Waiting to get out of the car near the Artisan Tap for the Rob Heron gig, because of the rain. Might manage it by next Thursday.

Just discovered that there’s a second series of “Taxi Driver” on Rakuten Viki (no relation to the De Niro film) - and a third commissioned. Next binge sorted.

Is it because she couldn’t face up to people who would call out her obvious bias and make her look stupid?

This time last night I was in a bar in Sweden, watching The Country Side of Harmonica Sam. But surreal that.

He was seriously a mobster in the making. Talking on the phone all the time and about some dodgy stuff that may or may not have been bravado. I got off before I could report him to the train staff.

Me giving up the imaginary title of Lord of Sneyd Green is about as significant as Andrew Windsor giving up his made-up titles. Is he giving up his money and applying for Universal Credit? Thought not.

I go to Sweden for three days and they go and make Graham Potter the national football manager. Sorry guys.

Got on a different train and now there’s a feral child in the seat next to me. Can’t wait to get off.

Gutted to read about the death of Baek Se-hee. Both her books were compelling but difficult reads.

Quite - it was just that I had nowhere to go then, so he had my undivided attention.

Saw him with Kiss at Bingley Hall in Stafford in 1980. Tickets were a costly £4 but me and my mate Steve ended up paying a tenner as it was sold out and we bought off a tout. Support was the band Girl, containing a future member of Def Leppard.
