Nor sure if youâre on the piss or taking the piss, Ted.
Two important facts.
Nobody saw The The.
The RaleighBoy is a cunt.
Thanks for clearing that up mate 
I was concerned that Halo was sober

Off to see The Xcerts and Ben Marwood at The Joiners on the 16th.
Regular viewers will know about my love of Marwoodâs weirdness, and the fact that he had given up on music (illness and lack of success) but is now doing the odd gig.
Only problem is that it clashes with the Burnley match*, but I should be able to make the prematch drinks as long as they are within staggering distance of St Maryâs Street.
November takes me to Will Varley in Portsmouth and London. Canât waitâŚto get off my tits and let him write on my shirt** again.
*and, no, Big Stupid Bob, I didnât intend to actually go to the match anyway before you point that out.
**not a euphemism.
Not âthat shirtâ and blazer ensemble you wore to the game the other week?
No Cobber, it was an expensive Tommy Hilfiger shirt (a gift) in rusts, reds and blacks. No blazer that day. Just a tie and cravat.
The guy wrote on my shirt, man.
He wrote on my shirt.
That shirt really tied my look together.

Both a tie and a cravat? Youâre really pushing the frontiers of sartorial elegance and sophistication with that fashion statement Bletch.
Rust, red and black sounds like the aftermath of an accident in an abattoir though

Iâll take them.
The Zombies in Chandlers Ford! Playing at The Thornden Hall on 11th November. The missus and I have just booked. 
Theyâre still in good voiceâŚ
Saw Matt Berry and the Maypoles last night at Koko. great musicians all round but wasnât feeling it last night as coming down with a cold.
Tonight was A Peaceful Noise in memory of Nick Alexander who.was killed at the Bataclan attack just over a year ago. we missed Fran Healy and Maximo Park but enjoyed Gaz Coombes, Chas and Dave (special guest), Frank Turner and Jesse Hughes (special guest).
Frank and his partner were side of stage singing and dancing to Chas and Dave. Frank had also written a new song for his partner and sang it for the first time. awwww
All held in the beautiful Shepherds Bush Empire.
More to follow but saw Will Varley at the Wedgewood Rooms last night.
Great night.
There were 9 of us in our group including my daughter.
Regular readers may remember that Will Varley signed an expensive (and hopelessly effiminate) shirt of mine with a marker pen at The Joiners earlier in the year.
I tweeted him before the gig to plead that no matter how pissed I got or how much I begged, he wasnât to sign my shirt again.
He didnât.
But the cheeky begger did sign my daughterâs chest!!!
RULE #1 DOES NOT APPLY.
Off to see him again at the Union Chappel on Friday. Weâre going to have words.
Probably words like âI love you. Will you sign my shirt?â

Seems unlikely.

I went to see Romesh Ranganathan least night. He was ok but it was probably one of the poorer comedy his Iâve seen. A bit disappointing.
Due to my reproductive capability I donât get out much these days so I am inordinately excited about seeing Goldie perform Timeless at Ronnie Scottâs in Feb.
Madness. Tonight. BIC. Fucking great.
My rock and roll week is over. Iâve spent 3 nights in 5 at the O2. I wonder if they think I am casing the joint.
Rhcp on Monday. The crowd were much more into it this time around (saw them there a few years ago and it was a bit flat).
Biffy Clyro on Thursday. It was pretty packed down in standing but we had a few seats spare around us which was nice. I enjoyed watching the mosh pit from afar. Excellent set and they just power through.
Richard Ashcroft last night. By this time I just needed some rest. Enjoyed it, a few Verve classics to sing along to. I needed a lay in and the bloody postman delivered a parcel at 7.30.
Next week off to see Frank Turner film Get Better with him doing a solo set and then Bowieâs Lazarus followed by Chic the week after getting us ready for Christmas.

One of my favourite bands (The Maccabees) have decided to call it a day after 14 years. But not before one last big payoff.
I have bagged myself a couple of tickets for one of the Manchester gigs in June 2017.
It is a shame as I really thought their music was developing to the next level, but they all have solo projects they want to explore.
Shelfish bastards.
