Fair enough, I don’t think the Miley incident is bad to be honest. Politely declining a request to meet someone, whilst disappointing for them, isn’t rude really.

The other incidents don’t cast him in particucarly great light though and there does seem to be consistencies in them. Being rude sometimes isn’t the worst crime in the world though.

The image of an apparently genteel Howard Devoto approaching Thom in a museum, and being loud and frightening, has tickled me though.

he did something similar about a festival in the Lake District too, although if I recall correctly the language/insults in those tweets was a bit more :grimacing: . man just hates British festivals.

Ha loooool I remember that because the festival was called Cock Rock

Found this after 10 seconds of searching, it’s not as offensive as I (mis)remembered

One of the first gigs I ever went to was an NME Awards show. Hell is for Heroes, Saves the Day and The Bellrays in about 2003

Remember being excited thinking we were going to an actual awards ceremony :joy:
