We're back at home, we've got two days off, I'm lying in bed with Paula," Geldof recalls. "We all share a big house outside London in Chessington. It must have been 10am. The manager bursts in and goes 'Get up!' I say 'Why?' He goes 'F**king number one!' And I really almost cried, y'know? I couldn't believe it. It was like you see in a movie. I leapt out of bed. I only had my undies on. We were all in the hall, all these wives and transitory girlfriends and the road crew, and we just ran out in the garden and went mad. But what happened was ten minutes later I went 'F**k! Now what?' Cos that's it, its all over. Number one is number one, top of the world, ma. It's downhill after that. So that was very Geldof ten minutes and then 'F**k'!"
This is the house where they learned that they were No.1 I wonder if anyone still has a photo of them all running about in the garden.
