Wink Funniest Manics moments?

In my opinion, there are a lot, but what was the last time you laughed at something Manic? quote/line/appearance etc.

Reading '94 (i think?) during You Love Us when Nicky just stops playing and lobs his guitar into the amplifier.

The interviews for both the THB and EMG 10th Anniversary DVD's were quite amusing!

Vital '07. Nicky drunkenly singing during You Love Us.

Cracks me up every time.

Sean appearing at the Lipstick Traces signing, and the girls behind me shouting "aww he's so small and cute!". Poor Sean!

Other funny moments, James and Nicky signing my friends crutches in Glasgow, James calling me "Granty" (which i took as a sign of endearment), anddddd I dunno why, but i always like it when the crowd does the whole "There's only one nicky wire!" football chant, that's hilarious, and you can tell Nicky is pretty smug about it.

My gf's friend had quite a funny moment with the manics, she shared a lift with James in a hotel once. hmmmm funny or awkward?!

For me, it's the A Design for Life at the Millenium gig when James breaks a string and throws some dad-dancing shapes. They were fine throughout the gig, then millions of people tune in and everything goes tits up.

And of course Wire failing to smash that bass...

Yeah, of all the songs for that to happen on, it really was unfortunate.

Haven't actually seen it but the thought of it makes me laugh - the time James told a cameraman to 'Get out of my fucking way!' at Slane Castle (I think it was! Correct me if I'm wrong!).

Cardiff CIA - January 2005 - a drunken Nicky Wire takes over vocals of Motown Junk for half the song. Hilarity ensues
