Is it just me? Is there anybody else out there?? Surely there must be someone else who cringes every time they hear this line:

“I’ll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could coexist.”

That fucks me off so much because the correct grammar - which is the same number of fucking syllables too - would be:

“I’ll walk you through the apocalypse
Where you and I could coexist.”

I don't cringe but stupidly grin as I know someone called Colleen who (before the song was released) preferred to be called "Co" and not "Coll".
I haven't mentioned one word about this song or Manic Street Preachers to her out of diplomacy.

Nicky knows what he's doing

On today's sales flash (September 15), Official Charts Company data reveals that Manic Street Preachers' lead has been cut in half, with Steps not going down without a fight, narrowing their rivals' margin to just 1,500 chart sales.

Interesting. Yesterday I was told the Manics were only 1,000 copies ahead. Maybe the lead has grown again slightly. Two days of sales left...

Now go for the jugular, Nicky, and pay S Club 7 to reunite. Break H from Steps. Destroy his will to fight. Finish him. Reach for the stars.

The lead was only 1,000 copies yesterday, seems like the Manics have gone ahead again but only slightly. I think the Q&A+gig bundle did it. I just bought myself a poster bundle so there's an extra copy sold today!
