I've recommended them before, I'll recommend them again, RIGHT NOW!
I've no new book out this Christmas and it feels weird. I'm very proud of my previous ones though and many are 30% off this weekend with the code BOOKGIFT30.

What if I *like* talking about the weather and how annoying public transport and traffic is, what then?

This is a very good view of the nuts way transport is(n't) working in Merseyside.
Especially insane is that on Stagecoach you still have to stop and ask for a ticket - a paper ticket - which means getting on the bus takes longer, the buses are messier, the drivers are even narkier than usual.

New blog: Integration. Integration. Integration, that's what you need. www.merseytart.com/2025/11/inte... - where I discover that Tap & Go is less a leap forward for Merseyside, more a slight stumble.

I love getting updated info about my Natwest Pension, from a job I worked in for four years back at the start of the 2000s, earning at most, I think, the exciting sum of £11,202.
Can't wait to retire and live a playboy lifestyle off my bank pension money!

Yeah, you think you’ve got some Beatles rarities, but so far I appear to be the only person in the world who’s got a HAUNTED VERSION OF THE ANTHOLOGY on their telly.

If Morgan goes missing soon it's either (a) because Beyoncé has kidnapped him to arrange her album for a country band or - more likely - (b) he's been assassinated by her Copyright lawyers.

Does anyone have any advice on writing one of these? I've done it numerous times but I always worry it's where I fall short.

I know it's going to be very exciting having the Anthology on hand, streaming, over the next few days and I think, from what I understand, the technical work on the episodes will be great...
...but DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR DVDs! The episodes are all going to be standardised to an hour's length.

Anybody got a recommendation for a decent website service when you want to put together a 'portfolio' site (for sharing musical projects, podcasting, writing and bits and bobs)? There seems to be quite a lot of providers.

Very amused to stumble across these enigmatic adverts for the Bonzo Dog Band's Keynsham album in a 1969 NME.
(There's another one with the Studdy cartoon dog with a cartoon musical 'bomb' saying "Crikey! I do hope everything goes off alright" as well, but no mention of the band name anywhere.)

Used to be a pub crawl called The Smithdown 10 here in Liverpool. That’s long since gone, but with the advent of another Mini-mart opening in the old Frank’s Pub you can probably do the Smithdown 10 of shonky mini-marts within the stretch of about 500 yards.

As we're in #Beatles #Anthology season, here's a piece of artwork depicting everyone's favourite talking head from the series - dear old Neil Aspinall.
This was drawn by Paul's partner, Lorraine, and some of you may have seen this as part of the wonderful @teatles.bsky.social 'Trumps' card game.
