There can’t be many people who read this diary who aren’t on my mailing list, but if there are this is what Tripel are saying:

Kimberley Q. Titor sent me this with the subject heading “met your bro. yest.” Since he was travelling from Australia on the day in question and he’s a bit of a boy and he has a fear of flight which he combats with alcohol I didn’t immediately assume it was spam. Why does spam take [...]

I was going to make a speech at last night’s Bad Timing birthday gig but I forgot because I’m an arse and I was drinking Stella. It would have gone something like:

He also used to be in the legendary ironic teenpunk group Boysnatch with Bobby J, who is essentially my motherfucking brother, although maybe that’s [...]

Dear Pete
Painfully accurate about the APU gig. One of the strangest nights in recent memory. The thing that got me about the crowd was how weirdly normal they all were, not even indie kids. Indie kids I can handle, they were just…nothing. Anywayyyy, been reading a backlog of your diary entries, hadn’t looked [...]

Was reading something somewhere the other day about people planning parties to celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, and I was wondering whether it would be a better idea to celebrate her death within her lifetime. After all, someone asked George Bush what people would think of his presidency in 300 years time and he [...]
