if it wasn't horribly damaged (it survived a fire but moving house damaged it) I'd genuinely send you my old poster. I had this one, it's sat in my wardrobe because I'd feel awful if I threw it away, but it's not nice enough to give to anybody

Imo we can only police our own actions to ensure that we abide by our own moral code. This dad probably thought he was being polite by not disturbing them, he may have reasoned that he would have preferred that if he were in their place. Also I believe it was the daughter that shared them not him? He was just doing something nice for his child by taking a few snaps of these grown men who make their living by selling their own likeness and likability.

As we know being a fan is by it's very nature invasive, this whole forum is dedicated to – respectful for the most part – chat and speculation about them, which I love by the way... I have never engaged in such classics as 'the zoom in on grainy pictures of the outside of their hotel room, which shows a vague impression of a bed', nah huh, not me (yes me) I'm innocent your honour; but as we all know other people can think we are a 'creepy bunch'. However I think these dad shots are very different from pictues taken by someone whose stalked them specifically to try and get a certain type of shot/proof.

Anyway, sorry to prattle on, I didn't really mean to go on about this specific set of pics, more the fact that youtubers in general are very casual about taking pictures of other non consenting members of the public in the course of vlogging etc, and think nothing of it, but they and often their fans don't like it the other way around. (I may be weird but I would hate to find myself around people who were vlogging). Do they even need for us to be over protective about being the subject of a candid picture? Personally I don't think so.

Also, let us not forget our boy Daniel is not averse to taking the odd candid celebrity shot himself, Psy in the lift anyone (failed admittedly)?

The people on before (no clue who it was whoops) were doing impressions of a bunch of YTers and this was their D&P impression:

Just going for the cheapest joke basically
(but I wasn't watching for the whole set, maybe it was the same for everyone they did idk)

I dont think they lied.
They lie to protect themselves, but not for content
this is my first post here, been lurking for a while and im not a native english speaker so, sorry if this doesnt make sense

Wait, Dan and Phil were shouting at each other? On stage? Like, in a bickering sort of way? Or did the twitter replies not say? So many questions...

I'll probably end up watching at least part of it, especially if that is the case. I hope it's not, but that's the kind of stuff I want to see firsthand as opposed to just rely on someone elses' account, if possible. Either way, I'm sure it's just due to nerves/exhaustion and I hope people don't blow it out of proportion. (Although I do totally understand not being able to watch it!)

It was in a jokey sort of way! They'd never acc have an argument on stage aha. They asked the audience whos fault they thought it was (and ofc the audience thought it was Dans fault, which Dan was expecting from the beginning ), then Dan went in for the joke that it was the drivers fault and Phil hilariously replied something along the lines of "No, it was all Dan's fault"

They were jokingly roasting each other throughout for Dan leaving his passport in a pair of jeans that he'd packed and Phil booking the taxi on GMT rather than BST time.

It's quite an amusing story imo, if you scroll down updatedphan on twitter there's a periscope of the whole show, Dan and Phil are right at the end (around 1 hour 20 min in, I believe).

Also this is how I watched it, if you can deal with some pretty loud screaming at the end the video is in really good quality and you can hear everything.

They told the story very well, they really spark off each other and make some great voices and poses. Phil's surprisingly sharp with stories like this. Dan only gets blamed with a louder cheer cos everyone still thinks Phil's an innocent angel, though

That security guard does look amused. They must just wonder at who these guys are who are most popular to get such screams from the audience.

LtrllySusan wrote:Something i just noticed: In the video linked some posts above, at around 12:10, Dan said something like "L.A. traffic, here we are for 3 weeks".
More secret holidays planned?

This is literally one of the few things I remember from Psychology A-Level but don't all London taxi drivers know London so well that it is biologically measurable in their brain? Like their hippocampus is larger than it is in a 'normal' person.

The only way I can see the taxi driver bit being true is if they used Uber or something, do non black cab drivers have to have The Knowledge?

[offtopic]Now I really want a story about a team of superheroes, and one of their members is just a completely normal guy who has a superpower-like knowledge of London's layout from his special taxi driver-sized hippocampus. [/offtopic]

In the video, didn't they mention that the taxi driver was new? Or was that just Dan speculating/making a joke? We don't have taxi drivers in my area so I'm not really familiar with how they operate, and whether or not a taxi driver that truly inexperienced would be allowed to work.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they don't keep their passports together, and Dan had both of them.

I don't see why they'd lie about the taxi driver getting lost when they could've just blamed it on Phil booking the cab an hour later. Plus, shouting out at the protestors to "Get a real job" ... sounds pretty realistic, sadly. Hilarious in the story though. Maybe it's just been my experience with them, but London cab drivers really are the most talkative and willing to break the regular awkward social boundaries (remember Dan and Louise's story about when a motorbike rammed into their taxi and the driver just got out? Good times ).

I'm guessing the cab driver might've said "I'm new, so sorry if I do *blahblahblah* wrong" at the beginning of the journey.

The other idea is that he just took them on a really shitty route (some sat nav routes are so stupid man, why can't they just turn around instead of having to do a full circle around a block? ) because he wasn't familiar with the area and didn't know any shortcuts, good routes etc. therefore it was determined that he was new.
