A lovely farewell to Margate with a lovely afternoon tea with some lovely ladies at my favourite hotel on earth. Will miss this town and the dearest @suchasinistergame so much. Wish it wasn’t over x
I think they’re a fairly similar height, but Peter doesn’t always stand up as straight as John, that’s true, haha. They’re both over 6’ anyway so pretty tall! Sorry this answer was less than enlightening, haha
On the same topic, Peter was mega into Mic Righteous’s set at Wheels & Fins! He came onstage and introduced him (told us off for not being enthusiastic enough at first, sorry Peter, i only looked up from my phone when i heard people pop and realised Peter was right there lol) and watched his set from the side of the stage, and he looked enthralled throughout like a little boy, it was so cute! And he was also eating like a massive sandwich or burger or something, lol.
I don’t know if anyone has already said this, and it’s going to show the true height/depth of my nerdery, but one of my little highlights of Wheels & Fins was seeing Peter and Carl standing together at the side of the stage during John Power’s set and just chatting and laughing and enjoying the music with each other. That’s the stuff of my fangirl dreams, just seeing them interacting together naturally.
I took a quick random picture cos apparently my shame levels are, like Carl’s Weibo score, in deficit.
Oh i should tell my meeting Peter story too right? Haha sorry for forgetting you Peter! Well, I’d looked out of our hotel room window about 8.30am and seen him going across the road from his car to the Albion Rooms, then later we saw him outside chatting to people, and eventually we headed down to hang outside there as well, a perfect time filler before the festival! He kept coming and going, talking to people and getting distracted, but he was on great form and very funny, intentionally and otherwise, lol. I thought it was very welcoming of him to turn to me and say hello before i even approached him, and i was able to give him my silly gift of two of old Sheffield United v QPR football match programmes (that i found in the same charity shop as Carl’s record, haha). He did exactly what i hoped he would, and looked at one of the players’ lists and started recalling them, even telling us a little anecdote about one of them (called Karl something lol) who was a very snappy dresser, haha. He asked me if i remembered the players, but I told him i didn’t know anything about football, i just wanted to give him a nostalgic moment, haha. Just like Carl he was very gracious and happy to talk to people and ask them questions, there’s never a lack of conversation with these boys!
