A complimentary upgrade when we walked in the @OVOHydro to see the @DropkickMurphys with @HassallTheHoff since we were the first ones in the OVO Energy door. That's one hell of a run on sentence but they have beef brisket fries maaaaan
In 2020 I only managed 69 miles from home (a Steel Panther show pre-COVID) - the screenshot is on this account somewhere.
2022 was a lot better anyway according to #GoogleMaps and the first time I've hit 'around the world' status since 2015 which is nice (and I also managed to avoid going to Aberdeen again which is always a positive).
Second time we've won a quiz this week for ยฃ50 (but this time we didn't get done out of it on a technicality).

#ClashAtTheCastle in person was everything I'd hoped to see & experience in a PPV after watching them on Sky Box Office & streaming services for the last 25 years.
@CMPunk may be the talk of the wrestling world right now, but @WWESheamus, @Gunther_AUT, @RomanReigns and of course @DMcIntyreWWE brought a cult-like feeling of euphoria over the 62K people in that arena on Saturday.
Today got real interesting, real fast anywayโก

Front row of the final show of @Alanis Morissette's 25/27th anniversary tour of Jagged Litle Pill. (I was only ten when the album came out which is my excuse for not seeing it first time round in 1995).
This is the 5th ticket & 3rd venue I've had for this tour thanks to COVID lockdowns, a wedding in Cyprus & laryngitis (Alanis' - not mine).
I also think I'm the lone male under age 45 here too.

Lit are a band I've wanted to see since 1998 after I heard 'Beginning' when some kid 2 years above me was playing it in the open-plan art department we had in high school. Loved them ever since.
24 years later, I finally got to see them & they were as great as 2 & a half decades of anticipation could be. I PledgeMusic'd 'These Are The Days' and I'm pretty sure that 'Atomic' was the last physical CD I ever bought.
Totally worth the wait (& I'd jump at a second chance).

@LessThanJake is another band that I waited 20 years+ too long to see. Also, you can never go wrong with air dancers. #LessThanJake #Glasgow
After driving 30 minutes up single lane & comically windy roads with hairpin bends, I apparently then reversed into another hire car in our big box van (swipe along) while going about 2mph.

In my defence - in this post-COVID enviroment where every second restaraunt doesn't offer the range of condaments they used to (so there's less cross interaction between customers) - it's best to come prepared.
Plus it's eh, more enviromentally friendly that those tiny little sachets where you only get 2ml out of one packet.
Also, @caitlinweir26 is suuuch a hater

Someone in Dundee taking the line 'Demand to be buried like Eva Perรณn' from Evita quite literally. Also, doesn't the black COVID mask on the passenger just ramp up the morbidity level?
According to @GoogleMaps - in the whole of 2020 - I've travelled less than 100 miles in any direction from Broughty Ferry. The furtherest south & west was for a pre-pandemic @SteelPanther show in February and the most north & east was to Roo's Leap in August for 'Dine Out To Help Out'. How depressing. Thanks COVID. ๐ท
I love the drawing - it's like, is this a corner shop or an S&M club?

Weirdos. (But catching the bubble was nice)
After weeks of never being able to see her, I finally caught a photo of the leader of the Tambourine Gestapo. This woman (along with her wooden spoon) marches up and down our shared driveway every Thursday night at 8pm making sure every household has a clapping representative out for her to see or she'll sign us up for attendance at a re-education camp. #SneakyKevReillyShot #Dundee #ClapForOurCarers #ClapOrDie
Politics aside - the use of the dripping 'blood' font & insistence on 'txt spk' tells me this was commissioned by a future serial killer #Dundee #BroughtyFery #TheRona
