    Have launched their new website. I think they used to have a policy of selling via Amazon, but have dropped that.

    Perhaps we should try and hack it and delete all the Derek Acorah titles in name of the Stroud Green Literary Revolution.

    My god. The man has no less than 13 titles in there. Still, I can take heart that Is it me or is everything just shit? Volume 2 is out soon and the cover looks like its got James Blunt on the front, which pleases me no end.

    http://www.thepsychicbarber.co.uk/about2.html "Born to Samuel Smith and Elizabeth Davis on 6th July 1962, in the Gorbals, Glasgow, Gordon is the proverbial seventh son of a seventh son, he has 3 sisters (one of whom died before he was born) and 3 brothers. Gordon has two sons Paul aged 24 and Steven aged 21. He lives next to a Loch on the west coast of his beloved Scotland."

    Now, I'm no maths whizz, but if you are the seventh son of a seventh son, shouldn't you have, you know, six brothers. Rather than three.

    Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, he obviously doesn't.

    You are no longer allowed to look at and react to posters on the tube! We will have no end of posts about the london economics forum and philosophy at the buddist centre.

    On a completely different note, a mouse just squeaked in here!!

    I am taking down the psychics, one dumbo at a time.

    I am pleased to note that my letter to Gordon Smith, inspired by Kelvin Mackenzie started "As I am sure you already know, I am big fan of yours"

    Just thinking about the HMV/Waterstones/Ottakar hydra.
    The sheer amount of land and building space they now must own baffles me. If Risk has taught me anything, you do not allow people to amass large clumps of land very close to each other.
    They basically own a street in Canterbury.
    And I have learnt over many Christmas's with my brother and sister is that you DO NOT allow this to happen.
