gritty northern dramas

my visit to manchester took a brush with fame yesterday when a film crew turned up outside the door. finally fame had found me, i thought. alas it was not to be, seems they were filming an episode of the griity crime drama (is there any other kind in britain) called Vincent. So i didn't feel i could really turn on the tv when there was a tv programme going on live outside the house so i sat and watched for a good while. quite impressed by Ray Winstone being there (of King Arthur, sexy beast and even teh voice of Mr beaver in narnia!). Kt reckoned we might be able to get a bit of cash if we sent some 'spotted' pictures to Heat magazine so we did a bit of papazarri from the windows.

and yes i finally got a ticket to the flaming lips gig. well bought it oin ebay so i'll have o hope it arrives in time.
