This is awful news. Though our times didn't always sync up, I loved our Skype calls; I know that others will confirm that he was the most pleasant, polite and downright lovely human being. Still intend to make it to his neck of the woods and raise a glass one day. Tonight I'll pour a little of my dr...

I remember Gene used to try and educate us imbeciles of the old timey blues guitarists and music makers by consistently dropping old rare music vids. I always enjoyed that. His MDM board namesake - Peetie Wheatstraw . Also he was one of the very few board members who thought I was funny, and no mat...

It seems that we've lost a longtime board member, and rock 'n' roll has lost a damn fine piano player. News was confirmed by Dave Alvin . This is fucking rotten news. Always loved peetie's input on here. Fittingly, I'm drinking Duvel right now. May have to empty the fridge tonight, but this one's fo...

Comin' atcha on a cauld Friday morning in Glasgow. Merry Christmas ya bums. Hope that you wake up to something stiff and potent. Or, better yet, a drink!

Those are dark times when bars are forcefully closed. I see only one solution but to summon the CONCLAVE OF THE CUP CRAVERS. Attendees of the triple C, IF YOU HAVE NOT BECOME RESPONSIBLE OR SUCH SHIT, PLEASE ANSWER ME. AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2021 WE SHALL ASSEMBLE AGAIN. OUR DESTINATION SHALL REMA...

Went to work four hours late and NOBODY NOTICED. Then drove for a while and, afterwards, got drunk.

Strawberry cream soda? That's a new one to me...

Can't go wrong with these sorts of mixers. Nice change from the norm...

Lately, I've come to appreciate two simple but effective vodka drinks. While it's not my go-to spirit, it is much cheaper than whisky and slightly more to my liking than gin in this weather. 1) Vodka and cream soda. I made this drink for myself and a friend when I had ran out of wine and everything ...

It's a Friday and I've got the day off. Few things to do, then it's time to open some cans and start to dance.

Here's to you, Boozy. I still hope we can get a drink again at some point and reminisce about the Triple C journeys through Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast. Hope that everything else in life is glowing for you. Take care, my friend.

The Wildhearts. Off to see them at a venue ten minutes from my flat. Always on form.

Rain, rain, rain. But the pub is nice and dry.

Wednesday wuz fun. Pub for the football, then pub because the football was over. Now doing basically the same thing, but with live music.

I guess that kebabs would normally be classed as "post-drunk" foods, but I went to a restaurant recently and duly ordered one with my stein. Come to think of it, I might've been in another city. Or country. In ca 2003 I`ve been to turkey, the origin of german kebab. It was nothing alike, it was cra...
