Someone must be very proud

It’s top notch

Passing the Kirkgate I am reminded of when the benches were removed to discourage ‘undesirable behaviour’ from Leith’s denizens and Leith’s denizens responded magnificently.
The benches were reinstated soon after

Octopus., by Hilliat Fields 8 track album

By the way...The new album, Octopus, is really, really good.
Very slow.
I mean, really slow.
& the pieces are rather long.

Don't take my word for it though.
Go listen...

I’m on the 14 bus in Edinburgh, a rare occurrence.
My first 14 experience was memorable - sat at the back of top deck,some kids tried to bully us out of the seats.
Part of the exchange was:
Kid: “Where you going?”
Me: “None of your business”
Kid: “You’re going down the docks to fuck my mum!”

Cover of Saltburn. A seal sits under a beach umbrella.

Saltburn by Drew Gummerson. A collection of overlapping short stories set in a fictionalised version of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, featuring mermaids, a foetus museum, and a psychic piece of ass, among other bizarre elements. Yes, this book is surreal, but it's also a biting commentary on capitalism, war & homophobia. At its heart is the outsider, a boy who doesn't fit in, sometimes because of his sexuality, sometimes because he turns into a girl at midnight. It has some very bleak moments but also parts that made me laugh out loud. A great read if you enjoy the bizarre, and aren't squeamish about gay sex (which there's a LOT of).

Profound and perverse, this collection of stories is set in a fictionalised Saltburn. Told with deadpan sincerity, these interconnected tales shift between playful and obscene and include - a gift shop owner exposing a scam involving seaside rock and kidnapped women, a boy developing psychic abilities after preserving an accidentally-bitten-off piece of ass and a rebellious son of the glove manufacturer who falls in love with a deep-sea diver. .

Six short stories set in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, a few miles from Redcar, not far from Middlesbrough. Themes of poverty, grief, sexuality, sexual discovery...echoes of Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Burroughs, but set on the shores of the United Kingdom. There's a bit of the ordinary madness of Magnus Mills thrown in there as well. This is a brilliantly bizarre book, just like one of Drew Gummerson's other novels Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel that I read a couple of years ago. It's hilarious, innovative, the attention to detail is unreal and the imaginativeness unrivalled - beginning with a young boy's chaotic life as he grapples with his mother's eccentricity and the rest of the town's madness. Difficult to sum it up in a few paragraphs, one of those you have to experience. Talented writer and definitely recommend.

Happy 1st Birthday to my short story collection Saltburn!

A game.

Yr pet gets chosen to be immortalised on a banknote

Which picture are you submitting?

Horse in Thomas the Tank Engine outfit

The new £5 note is gonna look ace

I don’t know why people are getting so het up about banknotes. They had John McEnroe on it for years and nobody seemed to mind.

Another horse has died at this year’s Cheltenham Festival.

HMS Seahorse’s death follows that of Hansard, bringing the total number of horses who have died at the festival since 2000 to 80*.

This is unacceptable. If this happened in any other sport, there would be a huge outcry.

Anywhere describing itself as an ‘eatery’ is instantly questionable
