Lefty yoghurt knitter. I have a picture of myself in the car but I promise I'm not a right wing anti-vaxxer. Dogs, cigars, burritos, coffee, more dogs.

We're heading to the outskirts of Newcastle next month. The Plough is putting on some amazing gigs right now. Absolutely chuffed to be part of it.

A nice blowy 3 mile walk from Portway Park and Ride over the #Avonmouth bridge today because despite Uber and Bolt both saying they had drivers two minutes away, nobody turned up...again. Not to worry...I need the exercise. Time to dust off the cobwebs...

Had to drop a car off at Avonmouth today. Return cab never turned up. Cue a massive walk into the village, out the other side and all the way up to Shirehampton to catch Avonmouth bridge walkway. Got off at the other side and walked all around the back paths. 2.5 hours and about 5 miles. Fuck Uber.

Neekums 2025. Blasting about on his wheels, blind as a bat and without a care in the world!

Nothing says patriotism like dropping your trollies and pissing up the wall. This country is absolutely cooked.

Also the 4* hotels are NOT 4* hotels when they shut their doors to the public to house asylum seekers. They can't order room service, room cleaning is less frequent, they can't make use of spa treatments and their meals are normally pre-heated and left in the lobby for them. Fallacy after fallacy.

Couldn't be happier with how these recordings turned out. No overdubs, just straight takes and picking out whichever one sounded best.

It's hard for me to have sympathy for regretful Brexit voters. We were given exactly the same information as them and none of us came to the conclusion that we needed to drive the country off of a cliff. They're only upset because it hit them where it hurt.

One of the more pointless and bizarre things I bought on a whim. A Freeview TV receiver that blasts it straight to your android device so you can watch TV with no data needed. It's even got a magmount for your car so you can watch Babestation whilst you drive up the M4.

The fake names of the donors are gross. Dylan Roof amongst others. I went on the 'other' side and half the comments in support of her were from WP accounts. Absolutely horrific.

And this is 25 years of punk....I've arrived!

Mind you I can't complain. That's about four quid more than I got paid for most gigs...

This is my 15 year old, Niko. He's saved me on more occasions than I can remember. They really do bring out the best in us.

Runcorn now has a Reform MP, Greater Lincolnshire has a Reform mayor and then there are a disturbingly large amount of local council gains.

Oh I get it. Although this is just the usual middle aged anxiety ridden nonsense. For the first time in a while I've just started to laugh at the absolute state both sides of the pond are in. Glib, I know, but it's the only way to cope!

Obviously you can't smell it but this evening I decided to cook my usual vegetables in pine nut oil. Preliminary findings are that the entire house now smells like a forest is burning down...

Trying to combat creeping stress and anxiety by getting back into good habits, regular exercise, AA meets, healthier diet (working on that one slowly...) I don't get up round here too much now that the dog is old so decided to actually make use of the bike I bought in the winter.

I've got a weekend coming up where I forget about adult things like bills and jobs, hang out with some equally belligerent old men and play some punk. Ghent/Belgium on Friday night then Hastings/UK on Saturday!

I saw Battalion of Saints in 2018 just before they split. Crammed about 25 songs into 40-45 minutes. Insanely good band.
