...well, we have a reputation to uphold. . .
I'm just sorry we didn't know that you & Ness were there on Saturday - you missed another decent night out there 
& sorry the others had to cry-off after the gig - but then with all the traveling after 'T' who could blame them?
Next time

Come on Mr Sayer, you know some of us lasses are much better than that. If JT wants to go to see NO then he can, as often as he likes (as long as he takes me along!!) You need to get yourself a girlfriend who is a NO fan (or that can be moulded into one) then the problem, except the money is solved.

Actually, I thought Nevena was in England already, otherwise I would have asked her if she would have liked to come along. I'll mail you both all the photos if you'd like them. I've been planing to write a thorough review and the whole story of my trip, but had some really big exams, but I'll probably write it this week.
Sore point. Yes, she should be over already but there always seems to be something. She is in Norway with her uncle and 2 cousins right now. She reckons she'll be flying to England straight after but as always, I'm not holding my breath. After all, she did tell me she was coming over in August 2003 
Are any of the pictures of you? Email me any other pictures you have of there. My camera died on me in Hyde Park, the rewind device failed so I exposed the film so it came out in rainbow style when it was developed and printed! The upside is that it gave me an excuse to buy a nice cool digital camera :D I'm just glad that I made it to Hyde Park with my friend Vicky even though I got far too hot by mid-afternoon and drowned like a rat at the gig when it pissed down.
*You need to get yourself a girlfriend who is a NO fan (or that can be moulded into one) then the problem, except the money is solved. *Lucy 1st question i asked when i met 'D' is 'Who's yr fave band -New Order' she said.
Trouble is we just shelled out £4K on IVF this summer (which hasn't worked) 
However, she has been dragged round some of our finest indoor venues over time

I needed a tour guide after we left that cocktail bar, but you went for Pizza and water :D
Has to be said, you did a pretty good job.

you got up and walked out of the cocktail bar by yourself, kind sir, and it took us about five minutes before someone finally said, 'where's mark gone to?'
and it wasn't straight to the pizza and water. it was to my former college bar where i proceeded to have another pint with gary (you know where al and his mate got off to ;) ). then off for food.
i think they just took every liquor in the bar, poured it into a vase, served it to us, then called it a 'long island iced tea.'
why are all of my posts suddenly attached to mr. giles'? i like the man, but i'm not ready for this kind of commitment.
i was glad the shite weather at hyde park cleared up for new order.a big cheer to those who braved the rain to see support bands earlier while we stayed in the pubs.

I saw the Bravery footage on the telly: it looked like there was about 30 people there.
New Order fans, eh? They know a dud when they see one (or don't, for that matter....)
make that 18! god I hope, maybe I shouldn't jinx it by getting too excited possibly 18 then.
