Kettle on - gasping for a cuppa 🫖

Both the train conductors are bearded bear types! 😁

#TicketStubWed

The ticket wasn’t kidding when it said “and many more!”…

What started as a Pulp gig turned into the first V Festival! A second stage was added with Elastica headlining. Existential crisis arose - but in the end - bought the ticket to see Pulp! Who were class - as always!

5. Pulp - Common People

The sleeve notes said “There is a war in progress - don’t be a casual(ty). The time to decide whose side you’re on is here. Choose wisely. Stay alive in ‘95”

An eloquent “fuck off” to those of privilege who continue to patronise us. The fight starts here.

Well London - it’s been gorgeous - apologies for the whistle stop visit - will be back in May - I’ll stay a bit longer!

I know it’s only 11.25 - but got back to Euston quicker than I thought - got an hour to kill before my train home…

Post gig pint. Happy person 😁

Radiohead - O2 Arena, London

If you told me at the start of the year, in a year I saw most of my favourite bands, that I’d be seeing Radiohead - I’d be asking for the lottery numbers next!

No Karma Police alas - but for a minute there, I lost myself. Well - more than once. Would you blame me? ❤️

And they are selling merch in here! Needn’t have stood in that queue 😂.

Cheers everyone! No surprises please…
November 25, 2025 at 7:41 PM
Ditched the merch queue! Could have just eaten here! Look at this place!!
November 25, 2025 at 7:08 PM
When I was last here this was called The Millennium Dome 👴😂
November 25, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Something to read whilst in the queue for merch 🤓

Washing bad pizza down with a pint of Guinness! Should kill off anything bad 😂
November 25, 2025 at 5:09 PM
I think I’ve just eaten the worst pizza known to mankind. I can’t finish it and I hate wasting food! I really hope I don’t regret this 🤢

6. Manic Street Preachers - A Design For Life

The Manics have always said they would never write a love song - but I beg to differ! I’ve always seen this as a love song to the working classes - a heroic anthem that the working class will always come through - libraries gave us power
November 25, 2025 at 12:46 PM
All aboard!! Off to that there London…

No prizes for guessing why

I like the Christmas Tree in Manchester Piccadilly Station 👍🏻

My Bloody Valentine - Aviva Studios, Manchester

Noise annoys - but it can also be quite thrilling! Second time I’ve seen them - ear plugs inserted - they play a decibel below the legal limit. Some technical hiccups - but didn’t spoil the vibe!

“You Made Me Realise” went on for 10 minutes 💥

Having drink with ex…
November 24, 2025 at 11:19 PM
Praise all the gods in all the world!! My mate Andy just walked in!

I’m going to pray more often 😂
November 24, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Got to Aviva Studios - used the loo before heading upstairs - tap on my shoulder - it’s my ex!

“I thought you’d be here!” he said

I said I’d get a beer and meet him upstairs… if I can find him!! 😳

Of all the gin joints…
November 24, 2025 at 7:50 PM
Like anyone starting their jollies - starts with a pint! Cheers
November 24, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Packed and ready for my jollies to Manchester and London. Toothbrush, clean pants and…

Ear plugs.

Anyone heading into Manchester tonight to see My Bloody Valentine and haven’t seen them before - heed the warning - they are LOUD! 💥

7. R.E.M. - Nightswimming

We all remember a time when life seemed so much simpler. Never went skinny dipping (there aren’t enough antibiotics that would ever get me in the Mersey), but I have a version of those evenings at the water’s edge as you do. This is nostalgia for those memories.
