As part of DiS' exclusive Kaiser Chiefs takeover week of content, we asked frontman Ricky Wilson to keep a little Twitter_-like time-line of his day to give you a little glimpse into what it's like to spend a day in his trainers...
Wake up on tour bus
Look out of tiny window
See wall
Get out of bunk
Annoy Tim for a bit
Look for toilet
All engaged (really need toilet now)
Go to toilet
Don't open laptop
Potter around catering
Have toast
Put mayonnaise on it (doesn't work)
Go to dressing room
Whitey, Peanut, Simon and Tim on laptops
Nick in bed
Don't open laptop
Find small soft American football
Chuck it about with Tim in the big room
Get bored of that so potter about on stage
Inform Rich that one of his lights is broken
Go back to catering
Read tabloids
Not in them – Relieved
Danny says he knows where there's Ping Pong
Don't open laptop
Get shower (8 out of 10)
Sit with Whitey and watch skateboarders on YouTube
Rachel tells me I have three phone interviews
Tell her I have sore ear so can't do them
Doesn't work
Don't open laptop
Nick is up. He's changing Wikipedia
Nick is annoyed that it is all wrong
Mess about on gym equipment with Whitey
Do three foreign phone interviews
Some of these questions I have heard before
Complain about sore ear to Rachel
She doesn't believe me
Do radio interview with Nick
Interviewer looks EXACTLY like Zoe Ball
She doesn't see it herself, but we all did
Decide to keep Bullet points shorter
Still don't open laptop
Play Ping Pong in the dark
Tim calls it 'Night Ball'
Soundcheck
Nick expresses concern about smoke levels on stage
Get in a Clio and go to Snappy Snaps
Get passport photos for Visa
Play version of Blind Date with Tim and Peanut while we wait
Tim wins
Back in Clio, back to venue
Eat dinner
Talk about remote control planes for a bit
Whitey asks what I'm writing
I tell him it's a 'day in the life' for DiS
Nick is talking to Arthur Baker on the phone
Mess about with Tim on gym equipment
Tim invents 'Beetle-Ball'
Lie on sofa
Fall asleep
Wake up
Orla arrives with finished albums
Very pleased
Get changed
Strap up leg
Drink beer
Warm up
Go on stage
Play hits
Come off stage
Drink beer
Have a laugh
Go to bed
Dream about laptop
