It's the first line of doings warwick's 'walk on by', in response to lookes original post. He has since edited it to include a YouTube link thus rendering my own post slightly less comprehensible.

I don't agree that he'd necessarily be easy to recognise. We have no idea how he's aged, whether he's put one weight, grown a beard, changed his hair...

If I did see him, I'd probably just assume it wasn't him and ignore him.

If I did see him and recognise him, I'd probably become so overwhelmed I wouldn't know what to do and miss an amazing opportunity. But opportunity for what? I doubt he'd want anybody coming up to him and recognising him. Though it's nice to dream...

I'd have to leave him be. On Saturday round back of the gig Nicky was about 3ft away from me and I didn't have the balls to say anything, never mind try and get through the swarm. There's no way I'd approach Richey.

One way or another, whether he topped himself, went to a monastry, Goa, whatever... he must've been sick of being "Richey from Manics", left that behind, probably wouldn't want his face rubbing in it again.

I doubt I'd be entirely convinced it was him; I'd probably tell myself it wasn't. But even if I was 100% certain it was Richey, there's no way in Hell I'd approach him. It would be the last thing he'd probably want and I would hate to come across as some kind of obsessional Manics fan who'd been stalking him or something.

That said, I'd possibly watch to see where he went and if I was utterly, completely convinced it was him, I'd have an urge to tell someone.

I'd leave him to it, it wouldn't be my place to do anything about it IMO.

I'd just assume it was a look-a-like and keep on walking. Well I'd the same thing even if was 100 % sure it was him.

Seeing a zombie Richey walking around would definitely be an eye-catching sight.

I'd ask him what he thinks of New Labour.
