Vegan options- Tofu truncheon perhaps, or Quorn quill?

As the hail came down on Thursday afternoon I thought to myself “thank god it’s nearly the cricket season.” I live in a bit of town that’s right next to a league football ground and a premiership rugby ground. […]

Thanks for sharing this. I had a dream last night that I went to see Wilco and I was allowed to play with Tweedy’s guitar pedals (one of which was kept in a cage). Bit miffed when the alarm went off.

Working for the NHS made it a pretty interesting time. I volunteered at one of the Wuhan resettlement sites, where 150 people had been flown back to the UK and were quarantining. It was a couple of fascinating […]

@salwarpe having read your post I’m thinking of going back to Forged Prescriptions for the first time in a long time. Should be a good commute home later.

I see that Raye, real name Rachel Keen, is favoured by His Royal Highness King Charles, real name Brian-

Ooh, that’s a good ‘un.

There’s a chain of coffee shops locally called Bewitched. Whenever we’re on a trip to town I’ll ask Mrs or Mini P if they fancy a coffee and if they suggest Bewitched as the venue of choice I’ll adopt a fake Irish […]

I did a similar thing when the lady at the checkout at Budgens asked if I wanted “a bag for life.” Understandably no one laughed when I said I had one and loved her very much.

@noisecandy I was a 90’s-00’s patron. Went in again recently (now the Black Prince) and it’s still about the same, just with less 80’s indie pop stars.

A bit long, long, long surely?

I can report that the GC album has a cover of Iggy Pop’s fall in love with me. Very good it is too.

I was listening to Dukes of Stratosphere’s Mole from the ministry whilst driving to work this morning. Before seeing this thread I had downloaded the Guy Chadwick solo album Lazy, Soft and Slow. No idea what it […]

Had a dream last night that I was near the front of a Nick Cave gig. The band were playing a song I don’t recall hearing before and as they were reaching some sort of crescendo Warren Elis brings a giant keyboard […]

I generally listen to them at the gym. I find bursting into fits of giggles helps make the ordeal go quicker and keeps other gym users at arms length. For this I generally have RHLSTP, Elis and John, the bugle, […]

Looks like Clive Langer has got one of those guitars too-

Week one working on the wards as a student nurse I was told “always keep your pen in your pocket, otherwise they walk.” I still do to this day (I also have to keep a set of cutlery in my bag as those things go […]

Your dad had S&G’s 1981 greatest hits on cassette in the car? So did Matt Berry’s dad-

As the afterword’s Northampton correspondent I am happy to confirm that it is not a cool place. Does/did have some cool people living here (Danny Ash, Pat Fish, couple of blokes from spaceman 3/spiritualized, […]
