linkComment 1/4/02 - I don't often mention upcoming TV programmes but tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4 an update on the Gaskin family story, 'No Going Back'.  I mentioned it before.

And for the more (less?) prurient minded a selection of the classic 'mutton dressed as lamb' Jayne Gaskin. [Warning: silicone-enhanced ex-Playboy bunny, ahoy]

linkComment 24/3/02 - A pretty comprehensive catalogue of Factory Records, posters, memorabilia, artefacts and dental bills.

linkComment 24/3/02 - When you go down to the woods today, something very strange is going on:

"We're sorry to report that the gristly illegal practise of pig bouncing is still prevalent in Puckoon Woods...

Pig bouncing , which apparently does not harm the pigs (in fact they enjoy it - similar to the foxes in fox hunting no doubt) is judged on how high the pigs fly, how many trampolines are landed on, and the pig's final dismount, ideally a straight legged finish with snout in the air."

linkComment 24/3/02 - Scourge of the Metro letters page, Major James Buffy-Maun.

linkComment 24/3/02 - Real cider is Brimblecombe cider! 

"The ciders are still pressed in traditional straw cheeses - the only maker I know of still doing this - and you can often taste the straw in the finished product."
linkComment 24/3/02 - Burger King improves on the veggie Whopper (bun, lettuce, tomato and mayo - that was all!):
"Burger King unveiled the BK Veggie on Monday, hoping to provide a meatless alternative to the Whopper and other fast-food fare. The flame-broiled, soy-free patty offers a blend of vegetables, grains and spices on a sesame seed bun."
linkComment 24/3/02 - An interview with Jeff Mangum; it's not looking good for Neutral Milk Hotel fans:
"Pitchfork: Will there be another Neutral Milk Hotel album?

Jeff: I don't know. It would be nice, but sometimes I kind of doubt it..."

linkComment 24/3/02 - I share a birthday with Paul Dirac - how cool is that?

linkComment 24/3/02 - Quotes from the movie 'Jaws' in which 'shark' is replaced by 'Jimmy Page': (via I Love Everything)

"You see a barracuda, everyone says, 'Huh? What?' You yell 'Jimmy Page,' we've got a panic on our hands on the 4th of July."
