Tales from the middle from nowhere – Update
19. Juni 2009
Hello? Is there anybody out there? Been having technical problems with the lines of communication of late. Sorry for the break in transmission. Normal service is now resumed – and no, you’re not getting your money back!! While I’m on that subject, it seems that around 20,000 of you have asked for a refund from that night at Heaton Park!! 20,000!! So you were genuinely disappointed? I don’t recall seeing a 20,000 gap in the crowd. Cheeky cunts! Tsk ..some people.
Anyway, no such problems in Scotland. Gig at Murrayfield was great. Great crowd, as always. The Enemy and Kasabian were on top form. Didn’t see The Reverend.
Apart from – yet again! – some poor DJ’ing from Romeo the party in the dressing room was a good-un. Didn’t leave ’til the sun came up. Respect to Kasabian. They were still there when I left and they had a gig in Glasgow last night! Fuck that. They must’ve been rough as arseholes.
Off to Dublin today where, for one night only, we will welcome The Prodigy to the tour. Slane Castle tomorrow. Silvermints, Tayto crisps and brunches! YUMMY.
In a bit.

Good afternoon.
Last night was our 99th gig of this tour. NINETY-FUCKIN’-NINE!!
I have to say the people of Wales were right up there with the best. What a choir!!! You could hear them in the valleys.
Kasabian again were fuckin’ outrageous. If they’re not selling out stadiums within 2 years I’ll eat Joanna Lumley’s shit!!
Can’t remember great swathes of the night. Ricky “The Hitman” and Rhys “The (S)hit(faced)man” were on board for the evening. Apart from some woeful dj’ing by Romeo the night was a good ‘un, I think.
Off to the South of France tonight. Someone’s booked a random gig for us in Lyon (is that in the South of France?). Weather’s nice, apparently.
Tous-tous le monde ‘n’ all that.

Arright.
Great night last night. Watched all 3 bands. The Makers. The Enemy and Kasabian. From out front. All brilliant. It may have been the best I’ve ever seen from Kasabian. Great crowd. Very young. Very male. Saying that, you’re never quite sure up in the north-east, could’ve been lots of girls there. Everyone looks the same!! Unbelievable audience though. Kind of makes you wish you were 20 again and down the front with your mates.
Anyway, enough of that bollocks. Little spotty-arse Ronaldo is finally leaving England!! £80m. To Real Madrid (they could’ve bought Newcastle for that). Good riddance, I say.
Am currently en route to Cardiff. This one WILL get messy. The Peth are opening up. All 10 of ‘em. Apparently Rhys has broken his leg – and he’s still doing the gig!! He fuckin’ loves it.
