Great way to start the morning with a global AWS outage. I thought I’d have a nice quiet day today.

Pretty decent ground to be fair.

Just a quick walk up the road.

Ticking off a new ground today. Might as well since I’m not going down to Barnet.

Suffocate for Fuck Sake live in Stockholm next month. Can’t remember how I discovered them but they genuinely make some of the most beautiful music I’ve heard. youtu.be/jLqBK2nsljo?...

Sky can shove that Monday night 8PM kick off up their arses. I’m assuming that they’ll be enough international call ups to move the game to the Saturday.

Very foggy in Manchester. Basically couldn’t see anything until we suddenly hit the runway.

Flight delayed due to weather in Manchester. Why did I bother moving there again?

November looking great. Multiple gigs across multiple UK cities lined up and a bonus gig in Stockholm at the end of the month.

Yeah I liked the markets and the diverse food options there but the town certainly has an air of deprivation around it.

About 20 degrees cooler since I was last here in July.

Well who could possibly have predicted that this would happen

Thousands of fans used the FIFA Collect platform to purchase digital collectibles that came with the 'right to buy' (RTB) actual World Cup tickets.

Now, after values of RTBs collapsed and details of how it all works emerged, many fans feel 'ripped off.'

Pre-flight walk. Interesting ground to be fair.

Been in Sheffield all week and I’m very impressed with it to so far. It’s also far cheaper to live here than it is in Greater Manchester. Being exactly halfway between work and Notts also makes a lot of sense.
