Plus the Mainbrace, the Grafton and that working mens that used to have strippers on before FC games....

That's a poor show old lad. We used to travel over to gigs at spiders. Plus one of my mates lived on Grafton street whilst at uni in hull.

I'm into all sorts really. From the Housemartins to the cure. Big time aging indie kid though. Don't do heavy stuff bar acdc. Can do a mean turn on the dance floor to northern soul. Been going to gigs since my early teens. From little pub affairs to arenas and stadiums. Can't really do punk. Stiff little fingers are ok but thats about it. Have done the early 90s rave shite. Was never really into it. Prefer my lager....lol Can't stand manufactured pop. Both of my kids are really musical but totally different genres. (Graces first ever proper gig was stone roses at leeds!!!) I must have 5 or 6 gigs re scheduled at the moment because of covid. Heres on for you @Stubest small venue ever attended. Spiders in Ull.

It has a certain attraction.

Morning

Definitely worth doing. The tax man got his claws into me a few years ago for child benefit. (Totally accidental non payment ) And i had to pay a lot back. So now we have a tax man fund. All child benefit goes into a separate account and i just give it back in January. Yes i know it could be easier to just stop claiming but what happens if you lose your job etc. Plus i try to lump as much of my bonus as possible into my pension to avoid giving it to Boris. Thus the account may pay for a beer or 3. P.s. Once you are on the radar. They don't let go.

Radios on all the time. Both at home,car and work. Home. Radio 2. Absolute. Radio X. Talk sport. Car. As above but with Radio leeds as well for the roads. Work. Usually Capital...

Music to die to..... Once spent an entire journey to Glasgow woth this on. My mate refused to change stations...lol Lisa and i in the back so couldn't even get to the screen..... By Motherwell I'd lost the will to live

Heartbreaking for you mate. Nowt you can say.

A few year back a set of our friends came down from Glasgow to the coast over the haggis weekend. Brought all their dodgy food with them. Including the whisky. Unfortunately the do was for the saturday night and we did the 2 bottles of Scotland's finest on the friday night/Sat morning. Saturday was rough to say the least.... We still piped in the haggis via alexa at said time after spending all day topping ourselves up. Bizarrely enough. We stumbled upon everquip racings pre season launch do on the same night. (Based in hornsea) I stank of whisky for a week....

Want to swap jobs?

When Jo Cox was murdered, we were for the initial couple of days described my the national media as a quite west Yorkshire village Then the helicopter shots started appearing and we became a leeds commuter town

Like i said. Bradford Its ok mate. I couldn't do it here......

In bradford? Brave man

Morning. Bit nippy here. Off shift for a couple of days. But being a good husband I've de iced Lisa's car for her. And got the washing in machine. Highlight of the day will be ironing said washing ....

Little shit in an A3 souped up thing. Very very nearly took me out in the car on the way home from work. Heres the funny bit. Well i think so. Its the A62 from Huddersfield to leeds. So even during covid its still busy with lots and i mean lots of traffic lights. Now im far too professional and old to be getting road rage n rolling around on floor. So the little shite is driving like a prick. But i keep catching up with him at the lights. Remember I'm in Lisa's 107. As girlier car you won't find. 1st lights i pull up at the side of him. Put window down and stick my tongue out. Full on Maori style. Hes a little confused. Proceed to do this at the following 4 sets of lights..... By now i genuinely believe he was more petrified than if I'd jumped out and gone for him. I feel so much better now..... He even stopped driving like a dick for the next few mile i followed him...

It depends on what the business/supermarket/ trader is getting shut of/donating. Start panicking when the tins with no labels appear.. food roulette. Seen this. Swear down they'd come from Russia.....

Both lisa and I have wrote down a quite detailed funeral wishes section thats sits alongside our wills. Although not legally binding, as the solicitor said its ethically the right for the surviving partner to carry out the wishes. So. Short mass in church. Walk in. "Stand by me" Oasis Not specified hymns for the church as not really arsed and I know it will be Ave Maria. This will then be followed by a rendition of Danny Boy on the saxophone (providing Grace is up to it) Cremation. Walk into. "I am the resurrection " by the stone roses. As the service is ending. "Happy hour" by the housemartins. So if i bin the bike and any of you buggers rock up to funeral and this doesn't happen. Bollock r lass

I think he's sorted with the grow now

In all seriousness. Most of mine go to the food banks and Africa get the toothbrushes (got to be a posh hotel to get the brushes) Been a bit short since March for obvious reasons.... I do keep some for myself at work of course. I'm no mother Teresa

I sometimes stop in Coleshill. Hotel we use is ok. Boozer/ hotel. Does the job. Now. One of the rooms is sort of annexed and the access door is on the roadside. I'd been in a couple of nights when it dawned on me that there is no way the cleaner would bring the complimentary trolley out onto the road and up the stairs. Bingo. Found the stash. Didn't need to buy coffee for a month...

Be cold in your kilt today

Conforming to Yorkshire stereotypes. Shocking Yep. Terrible for it. First thing i do when away eith work is empty the room. Magic fairy then replaces it all. I actually rate the hotels we stop in by what i can liberate.... Crown plaza Birmingham very good. You get free slippers there and if you get a club room 2 hours free beer in a room with very little security Lisa goes mad with me... I have liberated toiletries which are probably as old as the kids.....

Right. Up at 4. On days. Stay safe all

Ha ha ha. No biting this evening You're more Scottish than owt else
