That is the best photo of me ever.
Not.

Re-reading this entire thread, which is, I think, a worthwhile exercise, I was delighted to see Alex James of Blur getting a kind of secret code namecheck very early on in the thread. If I had read it, and understood it, before, I could have been ready for his appearance. I think he liked me anyway.

Roger McGough has a poem about seeing Oasis outside a pub. I might write one about seeing Blur in a bar.

Much as I enjoyed myself, I think I would have preferred seeing Tony Benn in Hayes. I could even have got the same sodding train home.

I have been unable to find the photo of Wendy Craig.

It is almost time for Top of the Pops.

I didn't know there was a Graham Coxon forum. I'm scared now.

― Danger Whore (kate), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

You've been on ILX long enough Steve - those people are hardly upset in the classic Marcello/Barry/Doomie sense of the word, are they?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's icky how they are treating Graham like a surrogate newborn, who needs protecting from all the bad things in the world. I wonder if we were like that on Sinister?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it possible that the guy we saw was some lookalike bassist, as suggested? It certainly looked like Graham Coxon to me, and he was all of two yards away, but who can tell with these plastic-surgeried imposters?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you should tell them they're all idiots. because they obviously are. why would you make that up?

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

No way, it was definitely Graham Coxon. Trust the person who had a Smash Hits sticker of him on their History file. I'd recognise him ANYWHERE. Same for Alex James who is lardier in his belly than before but still has NO ARSE. What's THAT all about?

― Starry (hello chickens), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAHAAAAAAHHHH!!!

See, yes, this is actually your stereotypical Graham fan. The codependent mothering type. It's actually quite scary.

(Not that I've ever had any altercations with sick, sad, rabid Graham fans in the past...)

OK, I'll shut up now before I get myself in any more trouble.

― Danger Whore (kate), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so glad I don't know any of these people.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Are all four original Blurs even allowed to travel together? What if there were a terrorist attack?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Blur were never really that good, though.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

terrorists only target the really good bands, like Keane or U2.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you mean the terrorists want Keane banned

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

at last some common ground!

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

perhaps Keane can be a key pawn in negotiations which will one day see the end of all terrorism.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 8 October 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

er, which Keane are you talking about now?

― Freelance Keanelover (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Roy Keane. We should sit him down between Arafat and Sharon and THEN THEY'LL KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF TERROR.

I phoned Kofi Annan and he agreed it was ridiculous...

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Horrendous mindmeld!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow. That is special even by our usual standards.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I nearly went with your wording, too.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:05 (twenty-one years ago)

There are only two people who can safely say they've given their best in these negotiations - Bertie Aherne and David Trimble. The rest of us have just not been pulling our weight.

*dead eyed stare at Ian Paisley*

YOU COST US THE PEACE PROCESS!

― Roy Keane (Matt DC), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It was definitely Graham Coxon. He was standing exactly like that milk carton in the video. I had no trouble recognising him or Alex James, it took me a while to spot Damon even though I was looking straight at him (he has filled out a bit) and I didn't see Dave the drummer at all.

Of course you all know this but I'm too scared to post on that board.

It doesn't necessarily mean he's rejoined Blur though. I sometimes go out with former flatmates, but it doesn't mean I'm going to move in with them.

But I do think he's rejoining.

Also Michael Owen will be back soon, probably playing for Middlesborough or Bolton.

Shortly before Darko Kovacevic signed for Juventus, I saw him in the street with his agent. If only I had known about whatever the sport blog is called.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not sure using the blog to post about who you saw in the street is really worthwhile. or maybe i should milk my Bjork sighting the other day more on NYLPM?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it is the most worthwhile thing ever to appear on the blog. Carsmile is the Richard Littlejohn of his generation. Is that right? Or is he the bloke who does the racing? Please tell us about Bjork. She is on Jonathan Ross tonight. I wonder if the other voices will all be there. I hope so.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Please don't milk Bjork. It's not right.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i find Carsmile to be a smart, witty, well-read, indie hero. very much the antithesis of Mr Littlejohn.

other voices?

― Freelance Bjorkspotter (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Stevem trying it again?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:45 (twenty-one years ago)

The album consists entirely of voices, rather than instruments.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:45 (twenty-one years ago)

album? i thought Bjork was just an actress!

― Freelance Bjorklover (blueski), Friday, 8 October 2004 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

You're thinking of Minnie Driver.

Recently seen in the company of champion jockey Lester Piggot, my spies tell me.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 8 October 2004 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Lester Piggott was an utter cad to my ex's mum. Flee, Minnie!!

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

What's this about Blur now?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

GET THIS BLUR FILTH OF MY THREAD.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

err... "OFF".

Blurillaz in the system.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Blur lezzed it up to spite ilx.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Alba's bitterness after auditioning to replace Graham Coxon has clearly not subsided.

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Put the brown cover on this one.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought there would be more pictures on this thread.

Oof, you've busted yr bandwidth, Alba. (I don't have this problem as no one wants to look at me pictures).

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

it's not actually my bandwidth.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it my bandwidth? Has someone left their bandwidth on your thread?

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

It's just some random person, to quench PJ Miller's desire for pictures.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 October 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

One of Our Bandwidth's is Missing!
