so then....
Dawn has asked me to explain!
all saints - not the band!!! (but I do own one of their albums) the clothing range - kinda got a bit into All Saints clothing last summer, due to a certain lanky bassist from Wales parading around in their stuff. I can't afford the stuff really but that doesn't stop me looking at it in House of Fraser ALL THE TIME. I own 3 All Saints t shirts and an All Saints bag and I don't ever dare to tell Kev how much they were!
html - I learned to write html code whilst on maternity leave - and I still love it and trust it more than Dreamweaver - but my boss makes me use Dreamweaver.
purple waterproof trousers - the coolest ever Manics gig queuing attire. As modelled by me at a very wet and windy Cardiff International Arena, January 2005. CHECK.THEM.OUT.
queue nazis - the ....erm...fond name myself and my friends were given back in 2003 sometime when we tried to have a list of people queuing for a Manics gig and tried to keep the queue in some kind of order. The name kinda stuck.
thats nicky wire!! - It should just be "nicky wire" - I don't know where the "that's" bit came from - prob a typo. Anyway there's this bass player in some Welsh band that I'm quite keen on...;)
rustic beards - hehe. right this is gonna sound weird. A few years ago I went out with some Manics-fan friends from Finland who speak excellent English, , we were having a meal in Bella Italia in Cambridge I think. One of the Finnish friends was studying the menu with some interest when she asked "what's a rustic tomato" - so we set about explaining the meaning of the word "rustic" - at the time the best thing we could come up with was "y'know Nicky Wire's beard at Isle of Wight Festival in 2003? That was kinda rustic". So the term Rustic Beards was born...
pizza express - the best pizza restaurant in the world, nay the universe. The Fiorentina has been my pizza of choice for over two decades however I have recently switched allegiance to the Parmense. If you want to make me happy take me to a Pizza Express.
