If you bumped into a member of the band, what the heck would you say ?

I'd start off with "Mmmphmuumumutghfgdmum" probably and then say something completely starstruck like "You way off the beaten track, mister - you shure got a purty mouth....".

Really, tho' what would you say ?

If the pubs were open it would have to be "You've given me over 20 years of pleasure, the least I can do is buy you a pint" or something equally fawning..

If i met Steve in the pub I'd march right up to him, shake his hand twice, ask him if he wants a pint, if he refuses, i jump on top of the bar, steal exactly 16 packets of salted peanuts, open them all up (bit unrealistic since i cant open one packet nevermind 16) sprinkle the peanuts all over steve's head, begin singing world in motion at him full blast, then collapse onto the floor in a drunken mess whilst steve bludgens me to death with his chin of hell.

"Hi, Dad!" :D

"oops...sorry...let me help you up" then I realize who I'm talking to..."Hi, how are ya? I love your music."

Why didn´t you sleep in Ian Curtis house on Saturday 17th may 1980 ? You bastard !!!

after 1 - 2 glasses of wine : nothing, I would be tongue-tied after 3 - 5 glasses of wine : I would probably manage to utter something along the lines of 'I've always loved your music, how's the new album coming along' after 6 or more: I'd be advising Barney on his diet and asking Hooky for some DIY tips ...

I've met them. No need to say anything.

aw, come on. It's only New Order. Now if it was Ian Curtis, that would be something.

yawn

I told Barney to stop singing once. He was trying to sing David Bowies Space Oddity.

'specially since he's dead...

I just HAD to say that...sorry ;)

I don't think I'd actually SAY anything. I'd probably collapse with laughter or something like that. Or else, I'd think of those inane AIM away messages I made up about New Order and I'd probably p*ss myself and run. :bag:

"Mr. Hook, why don't you play your bass like any other - with all the fingers? Maybe it'll sound better, man!!":bag:

I'd say..."what the hell are you doing out here...get back in the studio so I can have something new to listen to!"

or..."Thanks!"

yeah...that give the occasion that extra little bit of impossibility.

I'd probably go "G'day how's it going? You wouldn't mind putting your John Hancock on this copy of Get Ready would ya?"

I would say."Lend us a tenner mate...i'm broke."

Originally posted by Rocket Mick I would say."Lend us a tenner mate...i'm broke."

good one. even a fiver would do nicely! and then i'd ask barney for a spin in his new boat.

I met Hooky last year, I was, unfortunately quite drunk at the time, all I could ask was when were they coming to play in Spain.

I would say."Lend us a tenner mate...i'm broke."

I would either say that, or I would ask if they could spare a light.

"Lend me a bob, I'll pay you back next Tuesday when I get my check" :D (paraphrasing the Poet McTeagle)

we have a winner...now tell Rocket what he's won...

a tenner...ten pence that is!

Ah, here's the actual work in question:

Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed? I'm right on my uppers. I can pay you back When this postal order comes from Australia. Honestly. Hope the bladder trouble's geting better. Love, Ewan

Sniff....beautiful!

I'd ask them if they'd like to smoke a fatty with me.

"Fancy seeing you today. What the heck are you doing here?

After I'd got over the initial shock, I'd say "Can I have your autograph?" Then, once I'd got that, I'd probably say something like "You guys are my favourite band, you've kept me sane over the last few years. Keep it up!" before letting them go on their way. Sorry to be boring.

"Would you like to come back to my place? Bouncey bouncey!" :D
