I love that you've even censored his hand.

That is literally Quite Interesting.

I wouldn’t know but I did see a thing on QI about how Dundee United is an insult in Nigeria. The British Nigerian comic on the show didn’t realise it was a real team.

You’ve also got to remember both bands are English so to some Scots they can both fuck off.

That annoyed some people here because they thought as he’s from Dundee he wouldn’t support an Edinburgh team.

I don’t know about that but an old relative of mine referred to the Beatles as those catholics. Which I thought was a bit weird myself. My mum prefers the Beatles though and she’s a proddy.

My school in Edinburgh was literally next to the football ground for Hearts and the other team was Hibs which for ages I didn’t realise was seen as a catholic team. They bloody love all that nonsense up here.

It’s not that but, and baring in mind I know nothing about football, I get the impression if you’re Scottish and catholic it’s against the law not to support them.

My dad didn’t like football when I was a kid and I think that’s why I’m not into it but my dad converted to Catholicism and probably felt he did no choice.

His dad is from Glasgow so he probably grew up being told who to support. But then my dad also supports Glasgow Celtic but I’m not from where my dad’s from.

I always get yelled at when I point out he’s a Londoner. Hardly ever by actual Scottish people though.

Oh are you going to the Dolomites? I really should be over London by now, to be fair.

I’ve not seen Scavengers Reign but obviously I’m going to have a look.

“Doing a Jimmy C*rr”

Sorry, I didn’t mean to turn this into a comedy chat (I know more about it than music) but using offence to cover low bar humour is a huge bugbear of mine. People use it to get away with the shittiest material.

It was a real problem when I was a comedian. It was making me quite callous. “Only joking” is more often than not complete bullshit.

An ex once said that a problem with me is I will often “put the joke first” meaning I think “as long as it’s funny I don’t care” Not entirely fair but I saw her point and perhaps I’ve done that here. I just find it very easy to picture a punk band in 1977 called that.

I’m no more likely to listen to them than I am to Taylor Swift. I know myself well enough to know what I’m attracted to musically. As for the name I am kind of surprised a northern Irish band hasn’t called themselves that before.

Possibly a spam attempt at stealing your details. Check the sender’s address by hovering the cursor over it. I had to change my bank card when this happened to me on Etsy.

While you’re right of course, even my mum can now name one London punk rap band, I never buy music by anyone because I agree with it. It occurred to me over the weekend i haven’t heard one second of Kne*cap’s music.

It must be tough trying desperately to wish Cthulhu into existence every morning and still nothing.

Just never ending AI generated shite from my YouTube algorithm. I wouldn’t mind it quite so much if the videos didn’t have hundreds of comments under them believing them 100%.

The old people who sarcastically insisted “it’s called summer” appear to have died of heat stroke.

It’s 2000AD actually, mother. Gaaaaaaawwd-ah.

I think there is a reason it feels even hotter than it is but I’m not sciencey enough to tell you. It’s merely hot up here. I hope you’ll all be ok.

My weather app is set to London and I keep forgetting. I freaked out first thing this morning when I looked.
comment in response to

It’s just normal summer hot here but my pathetic goth nerd genes are finding that hard enough so I’d probably be dead if I were still in Hackney.

It’s so funny you should say that. When the Monkeys show was repeated in the 80s I got a lot of That’s you that is.

Thank you. That’s good to hear. I was fond of doing them but to quote Spinal Tap, “their fans have become more selective”
