Of Brexit
In 5 years time we are going to look at this coming few weeks with either our face in our palms and a huge sigh, or with fear that we did the right thing and we have to keep the racists and gammons at bay to prevent it ever happening again. Sadly I think itContinue reading “Of Brexit”
One of my more unusual suits…
Sartorial Thursday has me in black velvet. Seriously. I’ve had this suit since 1997 and I used to wear it when I hung around with Joe Lazarus. Since I’ve lost weight it’s now fitting me again!
Updating the toughbook
I’ve dragged out the old CF29 as I’ll be a laptop down in a few weeks. The leased surface book is going back soon and I need to call back my old Surface Pro 3 to become my personal device. This means the mixing desk needs a laptop, and the toughbook seems to be perfectlyContinue reading “Updating the toughbook”
The End of the Weekend that Was – St Patrick’s at The RS Bar
The weekend ended with an Ethryll gig at the Royal Standard. We met Jake there, and Martin joined us shortly after. After setting up and having a short soundcheck I went and changed into my new jeans. They’re amazing! It’s as if someone exploded glitter on them. Larry and Jake both approved! Sadly it wasContinue reading “The End of the Weekend that Was – St Patrick’s at The RS Bar”
That was the weekend that was… Part 2 – Entertaining Larry
Sunday was also predicted to be a busy day. Not a great amount of sleep, followed by a day around Sheffield entertaining a visitor from Seattle.

When he said he was visiting the UK on a social visitContinue reading “That was the weekend that was… Part 2 – Entertaining Larry”
And thus, that was the weekend… Part one.
You know every so often you get a few days when you wonder how the hell you survived it? Well this was that weekend. I can’t complain… It was all very much self inflicted by my being in three bands. Two of those bands had activity this weekend. Friday A full-ish day of work, followerContinue reading “And thus, that was the weekend… Part one.”
Facebook is down…
So everyone’s taking to Twitter to complain about it. Not me. I don’t really like Facebook. I’m rather pleased. I suspect there are families up and down the country talking about things over dinner rather than having their faces lit up by phone screens. I did manage to post my outfit of the day photoContinue reading “Facebook is down…”
Normal look has been achieved.
New work trousers. 36″ waist.
Boosh and lemsip.
Full of cold now. My wife shares everything. At least I’ve had a productive day though – I’ve booked a gig for SoPR! This Winter Machine and Under a Banner.
