HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE.
Yes, it's my eldest niece's birthday today which always puts me in mind of one of the best gigs I've attended.
Manchester Arena 8th April '98
As a devoted and loving uncle, I had promised to take Nic to see the Spice Girls should they ever tour. Now in my defence, this was said after they had released "Wannabe" and I genuinely thought they would be one hit wonders. Shows how much I knew.
So I had the phone call, "Uncle Simon, they're touring" and I did the decent thing. Only issue was, I couldn't drive. Step forward Rob, a friend who said he'd drive us, if he could go see them too.
Sorted.
So we went, and it was wonderful.
They sang, sometimes out of tune proving it was live, they danced, and thousands of young girls screamed, cried, and blew whistles. And Rob and myself had a blast (apart from the fucking whistles).
Happy Birthday Nicole
Lots of Love
Uncle Simon x
The rest of you
TTFN
Sime.
