It is an absolute time vortex.  I try not to think about the number of times I caught myself saying "just one more side quest" at 2am...

Or more depressingly, forging yet another steel dagger

Taskmaster Season 9 (Baddiel, Brand, Gamble, Matafeo, Wix). First thing in a long time that's consistently had me belly laughing

I've got to say that I think Ed Gamble is up there for me.  He was 100% committed to it, and just consistently made me laugh my arse off.

I can also confirm that My Baby were great fun last week in Brighton.  They're definitely a far better live band than they are on record; it just doesn't capture the energy for me.  Quite low attendance being a relatively unknown band on a cold Thursday night, but crowd was dancing from start to finish

Yes indeed.  Was a good night and Hall by the Sea is a good venue but you can't beat those summer events on the Scenic Stage.

haha that's unfortunately the way it goes sometimes in this lovely country of ours!  In contrast, the Camp Bestival takeover on the same stage in April was glorious!
