Never a frown, with Gordon Brown.

Rainy Bilbao but it’s looking ace

Podcast ideas. What did Micheal Huttence ever do for us? (Sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong btw.) Joy Division Donkey Jackets.

Obligatory finished work until 5th Jan smart arse post. Tick.

Well, great weekend up in Ayr, and no one killed each other despite the amount of whiskey consumed. Blue Lagoon is possibly the best chippie in the world.

Very sad news about Mani, must say.

So much for trying to get Lily Allen tickets…. (shakes fist)

Ronda. Very nice.

All very nice

Cheers from a very warm Seville.

This thing on BBC2 with the lovely Eva Longoria is wonderful.

Door bells just gone, didn’t realise I had one.

Next door to a chippy with a bar

Went to the Future Yard to see some bands yesterday, DBa were our particular favourites, however none of the members of Mandrake Handshake are on drugs. None whatsoever.

Morning

I like this Gavin Newsom fella.

#784 of things not to do in life. Buy grade A energiser light bulbs off eBay. My kitchen now resembles an AC/DC opening concert song light show (it’s that bright) and I’m worried about planes diverting from Speke Airport into the back garden.

Just got £38 back in betting on Birkenhead, who’d have thought. Day late I know.

My solution to these souring temperatures would be to go shopping in farm foods. It was feckin freezing in the one on Woodchurch Rd earlier, was fantastic. Lady at the till had a body warmer on.

I tell you what lads, it’s warm.

Pulp excellent live, jury’s still out on the venue (the Co-op thingy). The acoustics were excellent but basically the place ran out of ale (which was ridiculously expensive). Don’t think they expected a mostly middle aged crowd to be wanting to get a bit pissed up. (I was driving btw.)

Morning, I see Oasis have opened up a pop up shop in Birkenhead, I’m quite tempted actually

Just spent 4 and a half hours sat on the M62 at Winwick due to the motorway being shut trying to get to work, turned round and came home. Just found a tenner in the back pocket of a pair of jeans, so today’s looking up.

I’m sure it’s not cool these days to post music, etc, but listened to this lady’s new album on the way home from work. It’s excellent. open.spotify.com/track/4EJjVf...

Our local hostelry owner has just told me that card payments cost 0.3% to a business. So generally for a pint, £4? So every time we pay for a pint we’re paying 12p to the banks. Not surprised about the pay with cash signs springing up.

Come out for a Billy no mates pint in the pub round the corner (need it after work sometimes) and they’re playing the Thriller album in the pub, and suddenly it’s BMX’ing around 83/84 at Pontins at Heysham.

Just been to see Emma Jean Thackeray play at the Jacaranda. Properly brilliant as always, the new album stuff is very good.

Tranmere have just scored in open play from a corner so we’re just all off to get tattoos.

Goulash in Malmo sounds like a band name John Peel would introduce

Just bought a fleece off Greta Thumberg

Nice day

Obligatory airport pint

Oi @bunnylodge.bsky.social been to FACT to watch a film this afternoon so feeling all arty.

Great day out yesterday in Saltaire and then who’d have thought, an away win for Tranmere.

Guess who’s driving and we’ve come here…

Bought a pair of gloves on Vinted and been sent two right hands. Cue Ellesmere Port jokes.

Sad news about Gene Hackman and his Mrs

In other news the cat has finally sussed out the new microchipped cat flap. After 3 weeks. Now I know how the Vatican feels when a new pope is finally elected.

Probably drilling a hole in Shane Martins school tie in 3rd year woodwork. Whilst he was wearing it.
