Hey! Hey you! Everybody reading this! I hope your weekend is twice as good as mine will be! My weekend will be spent surrounded by great people I know, and in all liklihood lots of randoms I don't know but I will love to bits after 5 seconds, in variable weather conditions but with lots of beer and amazing music! I'm bursting at the seams at the prospect of another Truck! Plus my playlist has great music on it like 'Jurassic 5' and 'Wind-up Birds'. I dont think thats how you spell 'liklihood'...

Just worked out...most the bands I want to see when the heat is unbearable on Friday are indoors in the place that smells of cowshit, and most the bands I want to see on Saturday when we're getting (apparently) the kind of weather Noah had to endure (but it never happened, all religion is mental made up bullshit...come on, you're grown ups, stop believing in fairy stories) I'll be freezing me bollocks off on the main stage. I'm not moaning, I am in my happy place regardless.

I am really, really lucky to go to some amazing festivals every year. What I can never, ever understand is why you can never find a tent playing decent indie after the bands have finished. You can hear all kinds of weird bleepy bleepy car alarm shit that has nothing to do with the bands that have played for the 12 hours before...but no Smiths/Charlatans/Mondays/WuB's/Inspirals/Manics/SFA! Its mental!

Never been to a festival where there 2 weather warnings in place on consecutive days before. Heatwave on Friday, thunderstorms Saturday. I shall be appropriately attired on both days...a t-shirt and shorts Friday, and a t-shirt and shorts Saturday.

Not sure I can pull off a bright yellow t-shirt without looking like a prize tit. Luckily I work with a great bunch of people who would never shy away from providing constructive feedback.

Was very tempted to download that 'Timehop' thing...then I thought do I really want to be reminded of the utter bollocks I was no doubt spouting a year ago?? Probably not.

Exactly a week today I'm going to be getting my ear chewed off by a highly excited 4 year old going to his first festival...exactly a week today a highly excited 41 year old going to his 401st festival will be chewing the ear off a highly excited 4 year old. Its all about the 4's and 1's around here!

'Wait...wait...so 'X is shoot, 'B' is sliding tackle and 'Y' is pass to your own player?? OK...I get it now...can we start again?? Hang on...am I red and black or yellow??'

Doing a 'Don't Try-athlon' at the weekend. It'll basically be me sat on the settee looking out the window thinking about 3 things I could be doing if I wasn't such a lazy bastard. Wish me luck.

Brilliant day at Godiva Festival yesterday. Great music, great people...even great weather. And Shaun Rider was remarkably sober

I know for a lot people living in the city centre and hearing screaming sirens 24/7 would be their idea of hell. I like to embrace it and make it a positive. I just fling open the balcony door, put 'The Shield' on Netflix and pretend I have the world's best TV surround sound system. Shove yer lemons up yer arse.

Tempted to wait until there is a massive queue in Domino's then go and stand at the back, deliberately fall and try and knock everybody in the queue over one by one...just to see if it works.

Was looking at the ingredients on some Quorn crap I had just eaten and apparently its fungus and mould. Which is a bit mingy. What I couldn't figure out was why it has a 'best before' date. Surely mould can't go off? And if it did how would you tell? I'm funny about what I eat (I wont eat food on the day its 'BB'), now I find out I'm now eating stuff thats already gone off once ages ago. Nice.

Watching a bit of Glastonbury earlier and it says 'Press the red button'...I do, and the TV goes off. That'll the button I'll be using when Kasabian come on. Somebody called Sam Smith is on. I didn't know what the colour beige sounded like until now.

Was trying to decide on what my favourite day ever was and decided it was probably the first day my nephew cried when I left after visiting rather than cried when I turned up. Then I thought...having a favourite day that is purely down to a 2 year old crying at a different time makes me sound like a right shit.

Heard one of my favourite jokes again today. What have healthy dogs and short-sighted gynaecologists have in common? They both have wet noses.

Had a great conversation yesterday about changing stuff you've done if you could live your life again. I wouldn't. I've made fucking loads of mistakes. And continue to do make them on a y̶e̶a̶r̶l̶y̶, m̶o̶n̶t̶h̶l̶y̶, b̶i̶-̶w̶e̶e̶k̶l̶y̶, w̶e̶e̶k̶l̶y̶, d̶a̶i̶l̶y̶, h̶o̶u̶r̶l̶y̶,m̶i̶n̶u...

You know what they say...if it ain't broke, you probably didn't buy it from Argos.

My stupid idea for an emergency bank holiday isn't looking as stupid now is it...

Starting to think buying a TRUCK FESTIVAL ticket for little Harry was a really bad idea...only because if he makes me laugh as much as he has in the last 2 hours over the course of 2 days I'm going to come home a funny shape.

Hearing Mark Lawrenson saying 'Ooh yeah just slip it inside' is possibly the most disturbing thing I've heard this year...and bearing in mind I accidentally heard the new Kasabian single thats saying a lot. His poor missus.

Alright. Won 2 guest passes for '2000Trees Festival'. As its weekend between Godiva and Truck cant go so if any of you want them give us a shout. Dont want owt for them obviously. Its Thursday 10th July to Sat 12th. Decent line up, DLS v SP, Frightened Rabbit, PSB, Band of Skulls...loads of others. In Gloucester. Give us a shout and will try and put them in your name.
