It’s not called the Remington Fuzzaway is it? 😃

Fantastic to see #purereasonrevolution again for the first time in 15 years in Manchester last night playing all of their classic The Dark Third album #musicsky

Really enjoyed hearing about this on latest @pelliclemag.com podcast. Similar vibes and mix of Bathams/Holdens beers at The Great Western in Wolves. 2 minute walk from the station - worth breaking your journey for.

Not often enough, better get an Ortofon OM10 on order..... #hifi #musicsky

I wish Trump would do a #parkrun He’d be baffled. Lots of people trying hard, supporting each other, volunteering, nobody pays or gets paid, and even if you come first you can’t crow about it because it’s not an actual race. That urge to invade somewhere just sort of slips away.

Exactly this. Podcasts are for listening to whilst you do other stuff.

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.

"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

Oh yeah!

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Tynt Meadow ticks every autumnal box for me.

Sometimes decisions are easy.

I had to check it wasn't 1st April.

If this ain’t a Mark E Smith lyric I don’t know what is! 😂 #thefall

Another vote for Little Swift here. Fantastic place.

As The Crow Flies - Ed.9 - Defying Gravity A slightly tongue-in-cheek lament on gravity poured pints and their over-utilisation by regional beer festivals.

NEW BLOG POST 📢

I feel like I might be opening myself up to a world of abuse with this, but I hope people take it with a pinch of salt and with the intended humour.

TLDR: gravity pour sucks (most of the time)

I've never really used Spotify, and given more recent revelations about the owner's wider business interests, I now never would.

What really infuriates me though is how media outlets routinely embed Spotify playlists into their music features. Time to change that too...

"I said they are just ordinary people with legitimate concerns, peacefully protesting. What did I say Roy?"
"You said they're a bunch of far right racist twats"

No, I didn’t manage to get Radiohead tickets either. ☹️

HP sauce a good substitute!

Yes, their mission has been accomplished. They now need to focus on fighting for independent breweries and pubs and to not ostracise other dispense formats. Too many tied lines in pubs these days. #camra

Sorry to be right about this. No GBBF next year as it made “a substantial loss”, according to CAMRA
