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.
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!
