This is the most amount of exclamation marks you've used in a single post, ever.
Why would i want to help you go see mcfly without me????
And technically speaking you can drink too... I did in the pub last night...with louise's id...
so, speaking (typing)of mcfly, danny was obviously in a cheerful mood in this interview (you've probably seen it...)

VICKI'S LIST OF DO'S AND DON'TS OF TRAVELING (PARTICULARLY ENGLAND AND FRANCE)
DON'T act like and obnoxious american tourist, it pisses me off, it must piss everyone else off.
DON'T use buses unless you grew up using them, you WILL get lost and end up in the red light district.
DO use friendly modes of travel eg. the tube or train. The tube is particularly user friendly as there are little maps everywhere on the walls in the stations. Then follow where the arrows point (usually above or next to the maps). The tube stops for a SHORTER amout of time than the train. You don't need to RUN to get on, but it's a good idea to move, and, btw, you look stupid to those riding the tube when before you get on you take a picture of the tube. just in case you were wondering.
DO go ahead and ask for help in train stations from the men in the neon vests, like, say you want to know where the train to basingstoke is, ask and they'll say "platfom 9".
DO buy a ticket. In england, you can't jump over the barriers (although in france you can, but you look stupid if you havent done it before and get stuck... my dad was REALLY good at it.... hmmm.....)
DO hold on to the handle bars in whatever mode of transportation you are on. it looks stupid tripping and falling over.
DO figure out where you are going and how you're getting there BEFORE leaving wherever you are staying. It suck standing in the rain trying to figure out how to get from the science museum to liechester square (and you'll probably accidentally bring you entire family through the red lights district, not that THAT'S ever happened to me.)
more...
DO know some french. People are suddenly much nicer to you...
DON'T order 4 cheeses pizza in france, unless you don't mind having four of those circular things of cheese melted onto your pizza...
DO BRING AND UMBRELLA EVERYWHERE!!! epecially anywhere north of cornwall...
DO take a BILLION picture of McFly, otherwise vicki will shoot you.
DO bring back magazines with them in it for vicki to also read. (this generally means shamlessly picking up magazines for 10 year olds like 'go girl' and 'hot'. I'm sorry. I've been doing it for years). Especailly since their new single is coming out shortly before you are there which means there will be stuff in magazines and on the radio (you know how exciting it is to hear them on the radio, it's like thinking you hear busted on radio disney, but better because it's not really the jonas brothers...)
DO illegally record the mcfly concert without being caught so you can give a pirated copy to vicki.
DO consule vicki as she wails 'i wanna go to the v festival.... and t4 on the beach and... you get the idea...
btw, did you know harry and dougie smoke... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
we should get together the weekend i'm back to try and plan your trip together... so you don't die...
i have more, i just can't remember, so i'll post them when i do...
DO bring allergy tablets or and oxygen mask to paris. Otherwise you might end up like me coughing everywhere...
