The holiest of all the Christmas traditions.
A nearly empty purple Cadbury Heroes tub sits on a glass counter, containing only a small handful of individually wrapped chocolates in the centre. All Eclairs. Beneath the counter, various coloured spools of thread are visible. The background shows the entrance area of a shop with a dark door and worn floor.”

Mum! Mum! We’re in the Daily Expr… oh.
A screenshot of a Daily Express Facebook post dated 24 November. The headline reads “Tensions rising over asylum seekers” with a grimacing emoji. Below it is a street photo of a busy UK high street with people walking and cars passing. The buildings are old and close together, including the Queen’s Head pub on the right. A shop sign for Balcony Shirts in the middle of the street scene is circled in yellow. At the bottom of the post, a red banner headline says: “UK town ‘torn apart’ by illegal migration as it houses one in 10 asylum seekers.”

One day I’ll stop finding this funny but that day is not today.

Extraordinary scenes in Uxbridge as we’re under almost 6 inches of snow on Windsor Street. Never seen anything like it. #uksnow

A four album run so devastating brilliant it defies belief. Todd Snider was an all-timer. Rest in peace and eternal thanks.

If you're from Uxbridge and you're not wearing the Dennis The Menace colourway Uxbridge FC scarf this winter you've really got to question your life choices. Available at the ground on match days or at www.uxbridgefcshop.co.uk

I felt like I needed to complete the story.
At the top, a box reads, “Thursday 30th October 2025 — A pigeon enters the shop.” The scene shows the inside of a small shop, with a man in glasses and a cap standing behind a counter. He wears a jacket over a T-shirt that partially reads “THE ACK.” On the counter sits a pigeon next to a computer monitor and keyboard. The man looks at the pigeon and says, “Hello… pigeon!” In the next panel, the pigeon flies toward him, wings spread wide, and says, “SQUARK! I would like a T-shirt please, a V-neck.” The same man looks blankly at the pigeon, now perched and speaking politely. He says, “We have to order in V-necks, so you’ll need to wait 2–3 days. If you’d like a crew neck T-shirt, we can do it for you straight away?” The pigeon replies calmly, “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to wait a few days. I’d prefer a V-neck.” At the bottom corner: the words “THE END.”

This is the story of when a pigeon came into our shop on Thursday
A hand-drawn comic page dated “Thursday 30th October 2025” titled “A Pigeon Enters the Shop.” In the first panel, a pigeon sits on a counter inside a T-shirt shop as a man in glasses and a cap looks at it, saying, “Hello… pigeon!” In the next panel, the pigeon spreads its wings mid-flight and says, “SQUARK! I would like a T-shirt please, a V-neck.” The artwork is detailed with cross-hatching and ink shading.

“We need a name for our own brand fish fingers”

“What sort of thing were you thinking?”

“Something that evokes feelings of the ocean or the sea?”

“I’ve got it!”

Next week our shop in Uxbridge is 16 years old. Incredible we've lasted that long and we are very grateful to all our customers over those years. We've actually been going for over 22 years now. That's just ridiculous. This is me and Chris when we were children.

We are designing a new nape print for our stuff. We are thinking about putting a QR code on it. Do you use QR codes? Is that a good idea or silly? Thank you for taking part in our free market research.

Spoiler alert: we really do have “two tier policing“ in this country and it’s about to kick in right about now.

If anyone heard the story of my cat Benson getting a stick stuck up his nose on James O’Brien’s show on LBC earlier, this was the card I made for Mrs Balcony later that year.
