Was also at Hope of the States yesterday. Thought they were great.
There did seem to be some pricks dotted about in the crowd. Feels like a bit of a theme that I’ve had a few times seeing bands that broke up in the mid-2000s doing a reunion. The 45 year olds can’t be trusted to re-live their youth I say.
The venue, Metronome, seemed a bit weird too. Think I was on the opposite side to you and even though it was listed as a sell out it felt pretty empty where I was stood. Possibly the weather stopping people getting through?

I've looked into crap smart phones a few times now and never ended up switching but instead have got an app blocker installed to just limit a bunch of apps and websites. Some of them I'll look at once a day when brushing my teeth, it locks out after 10 minutes but I've found I just close the app before that point now myself as I'm not as attached. Other things it's got to a point where I've not even been on once and should just delete my profile but can't be bothered to even log in to do it. I did the greyscale thing on my iPhone for a bit but found it didn't really do anything.
Unfortunately for me I have made the mistake of getting used to the need for a lot of stuff on my phone as Oliver says above. Pretty much every social outlet I have will be organised through WhatsApp now, meeting for drinks, plans for watching the football, my DnD group, my band for practices and sharing recordings and stuff so I feel pretty stuck with needing that. Then there's gig tickets often being through apps like Dice and stuff now as well and then listening to music and podcasts and that as well. Banking is also one that I find useful to have when needed and then there's authenticator stuff and desk booking for work.
I've got an idea in my head of stuff that I'd want and stuff that I'd easily just cut out, if the right phone offered it, so I should probably just uninstall all the apps that phone would cut out and I'd be fine.

Jobby can travel from room to room like any typical feline. He is rechargeable and his eyes light up when you push his magic gold-coloured button.
Just wait until you see where that gold-coloured button is placed.

Years ago my work's Christmas party ended up at the Lucky Voice next to Smithfield so when we were booted out at whatever time it closed I had a little wander around the market. I would not recommend this experience. I then ran back home to Hackney Central which was also ill-advised and felt like shit in the office the next day.

Not sure if it's on any UK broadcasters, but Youtube has some on offer.

This got me there, thanks. I'd been going down this route but hadn't made the extra step that was needed but this assured me that I was on the right track so stuck with it and worked it out. Typed in the answer and didn't think it was right as couldn't link it to the definition still until I thought about that a bit further as well.

He was one of the specialist subjects on Mastermind last night though so he's got that going for him.
