Happy Burpday. Have a good one. X

The cast of stage fright live on stage at the Empire Theatre Liverpool

No spoilers but Stage Fright was brilliant. Funny, clever and a couple of proper jump scares. If you get the chance to get tickets then do so. #insidenumber9 #stagefright

Mrs B loves her @gailmyerscough.co.uk designed phone case I got for her birthday. Some lovely stuff on her website ideal for your friends this Christmas. Go take a look and support a talented artist.

Fess hole live in Liverpool with shit emoji hot water comedy club logo on the wall.

Excellent night of frivolous fun @fesshole.bsky.social live with most entertaining @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social pontificating proceedings. Can recommend for a good night out.

A selection of unsavoury money boxes. Trump, two hitler and Christ knows how to describe the last one.

I’ve been to Southport. As expected it is a horrible place with horrible things in it.

Didn’t know this was out. Thanks for the heads up.

The painters have been doing the front and back of the house. Lovely job lads but leaving the doors last and telling me they should be dry to close in about 5 hours is taking the piss.

Inside of a club in Liverpool. Red and yellow lights and lots of people on the dance floor wondering how Mr Brightside could be considered indie music.

Went to one of those over 30 daytime indie disco things on Saturday. Had reservations obviously but it was quite good fun. Played all the obvious tracks which you would but let the side down by playing Mr Brightside. That’s never indie.

Post you from a different era.

1990. A studio in Brixton recording some jingley jangly song that no one has ever heard or would want to. Lovely Rickenbacker 360 though.

The outside of a shop called Colon Queen

Not my Queen.

Stupidly put on the daytime telly. Someone who should know better is telling me how to wash my clothes with conkers.
Suffice to say I’ve turned the telly off.

Chez Che

Could well be. All the bins are open and loads of them. Many of the stray dogs are colour coded with tags. Green are the friendliest docile ones obviously. Didn’t see any red tag ones. All cats & dogs had nethers sorted to stop more breeding. Government initiative apparently.

Took the new camera on its first work job. Having eye detect for the first time that works is just a joy. Nailed it every time. Nice to shoot at high ISO and still get clean images too.

Horses and dogs regularly seen going through the bins when I was there in the summer.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

Hmmm, I seem to have bought a new camera. Just had a look at Nikon Z glass. Oh boy, looks like I’m still using the F mount for a few years longer.

Overheard at the vets.
And what’s your dogs name?
It’s Oscar Carlisle.
Oscar Wilde?
No it’s Carlisle. Not like the famous actor.
I am in Southport so this should be expected.

There’s the boy reaching the heart racing speed of up to 50mph on a young drivers hour taster at Oulton Park. He enjoyed it but even he expected to go a bit quicker than that.

Richard Hawley live on stage.

@richardhawley.bsky.social was on fine form last night at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Coles Corner played in full & a nice treat to hear For your lover give some time which was mine and Mrs B’s first dance. Excellent evening.

Happy Slow Horses day to all who celebrate.

Live stage performance by The Bends. A Radiohead tribute band.

Had an enjoyable evening watchingThe Bends go through the greatest hit of Radiohead.
A nice mix of young and old seemed to have had a good time too.

There was one there. It was a big chain of spud nonces. Last time I saw one was at Cheshire Oaks a few years ago. This bloke doing it now charges a fortune. He’s at the bus yard too. People queue for it. ITS A FUCKING SPUD!!!

They all seem to have forgotten that Spudulike was still around in 2019. It was a shit concept then and more so now.

A bottle of single malt whisky

57 today. So I’ve done bugger all as is my wish. Slap up meal tonight and home to start on this tasty looking curio.
57 though. How the fuck has this come round so quickly?

Lovely wedding shooting yesterday in the Lake District. Managed to dodge the shit weather that was expected. A win for all of us.

Daughter has passed all the GCSEs she needed to. Off to 6th form to do politics, geography & history. Very proud dad parents today.

Same here. Seriously underrated. That is a fine LP.

Two gold shop dummy’s looking like Daft Punk on holiday

Bumped into Daft Punk chilling out on their hols in Albania. #daftpunk
