I've always found the journey home the morning after a gig slightly surreal. Heading back to reality.

Perhaps the BBC could offer Trump one of his beloved deals: they'll apologise for broadcasting sections of his speech, if he apologises for trying to overthrow an election, lying about the result, pressuring election officials, urging a crowd to "fight like hell" & pardoning those who did just that.

Not too many aching body parts this morning, so far. My ears are still ringing slightly, and there is a general feel of some recovery time needed

The Offspring were awesome, as was the support Simple Plan. My 60ish body is going to remind me tomorrow that although being right at the front of a gig is fun, there will be payback.

Labour have been honest from day one on the fact that their reforms will be unpopular but they’re fixing the foundations of a Britain ravaged by 14 years of Conservative mismanagemen.

Just figured out why last night's gig felt a bit 'meh'. Nothing against Volbeat who rocked. But, having Bush supporting them compared to the last time they toured when it was Skindred made the difference.

Coeliac problems.
When you mention that the kitchen staff shouldn't use the same utensils on food containing gluten and those that don't, and get a blank look.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Deep Purple in Rock, you can take a wild guess at the artists name.
The price sticker indicates that I bought this second hand, but it is the gatefold sleeve version.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Replicas by Tubeway Army. It's a bit of a change from my usual, but maybe not so much, you decide.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is In Search of Space by Hawkwind. It starts with nearly 17 minutes of You Shouldn't do that, which for me is peak Hawkwind.
Full fold out sleeve and booklet are still, mostly, intact.

So this is Labour's response to Farage's speech this morning - but put out this afternoon across all the channels they are active on.
Very good Labour, very good!
