20 years ago I was watching REM headline Glastonbury. A thought that dawned on me whilst lying on the floor in a tiny room of a static caravan waiting for a hot and overtired toddler to get to sleep. Playing Duggee songs to drown out the nearby karaoke. Life comes at you quick.

I have been waiting for this day for 18 months and now I can’t even celebrate it properly because Spurs did something even worse than hiring Jose Mourinho. YOU ARSEHOLES, TOTTENHAM.
Such sad news about @DeafInstitute & @thisisgorilla. In particular, @DeafInstitute felt like a game changer of a venue. Promoted a few of our favourite shows there and ten years ago went to a gig there at least weekly. All of these bands would say how amazing it was to play.
Been watching that Stranger show on Netflix. So far the biggest mystery is why the old man leaves his office on Hardman Sq (Spinningfields) to go all the way to the Philpotts by Piccadilly Gardens. There’s a Philpotts literally right next to his office!
Etihad is the worst stadium to leave as an away fan. Police need to separate and control this better, stupid. It’s not the 70s anymore.

I feel like I tweet this a lot, so I apologise, but once again, just like every time: the technology works. The rule is ridiculous. In fact, better still: the technology works so well that it has highlighted just how ridiculous the rule is. – at Lyon, France
