Was at Headingley today for two excellent games. The 19 year olds had a great time, which is I think the point.

That’s because he was busy doing something close to nothing, but different to the day before. He deserves to be fired.

Yeah, but we still hate it. So it serves its generational purpose.

Great book.
I would be more interested in this one if it went up to date. I guess there is a market in us old folks who remember Smashy and Nicey (and cheered when they went), but it was a quarter of a century […]

I’m not a big fan (thought The Jam were the best band in the world for about a year, Style Council were ok, wild Wood very nice and that’s it) but this is excellent. The three disc version too!

Bingley festival in August just been put back another year…

If they do, then I have Pixies Timeless Stars at Newcastle Poly – my 27th birthday (also broadcast on BBC) which I attended with my ex and her new man.

What were people thinking?

She’s a WeeGee, I’m from posh Edinburgh… (and yes she’s actually from Wishaw ish, and Edinburgh isn’t that posh and… I’m from Hull)

GLW did it and discovered she comes from Cambusnethan. Like, totally. Even her Irish grandfather it turns out came from a family originally from Cambusnethan. She is surprised she doesn’t have six f […]
