"Do a U-ey! DO A U-EY!"

Thanks, Rob Brydon, for the quote of the day...

So, Cardiff was megafun and needs a supermassive black bloghole to prove it.

- Started off at 8am and no maps. Left at 10am, and spent three hours singing and dancing to The Audition.
- "HEEEY, MISS MERTHYR CAN I? HEEEEY, MISS MERTHYR CAN I? TAKE MY SHEEP!"
- Deciding to make video diaries every hour (fail) and trying to get as many people as possible in them (more on that later)
- Arriving at the venue in the middle of a fucking blizzard and standing with about 7 other people
- Going to Wetherspoons for cheap as chips... well, chips and warmth!
- There were drink holders in the cubicles!
- Vikki's gormless "I'm putting on my makeup now" look
- Hearing a beep,and then jumping when we saw something moved. It was the airfreshener.
- Seeing Susie for the first time since September and meeting her crazy friends
- Chatting to The Blackout while we were cold - lots of warm hugs, and Bob recognised me and sight and asked how my arm was, then cutched my head.
- Giving Matthew the evil Blackout cupcakes
- Going to Costa... and having Bob stalk us there.
- Getting out Sharpies in the middle of Costa and sharpie-ing tattoos on each other!
- Talking to the Blackout while freezing (seriously, Gav stood on my foot and I didn't notice)
- Getting into the venue and standing by the heater to unfreeze
- The guy at the desk being blind enough to miss A. Luff and Vikki panicking
- Walking up three flights of stairs with dead feet
- Getting Jay in the video diary
- Showing Jay all the sharpie tattoos and seeing him eye up Vikki XD
- Ispystrangers were pretty good, lead singer was epic...
- Meeting Marianne Harris in the gig
- Dopamine being interesting
- One of the techs looking like Matthew's nerdy little brother
- The fucking Blackout finally getting onstage
- "We'd really like it if you'd sing along to this one. If you don't know the words just make them up. And if you can't make it up then just mime it, or snog the person next to you"
- "Naah, Goffs don't enjoy Christmas. They only enjoy being sad."
- The immense pain of Save Ourselves where Vikki got stood on the head.
- Ringing Sam for the last three songs and having Sean hang up by licking my phone (eewww, STIs)
- Vikki getting a solo in Children Of The Night
- Matthew looking dead (he had a lethal cupcake?)
- "Come and party like a chav!"
- Fucking crowdsurfers trying to kill us >.> They did our heads in (literally)
- STAGE INVANSION! On stage, next to Sean, screaming into his microphone with him
- Getting massive Jay hugs, and Vikki bagging free badges
- Snoz and Rhys on the video
- Showing Snoz the tattoos and him looking confused.
- Getting a picture with Rhys: "Cuddle me, bitch!"
- Giving out presents to Panda, Ashleigh and Bee (who I didn;t really get to talk to... but hopefully things aren't too bad)
- Failing at sneaking into the afterparty
- Walking back to the TraveLodge and meeting Rhys and his girlfriend on the way back, who asked if we had enough money for our rooms and was really concerned.
- Bending the truth... "Yes, Dad, we're at the hotel now. Hi". And then leaving the hotel ten minutes later.
- Kettle Chips: Saviours
- Trudging back to the venue feeling anticlimactic
- Waiting outside with Frances and a Polish girl
- Everyone loading into the van and giving us warm cuddles
- Snoz: What're you doing here?
Rhys: I thought you went to the Travelodge
Me: We did... we came back. My dad thinks we're in bed.
Snoz: Good stuff, good stuff!
- "Jay, can you pan the camera around in the back for the diary?" (me) "Nope, they're all having sex." (Jay) "True." (*sex noises* Bob) "Do you remember when you nearly got arrested for making sex noises?" (Jay)
- Elton John getting stolen by the Polish girl from Jay, who offered her silver hairspray (spray paint) and a punch in the face is she gave him back
- Singing allong to The Fratellis as Jay drove off and nearly crashed
- Waiting in the venue - yay, heater!
- Homeless dog outside ripping apart paper bags
- Rupert/Mikey White, from Ispystrangers, hanging out with us.
- Being selfconcious with the kittyhat and wanting to see the picture
- Befriending a gay cloakroom manager, called Rhys Lewis (or Slug) - ("Is that a homeless snail or a naked one?")
- Slug writing V + Vikki: FABULOUS on his hand
- Being little meet and greeters to improve the ambiance and making lots of friends, shaking hands and getting hugs and wishing everyone a happy new year
- "I never take off my beanie... but I will for that kitty hat!" and talking about the guy he chucked out
- Learning Welsh words... "Caerdydd" is Cayer-deethhhhhh"and learnign the Welsh for "up the bum no baby"
- Vikki convincing Slug she was from Glasgow (he guessed she was Scottish)
- "Now, stop with all this self-depreciation, we're all fabulous people"
- The careful description of a blue Barber jacket for a guy who'd lost his ticket
- Seeing the security guard turn his back and legging it into the party!
- The bloody empty bottles against the wall
- Seeing Ian and Sean DJ... hahahahahahaha
- Finding the girl who bit Meg
- Aled "Le Tramp" Phillips on the tour diary, and "Calvin with a Klein"
- Back to Slug for chats
- Missing Yan because of Slug
- Mobbing Sean in the alleyway
- "Your phone number is 0800-STI-STD"; "Don't rape Sean!" "I won't, I don't want the STIs!"
- "Put a serious face on, we're Goffs and we hate life"
- The silver sharpie being a source of fascination. Well, simple minds...
- Mikey hugs (he picked Vikki up and ran off with her, then picked up Panda and felt her arse) and Slug hugs (he picked me up and swung me round)
- Eyeing up Sean's car:
Vikki: Oh you don't earn much then.
Crowd: Oooh!
- Vikki getting the last hug, with a hug face-off and a My Passion Simon impression
-Sean actually trying to run me over. It was terrifying. He had his teeth gritted and looked like someone had just told him Ian Watkins was straight.
- Racing Sean down the road and winning, and him either waving at us or swearing... then realising he had gone the wrong way and reversing up the road again
- Profusely singing "4AM FORRREVEEEERRR!" walking back to the hotel
- Being unable to open the door due to early-onset zombification (or concussion)
- Quick snooze
- The mental images... Snoz as a bouncer, them all as waiters serving us Sean and Rhys stew, and working out which of the guys was the best big brother (Snoz)

Just found all the guys on Facebook and added them, and Mikey has come said hi to us already :) And we sung The Audition and Lostprophets all the way home XD And "A Little Piece Of Heaven" as a tribute to the Rev.
