Pet Shop Boys Community

A FB poster called them the Wet Shop Boys. I had a bloody brilliant time last night in Preston. I've seen Dreamworld loads of times but Preston will be a stand out (along with Leeds of course). Everyone looked like drowned rats, some excited, some less so. Met these great people from Blackpool who were a real laugh. I got there a bit before Sister Sledge, and people started leaving, so I got to the second row by the time PSB came on. Honestly, Preston Dreamworld was one cracking party. With fireworks at the end! At the train station, you could tell who'd come from Moor Park. Funny Girls was a lot of sweaty fun, but a different crowd. Oh god, and I did buy the rock. Why did I do that? What am I going to do with that?

I like rock... (*bats eyelashes*)

Wet Shop Boys would be an excellent name for a por... no, I'm not going there.

Also big thanks to our Scottish pal on Friday who brought bags full of groceries for folks in the queue, who was dubbed the Tuck Shop Boy

A guy I used to work with who was on my FB page called them the Wet Shop Boys in a derogatory way (as in "wet behind the ears"). Needless to say he is no longer a FB friend.

The BBC Preston Video recording is very poorly made. Almost none Chris is shown in this Stream. Glastonbury recording wasn't any better. hurry Up Dreamworld BluRay Release

Not sure if anyone has posted elsewhere but there is an interview with Chris and Neil in the afternoon before the show.

They are on just after 1hr 43 mins and sound in a very good mood.

I want some Crunchy Nut Cornflakes now.

Not Marmite though, I'm a hater.

Neil cannily steering the conversation around to how Radio 2 are playing Feel in the hotel restaurant! You can have some fun with this...

"You make me feel like / eating some breakfast"

"You make me feel like / Crunchy Nut Cornflakes"

"You make me feel like / yog'n'granola"

"I would never eat Marmite / I would hate..."

(Not me, I love the Marms.)

That video of It’s a sin from Funny Girls made me smile and I also found it so moving - a reminder of how lucky we are! It must have been so magical being there! I really hope they bring the full show to the US and other parts of the world next year - would love to see them here in NYC in a smaller venue….

Well said. I’ll be there with you (here in NYC)!

I bought a box of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and some Marmite crisps as a compromise. I'm so suggestible.
