Ian Stimson

This weekend’s been much needed. Before this I had one day off in nineteen (if this happens when I go freelance I’ll be delighted…)

And this has been a couple of days of good sleep, good tv and films with the family, good food, good walks, and new fish tank plans.

Christ, I’m boring!

Enjoyable seeing LinkedIn say that I have SOME of the required skills for a job I did for nine years…

I exercise purely for food/drink purposes. 3 miles with the dog, 10 miles on the bike. All ‘buying’ the fuck-off meal I’m going to have later… #fatandfit

Just booked a little Christmas trip to Copenhagen as if I’m not losing my job. Banter, innit?

ask me why I live in Peterborough and I say: 1) It’s cheap, and 2) it’s easy to get to better places. But fuck me, the residents really keep proving me right…

Went to an award-winning comedy show/wine tasting tonight and fuck me, people wonder why Peterborough is a cultural wasteland. Just the most disrespectful audience I’ve ever been in. Luckily they were good enough that it was still a great show.

I sometimes feel like a snob when people in London ask

Some people hate it when you interrupt their ill founded narrative...with critical thinking. That's exactly why we have to continue doing so. Propaganda hates meeting critical thinking.

Just home after my 3 hour day at work.

Can’t think why I’m being made redundant…

Took a 30 minute Oasis ride and PB’d!

Fair enough, don’t mind that, just want to focus as much as possible on the starting 11.

Thanks for that 👍

Are there any other minimum price in their position players who will be starters do you reckon?

Some great garage finds! A hoodie from 25 years ago when I first saw them!

Kell just pulled this out of the garage! Had to take it out of its frame because it was old and shit. Probably missed my chance to sell it, have to wait until one of them dies now!

I’ve given the neighbours a few weeks off but they’re getting it absolutely full beans now!

Kelly is accidentally cosplaying as the England manager…

Let’s do a football!!

Oh man, my gig is next and I’m losing my mind seeing everyone’s Wembley pics and vids because it actually feels real!

The biggest cultural event this year is the Oasis comeback and next year will be the new Grand Theft Auto game, because it’s the fucking Nineties again and there’s nothing anyone can do about it!

Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) Welcome back my friends to the show that never really begins.

New Substack post!

Every now and then I just like to check in and see if Turkey has joined the EU yet… nope, 9 years on from the referendum and that one’s still utter bollocks…

Now I’ve won tickets for Catfish and the Bottlemen next Sunday! So next week is

Wed-Cast, Ashcroft, Oasis
Sat-Ash, Charlatans, Manics
Sun-DMAs, James, Catfish

Indie Scenes!

Fucking hell, while I was watching Taming of the Shrew, doing lines off Kelly’s head (nope, wrong one. Rosé out of a plastic glass…), I found out that I’ve won tickets to Manics, Charlatans, and Ash! Four days after Oasis!

(By which I mean I’ll have a few medium-strength lagers, get overexcited, then get tired, and wonder when, if ever is it gonna be acceptable in that crowd to switch to red wine…)

I’m a multi-faceted individual. Going to a Shakespeare play tomorrow at an open-air theatre. But I’m also an absolute lad who will go to an Oasis gig, do a couple of lines off Finley’s bonce and get off me nut.

Updated Oasis set list with support acts added and including live Slide Away from Cardiff.

I know you were all waiting…

Some of you seem to still be posting non-oasis content. Bit embarrassing tbh…

Set list from production rehearsal leaked. 24 songs and only one post-Be Here Now.

Tumescent.

LinkedIn today suggested I go for a job at Primark so that’s cool…

Company car’s gonna be going back at the right time. I now need a butter knife to open the charging port…
