Acting like a child without bills and a mortgage for 30 minutes keeps me sane. #punk #punkrock #punkgigs #music #bassplayers #birmingham @badbloodpunk.bsky.social

20 years sober today. Still a perpetual work in progress but I don't think I'm doing too bad... #sober #sobriety #thesoberlife #alcoholfree #recovery #addiction

Fantastic to see the #millionwomenrise march in #London today. Thanks also to the absolute legends who posed so I could snap pictures of their messages. #endviolenceagainstwomen #solidarity

Once again I'm in some weird bizarre universe where, considering my usual leanings, I'm agreeing with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk more and more everyday.

We're heading to the outskirts of Newcastle next month. The Plough is putting on some amazing gigs right now. Absolutely chuffed to be part of it. #punk #punkgigs #music #livemusic #art #punx #rebellionfestival #newcastle #cramlington @ruariotoole.bsky.social

A nice blowy 3 mile walk from Portway Park and Ride over the #Avonmouth bridge today because despite Uber and Bolt both saying they had drivers two minutes away, nobody turned up...again. Not to worry...I need the exercise. Time to dust off the cobwebs... #bristol #selfemployed #gigeconomy

Had to drop a car off at Avonmouth today. Return cab never turned up. Cue a massive walk into the village, out the other side and all the way up to Shirehampton to catch Avonmouth bridge walkway. Got off at the other side and walked all around the back paths. 2.5 hours and about 5 miles. Fuck Uber.

This is out on Spotify and other streaming platforms tomorrow! In the meantime, Jim Poorman Trenton is playing it today on KOCI Radio in Newport Beach as the daily 'world premiere' segment of the Poorman's Morning Rush show from 6am to 11am PST at 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. UK time. #punk #music

Couldn't be happier with how these recordings turned out. No overdubs, just straight takes and picking out whichever one sounded best.

One of the more pointless and bizarre things I bought on a whim. A Freeview TV receiver that blasts it straight to your android device so you can watch TV with no data needed. It's even got a magmount for your car so you can watch Babestation whilst you drive up the M4. #freeview #tv #gadgets #uktv

And this is 25 years of punk....I've arrived! Mind you I can't complain. That's about four quid more than I got paid for most gigs... #punk #punkrock #music #musicians #bassplayers

Obviously you can't smell it but this evening I decided to cook my usual vegetables in pine nut oil. Preliminary findings are that the entire house now smells like a forest is burning down... #cookery #cooking #vegetariam #friyay #food

Trying to combat creeping stress and anxiety by getting back into good habits, regular exercise, AA meets, healthier diet (working on that one slowly...) I don't get up round here too much now that the dog is old so decided to actually make use of the bike I bought in the winter. #recovery #summer

I've got a weekend coming up where I forget about adult things like bills and jobs, hang out with some equally belligerent old men and play some punk. Ghent/Belgium on Friday night then Hastings/UK on Saturday! #punk #music #gigs #livemusic #belgium #punx #rebellionfestival

A rare moment where everything went to plan. Up super early, 150 miles covered and all of the day's work done by 10am. Sometimes self-employment absolutely sucks but today was a good one. #work #selfemployed #mondays

Sprouts really do get a bad reputation. Boiled, they're absolutely vile, but sautéed with some jalapeno salt and brushed off with some lemon juice and you've got something that's pretty damn tasty. #cooking #cookery #foodporn

I'm 41 and I've been in bands since I was 17, touring since I was 20. I worked out today that I have written about 5,000 songs over the course of my career. Approximately 4975 of those are improvised ditties about my dog. #dog #dogs #husky #alaskanmalamute #mutts #adoptdontshop

My wife chose the one night I am working late this week to send me a text gloating that she just tried Horlicks in the Velvetiser. I'm not going to lie, it sounds like it's worth driving home for.

Niko's switched to a grain free diet these past few weeks. Little fucker has suddenly got more energy than I've seen in years. He's also doing the most humongous poops. He seems happy... #dogs

My boy Niko is 14, blind and arthritic. But he loves his walks, especially the hour long one to the pet shop on Saturdays. He gets a bit tired and needs to sit down. A lot. This weekend a dog owner walked up and said it would be kinder to put him to sleep. Tell me that face is tired of life.. #dogs

Labyrinthitis is a bastard. I'm currently laid up on the sofa.
