tilburg 26-1-2012

dunno where to start so i just start typin and see where it goes lol
les and i left home bout 12ish to the town station of my town to tilburg
when we got there we went straight to the venue 013 there and checked it out, asked bout our tickets and passes got told to come back at 7pm when the doors would go open so we went into town for a shop to buy cigs searched for an hour for a shop who sells cigs couldn't find one so asked in a shop where i could find a tabacco shop got directions to one and we got our cigs went back to the bar we would meet up the other bunch a loonies and surprise surprise every bar we passed had a BLOODY CIG MACHINE been searchin in the cold for NOTHIN lol oh well the first hour wait went buy really quick found the bar we would meet up and guess what it was fkin CLOSED so we went to cafe studio nice bar big so they had room for the LOONIES lol so there we were at 2ish waitin for the loonies michele was the first one to show up and we had a nice chat all 3 of us then a few background crew memebers passed by to a shop and we had a nice chat with them jem was the first one to pass by nice bloke he is then we spotted einstein (martin) and nick also nice blokes and robin hickman passed by (to shy to chat to us lol)
in the meanwhile more loonies showed up few drinks together some talkin lookin forward to the gig then johan riona nens and me went for a bite to eat and then it was waitin till queue time lol but just after we got back at the bar it started to rain and was really pissin down ugh and got colder as well but hey wasnt too bad on a heated terras lol but after a while we went inside for a bit to warm again then round 6.30pm i think it was we went back to the venue to get in queue and our tickets and backstage passes

waited there for another 30 mins till the box office opened and when it was our turn for the tickets they fkin couldn't find our names on the 4 page list geez lol oh well they found our names in the end and we got our tickets and passes

and we went in queue and inside we went straight to our spot right in front of rob and jimmy we got a great show with a great setlist really class dunc in so much pain of his broken rib but he kept goin could see and hear he was in pain but duncx ur forgiven for that you made it up today (more bout that in a bit) and that cheeky brother of him tried to make him laugh poor dunc
great setlist the new track blue eyes COUGHT me already i love it (after hearin it twice) and after the show it was waitin YET again lol to go backstage and thought i would be bloody nervous when i would be there with the boys but NOOOOO i didn't get a chance to get bloody nervous at all when we got at the dressing rooms i went in the "smokin" room headache straight away lol but never mind put myself down next to early b and started talkin like i see him weekly lol finally got my t-shirt signed after i bought it at the ahoy gig of 2007 had really nice chats with the boys fatherlike hug from brian a sexy sax of him on my shirt and way too soon they had to leave

but hopefully another chance on longer chats at another time BOYS many thanks for makin a 23 year old dream comin true.

another great show had a really great time today rob was askin me why i wasn't wearin my t-shirt said to him i can't wear it anymore coz 10 friends signed it and my shirt is gonna be FRAMED now and goin up the wall
i asked him what they gave to dunc coz he looked much more at ease and in less pain than yesterday GUYS what drug/medicine did you give dunc? lol. and today blue eyes REALLY cought me as soon as dunc started to sing i sang along don't ask how i could coz i never heard it before yesterday lol had a laugh with the boys again a really nice young lady with down syndrome next to us was over the moon when brian started a song specially for her he gave her his towel and again she was totally over the moon so sweet to see les filmed her a few times and we promised her sister and her the videos of today so we gonna make sure of that tomoro
and again way too soon the gig was over again so back to the trainstation of goes to go back home
I AM STILL SITTIN ON A CLOUD AND I DON'T WANNA COME OF AGAIN.
