I confess...

I love playing shows in crap pubs...

There should be a fucked up gig thread

If you'd been real punks, they wouldn't have had to ask. Plastics. Next!

I've played plenty! Other highlights include a gig I played in Budapest which nobody attended and for which we were paid in goulash. Made even more fun by the promoter's last minute decision to not let us stay on the floor of the venue after all, meaning we all had to get a tram to the other side of the city (we'd all had a few beers because we thought we didn't have to drive anywhere) to stay with a crust punk who's name translated to "Tractor" and her fucking shit dog who wouldn't stop barking all night and the hoards of cockroaches roaming her tiny apartment.
If you're into that sort of thing check out a podcast called Worst Gig Ever (it's no longer active but there's a decent archive). The episode with Chris Norris from Reversal Of Man and Combatwoundedveteran is a good starting point!

Oh, another highlight was playing a festival in Germany last summer. I had horrendous sun stroke and couldn't stop throwing up or shitting. The 20 minutes our set lasted was the longest I went all day without a bowel movement and somebody else had to pack my drum stuff away because I had to sprint to the toilet to spew the second our set ended. I also shit myself a tiny bit when I was setting up. Only a tiny bit though.

you guys sound like Sixto Rodriguez.

The dog and I have both been quite windy for the last couple of days. As far as my girlfriend knows, only the dog has been windy for the last couple of days.

That's what you think. I bet the dog's been blaming it all on you...

I knew I couldn't trust that fucker

Another, unrelated confession. I've had this bag of coffee for a few days and only just worked out that it's not labelled as "Doctor Congo"....

Yeah that took me too many seconds of ‘is it not doctor Congo then?’

Me too

That's in Sheffield isn't it?

Doncaster apparently

Ah!

Ah Dr Congo. I've been expecting your paper on mRNA analysis of leishmania. When do you think it'll be finished?

I had crisps for breakfast. In bed. McCoys too.

@snottyotter

I hosed my bike today.

Once a year is forgivable.

Still waiting for the "Hi guys!" Youtube tutorial where you (preferably dressed as an otter) show us how to properly clean a bike without water.

I'm not making a video where I go "just fucking brush it off when it's dry".

Unless you sign up to my onlyfans.

Sonic boom. Didn't notice it. Probably asleep.

I’m not as tidy as I should be. I’ve just found this poor fella in the veg tray. He’s been put on a saline drip to treat the dehydration but it’s going to be a long, sleepless night for the whole family.

Thoughts and prayers...

That looks suspiciously like the Golden Lion in Camden, I used to go in there on Sunday afternoons for Come Down and Meet the Folks, an Americana club type thing in the late 90s/early 00s... Incredible place, I saw some of the craziest alcohol fuelled shit in there... @rickster might remember...
