🎶Wherever I lay my hat... Some bastard sits on it.🎶

Ah, I'm on a train. Time to wander up and down the aisle, fuck constantly with my bag in the luggage rack and keep standing up with my arse in someone's face. And don't forget crisps - crisps are a must on trains, apparently.

Oasis... Saw them once before they hit it big - a band called Shed 7 blew them offstage that night. Heard them every single day on the radio; and at every party, wedding and funeral in the 30 years since. Save your cash and buy a few Kinks albums and that old New Seekers single.

Never tell me you're cold...

Joe Orton, the English author that I've researched the most and became an aficionado of 30+ years ago, today I finally made it to your door.

Bitter Harvest 1987 - 2024. The Final Concert Supporting Propori Sound Lounge, Darwen. 8th November 2024

Happy big birthday to this geezer friend of mine Ian H🪶 . And many more to come. X youtu.be/0opDYdPiPYw?si…

Oh silly me! Of course the Fire Brigade at Grenfell was to blame for greed, uncaring and a sniggering fuck-it attitude to the working classes safety. What WAS I thinking?!

Morning.

Three quarters of Bitter Harvest lurking in the shadows at Sunbird Records last night to see the ever-brilliant Phillip Walsh's home from Texas concert. The final quarter will be there on November 8th for Bitter Harvest's last concert at Sound Lounge, Darwen.

It feels very Monday-like (probably because of 70s/80s television) but what an immense piece of music. youtu.be/95qLDc7zwYY?si…

Now that's how to celebrate a goal!

This really cheered me up for some reason. Who didn't stand with one thumb tucked in the pocket of their jeans ever after? G'night all. And: Ehhhyyy! Henry Winkler & Ron Howard Head Back To Arnold's For "Happy Days'" 50th Anniversary inspiremore.com/henry-winkler-…

Well, that was an interesting evening. Just as I suspected the psychic was useless. He must've been - he accepted a cheque from me as payment.

How old am I when I spend a Friday night looking at my old diary entries? However: 20/9/94: My grandad always said: "As one door closes another door opens." Lovely man but a crap cabinet maker.

The cover star is my great uncle Jack Kendal who was a Lancashire boxing champion in Victorian Blackburn. Thanks to Blackburn Museum for allowing access to his portrait.👇

Now then...
