Just been freezing my tits off after standing outside the Filmworks cinema for about and hour and a half. Waited around on my own for ages, feeling like a total knobba....I actually arrived before most of the press did! First sighting of the evening was Mani from The Stone Roses, resplendent in a gangsta style pinstripe suit - confused me though, coz he was actually coming OUT of the cinema :confused: Saw loads more people going in and collecting their passes, but no one I recognised (apart from Alpinestars - pretty good local band), until.....spotted some fella reaching out of his back pack to produce a vinyl copy of 'Best of...' to be signed by Steve and Gillian!! I bounded over like a complete womble, not even knowing what I was going to say, produced the only bit of paper in my bag, (which was my payslip!) for them to sign. I started gibbering on about coming from work and being totally unprepared :o - Steve looked absolutely terrified, but Gillian was very smiley and is looking fab. Waited around a bit longer, coz the press seemed to still be hanging around, but no sign of Hooky, Barney or any of the stars of the film :( Had to leave as I am now tired, hungry and very embarrassed at being such a gibbering fool .....:)

Over and out...

Well done Kez on meeting the Tasty Fish Brigade! I bet laters you will think of dozens of questions and think if only. Well don't regret it cuz at least you met them.

I once met Damon and Graham from Blur at Glastonbury. I gave them a trampled on beer cup and got em to sign it, despite not being a fan of theirs at the time. Thought that it would be valuable. Yeah right. ;)

Steve Coogan came out of the film for Liquid News on BBC Choice and then went back in. They showed the kerput Hacienda. How longs it been flattened. Seems like months now!?
