High Court injunctions notwithstanding, this will be out as a limited run hardback a few months from now – probably first thing in 2026, as my day job goes mental at Christmas. Put £20 under your mattress, and sign up to my website to be the first to know. You snooze, you lose.
I bought Meat is Murder from Boots.
Superb. The people I've seen on that stage. The Butthole Surfers! Sonic Youth! The Smiths! The Pogues! Etc.! Excellent parenting skills.

Landlords hate it, which is an encouraging sign.
Thank you for this – since 2007 my greatest regret in life has been not stopping to take a photo of this sign when we passed it.
I had a Tony Husband stuck to the fridge for years – a man sitting at a table in front of a lampshade made of a pair of Y-fronts, while his wife explained to a visitor that 'Charles makes lampshades out of his old underpants.' Always hoped to buy the original...
