Greatest moment of my ENTIRE life. I know, I know, I'm prone to exaggeration, but this is not a joke. I repeat NOT. A. JOKE. I was four feet from Chris Martin. He sang four feet from my FACE.
We got to Wembley before the gates opened -- so worth it -- and ended up pressed against the barriers with a group of soccer hooligans. The legitimate kind, the sort of round ones with no hair and scars. The kind that say "OI!" and call every girl in their vicinity "chickey."
The hooligans kept us safe. When one boy tried to push her way through one of the hooligans said, direct quote, "Oi, I'm watching you. Don't push my American girl who has been here since 3. You step back and there will be no trouble. I don't want no trouble, but there might be some trouble if you don't watch out."
Richard called it, "Another day in paradise." Right on Daddy.
Looks like things are really going you way, Had. Could you send your old uncle your London address? Snail Mail still works best for some things.
