Just watched Thief for the first time with my lad (his choice). The kids are alright.

Usually between 300 and 400. Even with smaller numbers, you still get groups coming through together and you just have to tap rapidly and hope for the best and that you don't double tap which can happen easily.

I don't mind timekeeping but it's a little pressurised when you have loads of runners crossing the line at the same time. Fair play to anyone volunteering in those conditions today.

That's why they call them earworms!

I don't suppose you're going to the Butler, Blake and Grant show at The Duncairn on Thursday night are you Colin?

I was looking at the band line-up earlier. Looks like an interesting supergroup.

A great night indeed Colin and getting to meet you irl was a bonus. Stipe were superb as you say - a setlist that would please diehard and casual fans alike I would say. Must investigate those Drink The Sea tickets now...

Yes. Stood at the bar.

I'm down at the front near the bar. Pint of Guinness in hand 😀

My mate has seen them before and says they're excellent. Only discovered yesterday that two of the teachers from the school I teach at are also going.

Might see you down there Colin. I got a ticket as a mate's wife can't go. Going to the beer festival first at Banana Block.

Beautiful song. I picked Betty but could easily have picked any of 6 or 7, including this, on Folklore.

Sorry to hear about your friend Jon.
