anyone seen them out and about?

[lovesean4ever]

I mean when you've been out shopping or whatever, have you spotted Nicky or Sean with wife and kids, James popping into a pub (or standing outside one smoking!). Be nice to hear people's "spotted" stories !

[The Gutless Wonder]

I haven't yet. My hopes of spotting them in London over the weekend were dashed. Nevermind, eh?

[Takk]

Tis a big place! People often seem to see nicky in places like boots in newport!

Selfridges in London was a hotspot for a while as well!

wonder if he'll do his xmas shopping in there. Should I make a regular pilgrimage Just.In.Case. ?

I'd never go up to him in any case so my *spotted* story would be rubbish

I'd be scared of making a complete fool of myself!

I would never have the nerve to speak to them anyhow

Me neither - it's one thing to hang around after a gig, or to meet them at a signing - when they've made it clear that they're happy to talk to fans - but another thing entirely to approach them when they're just going about their day-to-day lives.

I agree. I'd be too scared they'd tell me to fuck off. They'd have every right to of course as I'd be bothering them but i'd be utterly crushed if that happened so no i won't bother em. Ever.

I saw James at a Cardiff Blues game a couple of weeks back but i didn't go up to him or anything

I'm sure they wouldn't do that, they are nice people and as far as I remember people always say they are happy to talk to people.

But I think it depends on the situation a bit, although I pretty much agree with nicola. If you bumped into one of them whilst shopping, i think it would be ok, but if they were with their family, I think leaving them alone would be the right thing to do.

You have to be careful though as I always figured I'd do the not talking to them thing then one day I walked past James on the street and I thought I'll just be cool and nonchalant and not acknowledges this so just kinda kept my head down a bit and walked by. But then he smiled and I felt like little miss rude and evil about it - so possibly some kind of knowing nod/smile is the best plan - probably not the deranged fan big grin thing though.

I think everyone almost has met Wire in a Boots at some point though haven't they? Its a tragedy the points his missing not having an advantage card.

He's a *special* boy though, tends to go in for that spotting manics fan thing instead - then either accuses them of ignoring him or asks random questions about it the next day.

I saw James on the tube once, or rather at a station I was geting off at. When I noticed him I tried very hard to pretend I hadn't or that I was not remotely bothered so I looked down at my boots unfortuntely I looked up, just to see where I was going, right as I was passing him, I looked straight at him with a startled expression. Well done me. Luckily he just smirked. I walked off feeling an idiot.

Nicky hangs out of car windows and bothers fans when they are going about their business. With no makeup on.
