One of the first (and very few) times I smoked puff, it was round a friend's house - his parents had just got cable so we stayed up all night watching MTV. The video to "Big Love" came on and I laughed so hard I had to run into the bathroom and spew up in the sink. Tango In The Night is the...

Peter the Not So Great At Shoplifting

I never thought about this once, in 40+ years, until last year when I ordered a cheap baseball cap off eBay, because my hair was so long it was jabbing my eyes. It doesn't fit - even with a haircut since and that adjustable thing on the back, it looks tiny on me and...just wrong. So I think I...

This hasn't gone so well, lads. I sold my flat for £350k on Sunday, which I had no right to do - as I am renting - and put the lot on Dogecoin, expecting to become a zillionaire yesterday. The price actually fell - apparently 'Dogeday' means 'dump all your Doge day' - so I now have an angry...

I OD'd on him last year and have only read "Confessions Of A Crap Artist" this year - one of his non-sci-fi ones (though he manages to throw in a suburban UFO doomsday cult) and that also features the evil PKD woman archetype, screwing over her husband, brother and the married man she seduces...

Why, what's that gonna do?

I got some towards the end of last year, as a last-ditch attempt to fuck off the world of work, ASAP.This week's been very cool :cool: though nowhere near enough to retire on...yet. Of course, it could all crash to zero by the time I've typed this. No disrespect to HMGovt or anyone who...

I've been meaning to properly listen to The Groundhogs for a while, and might do so while there's still a semi-lockdown and I can spend inordinate amounts of time checking out entire discographies... My only, unlikely contact with them's been through squat-punks The Apostles, who recorded at...

I don't want to impose on the book club, but 'The Tempest' is one of my favourite Shakespeares - would recommend 'The Island Of Dr Moreau' and Muriel Spark's 'Robinson' straight after.

Oh yeah, that album's tosh. Liked this one, though - even if GPO could have worked a bit more on the lyrics: On the subject of dodgy aetheric coincidences, just been reading a book called "London Lore" and it details a 'ghost fraud' case involving a Londoner called William Kent.

Just realised he's actually bought that cat album - the one Youtube spent 6 months trying to get us to listen to.

Well yeah, if you just watch the trailer - classic schlock, 8/10. Add the other 100 minutes of her working in a fashion company and some subplot about her landlady's dog, and it's more like Zzz 45.

I remember reading about that before I was online, and dying to see it. Then finally tracking it down and being bored stupid.

Don't Open Til Xmas takes some beating.

I probably agree with most things he says - he just makes me cringe. He's like the Dick Lucas of Guardian writers (obscure Citizen Fish reference for Droid). But then again, I could just be a contrary git. I think so. Speaking personally, news last year about brooks in North London being choked...

Is this linked to ESP TV at all? That was a NY thing, remember watching the weekly updates - first time I ever caught Faten Kanaan with what I reckon's the best performance I've heard by her. They also used to splice in random footage from unknown vaults.

By the title, I thought it was going to be something about getting dementia from consuming microplastics in salmon. Incidentally, there's a big report out from Germany - while land-based packaging and waste is definitely causing problems in European waters, it's mainly confined to coastal areas...

The problem is this so often becomes a holier than thou pissing contest where smoked salmon or avocados become these terrible things you can feel good about boycotting, while ignoring the fact that all your socks were made in a sweat shop.
