Hello Dublin, you’re looking a lot less battered than I expected. Reckon there must have been a hell of a clean-up over the weekend.

There are those who say you shouldn’t have anything to drink when you have a houseful of 13-year old lads for a sleepover. I say it is the **only** way I am getting through this. Slainte.

It’s possible for me to have a nicer time than a glass of something good and listening to a growl-off between @tomwaits.bsky.social and Iggy Pop on @bbc6music.bsky.social but not in a way that I can properly describe here.

No finer accompaniment to late night working than spilling the entire glass of Glenallachie 15 cask strength you’ve allowed yourself all over your keyboard and desk. FuckSAKE. #ModernLifeIsRubbish
