasn't sold out by saying who is his turf accountant of choice - maybe next tweet

i get what you are saying, but on the other side anyone who starts gambling "because Nicky Wire does and he is so fucking cool" deserves to lose everything they own and hopefully it will teach them.

Truly heroic day of Pure Sporting Genius-xxx

I remember watching all of Atlanta96-gold medals were almost impossible to get for teamGB-NOW http://THIS-STUNNING.xxx

Funny old world- you take a 2yrs off working in the UK+you endup getting more offers of work than ever+not just music either xx



i have a sad feeling that after the Olympics he will close the twitter account forever because he will run out of the ideas for tweets.

also, this silly man interlinked in tweet that leads to nothing. Sean should tell him not to do that again because for a tiny little moment i thought OH MY GOD WHAT DID HE DO HERE? HE CAN DO THAT? HOW? WHEN? WHAT IS THERE?
although there was no disappointment, i thought then TYPICAL NICKY WIRE NOT KNOWING WHAT HES DOING.

just wait - i think he's ahead of the game here. somewhere or other i saw that a ".xxx" extension is going to be available for porn sites. save that link, one day you will be able to go, thanks to Nicky Wire, to a site offering you cock pills or similar.

Is Nicky betting again? Didn't he learn his lesson when he had to ask James to keep bailing his ass out of gambling debts when he was at uni?
