Things I've learned on this tour......

Agree with much of the above, especially the gay stuff, but also learned that I am destined to always miss out on "the best New Order gig of the last 10 years".

Also, Tim, that's very sweet of you, but I am in fact male.

She's probably thinking,"I paid ten pound a shirt like that off Rocket Mick!" Glad you had a good time Frank.

Hey honey! Are you a pessimist or an optimist? Is your bottle of ARCHERS half full or half EMPTY!

I've learned that we could have got a nightbus back to our digs in London at 3am instead of trying in vain to get a taxi.And also on that point that we should have obtained the numbers of taxi firms beforehand.

Oh and i'd also forgotten that Wolverhampton is such a dump

@Lucyjane

i missed you too,the problem was i can't get holidays for London.The thing with the 1st Row was this.on the Second Glasgow day i want to see more from the Concert as the day before.right to me a little girl,i dont wanne "hurt" her and i block the masses from behind.It hurts a little bit,but everything is ok.

See you next time,i hope so

1. Seeing New Order is the best live experience, bar non
2. Travelling to Bournemouth by train from Newcastle is
   not sensible
3. Grey squirrels like eating monkey nuts
4. The pubs at Wembley are well hidden
5. Bournemouth is a holiday hot spot for the over 60’s
6. Glasgow is even colder than Newcastle
7. Rocket Mick is indeed a legend
8. I need to go to more gigs
9. I need to start wearing sensible shoes for gigs
10. New Order sound better when you’re pissed
11. I’m nearly always pissed by the time I see New Order
12. It is true that time flies when you’re having fun

.. most of the above plus

25. The thought of Alan Wise turning up at Elland Road as stadium announcer is still making me laugh, thanks Mark.

Indeed. You are neither blonde nor from a different country as well!

Lets start on a positive note

1- Seeing New Order isnt as good as it used to be 2- For some reason I still feel the need to trek across the country going to see them, and feel gutted when I cant make it 3- Dave Legge is a legend 4- Welsh Darren is also a legend 5- If you order a taxi at 2345, and they say 5 minutes, you can near enough guarantee it wont show up until after Midnight to charge you extra 6- Wolverhampton is the worst town I have been in since... well.. i dunno actually 7- New Order gigs start off good and then really tail off 8- The Set List needs an urgent shake up 9- That pub in Blackpool was awful. Never thought i'd say i wish we were in The Canterbury 10- Blue Monday really does suck 11- The pre match piss ups are better than the gigs- well most of the time anyway 12- Despite all of this, I'll carry on turning up regardless.

1. I'm an olympic grade fucktard for all those years I could have been going to see them and didn't.
2. I still love travelling.
3. Travelling no longer loves me, quite the reverse in fact.
4. Londoners have become friendly[1]
5. I am as unsafe as ANY woman in charge of lots of money in a big city.
6. it IS possible to live on fruit juice, lucazade, 3 bites of a sandwich and half a mcchicken sandwich meal, for 3 days.
7. it is NOT possible to dance and yell like a spastic for 90mins when thus fueled.
8. Missy Jem is a MUCH better travelling companion than the casual observor of our favourite vimto smiled dancefloor acrobat might imagine. (she's not a patch on Romana or K9 though).
9. Hotel rooms are ALWAYS too hot.
10. bouremouth is a lovely place
11. Wolverhampton isn't...although telling kids "fuck off this isn't America ya wee cunts" in response to "trick or treat", did endear the place to me. 12, The trains are great on the mainland.
12. Until they're not, then they're REALLY bad.
13. Boredom is my nemesis
14. I still know one end of sound desk from t'other
15. Cliff Richard is a much safer bet than NO

[1] Possibly this is related to the fact that folks what sound like me have stopped making bits of London vanish.

I forgot one major lesson!

Navy Blue is one SEXY colour!

Hiya Chick

About time they did some more gigs! Oh they are, just not round here!

1.New Order are the best band in the world EVER!!! 2.The Vikings are a top bunch(liked very much to chat to Ness and Big Clive and thanks for the badges AL)I was a little bit shy so did not talk so much to the others... 3.It was very nice to meet/chat to Ricardo(One Brain)How jealous I got when he said he saw Mr.Sumner... :( 4.Wembley was the best gig I have been too so far. 5.Peter Hook has a special place in my heart after Blue Saturday but... 6.Bernard Sumner still THE ONE!!! 7.The hotel bed was sooo good after dancing the whole night!!! 8.I still want to know Ness and Peter Hook´s secret...how can they have so much energy?(Red Bull?)Ness danced the whole Saturday ALL the time.

I was a bit drunk at that time and told Fernando to fuck off for traveling to England and not attending any of the gigs.

I remember that too... Does Fernando live in London or he was there just for NOOL Day?

Sorry to derail...

Are we talking of Fernando Lopez-de-Victoria who used to post to the old Ceremony mailing list? I used to read his posts like they were textbooks.

Is he going to be with us in Sao Paulo? I'd love to meet him.

Speaking for myself, not drinking too much assists dancing ability and maintaining co-ordination.

Hooky's stamina seems to be partly due to Lipton Iced Tea!!

Hang on, did someone come all the way from South America for NOOL day, and NOT see New Order?

If thats true, what a wierdo.
