Hello and welcome to episode 261 of the Standard Issue Podsene. I'm Mickey Ninon and I am still

queuing for a beer in Finnsbury Park. Literally everyone I know went to see Pop at the weekend.

Jen, people I knew were meeting people I knew and sending me photographs of this.

You'll see. Meeting each other in Finnsbury Park.

Well it's such a miracle that we bumped into each other, Jane and I, which is lovely.

But yeah, pulp were incredible and absolute joy came at the end of a horribly

a gig without beer. But it's supposed to be a festival anyway. Yeah, toilets can't do a gig with

squatty parties for women and I was the big fan of those. I did show it is what we were fighting

for a quality for because I don't think it is. But at the same time, it was very useful. A lot of

people were still queuing for a cubicle. Well, hopefully that's not going to happen to me tomorrow

because I'm Hannah's Unleavy and tomorrow night and who knows if this will make a hell mouth open?

Ron Swanson and I are going to be in the same room. This is very exciting. I've seen excellent
