I might not have felt such anguish. I wasn’t even bothered about a photo. It was never for that. Oh, but it’s lovely! Obviously I’m not…but Jim and Charlie are – and Jim’s smiling! I know that’s not exactly a rare thing…but it was feeling that way for me, personally.
I’m really happy.
I always found the OU to be quite well organised but I can see how that would have freaked you the fuck out. ?Arseholes.
I?m getting a pair of boots like Charlie?s. They look the business ?
THAT is fucking brilliant. So relaxed and unique compared to all the traditional fan photos that you see. Tremendous
A bit of detail I neglected to add to the BIG blog post about the two gigs is that after the Aberdeen gig, just after midnight, I had an email from the OU labelled ?URGENT ACTION REQUIRED?. The email saying ?it appears from our records that you have either yet to apply for the SAAS part-time student fee grant or you have not been awarded the grant? and I was then in a state about that! I knew I had my award notification back home but it still was making me panic. When I got home I called them and said I had been awarded the grant. ?We?re really sorry about this. Some students received this email in error.? Fuuuuuck! Thanks for the freakout, OU! ??
And, thanks. I bloody love this photo. I know there are some fans really pissed off with theirs though. Some I have seen aren?t very good at all. I was lucky!
