WHAT A STAR!
America, the highlights... Well, one has to be meeting an old mate from home in the New York Disney Store, completely be accident!
Another was the musical Les Miserables playing in the theatre across the street, and then us doing a photoshoot in Central Park! I saw fireflies for the first time - I'd no idea what they were, glowing in front of me! They don't bite - but they do burn, ho ho!

MICHAEL AND ME!
What can I say! I met Michael Jackson when he was performing in Dublin - and, yeah, he did look weird! He said, 'Hello!' - and I said 'Hello, thanks for meeting me' and he said, 'No problem!' I met his mum too. She sat in front of me during the performance, watching her family videos on the screen - the Jackson Five, Janet, everyone. Brilliant!

HERR BEAN!
We did the Mr Bean premiere in London - I loved the movie, couldn't stop laughing - but then a few weeks later we had to go to the German prmiere too - the dialogue was dubbed into German, and everyone talked like that old TV series Heidi. Very strange.

OOPS...
There's one bit in the film Mr Bean where he's on a flight simulator-thing. I'd just been on a simulator in San Antonio, and he did all the same daft things that I did... All I'll say is that it was just like watching myself... uh-oh, do you think I'm turning into Mr Bean?

AND NEVER AGAIN!
We've just been go-karting - and I don't like go-karting cos the other lads always run me into the tyre barriers and I always finish last! I'm putting my foot down and saying next time, we have to go bowling, ice skating or sailing... mind you, I can't ice skate either!

EXCLUSIVE WIN!
Listen up, because I have a very special Hard Rock Cafe basaball cap, signed by us all, to give away as a souvenir of our trip to America. To win, just tell me the title of our Hercules song...

Anyway! I'm running off to lunch now. I've kept Shane waiting downstairs for ages already. Until next time, take care!

God Bless, Steve xx
