As a Scot I do get tired of the stereotypical depictions of the drunk alkie Jock, although God knows I've surely contributed to that narrative; but a suitcase of wine? That my friends is a whole new game of Jakeball.

God knows how many gigs I've been to, can't remember too much about most of em. One enduring memory is Pete Shelley coming on stage saying, "just finishing me ciggie", then sticking the filter on the clipped end of his D string. RIP Pete we love you.

The UK is a banana republic. First past the post elections are destroying any semblance of so called democracy. These reiving Tory bastards don't have a majority of actual votes but are untouchable in the house. We are idiots to let this stand. Also I like cats.😻
