The Prime Ministers: The Pioneers (2013) - Documentary about Israeli prime ministers and a pretty terrible watch. It lacks any real documentary skill. A dry monologue, spliced with historic news footage and certain speeches voiced by well known actors. SB provides the voice of Golda Meir #SBwatch

I am on a training course. It is dreadful, I’d been hanging in there best I could but don’t think I can cope much more with the fella just reading a script with minimal interaction. Think I’m better off just googling the key facts and trying some past papers. I’m learning very little 😩

Book 22: Northline - I love Vlautin’s books so much I’m not sure I can been objective about them anymore. This is a sad story delicately told with a lightness of touch that ultimately leaves you feeling hopeful about the chance of finding a way to survive no matter how far you fall #chopsbooks
Book 21: Murder in the Mews - Four short stories from Agatha. All long enough to get my brain ticking over and all neatly wrapped up by Poirot #chopsbooks

Would love to go to this but it’s J’s birthday and I am not that foolhardy!
Anyway, you should consider going if you’re near to that London and love ace bands playing cool venues.

We are delighted to announce that our support in London on December 16th will be Manchester's NICO HARMONY, described by Louder Than War as "like a Lana Del Ray from a rainy city."
This will be Nico's London debut.
The stellar skipratmedia will assume DJ duties.

A brilliant night at The Lex watching Slime City celebrate the release of brilliant second album, National Record of Achievement. I had to sell my front row ticket for Tune-Yards but no way I’d want to miss this one #chopsgigs #slimecity @slimecitymusic.bsky.social @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social

Such a brilliant line up. Punching Swans opened the bill with another ferocious 30 minute set, then F.O. Machete played their first London show in almost 20 years and were also ace #chopsgigs @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social #punchingswans @fomachete.bsky.social

Afternoon off spent in the pub. Not smashed but pleasantly woozy. Really needed a bit of chill time with old pals.
