Live from outside the Apple Store Trafford Centre, Manchester.Well not long to go now – and I’m sat here getting a numb behind on this marble floor!It’s 12:20 and I’m 6th in line. I thought I was a touch insane, but the two guys at the front have been here since 8am this morning.More updates to follow.
13:20 – My behind is really numb already – but we keep smiling.12:51 still only nine in the queue – so no crowd trouble for the bouncers yet!
15:00 – MikeT plays Superman and reveals his MacBites garb
*Looks like he changed in the toilets to me!!*
15:40 Battery running low now, both the laptop and mine – but here are some more pic
Oh, there are about 40 in the queue now
17:20 There’s now around 200 in the queue – more arriving as I type.
I’ll make this the last post as Batt is low and it’s nearly time.
17:30 BTW Just for the occasion, get on to iTunes and buy Perfect Timing (This Morning) by Orba Squara
19:40 Home at last, but not even opened it yet – Elaine and MikeT insisted I post the final pic from the Trafford Centre
Now down to the activation. Hopefully I’ll post with iPhone in a short while.
What you mean is that you were late joining the queue!!
Elaine *stuck in a seminar but on my way soon*
And I’m stuck at work on a W*!*dows machine, having had to explain to some of my colleagues what an iPhone is!!
MikeT … that’s suffering!!
Elaine
But I do have my MacBites T-Shirt on under my shirt and tie – ready to whip it off later!
Good grief … Superman lives!!
Elaine *thinking we need pictures of the grand unveiling … or then again maybe not 😉 *

Looking good there MikeB … only 4 hours and 25 minutes to go – shall I bring a cushion for you? LOL
