On December 8, 2023, the day they buried MacGowan, we were nearly thrown out of a performance of Handel’s Messiah for snort-laughing (we’re hilarious people). Then we drank our way down Granville St, where we ended up in an Irish pub drinking double Jameson and pints of Guinness. A tableful of Irish women, a little bit South of sober, yelled at the bartender to show some respect and play some Pogues.

Definitely not a Martha Stewart kind of cook. I’m more earthy peasant kinda guy.

I’m getting pretty good at this cheese sauce.

My friend turned 50, and we’re celebrating with a record-listening party. I turned him on to the relationship between these three albums just under two decades ago. We are listening to them tonight.

It’s that season again. Always look on the bright side of life.

Dinner. Pork chops. Potatoes. Mushrooms. Onions. Loads of butter. Loads of salt. Thyme.

Somebody is turning 50 years old, and it isn't me. Happy Birthday, you bastard! This is us eight years ago.

A few books to whet the appetite for oysters.

I went shopping for vinyl in Victoria and found this classic.

It’s become an obsession. What the eff is that Horse in a Hospital going to do?

Wearing the colours!

The postman doesn’t always ring twice, James M. Cain, but when they do, they bring some nice vinyl. This time, it was two by Camille Miller.
