The Reds, the blues, golf, cycling, gambling, books and tunes. The good things in life.
God I loved all that as a teen.
May revise opinion now.
Correct. And throughly nice people as well.
Was meant to be taking myself for a curry but got a bit waylaid!
Went out yesterday to buy some records and have a couple of pints on the way back to the bus.
Put my bag down in the Roscoe and a couple asked me what they were. The family in the corner joined in.
Left 3 hours later in a taxi suitably refreshed.
The best nights are the unexpected ones.
I had a Yaket. A jacket made from Yak wool.
It was as amazing as it sounds.
Haha!
No worries.
Incidentally my mum calls me Steptoe cos that's the face I pull when I read something cos I need glasses.
I refer to them as my drinking gloves. Normal ones get wet on the glass.
Hands are not good at the mo!
Praise be to the Roscoe Head.

I'm just telling you in case it becomes the fashion so you know where it started.
Back here again.

Caught one of those Liverpool Narcos episodes last night.
My biggest takeaway of the whole thing was that during a 1980's stakeout the phone rings and the voice says 'take down this number. 0151...' and all I could think was that the dialling codes added the 1 in the mid-90's.

Yep.
I'm staying in child 2's bed while he's away cos being in bed with someone else is no good.
I'm lucky to have the best boss in the world who knows that some days I'm just fucked so may kip in the day. As long as the work is done etc.
Waking up early ain't great. Not going off is shit.
Preach.
6 hours in a row and I'd be delighted.
Lucozade cocktail.

Found him in my bathroom when I did the floor.
He is everywhere.
Indeed.

Blows Against the Empire by Paul Kantner is a fun listen though if you haven't heard it.
You've tried and failed before.
I'm not falling for it again.
Are we allowed Pale and Precious by the Dukes of Stratosfear being the best Beach Boys tune cos that was kinda the plan?
If we are then that.
Yes. My colleague does it and it sounds awful. Particularly for northerners. You need a drawl to get away with it so maybe down south at a push. But no.
People who say or write 'can't be assed' just need straight up executing.
English people saying ass rather than arse. Just sounds so wrong.

Ha!
I was pondering what's next and you just keep putting suggestions in my head that I can't ignore.
You've also sent me off to Discogs to check if the Detroit Sessions box is available over here at all and it still bloody isn't.
Not strictly your fault but still.
Oh bloody hell, you're just taking the piss now.

There's a lot of work to do to get me to ambivalent.
One on the list of bands I feel like I really should like but just can't get there.
Think there's something wrong with my brain.
Don't go expecting any Grateful Dead, there are limits.
