Mostly into punk music, going to gigs and festivals, booze, mountain biking, hiking, being outdoors in general. Bit of an animal/wildlife nerd.
Often anti-social, always anti-fascist.
(S)Cumbria, UK
Sad to hear about the passing of Chris AKA Captain Hotknives.
Quite a character.

On route to Manchester to see Bob Vylan tonight which is also my first gig of 2026.
Been a while since I last saw them and didn't hear much about them in 2025. Wonder if they got up to much 🤣

Haven't managed to go to any gigs this month so I'm not going to be able to match last year's achievement of going to at least one gig for every month of the year.
Got two coming up in February though so at least there's something in sight.

‘Stop calling us Conservative Party’ says Nigel Farage wearing blue dress and Margaret Thatcher wig
Nigel Farage has denied Reform UK is becoming a carbon copy of the Conservative Party, though admitted it was perhaps the wrong day to cosplay as Margaret Thatcher.

Yesterday's walk around Coniston, Yewdale and Tarn Hows. Met some of the friendliest sheep ever.

First time on the bike in about 4 months. Pleasant but pretty damn cold. The local canal is frozen solid 🥶

Couple of decent Christmas gifts this morning. Been wanting to read both of these for a while 🎄

A very damp Haybridge nature reserve this morning. Not much to be seen unfortunately.

6music seem to have gone early with the fucking Christmas songs this year. I'm sure they normally leave it until much later than this 😠

This world cup draw coverage is fucking mental. It's all been about feeding Donald Trumps ego but now the absolute legend Lauryn Hill is performing live.

Recent vinyl purchase. Been after a copy of this for a while because it's probably in my top 10 albums of all time.
Double LP version with various bonus tracks and alternate versions on disc 2.

Absolutely disgusting that in 2025 supermarkets and shops still insist on storing pizzas in the fridge section upright/sideways so all the toppings have slid off before you've even bought the fucker.

Fun day at Morecambe punk festival on Sunday. Managed to see Pest, The Sentence, Cress, The Gakk, MDM, Swarf Damage, Hardskin, GBH and Faintest Idea.
Might have to go for the full weekend next year.

Early morning 5 mile walk to refresh my head before heading over to Morecambe this afternoon for the final day of the punk festival. Obvious highlights will be GBH and Faintest Idea but also looking forward to Swarf Damage, Pest, The Gakk and Hardskin. Must try not to drink too much too early 😖

Couldn't resist getting tickets for Garbage and Skunk Anansie at Halifax Piece Hall next year. Both bands debut albums were part of the soundtrack of my teenage years.

Important. Only takes a minute to send the email so please do so.
These cunts shouldn't have a platform anywhere.
