primal scream - newcastle city hall tonight

I've seen Primal Scream on every tour for many years, and this years one is no exception. A mate and myself are going tonight, as it's Newcastle City Hall, and the last date of the tour.  I expect it will get a bit messy, so it's a good job we're staying in a hotel and getting the train there and back. Bring it on.

my hideous would be excalibur children

A horrific reminder of when the baby predicting machine at The Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas spewed out these ungodly snaps, based on actual images of myself and my partner. It certainly put us off having children, that's for sure. They're straight from a 'Children of the Damned' movie shoot.

steve kerr wears a havrard shirt to 'stand up to bullies'

I have no idea about the sports side of this and had never heard of Steve Kerr before, but well played sir, and by bullies, he of course means Donald Trump. I'm even tempted to buy a Harvard top myself as Trump is so annoyed with them (see his lunatic rantings below).

manchester united v lyon and harry maguire's weight

With my usual pessimism regarding the result of tonight game against Lyon, l'm still looking forward to it.  Onana's been the main focus of the build up news, but l'm more worried that Harry Maguire has put on a bit of weight.

simon evans - have we met at the georgian theatre, richmond

My mate got me a ticket for this and l was up for going to it until yesterday morning, as l've had (another) stinking cold all week and although it has now pretty much gone, l still have a tickly annoying cough, and the last place l wanted to go was a quiet comedy show in a small theatre, so bailed out this afternoon. I compensated by joining other mates for our Wednesday meet up, and tried to anesthetise the cough instead.

trump blames zelensky for starting the war

Not even l think Donald Trump is that thick, he's just repeating Russian propaganda. One day it will be revealed why he is on Russia's side, but let's face it, it's going to be wadloads of money or a sex scandal. What a piss poor twat, sadly enabled by others in his party.

the pop up record fair in richmond town hall

Although l still spent some money at this, and it was a glorious summer's day, l was also rescued from my record buying madness as the dealer l went to see had forgotten to bring his bootlegs l was after, so I saved some money for a change. He did however, invite me to his home to go through them, which l imagine is going to punish my wallet somewhat in the near future. I'm a very, very, sad man (but it keeps me happy and out of mischief).

russel mael making me envious

Although it's no fun getting old, l'm also envious of older people who have had the opportunity to attend classic gigs back in the good old days. After watching the 'Word in your Ear' youtube interview with Russel Mael from Sparks, my envy meter has gone off the scale. He's seen The Beatles (twice), Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd etc, all during their earliest tours of The States, and he still looks great. I am currently green. Very green.

born to boogie - the boogie film of the century!

 I was a massive T. Rex fan and went to see this at my local picture house when it came out, but to say l was disappointed is a massive understatement. Parts of it were excellent (such as the concert footage) but there was way too much padding and buggering about.  I've still bought the DVD, and as that has a lot more live on stage action, it's a much more satisfying experience.
