My favorite part of the news post is how the ice tea bottle is blurred out XD

That'll be me then :0)

 

Now we have a bit of headache to sort out some dates as I live in the UK...but, it's a nice headache to have ;)

[Crusader]

Congratulations!

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Thanx! ;)

[Crusader]

hope you don't mind your name ending up on our front page but i'm about to update the article.

[wazz]

Jane, if you decide it's too much hassle, I will happily fly across the pond ;)

[Jane Belinda Smith]

@ Crusader

[LonelyWreckage]

Congrats Jane ! You should get him to come over here for fucking once ! ;)

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Well...I did ask last time we met. It's so expensive, I think. What we need is another double-platinum and perhaps that'll swing it. Nice to meet another UK fan BTW.

[LonelyWreckage]

Aye, I know. He hasn't gone double-platinum here before, has he ?

 

Likewise by the way, where abouts you from Jane ?

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Cambridgeshire

[LonelyWreckage]

I wonder how on earth he heard of MGB ?

 

I can safely say if there was no such thing as the internet, I'd be amongst the other 99.9999999% of, what I'm guessing to be, UK population who don't have a fucking snifter who he is.

 

You know it's bad when you can't even recall hearing of the fella, let alone a single radio-play. Is he fuck coming over here.

 

That graphic design job must be treating you well. I imagine it's probably better paid darn sarf...

[Jane Belinda Smith]

No, not really, it's just that I would spend the last penny I had if it meant I could see Matt perform. I harbour a secret desire to sit in the coner of a studio, watch him create... and make him cups of tea all day (29, so he told me, haha). Seriously, I can't believ I have wasted so many years listening to crap. There is NO-ONE that even comes close...

I think Jon saw him in London, a while ago.

[LonelyWreckage]

He hasn't played over here, has he ?

 

I'd love to see him, but I'm not prepared to spend 2 grand to do so (even if I had it, that is), so fair do's, can't whinge really.

 

How's he like his cuppas ? ;)

[Jane Belinda Smith]

I'm pretty sure he has

[LonelyWreckage]

Haha

 

Well I've asked here before and the general consensus was that he hasn't, but you never know ?

 

That'd be a bit of a pisser like, learning that he's actually been over here before and I was too slow off the mark to go see him...but I suppose it'd mean he might actually return.

 

I doubt I'll bother otherwise, I've gotta admire the determination though - I could never be bothered with all of that ! I mean, it's rare when I can be bothered going down to Manchester if it means having to use public transport or drive for miles, especially if I have to book a hotel. Anything which takes a bit of planning, basically.

 

I can't even imagine conversing with Matt Good...what did yers talk about ?!

 

Milky tea FTW, btw.

[AnOceanPearl]

MGB played a handful of dates in Germany in 2000 I think it was, but I'm not sure if they hit any other countries.

[Jane Belinda Smith]

I think you may be right Pearl, I may have gotten my facts wrong. What did we talk about? Everything and nothing really. I can't wait to see him again. He's so cool and very down to earth. Love the guy, actually *blush* ;)

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Lonelywreckage, do you have a private email, or a facebook page? let me know, please? We UK MG fanatics have to stick together!! (Besides, you look rad!! ;0)

[LonelyWreckage]

My life's not interesting enough to have a Facebook, but I've got an email, I'll PM you it in a bit. ;)

 

That's Ryan Adams in my pic, if that's what you're referring to? If however, you're just saying I sound cool, then ignore that lol Just don't want to disappoint !

[Jane Belinda Smith]

AHA!! I always wondered what he looked like :0)

[LonelyWreckage]

You a fan of his ? ;)

 

I've PM'd you my email...

[Jane Belinda Smith]

I heard of him a while ago. On the radio they were keen to stress he was RYAN not BRYAN haha. Can't remember much of it though, must look him up.
