Simon now has a "The angels have the phone box" sticker on his bass. He previously had one that said "Saving the world has never been so ginger". Both are Doctor Who references. As a lifelong Who fan, this thrills me to no end. :)

Update: He's also had a
"Come Along Pond" sticker on his white bass, and also
wrote that on his arm.
(Thanks Charlotte Sometimes)
Update (10/21/13): Yet another Doctor Who reference from Simon, and further proof of his awesomeness. See those
sets of marks on his arm? He must have run into
The Silence quite a few times in Austin! ;) Thanks to Rev. Heron for sending the photo, and to Fuji for taking it at Austin City Limits on Oct. 5th.
Update (03/31/14): And his latest Who
sticker,
A Good Man Goes To War, was displayed at the Royal Albert Hall
shows on March 28th & 29th, 2014. Thanks to Perfect.Murder for
spotting it, and to Olivier at
It's A Perfect Day for the photo.
Update (5/30/14): No change at the BottleRock show. Still has A Good Man Goes To War sticker.
This is really fun! Have there been any other DW stickers or markings that I've missed?
Awww. I'd feel the same way if he were into "Battlestar Galactica". Ah, well, he IS an "Inspector Morse" fan, as he wrote on thecure.com in the late '90s, and I'm a bigger fan of that show, since I've gotten older, so I can appreciate the show more; I bought the DVDs a couple of years ago. They don't make shows like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlso has the word Domestique written down his arm. With Simon being a keen cyclist I assume it relates to a cycling Domestique who supports and assists his team leader in a race.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that explanation - I was wondering if he was having issues at home, haha!!
DeletePersonally, I think Simon is secretly The Doctor. He looks remarkably like David Tennant! He must be a Time Lord to look that ageless, really.
ReplyDeleteThe new Doctor is announced at 7.30 on Sunday night. Maybe he was giving a clue it will be him. I think it was The Prayer Tour when they mentioned that they killed time on the bus watching old Dr Who VHSs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, when they announced that special for Sunday night, I knew the new Doctor wouldn't be Robert or Simon, as they'll be at Lollapalooza at that time.
DeleteThen again, the Doctor CAN manipulate time, so... :)
He also had "Come along, Pond" sticker which is also a Doctor Who reference
ReplyDeleteOh where/when was that one? I missed it.
DeleteI think it was on his white bass. I think it was in Vieilles Charrues last year

Deleteit also looks like he wrote it on his arm: http://24.media.tumblr.com/5858663314eecf84ebd7002bce49b3bf/tumblr_mgfri8A4pE1rmdeqio1_1280.jpg
Thank you so much! Completely missed those. I wonder if he'll be watching tonight's announcement? :)
Deleteas a huge cycling fan, I find the domestique reference to be brilliant because that's exactly the part he plays with the cure, Roberts super-domestique!
ReplyDeleteI think that there shouldn't be a question mark on the title to this one, as it's pretty clear he is a fan. No question!!
