Incredible night dancing (and none stop smiling!) to @stonefoundation.bsky.social at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social
If you’ve never seen them live you’ve missed out. They are truly joyous band full of amazing musicians.
Really enjoyed @ianprowse.bsky.social supporting too. Powerful stuff ❤️

Looking forward to @nathbrudenell.bsky.social tomorrow Really hoping to get Mick Talbot to sign something for my wife there either before or after (it’s an original draft transcript of Mr Cool’s dream that we bought from Steve White) 🙏

Bald man stood on a big stage. Huge screen behind me with my name and Tourism role on it, and a screen above with Tourism Awards 15 years on it

Delighted to open the Visit Hull & East Yorkshire REYTAs (the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards) last night.
Such a fantastic night celebrating the people and businesses that make our area such an amazing place to visit.

My favourite bottle (which my wife knows, hence her buying me one for my Birthday ☺️)

Weird!

Check out a video by @curiosityhull.bsky.social with me describing my favourite building in Hull.
Really enjoyed doing this series of videos with them 👍🏼

So yesterday we saw a baby seal pup being born in the wild!!! 😍
Such a privilege.
It’s always nice to visit Donna Nook at this time of the year, when seals are up on the sands having their pups, but we’ve never seen one actually being born before.
Amazing

Bowl of Ramen in the Kyoto restaurant ‘Vegan Ramen Uzu’ that has a Michelin Green Star.

Amazing dessert in Kyoto’s Vegan Ramen Uzu restaurant

And sometimes we eat this 😍 (in Kyoto)

Just brought a bottle of Nikka Yoichi back with me from Japan after having one in a restaurant. Lovely drink

An incredible vegan dish from Vegan Ramen UZU in Kyoto. Black bowl with 2 red petals either side of a small light green dish with dark green leaves pulled on it

A huge vegan cheeseburger burger with fried onions in the bun

A bald man, me, smiling as he tucks into his plate of 10 pieces of vegan sushi He has a beer next to him as well which makes his smile even bigger

A vegan meal at a traditional Japanese wedding in a Shinto shrine in Tokyo. 5 pieces on a square white plate with a bowl and a glass of sake

The thing about being #vegan is that it’s so difficult to find nice food when eating out. Particularly when you’re on holiday somewhere where they are famed for their seafood and meat…Japan for example… 🇯🇵

{Narrator - ‘This statement was clearly not true at all’}

I’m probably too old, but voice notes aren’t for any reason as far as I can see
I certainly wouldn’t listen to one, they seem worse than eventually getting round to listening to v mails!
I might ring the person up and ask why they’d messaged, but that’s about it.
I know…it’s generational I guess 👴🏻

Someone bought me a bottle when I retired…so I was in a good mood with it to start with! 😁

Have you tried Filey Bay? Just up the road from me and very nice.

I’ve only just realised he isn’t Jay Leno!

100% about Moby. Crass were one of the earliest bands I saw live with my mates (in 1980 when I was 13)
Life changing

Absolutely
It took me a long time to go vegan, but it was a great decision and I’ll never go back.
Great to see bands I grew up listening to who were serious about it then too. As you say it’s a great hardcore documentary in its own right. 👍🏼

Have you watched the Punk Rock Vegan Movie?
Great film

One of the best bands I ever saw live 👍🏼

They really are 👍🏼

Love the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency ❤️

Can’t believe it’s 45 years old!
Great album

Muirheads Silver Seal 1993 Muirheads Silver Seal 1993 is a very enjoyable whisky with many layers and some interesting characteristics developed from the additional ageing.

Not quite this bottling, but some interesting info on Muirhead’s here singlemalt.com.au/single-malt/...
Side note. I was affected by the MHLV buyout of Glenmorangie so still haven’t forgiven them. I mean I only owned one share, but that’s not the point. My parents bought me it for my Birthday 😡

Thanks for the gig.
Fantastic as ever 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely cracking night at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social again.
@kirkbrandon.bsky.social was as excellent as ever with Theatre of Hate.
Brilliant set.
Enjoyed @skeletal-family.bsky.social too.
Thanks to all involved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Perfect. Thank you 🙏

Anyone know what time @skeletal-family.bsky.social and @kirkbrandon.bsky.social with Theatre of Hate are coming on at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social in Leeds tonight?
Cheers

Agreed. I was concerned when he was taken off mostly because we’d lose his defensive headers from their corners.
Not a great advert for the Championship but brilliant nevertheless and so good to finish with a clean sheet 🧡🖤

No thank you

😂
