Watch out! Nicky is behind you

Nicky is behind you, and he’s serving early 90s, polytechnic JCR realness.

Yeah, Nicky, sexy pose, Wire is behind you. But you know what else? So is Sean.

And Marx.

Marx is behind you. People of the world behind big Jimbo unite! You have nothing to lose but your forced perspective in these photos.

Excuse me

Nicky is behind you, and this time he’s tapping you on the shoulder. For fucks sake man, he’s been behind you for decades, how hard would it be to just turn around and notice him? He’s always gotta be tickling your neck, licking your ear, nibbling your...no wait. What. Submitted by @pantomimeemptimess

Grinning inanely, looking like he’s not yet sure if to hurdle big Jim or mount him

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Nicky got the ‘hoods up’ memo, but not the one about looking moody.  Totally disrupting mood of entire photo, all from behind.  Good work Wire.

Nicky experiments with the pirate-look, supported by unsuspecting James and Sean. Arrr me hearty’s etc.

Nicky squinting at the camera there in a way which seems to say "maybe all those sunglasses are prescription" Everyone else remembered their contacts.

@engagewithyourshadow says: Don’t think this excellent NIBY has been posted yet! Has James even noticed?

I don’t think he has! Nicky is having another transformative moment, James is oblivious. As is Sean.

After a certain point you just become numb to nicky doing weird things behind you

[nicky-is-behind-you]

I think if we've learnt anything over the history of NIBY, we've learnt precisely this.

The Manics are just so. Done. With Nicky's shit.

[nicky-is-behind-you]

So. Many. Nicky-attacks-from-behind photos. Clear scope for a spin off Tumblr.

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Attack from behind! Adorable, adorable attack.

MANY Nicky’s are behind you. Which is probably why James is looking so worried. Double trouble init

@manicmynci submitted this and said: Just because it’s ridiculously amusing…

I’ve got absolutely nothing to add to that. Nicky-is-behind-you-inception. Nicky-ception.

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Thanks to @manicmynci for this and a number of other brilliant submissions.

In this key moment in Manics history, Nicky stands behind James, and appears surprised to find a bass around his neck and contemplates a future in a band where he can pull silly faces.

[goldalarm]

The difference in intensity levels is killing me. Nick’s like I’m in a band? And James is I AM BECOME BAND DESTROYER OF

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Yes! This is one of my favourite element of the best NIBYs - a totally different mood/intensity level. This is especially good for low key Nicky versus intensely intense James.

[jakegyllenhxck]

Nicky’s like, “Wow. Wot a nice thing i found. I will call it a bass” and richey’s like, “Woah, James look, nicky’s found a bass!” And james can’t hear him because his soul is orgasmically ascending into the heavens.

[nicky-is-behind-you]

This. So much this.

[increasinglywired-deactivated20]

I like to think for a brief moment Nicky was considering doing a Jimi Hendrix only that would fuck up his beautiful beautiful teeth because its a FUCKING BASS and then he thought better of it XD

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Strongest explanation yet. Extremely consistent characterisation of Nicky’s decision making.

[nicky-is-behind-you]

Is....is someone behind Nicky here?

Thanks to @inbetweenacceptanceandrage for this photo. Lurking WAY behind Maximo Park on 1st Sep 2017 at Bingley Music Festival, is our hero, Nicky fucking Wire.  In typical Wire style, he’s entirely oblivious to the fact he is visible despite being behind someone. Strong content.
