Good morning all. Sorry, wasn't coming online last night once I got home, way too tired. Left Deadly in London about 14:30, got home 19:00 last night, took ruddy ages just to get to the M1. Grrr.
Anyway, what a freaking amazing day. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Everything was great, all you other forum geeks, the show itself, the 'after show' (shhhhhh), the beer afterwards and Aled the Magnificent coming to meet us for a chat afterwards - remaining the approachable, loving top-man we've all known him to be.
I have a few pics to share, so far. Although, these are low quality images as i've had to send 'em via mail which compresses the image - at some point I shall plug my phone in to laptop and download 'em properly, soz was too tired last night.
This pic, Adam (far left as you look at pic) spotted Freya with friends looking through teh window of the pub we were in. I waived at her like a loony to get her attention, so obviously Freya had to come in to say Hi. Freya is lovely, she remembered both Andy (chrysostom) and I from 'Aleds Forum Brainstorm meeting', which I thought was great! We had our chat and blagged our Pics. But, bless, having been accosted in the intended drinking establishment, Freya and her mates went off elsewhere... Bit of peace n quiet away from the geeks! Bless. Thanks Freya, lots o love. x (so you know, L to R) Adam, dimtimjim, topher, cat (behind T), Freya, chrysostom (behind F), wee-bmstinton93, Nic_red (obviously), Deadly, ianpwilliams and zoot (who has been chopped in half in the upload to this site - he's not in my pic... Soz Z).
The team, posing on stage for photos at the end of the show. (for those who don't know L to R) - Pippa, Dom, Aled, Chris, Tina, Dave, Freya.
Chris' special leaving show guests. I really liked this bit (as in REALLY liked it) not only was I there to say bye to my hero, but Sara Cox in leather trousers - I was in heaven. And in love. (again, for those who don't know L to R) Fearne, Roy, Billie Piper, James Corden, Davina, Dean Gafney (!), the beautiful and amazing Sara Cox, and the Captain - Mr Barlow himself. (EDIT: just noticed Barlow is cut out of this pic, I hope the proper download will fix this - get on it asap).
I've actually met Chris n shook his hand. This fact is still causing slight issues in my trouser dept....
