Might start to post on here again, like in the good old days of last year.

Saw Joe Jackson and his band at the Bristol Beacon a few nights ago. What a career that man has had. Phenomenal talent, and still produces a great live performance.

10.25pm and I’m eating pizza while listening to an All Saints compilation CD in my kitchen. Winning at life. As always.

BRISTOLIANS! Has anybody been to this exhibition at St Mary Redcliffe Church and is it any good?

Oh, the sheer glamour of living in Weston Super Mare.

I hope Andy Burnham does a brilliant job as Prime Minister. Really don’t understand why anybody would want him to fail?

Hello again you fuckers. I forgot me log in details but now I’m back. Here’s Weston Super Mare’s pier looking a bit nice all lit up on a Summer evening.

Saw Stewart Lee, the world’s greatest living stand up, in Weston Super Mare (WESTON SUPER MARE!) a few nights ago. He is SO good. He definitely gets better and better as he gets older. Had a quick chat and asked for a photo as I am a pathetic fan boy.

Enjoyable gig tonight. Tom A Smith supported by Hunny Buzz at the Thekla in Bristol. Very odd sensation when you realise that the musicians on the stage are young enough to be your grandchildren.

Hello again. Have you missed me? (I know the answer to this question is no, by the way).

I have had this attitude for my entire working life. Explains why I never really made much of myself.

Spending the night with the parents and feeling a bit fed up so I’m reading some Philip Larkin to *really* make myself feel depressed!

Across the Universe, unseen forces beyond our comprehension are working to improve our lives. They don’t always get it right, but they are trying. #jonesysjukebox brings you The Beatles and Across the Universe.

Nobody wants it but it’s back anyway. #jonesysjukebox returns with a song that’s been in my head for days now. Thomas Dolby Close but no cigar, from 1992.

Waiting to see Alexei Sayle and discovering that Bristol City are winning 3-1 away at Hull. That’s nice, thank you.

Quite tempted to go to see that “Melania” shite because I’m convinced it’s going to be regarded as being a comedy classic in the future and I’d like to be able to say that I saw it at the time. This “Melania” character is so utterly ridiculous that the film sounds like it’ll be hilarious!

Stuart Pearce repeatedly saying “point in case” rather than “case in point” on TalkSport is IRRITATING.

In a pub and they are playing lots of Radiohead and Fleetwood Mac. I WISH I WAS SPECIAL.

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge Day 27 A song from 2014 From the LP called For Fuck’s Sake, it’s The Nightingales and the fantastic Dumb and Drummer. I saw the Gales (and Ted Chippington) on the tour which promoted the album. One of the best gigs I ever saw. @nightingalesuk.bsky.social

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge Day 26 A song beginning with the letter Z Rosie Vela Zazu Title track of her only album, 1986. It’s basically a Steely Dan album with Rosie singing. It’s one of my favourite records.

#70sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 30 My number 1. Pink Floyd Wish you were here Title track of their best album. A song about loss, friendship, loneliness, futility and the indestructible human spirit. As I get older I find myself frequently listening to this song. I wish you were here. x

Just accept that every employer is useless and doesn’t care about you, no matter how many times they ask you to participate in “Great Place to Work” surveys. You are a commodity, not a human being. If you have problems with your physical or mental health, you will be fired, not helped. Thank you.
