Don't mind me, I'm just listening to the finest band to ever come out of Liverpool while back in Liverpool

08:57 56 83 4th: The US public is still so sensitive to images of New York that Woody Allen is forced to remake Manhattan shot for shot but with all views of the city taken out. Furious that the new version, Quebec, will lack resonance, the director comforts himself by giving the part of Diane Keaton to eight 17-year-old girls. 6th: American Airlines launches a controversial emergency campaign to persuade Americans to fly again. Posters put up in every major American city show a fearful businessman reading a newspaper over the words 'Get the hell out while you can! Australia from $120.' 7th: Bush announces the start of Operation Bomb Islamics. He tells the US that coalition members agree this title is not offensive to 'good Muslims'. This is confirmed in a hastily written episode of The West Wing in which a good Muslim is played by Jeff Goldblum. 8th: World shown new US weaponry including the XMB0181 foaming missile designed to flush out enemy hiding in caves. The device, known as the 'Condeleezza Cappuccino', is designed to deliver a sarcastic sprinkling of cocoa powder on the routed enemy. 9th: US bombs hit a Red Cross emergency centre on the outskirts of Kabul, but the Pentagon refuses to apologise, blaming the Red Cross logo for 'looking like the crosshairs on a viewfinder'. Spokesman Paul Wolfowitz says: 'I'd ask this clearly self-loathing organisation to change its suicidal insignia before they kill us all.' The Red Cross complies immediately and changes its

I had a blast at Damnation. Had reservations about going on me tod but back to back bands meant I hardly noticed. I loved that bands were heavy in different ways. Messa really brought it, and I'm converted to being an Afksy fan.

The new @bradfordcamra.org.uk Tyke Taverner includes my write up of a 50km pub crawl ultra marathon I did this year, because when train disruption ruins your plans sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands.

Contains much Old Peculiar love 🖤

Great to see Revolutions Brewing on the line up for Wirral Beer Festival next weekend but surely it's a mistake? It's been closed for some time, but then people have recent check-ins on Untapped?

I hope it's true, I loved their beers, and these two sound lovely 🍺

I have had a glorious morning out and about around Leeds and Bradford, lovely weather for it as well. The new shoes don't have the same grip on mud as the old ones and I think that that is going to be An Issue.
