i'm guessing that isn't really an issue

Don't feel like an idiot. I missed my flight to the O2 gig (as i got my times wrong) and had to pay double what I had originally paid for my flight to get to London - but I got there (and got 2nd row after 30 minutes of queuing).

Plus I once travelled 3 hours to an airport to find I had booked London to Malaga instead of Malaga to London. I had to travel the 3 hours back like a gimp.

Seconded and seconded, you deserve maximum enjoyment if only for turning the business of going to a gig into a taut edge-of-seat thriller

Had a great time.

Had to wait 4 hours at Alexanderplatz and then 5 hours at the airport, but I didn't care as I'd got to see the gig.

It was brilliant, enjoyed it even more than 02, was more intimate and I thought Huxley's was a great venue.

Enjoyed Nicky's attempts at speaking German too. (This effort to connect with their fans shows why they are the greatest band in the world)

Once again, thanks for everybodys help and support.

Hopefully I'll see you all at a Manics gig back in the UK one day
