tip of the hat to (I can’t remember the name tbh) for giving out a ‘phantom airships’ prompt. www.jstor.org/stable/24702...

heh, and the reason I practically LIVED at that pub in my Brighton years was because I could get from the pool to a pint of HSB in a couple of minutes (they used to have noticeably quick service).

All Lehmann’s titles are applicable rly.

‘Up and down, too, goes Colonel Poole, casting a boiled eye upon us, doffing a straw boater to our parents; spare, wizened, spruce, wielding his punt pole with military precision; white-flanneled automaton, fanatical, punting alone day long, spring, summer, autum

whoa, that site has some insane end-of-level-boss ratio of ads to content:

AUUGH! (tq)

But is this the bread guy? I am really confused.

OH. HIM? OKAY.
(never knowingly heard).

7” sleeve. I spent a lot of 1979 drawing ‘THE REZILLOS’ logos and copying the illustration style with a 0.35 Rotring Isograph (wrong tool, but the only tool I had).

best live track in any genre is The Rezillos ‘Cold Wars’.

well, obviously, this Jason Sourdough person WHOMST I didn’t know even existed until today. David Cassidy’s (*SCREAM*) scar would be a better brand ambassador.

mostly liked for the use of ‘Authentocrat’, which I haven’t seen in the wild for 10-15 or so. Your ‘totes amazeballs’ summer beckons.

look, I was checking out flats in Luton* on Rightmove and needed a palate cleanser.
