Daily Routine.

At Some Point Get up, I don't need no sodding alarm clock
Have A Fag
Go and get some Breakfast, Toast and Bovril with a nice cup of tea.
Have another Fag
remind oneself to wash one's 3 pairs of dark hoodies.
Go and have Shower, declare oneself's to be the best of all time.
Remember to call Will about the setlist
Forget to call Will about the setlist
Try to work out if La La Lo Do Da, constitutes a new song
Listen to latest Bunnymen Concert, on Cassette, cos Computer's are for peados.
listen to The Doors, for reference point for vocals.
Watch david bowie documentary (that one where he's in the car) make note to base future appearance on this (probably)
Call Peasey, need more ciggys
Call Pete (manager) need to promote something, latest album? Will not bothered with this.
Calll the missus, remember missus lives in House, so called ex-missus, talk to other children.
Peasey comes round, we have a fag.
Peasey takes out rubbish, forgot it was bin day.
Have Lunch/Dinner? dark outside, must be late, been a hectic day.
Go outside
Come back Inside.
Will calls, asks about setlist, I tell him I'll think about it.
Rearrange existing setlist so Silver comes before All That Jazz
Will angry, refuses to speak to me
disconnect phone, some people have no manners what so ever.
Have a snack, watch the world's greatest footy club, against the might
of West Brom.
Go to bed.

Shouldn't there be one like:

Go to Supermarket, realise have no actual money, call Pete to bail
me out, after Checkout girl fails to recognise me, or find my Knock
Knock Joke funny.

Yes, I believe he's been inside of a supermarket, at least to buy booze and ciggies.

I remember reading many years ago he was denied entry to a grocery because he had his hood up and the manager/owner claimed he looked too much like a gang member.

what does he drink?
What does he smoke?

If you could choose one vice for him to give up.
What would it be?

I don't think ITM could be his ex-wife.

She wouldn't be an Uber-fan for a start.

I disagree.

DYKWIA is far worse, what possessed them to play that live. Shroud of Turin
or Everlasting Neverending, would've been a better choice.

I think they ran out of ideas after Siberia, which should've been a top 40 hit.
That knocked them for 6 for a while.

I've noticed that the last time he sounded ok was about 2001,
and the last time he looked Ok, or had a regular trip to the Barbers
was around 2003.

Although he did put an effort in for the Croc/HUH shows, so hats off
to him for that, though I suspect Will had something to do with that.
