Going back to Coronovirus for a moment, it’s sad to see how many of the mags haven’t adjusted in time. BBC Music Mag has a whole supplement on this summer’s classical music festivals around the world, hundreds of […]

Can’t begin to understand the economics of it all, but not my problem. I read a lot of stuff I wouldn’t dream of buying in the newsagent, of course. Mags do occasionally come to their senses and disappear though.

Stay well, Carolina. Same experience as you with Sainsbury’s – I fired off an outraged letter to the CEO last week, but strangely enough he hasn’t replied…but they (and presumably other supermarkets) now have […]

My Man! Cornered*…takes a selfie thread to bring you out of purdah, eh? Big man hugs from the banks of the English channel. Go easy on the Pringles, eh?

*best I could do.

Cuts down the recycling burden for those of us who have no attics to keep them in, too.

This might be the moment to mention Readly yet again. For £7.99/month I get Uncut, Mojo and Q, as well as Commando, Viz, The Oldie, all the Mac and guitar mags, Wisden Cricket Monthly, and lots of dodgy gun and […]

Nice bit of Aussie abbrevio there, Junior!

Support network that actually seems to be working update: I spoke too soon. Having received my first Emergency Boris Box yesterday (corned beef, mushy peas, baked beans etc, no Angel Delight sadly) I’ve just […]

@andyourbirdcansing that’s good to hear. One of the few pluses in this situation, from where I sit anyway, is that while Johnson, Gove and the rest of them wifflewaffle away in Westminster, some heroic civil […]

The artist didn’t say…fair bet though.

IKEA, yes…good for stashing your harmonica collection in too.

Oh go on…left to right, some glue, some batteries, a stapler, limited edition print of Lee Brilleaux astride Southend sea front, weird Mayan-type vase thing given to me by a grateful author, the daughter at a […]

Trump’s narratives are largely made up of flaws. His whole shtick at the moment is aimed at getting him re-elected in November. I mean, what kind of dickhead boasts about his TV ratings at a time like this? (No […]

@andyourbirdcansing, can’t remember the precise sequence of events, but I got the letter a couple of days ago. Still getting a daily text from NHS, though I think they’re running out of ideas – yesterday’s advised […]

Not good.

Word up…I checked back with Waitrose, where I’ve had a gradually shrinking trolley for a week – and got a slot this coming Monday lunchtime! Can only get 6 items in each category, but nevertheless. Brightened my […]

No help if you’re just browsing, but if there’s something you know you want to see there’s a handy app called JustWatch which gives you all the options – free, rent or buy – and where. You can switch countries […]

Virtual man hug in solidarity @bigsteviecook.

Careful now…”Yes, on Amazon Prime you can get a harpsichord and a falconry glove delivered by first thing tomorrow, but you will neither use this period to learn the harpsichord nor take up falconry. ”

We’ve probably still got the ones you sent us in the last big flap somewhere.
