ArcTanGent was bloody great this year. Seeing the Melvins for the first time was one of the many highlights.

The mighty Arab Strap last night. Bloody brilliant 😁

Australian post-rock band "We Lost The Sea" on stage at the ArcTanGent festival.

"We Lost The Sea" at ATG. Amazing. Made me a bit emotional, in a good way.

Time for 4 days of various genres of rock / metal & fuck knows what else 😂🤘

Happy International Cat Day to the majestic Mr Miggy. My daughter tells me "he's the closest you're getting to a grandchild, Dad" and I'm very happy with that 😁

A Brummie send-off for a Brummie legend 😢🖤

Was it called Fast Eddie's when it turned into a pool hall? That rings a bell for some reason.

*Bella Pais

Any of you lot remember somewhere called the Bells Pais up by Barr Beacon? I often wonder if I imagined that place...

Ah, man 😢😢

Cheers. I've got loads from that pre-season. Will get around to scanning them at some point & post more. At one point, my mate was in the villa changing room taking photos 🤣🤣

Villa pre-season friendlies in Germany, 1991 style....

Sorry! My point still stands for any American though. Take care & fuck trump.

No offence to you, mate, but already most of your 50 states are allowing masked thugs to snatch people off the streets... Fascism in action.

It's not just Florida though, is it? EVERYONE in that shit tip of a country supports this.. Unless they do something about it... A vile nation of fascist bastards. Rise up!!!

Getting my football fix. Stourbridge FC v Dudley Town. First time I've seen goals that look like these....

Nice day touring around the Cotswolds at the weekend. Not a clue why I'd never been before...

(image of chips frying in a deep fat fryer) Back in the 70s, chip pan fires were all the rage. These days everyone is so lazy that they dont even put their chips in boiling fat anymore, and these fires are a thing of the past. Come on people, help the fire service and enjoy a trip down memory lane by having a proper, good old-fashioned chip pan fire. Iwan carr, Upper Llandwrog

I'm starting to think that way Phil. Still... Another 6 months down the drain 🙄

Ah, well.... Single again 🤣 Another bizarre end to a relationship... This time someone going BAT-SHIT at me for not telling them I was tired whilst they were watching TV... They went SO bat-shit that I felt the need to walk 15 miles home... At 1AM 🤣

This PSG lot are a bit decent... At least we gave them a good couple of games...

Well, that was fucking shit..... Europa League will do next season though.. Mad weekdays in slightly dodgy cities 😁😁

Splendid day out on Saturday, introducing my Leeds supporting partner to some proper football...

Henning Wehn at Brierley Hill civic, wherever that might be.... 🥺

Also, 'Arsenick' 🤣😂🤣

That was the first match I went to! A Gordon Smith own goal, if my aging memory is right?

'Watkins' knee was in an offside position' FFS Clattenburg 🤣

Yuri Tielemans missing a penalty against a keeper that appears to have no legs.

Had Yuri scored the penalty, then I think it may have been quite a different game. Still, coming back twice suggests we have more about us these days.

Bought one... Hospitality tickets all round, if my six numbers come in 🤣

😳😳 Bloody hell! So, I only bought a pint of Tribute & basically won £1600 worth of hospitality tickets 🤣🤣 Think I might have a go at the lottery tonight!
