Messing around with a delay pedal while drinking a really decent sauvignon blanc

Extraordinary how Simply Red were always on Top of the Pops – big ‘history is written by the winners’ energy

We did not deserve Mike Flowers Pops #totp

Love staring at the little computer I keep in my pocket that costs me thousands of pounds to feel almost supernaturally anxious at all times

My new mangle has a lovely wring to it
