Friends reunited. Ricky Maymi and I at Dublin's Olympia Theatre earlier today. Last time I walked this stage was 27 (count em') years ago, when I was supporting Echo and the Bunnymen on their Evergreen comeback tour. Really looking forward to the BJM show tonight. x

Walked passed this window display thinking it a cool outfit, only to walk back that way 5-minutes later to find they'd ruined it by adding a pair of jeans. x
