ZOMG THE MANICS WERE AMAZING!!!!
They played Of Walking Abortion (introduced as "that party tune") and Umbrella and Pennyroyal Tea and James spun around on one foot and Nicky wore a ridiculously short skirt and knee socks and just GLEEE!!
I appreciate no one on my flist, with the exception of
0_clay_0 will care about this, but hey.

Just genius. The whole thing. I am now possibly going to Reading on Saturday and trying to blag a ticket from somewhere because they were so good and I cannot wait to see them again!! Also met a really nice woman who overheard me talking loudly about the Libs (er, strange that) and chatted with us about Shambles and the tallness of the Peter.
Aw Manics, I have missed thee. My lovely Welsh boys. And the Wire is on antibiotics for a tooth absess, so cannot drink, poor lamb.
