So a few days ago, I was floating through Facebook and there, in among all the really important stuff about Neal Maupay and arguments about what’s The Fall’s best album (you really want my Facebook feed now, don’t you), I saw this: A VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING THE […]
We must be getting near to Christmas”, said George, glaring at me from across the net. George, uncharacteristically looked, well, annoyed. “Yes George”, I said. “Christmas is not too far off now. And by the way,” I said “that’s a nice present”. “I’m most grateful”, I chuckled. An […]
