Round the back after the Newcaslte gig lastnight during the autograph/photo scramble a fan said i am off to i think the Lincoln gig, James got out a red Whiteboard pen and put his name + 3 for Glasgow.

Same story really as Jack Duckworth.

I'm going to say the exact same thing than you all, but James really is one of the coolest men I know.
Musicians from indie bands not even half as famous as the Manics should take notes about how he treats the fans.

I bumped into Nicky yesterday. Was wondering London aimlessly after hearing about Brixton being postponed, he came out of a shop as I walked past. Had a chat. Mentioned that they hated cancelling but James couldn't hit any notes. Said he thought Liverpool was great. Offered to put me on guestlist. Nice guy.

saw nicky today!
got some singles/postcards signed and had a little chat.
poor lamb's not well, all croaky voiced and sorry for himself.
he said he was worried about getting back in the snow as he 'had the car' with him.
i still cant picture him driving tho.
he looked sweet all wrapped up in a massive overcoat.
when he saw i'd already got james' sig on the record he giggled 'oh,.. he's been in then has he?...hmmm'

such a sweetie

Well James 'drove up to meet Sir Kyffin Williams' but it doesn't necessarily mean that he was actually driving the car, cos he can't drive. So maybe it's the same with Nicky? Says he's with the car but doesn't mean he's actually driving it?

He was probably wondering if James had brought his Xmas present in there maybe his wife is the 'Taxi Driver' and she was waiting for him. Men always like to think of the car as their own even if they don't drive!

That bit just made me think he was being driven around by Travis Bickle.
